The murder mystery follows Vidya Balan's character, detective Mira Rao, who is forced by the situation at hand to become an unlikely detective, investigating a mystery-filled murder at a billionaire's party.
It begins with Ram Kapoor's character of billionaire, Ashish Kapoor, organising a gathering at his castle in Scotland. As the celebrations go on in full swing, Ashish jumps off from the cliff leaving everyone flabbergasted. Enters Vidya Balan, a detective, Mira Rao who breaks the news to Kapoor's guests that this one is not a suicide but a murder.
The trailer reminds of the Daniel Craig-starrer 'Knives Out' with a dysfunctional family and their web of secrets acting as the central themes.
Speaking about her experience of working in 'Neeyat' and returning to the big screen, Vidya Balan said, "What I enjoy most about being an actor is the opportunity to live the life of a different person with every character I play. In Neeyat, Detective Mira Rao is not your everyday, classic detective which is what made it great fun for me".
The film is directed and co-written by Anu Menon, who last collaborated with Vidya Balan in 2020 directorial 'Shakuntala Devi', based on the life and times of the lady known as the human-computer.
"Not only did I get a chance to sink my teeth into an unusual and quirky character but I also got to work with a powerful set of co-actors. This film is my second outing with Anu after 'Shakuntala Devi'. I have had the most amazing time working with them to make this film. Last but not the least, I'm supremely delighted to be back in theatres with the release of Neeyat and am waiting with bated breath for audience reactions," the actress added.
Anu Menon has also directed multiple episodes of the internationally acclaimed series 'Killing Eve'.
'Neeyat' will release in theatres on July 7.
