A Bewitched Bride Enters a Household
Yami Gautam is poised for a surprising re‑entry onto the big screen with Naai Naveli. The freshly dropped trailer fuses intrigue, slapstick, magical realism and pulse‑pounding action, signalling a tonal shift from her previous projects.
The glimpse opens with a traditional Mumbai wedding ceremony, after which the freshly‑wed daughter‑in‑law steps into her husband’s home. Initially welcomed like any ordinary bride, the atmosphere cracks when a family member declares that the newcomer is not human but a witch.
While the claim is dismissed at first, the teaser quickly strings together a series of odd occurrences—mysterious powers, cryptic family banter, visual nods to Ravana, rapid‑fire stunt cuts—hinting at a deeper supernatural plot that leaves audiences itching to discover the truth behind the enigmatic Mohini.
Yami Gautam Becomes Mohini
Gautam embodies Mohini, a figure whose arrival upends the routine of a typical Meerut household. The story revolves around how this enigmatic bride rattles familiar dynamics, injecting both laughter and tension into everyday life. Compared with her earlier roles, Mohini is a more nuanced, off‑beat character, giving Gautam a fresh palette to showcase her versatility.
