Neeyat

Film Review: Neeyat Streaming on Prime Video

An eccentric billionaire with a tarnished image throws a birthday party at a remote castle in Scotland for a select group of friends & family members. Things don't go as planned and people start dropping dead. It is then up to a mysterious detective Mira Rao (Vidya Balan) to piece together the clues and reveal the truth.

This is similar to films like Agatha Christie's "And there were none" "Gumnaam", "Knives Out " and other similar films. Nothing new in the story.

Cast is good with Ram Kapoor as the billionaire AK, Rahul Bose , Neeraj Kabi , Shahana Goswami, Nicky Aneja, Dipannita Sharma and others doing a decent job.

With a runtime of around 130 minutes, the film tends to drag a bit, especially the first half.

The real action starts in the second half and ends decently. Not bad !!

However the script has nothing new to offer and lack of real jump scare moments with a heart pounding BGM are sorely missed.

All in all a timepass one time watch on OTT !!

Going with 2.5/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂!!

Plot has many loopholes. Acting is also bad. Can't believe Rahul Bose acted so badly in the movie.

Ram Kapoor was not a fit for the role. Too many secondary characters with pathetic acting skills. Only that made in heaven guy had a decent acting ability. Others were just bad. I can't re-iterate it enough DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE.

Just a copied movie from multiple Hollywood movies. If you really want to watch murder mystery movies, you can try knives out. But, don't watch this movie. I guess even Raat akeli hai(though a bad movie, but it's still better than this)

I gave it a try for the sake of Vidya balan, but no. I mean her acting was decent but role was pathetic. I guess I should have watched Kahaani movie again.

If you have watched Knives Out then first thought while watching this movie will be that it is adapted version or you can say simply copied but it can't be (that movie was really good).

Even Vidya Balan cannot save this film with her acting skills because director must have thought of something else.

Movie opens with introduction of all characters which is way longer than required. Most murder mystery either opens or after 10-15 minutes someone dies than all detective things happens but it took more than 1hr till interval in this movie to start with something. Many of the movie important parts were too much predictive that you would ruin your whole mood of thriller.

Except Neeraj Kabi no one has performed up to mark not even Vidya Balan (fans its my views only).

Direction was this much bad that you would not recommend it to anyone.

Not a WORTH WATCH!!!

When you have a script ready of legends like Agatha christie all u need is a genuine approach to the plot,but seeking the inspiration the director try to play over smart with a new idea of shadowing the detective characters with cheap flash back and keeping multiple twist and turns towards the climax which spoils the plot... Seashore Castle,thunder storm,potential cast and crews sidelined by brilliant camera and some Crispy editing too are wasted efforts die to the oversmart approach of the director... And even after post credit the plot hints a sequel possibilty of another cat and mouse game which is not necessary either... Overall a onetime passable flick.

The production values of this film NEEYAT were extremely poor and so was the quality of the acting of the entire star cast includingVidya Balan and especially Rahul Bose. It was like watching a primary school play on a giant sized screen.

Ram Kapoor was an absolute misfit as his personality was absolutely zero and his acting was 1000 times worse than that. Vidya Balan was a faint shadow of her normal brilliant self. Rahul Bose's character was extremely weak and thus his acting was way. Over the top. Everything about this movie was substandard. Definitely not worth watching in the cinema!

4/10.
