Murderbaad Trailer: This Whodunit Asks Just One Question, ‘Where Is The Guest?'
Murderbaad boasts a star-studded cast, featuring new talents Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur, along with Sharib Hashmi, Manish Chaudhari and others.
The trailer for the upcoming romantic thriller Murderbaad was released on Monday, July 7. Directed by Arnab Chatterjee in his debut Hindi feature, the film takes viewers to the peaceful and vibrant city of Jaipur. The trailer begins with a driver, Maqsood, introducing a guide, Jayesh, who is fluent in English, to a tour company for a group of NRIs visiting Rajasthan.
But what starts as a simple story of a guest, Isabella, slowly falling in love with the tour guide, takes a sinister turn when one of the guests, Shaili, goes missing from a grand palace in Rajasthan. Soon, the police jump into action and question everyone, including the other guests and the owner of the tour company. While the trailer hints that the driver might be behind the guest's disappearance, the case gets more and more twisted with every revelation.
The simple missing case soon unravels a web of dark secrets and long-buried truths of human psychology. The trailer teases with a gripping line that goes, 'where love and death collide,' pointing out that every character in the film harbours a hidden motive.
Arnab Chatterjee discussed his first Hindi feature film, revealing that he started working on Murderbaad five years back while he was still in college. In a statement, he said, 'It's inspired by the romance and thrill I grew up watching, but I wanted to set that mood in a distinctly rooted setting. At its core, it's about the stories people bury to protect their identity. I'm grateful to have had such a talented cast and crew bring this vision to life."
Murderbaad boasts a star-studded cast, featuring new talents Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur, along with industry veterans Sharib Hashmi, Manish Chaudhari, Amole Gupte, Aanjjan Srivastav and Vibha Chhibber, among others.
Sharib, who plays the role of the driver Maqsood, shared that Arnab left no stone unturned in 'bringing together a complete mix of fresh and extremely experienced members in the team." Expressing his joy in working with him and the entire cast, he added, 'I've enjoyed every day on set. The film is very unique in its own way, both in terms of story as well as the way it got made, with a 24-year-old (at the time of shooting) director-producer being at the top of it. I pray for all the luck to our film, and wish Arnab all the success that he deserves in future."
Murderbaad is written and directed by Arnab Chatterjee, who also produced it under his banner, ACjee Entertainment. The romantic thriller is set to lock horns with YRF's Saiyaara on July 18.

Mahavatar Narsimha Day 2 India Box Office Hindi: Hombale's cinematic epic grows by a shocking 150 percent; Adds Rs 3.35 crore
Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar and produced by Hombale Films, after a super strong first day where it netted Rs 1.35 crore in Hindi, showed astronomical 140-150 percent growth on day 2. With Rs 3.25 - 3.45 crore net on day 2, the two day cume of the movie stands at Rs 4.70 crore. The movie has not just grown in Hindi but all the other languages that it is playing in, as well. The Day Wise Hindi Net Collections Of Mahavatar Narsimha Are As Under Mahavatar Narsimha Will Post Its Biggest Single Day Collections On 1st Sunday On Sunday, Mahavatar Narsimha is expected to register its biggest single day. Based on its trend, the day 3 collections may end up being higher than the sum of the first and the second day. The trend also suggests a sort of a breakout where Monday collections will be well higher than the opening day and also likely first Saturday. It's too early to confirm that the same will happen, but there sure are very visible indications to deduce the same. In today's day and age, if a film gets the approval of the audience, it trends spectacularly. We saw it last week with Saiyaara, which is putting up identical collections as its first weekend, in its second, and then there of course was Chhaava, which really showed the potential of a well-received religion-based historical epic. Mahavatar Narsimha Is Acting As A Living Proof That Animated Movies Can Work At The Box Office The biggest takeaway from Mahavatar Narsimha's run is the acceptance of the audience to watch animated content. Animated films are usually seen as films for children but this movie looks to break that myth. Hopefully, with the success of this movie, there will be an influx of more animated films. Hombale Films itself has a slate of 6 animated films from the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, that shall release in the next decade or so. Animated Films Should Get Mainstream Attention In India Hollywood's animated films have always got mainstream attention in their home markets, and now China's highest grossing film is also an animated film, Ne Zha 2. Japan has always had a bigger market for animes than the conventional films. It's about time that Indian audiences also jump on this bandwagon so that there can be more individual voices to tell stories using the animated mediun. One doesn't necessarily have to rely upon a hero, to make and sell their films. The story and the acceptance shall do the talking.
