Manoj Bajpayee stars in Netflix crime thriller ‘Gajab Raat’

The suspense crime thriller ‘Gajab Raat’, directed by Ritesh Shah and produced by Neeraj Pandey, has been released on Netflix. Set over the course of a single night in Delhi, the film follows Ajay Nirvit, a corrupt Delhi Police sub-inspector played by Manoj Bajpayee, who prioritizes bribery and personal gain over justice.

The plot intensifies when a mysterious, injured woman falls from a vehicle, prompting various agencies—including the CBI and NIA—to intervene. As the investigation unfolds, it is revealed that the woman is a journalist named Arya who was attempting to expose a conspiracy involving the fraudulent importation of medical equipment.

The film features a cast including Divya Dutta, Nushrratt Bharuccha, and Kiku Sharda. While critics have noted the strength of Bajpayee’s performance and the film's exploration of systemic corruption, some reviews suggest the final act lacks the engagement established by the initial setup.
