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 🙂!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
