The horror genre is slowly seeing more female-led stories in Bollywood, and that’s something fans are definitely excited about. After the success of Stree, actresses are now exploring the supernatural space more often. Kajol will be seen in the upcoming horror drama Maa, while Sonakshi Sinha is ready to scare audiences in Nikita Roy. The official trailer of Nikita Roy has just been released, and here’s a detailed review of what to expect.
Nikita Roy Trailer Review
The trailer opens with a common question asked in most horror films – Do you believe in ghosts? We then see Sonakshi Sinha’s character experiencing eerie and strange events around her. She seems determined to find the truth behind these happenings, even if it means going against the influential spiritual leader Baba Amar Dev, played by veteran actor Paresh Rawal.
From the trailer, Nikita Roy is being marketed as a supernatural thriller. However, it seems to lean more towards the psychological thriller category. There are mysterious moments and spooky scenes, but nothing that truly sends chills down your spine. While Sonakshi Sinha, Paresh Rawal, and Arjun Rampal look convincing in their roles, the dialogues and the overall script didn’t make a lasting impact – at least not in the trailer.
The background music does a fair job of creating a horror vibe, but it’s not something that sticks with you after the trailer ends. There’s potential in the story, but whether it delivers a thrilling experience remains to be seen.
Nikita Roy vs Maa – Big Box Office Clash Ahead
Nikita Roy is set to hit theatres on June 27, 2025, the same day as Maa, which stars Kajol. Interestingly, Maa is connected to Ajay Devgn’s hit horror film Shaitaan and is being called its spiritual sequel. The trailer for Maa has already received a lot of love from audiences and is currently the most anticipated Indian movie on IMDb.
Comparing the two trailers, Maa seems to have the upper hand when it comes to creating tension and building interest. Kajol’s powerful performance and the spooky visuals have made it a film to look out for. While Nikita Roy has potential, it might need strong word of mouth and positive reviews after release to truly shine at the box office.
