Bollywood News: Yami Gautam is all set to enter a completely different cinematic world with Nayyi Navelli. The trailer of the upcoming fantasy family entertainer has now been released, giving audiences a closer look at Yami's mysterious character and the unusual family at the centre of the story. Set in Meerut, the film combines family drama, comedy, mystery, fantasy and action.
The film is being presented by Amazon MGM Studios in association with Aanand L Rai's Colour Yellow production. Nayyi Navelli is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on October 16, 2026, during the Dussehra weekend.
Yami Gautam Plays A Mysterious New Bride
In Nayyi Navelli, Yami Gautam plays Mohini, a newly married woman who enters a lively and chaotic household. At first, she appears to be the perfect bride who brings happiness and harmony to the family.
However, the situation takes a strange turn when her brother-in-law starts suspecting that Mohini may not be what she appears to be.
The central question of the trailer is simple but intriguing: Is the new bhabhi actually a daayan?
The makers had already teased this mystery through the film's promotional material, with the phrase “Bhabhi Daayan Hai” becoming a major part of the film's campaign.
A Meerut Family At The Centre Of The Story
The film is set against the backdrop of Meerut and revolves around an Indian family whose everyday dynamics become increasingly unusual after the arrival of Mohini.
The trailer begins with familiar family situations, including wedding rituals, household interactions and comic exchanges. But beneath the humour is a growing mystery surrounding the new bride.
Mohini's presence gradually changes the atmosphere of the house, while the family's suspicions push the story into fantasy territory.
The setup gives Nayyi Navelli a distinctly desi family-entertainer flavour while introducing supernatural elements into the narrative.
Comedy, Mystery, Fantasy And Action Come Together
Rather than being a straightforward horror film, Nayyi Navelli appears to blend several genres.
The teaser previously described the film as a combination of the madness of Tanu Weds Manu Returns and the mystery of Tumbbad. The newly released trailer continues that approach by mixing family comedy with suspense, fantasy and action.
This unusual combination is also reflected in Yami's character. Mohini is presented as both charming and mysterious, leaving the audience guessing about her real identity.
The film's promotional material suggests that the “daayan” mystery is only the beginning and that the story will expand into a much larger adventure.
Aanand L Rai And Himanshu Sharma Back The Film
Nayyi Navelli marks a collaboration between Amazon MGM Studios and Colour Yellow. The film is produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma.
The story has been written by Himanshu Sharma, while Divy Nidhi Sharma has handled the screenplay and dialogues. Balaji Mohan, known for his work in Tamil cinema, is directing the project.
Speaking earlier about the project, Aanand L Rai described the story as one that surprises audiences at every turn. He also said Yami was an instinctive choice for the character because of the warmth and mischief she could bring to the role.
GV Prakash Kumar Composes The Music
The music of Nayyi Navelli has been composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, adding another notable name to the creative team.
The film has already generated attention through its first song, “Bhabhi Tabaahi,” which features Yami Gautam in a high-energy dance performance. The song combines elements of Bhangra, rap and hip-hop and has added to the film's festive promotional campaign.
The technical team includes cinematographer Rishi Punjabi, editor Sumeet Kotian and action director Mahesh Mathew.
Yami Gautam Returns With A Completely Different Role
The project arrives after a strong phase in Yami Gautam's career and gives her an opportunity to explore a character far removed from conventional dramatic roles.
Her Mohini appears to be designed around mystery and unpredictability, allowing the actress to combine comedy, drama and action within the same film.
The release also comes after Yami's National Film Award recognition for Article 370, making Nayyi Navelli an important theatrical follow-up for the actress.
When Will Nayyi Navelli Release?
Nayyi Navelli will release in theatres on October 16, 2026. The date places the film in the Dussehra period, when family audiences traditionally turn out for festive theatrical releases.
With Yami Gautam in a mysterious avatar, a Meerut-based family setting and a story involving a possible daayan, the film is positioning itself as a different kind of festive entertainer.
The trailer leaves one major question unanswered: Is Mohini really a supernatural threat, or is there something else hidden behind the family's suspicions?
Audiences will get the answer when Nayyi Navelli reaches cinemas on October 16.
