Chitrangda uncovers patriarchy beneath Bansal mystery
Sometimes the real plot isn't the one in the script. Actress Chitrangda Singh said the heavy social themes in her film Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders only became clear to her once production started.

She explained that through shooting, the dialogues consistently underlined those ideas, revealing the layers in Trehan's approach. She believes this nuanced, multi-layered filmmaking, where each scene says more than one thing, is what sets the project apart from a standard murder mystery. The crime thriller is a sequel to the 2020 film Raat Akeli Hai...
