Somewhere in the middle, it goes off track, only to give out its biggest twist during the interval. The second half feels like an afterthought, as if the writers had a one-page idea note which they now had to expand into a full-length film.”</p>

Nayyi Navelli has an interesting premise and the perfect setup for a horror-comedy. Unfortunately, the screenplay offers very little comedy and very little horror. And whatever horror it does offer seems to be reserved for the makers, not the audience!

The first half is passable, with a few laughs, some intrigue and an interesting interval point. But the second half tests your patience, and by the time the film ends, you’re left wondering if the makers themselves realised what kind of film they were making.

Yami Gautam tries her best to bring life to Balaji Mohan’s film but even her sincere performance can’t save this mess. The music fails to impress, the BGM is ordinary, and the editing is just about okay.

Overall, A horror-comedy that offers neither enough horror nor enough comedy. The real horror story, unfortunately, is what ends up on screen!

#YamiGautam carries the entire film on her shoulders. She is equally good at comedy and intense scenes, making you laugh one moment and leaving you amazed the next. What a fantastic performance while the fascinating #Raavan connection and the #Dussehra backdrop elevates the impact .

Director #BalajiMohan brings the imaginative premise to life with conviction, while writers #HimanshuSharma and #DivyNidhiSharma deserve credit for their inventive storytelling. 

The humour keeps you engaged [ There are multiple hilarious scenes which will bring the house down ].  Climax of the film is the major highlight, it delivers a rousing mix of devotion, spectacle and action.

Overall Nayyi Navelli has a  refreshing concept that delivers ample entertainment, it should be enjoyed with entire family this durga puja weekend.

YAMI GAUTAM RULES THE SHOW IN THIS FANTASY ENTERTAINER

Aanand L. Rai brings an interesting concept to the big screen, blending mythology, comedy, family drama and action. What starts as a fun family entertainer gradually opens up into a much bigger story, with the Raavan connection adding an unexpected dimension. The interval and climax bring the narrative to another level.

YAMI GAUTAM IS THE SHOWSTOPPER! She is outstanding in a role that demands both comic timing and intensity. Anurag Thakur impresses as the suspicious brother-in-law, while Addinath M. Kothare provides good support. Writers Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma deserve credit for the imaginative storyline, while director Balaji Mohan executes the vision with conviction. The production quality and VFX are impressive, giving the film a grand feel.

The film does have a few shortcomings it could have been 15/20 mins shorter. However, these flaws don’t take away from the film’s entertainment value.

Overall - Nayyi Navelli is an interesting concept, a terrific Yami Gautam performance and an engaging mix of mythology and entertainment that makes Nayyi Navelli a worthwhile festive watch……

Producer #AanandLRai continues to back stories that dare to be different and dazzling. And #NayyiNavelli is a terrific addition to the list that boasts off sterling names like #Mukkabaaz and #Tumbbad. 

The concept is fresh &amp; unique, and all the actors pull off the madcap comedy with amazing abandon.

#YamiGautam delivers an exhilarating performance. Action, comedy, dance, swag and a touch of emotions... the gifted actor goes through the gamut with effortless eaee.

#AnuragThakur and #AddinathKothare will have more takers for their talent after their delightful performances. 

Director #BalajiMohan deserves credit for attempting a fantasy family entertainer that doesn’t feel saddled by stereotypes. 

The climax, in particular, leaves you completely spellbound. 

#GVPrakash’s score deserves kudos, particularly The World of Nayyi Navelli theme, which accentuates the film’s distinctive atmosphere.

On the whole, it's an enjoyable joyride... Families must hitch on to it during this #Dussehra season.</p>&mdash; Navneet Mundhra (@navneet_mundhra) <a href="https://x.com/navneet_mundhra/status/2111006822513684575?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 16, 2026</a></blockquote>

Yami Gautam tries hard, but she looks completely out of place trying to balance the horror and comedy tones. Her performance feels forced, and the character never becomes interesting enough to hold the film. Supporting cast mostly overacts, and the comedy track falls flat almost throughout.

The second half dumps heavy Ramayana and mythology elements that feel preachy rather than entertaining. At 2 hours 18 minutes, the runtime becomes a real problem. Direction is flat, VFX are average, and the film never finds a consistent tone.

Overall, Nayyi Navelli is a tedious watch that wastes a decent concept and a capable lead actress. Weak opening and poor word-of-mouth look inevitable.</p>&mdash; Vishwajit Patil (@_PatilVishwajit) <a href="https://x.com/_PatilVishwajit/status/2110995044870082747?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 16, 2026</a></blockquote>

Regardless of whether you are employed or a stay-at-home parent, every mother is unique and does everything possible for her child. No one holds more importance to a mother than her child. Regarding my profession, the manner in which I select my scripts is entirely separate from my personal life."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"While we may desire a time limit like in other professions, our industry operates differently. There are various factors, such as locations, permissions, and the involvement of other actors and technicians.

Some actors work only eight hours a day, five days a week, and avoid night shoots. This arrangement is agreed upon in advance by the director, producer, and actor. So why has it become a problem when a female actor raises this concern? Ultimately, we are all human beings creating art and expressing emotions under challenging conditions. Therefore, I see no issue in discussing time constraints if they align with the production's needs. If it works, they proceed; if not, they don't."</p><h2>About Yami Gautam’s new film Haq</h2><p>Haq is set to premiere in theatres this Friday (November 7). The Central Board of Film Certification in India, along with censor boards in the UAE, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, has approved the film without any cuts. It is produced by Junglee Pictures, in collaboration with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studio. The film features Vartika Singh, Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady in key roles.

Her scenes as the new bride, who is deeply in love with her man, to the middle-aged mother who fights tooth and nail to get what’s rightfully hers and her children’s are two different personas of the same person. But Gautam balances the two striking emotions well. Complementing her in every scene is Emraan Hashmi, a man who has really reinvented himself in the past few years, playing myriad characters.&nbsp;“ <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/haq-movie-review-yami-gautam-and-emraan-hashmi-are-terrific-in-this-court-room-drama-1762316692882">Read full review of Haq here</a></p>

Regardless of whether you are employed or a stay-at-home parent, every mother is unique and does everything possible for her child. No one holds more importance to a mother than her child. Regarding my profession, the manner in which I select my scripts is entirely separate from my personal life." "While we may desire a time limit like in other professions, our industry operates differently. There are various factors, such as locations, permissions, and the involvement of other actors and technicians. Therefore, the idea of a time limit is quite subjective and relies on the collaboration and understanding between an actor, a producer, and a director," she further explained. Also see: Haq: Emraan Hashmi-Yami Gautam starrer receives clearance from censor board Director Suparn Verma bats in support of Deepika Padukone Director Suparn Verma added on Yami's comments, stating, "This has been a longstanding issue. Some actors work only eight hours a day, five days a week, and avoid night shoots. This arrangement is agreed upon in advance by the director, producer, and actor. So why has it become a problem when a female actor raises this concern? Ultimately, we are all human beings creating art and expressing emotions under challenging conditions. Therefore, I see no issue in discussing time constraints if they align with the production's needs. If it works, they proceed; if not, they don't." About Yami Gautam’s new film Haq Haq is set to premiere in theatres this Friday (November 7). The Central Board of Film Certification in India, along with censor boards in the UAE, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, has approved the film without any cuts. It is produced by Junglee Pictures, in collaboration with Insomnia Films and Baweja Studio. The film features Vartika Singh, Sheeba Chaddha, Danish Hussain, and Aseem Hattangady in key roles. For those who may not know, the movie draws inspiration from the landmark Shah Bano case.

<p>Yami Gautam and filmmaker Suparn Verma are the latest celebrities to join in the debate around the demand for an 8-hour work shift on a film set. The debate started after Deepika Padukone walked out of Spirit after her demand for an 8-hour shift was denied by the makers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to the notice, the film “depicts, dramatises, and commercialises the private and personal life events of late Smt. Shah Bano Begum” without permission from her legal heirs.

The ruling sparked intense national debate, ultimately leading to the enactment of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yami Gautam plays the lead role of a Muslim woman fighting for justice, while Emraan Hashmi portrays her husband, Ahmad Khan.

Haq, starring Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi, has landed on legal trouble as Shah Bano’s daughter Siddiqua Begum has issued notice to the makers. 


Bollywood’s upcoming courtroom drama Haq, starring Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi, has hit a legal roadblock ahead of its release. The daughter of late Shah Bano Begum, whose landmark case reshaped India’s personal law debate, has reportedly sent a legal notice to the makers and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), alleging that the film uses Shah Bano’s life story without the family’s consent. The notice, issued by advocate Tousif Z Warsi on behalf of Shah Bano’s daughter Siddiqua Begum, has been addressed to Haq director Suparn S Varma, Junglee Pictures, Baweja Studios, and the CBFC. It demands an immediate halt to the movie’s release, promotion, and certification process. Also Read: Amitabh Bachchan Net Worth: How rich is he?
