And while [Raat Akeli Hai]...does have several engaging parts, it didn’t hold me as much as the first.

Honey Trehan crafts a mystery that intertwines crime and social commentary. Though uneven in pacing, the film deftly examines the intersection of entitlement and morality in society.

Raat Akeli Hai - The Bansal Murders is another thrilling entry to this series where Nawazuddin Siddique shines the brightest.

Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders does not possess the novelty or inward density of its predecessor, yet it functions as a self-contained chapter in the professional life of Jatil Yadav

Is Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders more than just a way for director Honey Trehan to pay the rent, or is it actually worthwhile?

While it starts sluggish and even a little dull, Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders quickly finds its stride, and by the end, it proves to be almost as good as the original.

The acting was good, but the story fell short. I was expecting more of a thriller. While the plot remained unpredictable until the very end, what actually happened wasn’t expected—and didn’t feel justified. They could have made the ending much better.

Less sharp than its predecessor. Still a decent whodunnit that also manages to ask a few pertinent socio-economic questions.

An interesting who-done-it follow-up, not a musical, and way too serious for it's sake, unnecessarily brutal and gory. Haven't they learned from Knives Out?

Starts slow but picks up great pace and stride. Great performances and a proper whodunnit feel to it. India needs more movies like this

Slow movie, the ending climax was actually really well done , Nawaz is back and I would love to see him in roles like this rather than roles like thamma and heropanti, gets boring in some parts though , could have been shorter, 7/10
