Yami Gautam's Nayyi Navelli trailer out

Yami Gautam is walking into a Meerut household as the perfect new bahu (bride), but there’s clearly more to her character Mohini than meets the eye. The trailer of Nayyi Navelli is out, and what starts as a familiar family drama soon takes a dark, fantastical turn.

Mohini arrives in the Awasthi family as a picture-perfect bride. She wins everyone over almost instantly, but her presence also raises a few eyebrows. Before long, the household’s everyday wedding chaos gives way to whispers



of witches, demons and something called ‘Raavan Raj’.

The trailer marks a striking change of mood for Gautam, who appears to be playing a daayan at the heart of the mystery. There’s plenty of humour in the mix too, as the film moves between family squabbles and supernatural mayhem.

One of the trailer’s biggest clues comes through Gautam’s voiceover. “In the Treta Yuga, a demon gave everything to gain his power – you must have heard the name,” she says.
