by Yami Gautam Dhar is all set to enter a completely new cinematic world with Nayyi Navelli, an upcoming fantasy family entertainer that blends humour, mystery, folklore, supernatural elements and larger-than-life action.
The much-awaited trailer of Nayyi Navelli has now been unveiled, giving audiences a deeper glimpse into the strange and hilarious world surrounding Yami Gautam’s character, Mohini. The story begins with Mohini arriving as a seemingly perfect new daughter-in-law in a chaotic family in Meerut. But what appears to be a dream bahu soon becomes the centre of a bizarre mystery when her brother-in-law suspects that she may actually be a Daayan.
The trailer takes the film beyond a simple family comedy, introducing supernatural mystery, Indian folklore and a much bigger threat connected to a modern-day Ravana. Yami’s character appears to have a mysterious connection with the supernatural, while the film promises a colourful mix of family chaos, comedy, fantasy and action.
Directed by Balaji Mohan, Nayyi Navelli is written by Himanshu Sharma and Divy Nidhi Sharma and produced by Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma under Colour Yellow Productions in association with Amazon MGM Studios. The film features Addinath M. Kothare, Anurag Thakur, Sunita Rajwar, Mita Vasisth, Aaditya Kulshreshth, Susmita Mukherjee and Prateek Pachori alongside Yami Gautam. Music for the film is composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar.
With its unusual premise, quirky family dynamics and supernatural twist, Nayyi Navelli appears to be targeting audiences looking for a festive entertainer with a distinctly Indian flavour.
Release Date
Nayyi Navelli is scheduled to arrive in cinemas across India on October 16, 2026, just ahead of the Dussehra celebrations.
Watch the Trailer
The newly released trailer teases a strange question that is already becoming the film’s biggest hook:
Is Mohini really the perfect bahu… or is the “Bhabhi Daayan Hai” suspicion hiding something much bigger?
With Yami Gautam in a fresh avatar and a story combining family comedy, fantasy, folklore, supernatural mystery and action, Nayyi Navelli is shaping up as one of the more unusual Hindi releases of the Dussehra season.
