Yami Gautam Dhar’s fantasy family film “Nayyi Navelli” releases its official teaser, presenting a whimsical story centered on a bride whose background sparks suspicion. Multiple outlets describe the teaser as introducing a mystery-laden character and a mix of family drama with supernatural elements.
The teaser reactions discussed online focus heavily on Yami Gautam’s new look and the film’s genre promise. Free Press Journal highlights social media praise that links “Nayyi Navelli” to “Tumbbad,” framing it as a possible horror-comedy blend, while Times of India emphasizes the concept of a mysterious bride and the film’s fantasy approach. Both outlets report the same core premise: a picture-perfect bride appears to bring peace to a chaotic household in Meerut, but a brother-in-law suspects she may be a “daayan” (witch).
Both sources also align on the release timing. “Nayyi Navelli” is scheduled to hit theaters on October 16, 2026, during the Dussehra weekend. The film is directed by Balaji Mohan and produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma’s Colour Yellow Productions, in collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios.
