The trailer for Manoj Bajpayee’s upcoming Netflix thriller is out — and so is the new title. Ghooskhor Pandat is no more. The film is now Gajab Raat, a name that sounds like it belongs on a late-night horror special, not a high-stakes drama with legal headaches. The change comes after months of controversy: an FIR was filed, a Delhi High Court petition followed, and all promotional material vanished from social media.
Now, Netflix has dropped the trailer with a cryptic tease: “Anek kahaaniya, anek kirdaar aur sirf ek raat to disclose the truth.” Only one night. Many stories. One truth. That’s the hook.
And it’s already working. The trailer doesn’t show much, just shadows, shifting faces, a locked room, and Bajpayee’s eyes, sharp as a blade in the dark. But it’s enough. He’s back in a role that demands moral ambiguity, and he’s surrounded by a cast that includes Divya Dutta, Akshay Oberoi, Saqib Salim, and Nushrratt Bharuccha.
