Neeyat

Review: Neeyat, directed by Anu Menon, is a Hindi film streaming on Amazon Prime Vedeo, an inspiration from Agatha Christie mysteries and Rian Johnson's Knives Out movie.

Elements of this movie is Mystery suspense & drama.

Anu Menon tried to make this film for mass appeal, with Vidya Balan in the lead role, supported by talented actors Ram Kapoor, Neeraj Kabi, Rahul Bose, Shefali Shah in a cameo role , Shasank Arora, Nikki Walia & Prajakta Koli a popular YouTuber. Despite all capable actors, reinvention of the mystery in a gathering genre, is not so impactful. It should have been delivered with more brilliance.

Niyat is not a well-crafted movie. Vidya Balan fails to make her impact, rather Rahul Bose steals the shows. Resembling Ram Kapoor as a Vijay Mallya is good.

Location is something awesome with beautiful Camera work.

On the whole, despite too many loopholes this Film engaged you throughout. Theme song is well composed with good lyrics.

My rating is 2.5 out of 5.

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!!!

Extremely bad copy of Knives Out. The film starts with bad acting all across and ends with bad acting. Even Rahul Bose acted so bad, it was a big surprise. Its really bad. Its so bad you will feel like crying once it ends. Vidya Balan tries to keep it afloat but alas she was not able to save it alone. I dont how an actor like Vidya Balan agreed to do such movie with such a bad cast. Every cast just tried too hard in this movie but every one of them fell flat on their face. At the end, Vidya suddenly became this superdetective, even better than Sherlock Homes. This movie had high expectations but it dissappointed so bad.

This is as bad as anything I've ever seen. Horrid characters, production design and writing. Why did Vidiya agree to doing this garbage? Who's funding this garbage and why?

What a terrible mix of characters, the narrator is literally reading out who they are without any effort being put into establishing them. The casting is one of the worst I've ever seen.

If knifes out had a bad hangover after drinking desi daru this would be it.

I really hope someone at Amazon puts in more effort on the content instead of this garbage.

Watch it at your own risk and keep some alcohol nearby because it's going to be needed.

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.
