Nayyi Navelli Trailer Out
Amazon MGM Studios and Colour Yellow released the Nayyi Navelli Trailer this week, giving audiences their first full look at the film ahead of its October 16 release, timed perfectly for Dussehra. Yami Gautam's new movie opens with her character, Mohini, arriving at the Awasthi family home in Meerut as the newly married bahu of the house.
At first, everything seems picture-perfect. Mohini cooks, wins the family over effortlessly, and seems to fit right into her new life. But the Nayyi Navelli Trailer takes a sharp turn when her brother-in-law, acting on quiet suspicion, asks her to show her feet so he can check whether her footprint lines up straight, a classic folk test tied to old beliefs about identifying a "daayan," or witch. That single moment sets off a chain of events that completely transforms the tone of the film.
Yami Gautam’s Nayyi Navelli Story?
Without giving too much away, the Nayyi Navelli Trailer confirms exactly what the brother-in-law feared, Mohini does reveal her true supernatural self to the family. From there, the film blends family drama, sharp comic timing, genuine mystery, and full-blown action, eventually building toward a twist that pushes the story into properly epic territory.
That mix is exactly what makes this such a distinctive entry among Yami Gautam's new movie releases. It's not playing things safe as a straightforward horror film or a simple family drama. Instead, it leans fully into being a fantasy horror-comedy, blending genuine scares with humour and heart in a way that's designed to appeal to the whole family over the festive season.
Nayyi Navelli Cast & Crew
This fantasy horror-comedy marks the first-ever collaboration between Amazon MGM Studios, Yami Gautam, and veteran producer Aanand L Rai. The film is directed by Tamil filmmaker Balaji Mohan, known for Maari, Maari 2, and the web series As I'm Suffering From Kadhal, and this marks his Hindi directorial debut. It's written by Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma, with music composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar.
Speaking about the film, Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of SVOD Originals at Prime Video India and Amazon MGM Studios, called Nayyi Navelli the perfect Dussehra watch, praising Yami Gautam's performance and the strength of the ensemble cast. He also highlighted how meaningful this first collaboration with Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma has been for the studio.
Yami Gautam's New Movie Continues a Strong Run
This isn't Yami Gautam's first brush with this kind of genre-bending role either. Her last appearance before this was a cameo in Dhurandhar The Revenge, directed by her husband Aditya Dhar, where her character shared the same name, Shazia Bano, as one she played in Haq.
With Nayyi Navelli, Yami Gautam's new movie pushes her further into fantasy horror-comedy territory, a genre she hasn't explored much before, making this a genuinely fresh addition to her filmography. The film's teaser released back on September 10, and the first song from the soundtrack, "Bhabhi Tabaahi," is already out and gaining attention.
When and Where to Watch
Nayyi Navelli releases in theatres across India on October 16, 2026, right in the middle of a packed Dussehra release window that also includes Drishyam The Conclusion and Jailer 2. That's some serious competition, but the fresh blend of genres on display in the Nayyi Navelli Trailer gives the film a solid shot at standing out from the crowd.
Between a mysterious bride, a family secret tangled up in old folklore, and a twist that promises to go properly epic, the Nayyi Navelli Trailer has set up what looks like one of the more original fantasy horror-comedy releases of the festive season, and Yami Gautam's new movie is already shaping up to be a strong Dussehra pick.
