A Bewitched Bride Enters a Household
Yami Gautam is poised for an unexpected return to cinema with Naai Naveli. The freshly dropped trailer stitches together thrills, laughs, magical elements and a burst of kinetic action, signalling a tone that veers far from her previous projects.
The teaser opens on a traditional Mumbai wedding, after which the newly‑wed steps into her husband’s home. Initially welcomed like any ordinary daughter‑in‑law, an astonishing accusation soon rattles the scene: a family member declares the newcomer is not human, but a witch.
While the claim is brushed aside at first, the trailer hints at a cascade of bizarre events that suggest hidden powers and ulterior motives. Playful family banter collides with eerie nods—Ravana‑inspired imagery, rapid‑fire action cuts, and whispers of the supernatural—leaving audiences keen to decode the mystery surrounding the enigmatic Mohini.
Yami Gautam Becomes Mohini
In the film, Gautam embodies Mohini, a figure whose arrival upends the ordinary rhythm of a Meerut household. The story revolves around how this mysterious bride disrupts familiar dynamics, injecting both humor and tension into everyday life. Compared with her earlier roles, Mohini offers a more layered, off‑beat persona, giving Gautam a fresh platform to showcase her versatility.
