Anuradha Menon's gripping, edge-of-the seat whodunit Neeyat, starring Vidya Balan in the lead, is going to hit our screens tomorrow, but recently, a special screening of the thriller was held for industry friends. Amongst them, Anil Kapoor gave a huge shout-out to the movie calling it a cinematic brilliance. Taking to his IG stories, he wrote, "Just witnessed the cinematic brilliance of Neeyat tonight. A standing ovation to the outstanding team behind it!!!"
He went on to tag several members of the massive “talented cast” and added, “You have created a masterpiece that will leave a lasting impression.”
Earlier, director Anuradha Menon told ETimes that she is a huge fan of the thriller genre. She said, "I personally love the thriller-whodunit genre and have watched almost all movies related to that, including Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, Knives Out and Gosford Park that came out while I was in film school. Vis à vis Neeyat, while it was firmly established that I wanted to make a movie on this genre, I also had to make sure that my story conveyed a message and is based around a rock-solid plot, with well-etched out characters. So, that was the nascent plan that I then built from ground up."
Neeyat also stars Ram Kapoor, Rahul Bose, Shahana Goswami, Neeraj Kabi, Amrita Puri, Shashank Arora, Niki Walia, Dipannita Sharma, Mita Vashisht and Prajakta Koli.
