Check out Vidya Balan in a completely different look in Neeyat

Vidya Balan showcased her outfit as a ‘not-so-classic’ detective from Anu Menon’s murder mystery shortly after releasing a teaser for her upcoming flick Neeyat. 

Vidya Balan’s unique look in Neeyat:

The actor can be seen with fringe, wearing a green shirt, a maroon jumper and a brown overcoat. She stands close to a mirror that reflects the suspects, likely a family of four and looks at them suspiciously.

A few features in Neeyat give it the old-world charm of an Agatha Christie murder mystery. To begin, Vidya and the suspects’ garments are layered and full of fir, which is an Agatha Christie characteristic. The surroundings, notably the wooden shelves with books in Vidya’s background, also contribute to the film’s Agatha Christie murder mystery mood.

Vidya Balan as a detective for the 2nd time:

Neeyat is not Vidya Balan’s first movie as a detective. Bobby Jasoos (2014), a film set in Hyderabad, in which she played a desi investigator, was a box office flop. However, we’ve seen Vidya investigate in a variety of roles, including Sujoy Ghosh’s 2012 cult film Kahaani, Ribhu Dasgupta’s Te3n (2014), and, most recently, Amit V Masurkar’s 2021 jungle thriller Sherni.

Neeyat will mark Vidya Balan’s long-awaited return to the big screen after four years. Her most recent theatrical release was Jagan Shakti’s sci-fi ensemble Mission Mangal in 2019. Her most recent solo theatrical appearance was in Suresh Triveni’s 2017 blockbuster Tumhari Sulu.

Vidya has only appeared in films that have premiered directly on Prime Video India since 2019, including Anu Menon’s Shakuntala Devi (2020), Sherni, and, most recently, Suresh Triveni’s Jalsa last year. Vidya will next be featured in Lovers, a romantic comedy starring Pratik Gandhi, Ileana D’Cruz, and Sendhil Ramamurthy.
