Her deep investigation into ghosts and Satan takes her to a religious cult run by Amardev, Paresh Rawal, who is involved in some strange ritual that offers him untrue powers, which he uses to manipulate the crowds into wrong beliefs.

Well, only in theatres.

The Brother and Sister Duo
This project is the directorial debut for Kussh S Sinha, son of popular classic Bollywood actor Shatrughan S Sinha. It’s mentioned that he always envisioned her sister Sona, a seasoned actor, as his protagonist, but their previous collaborations didn’t work. Until now, a strong, independent female investigator, Nikitha Roy, explores psychological and mysticism themes. Originally, the standalone film was introduced to release on May 30, which was later postponed to a new date in June, & no sequel has been announced yet.
Camerawork, Music, and Visuals
The film Nikitha Roy was mainly shot in European locations like Watford, Hertfordshire, and London in the UK. So it might give vibes like Kareena Kapoor’s “The Buckingham Murders” mending with paranormal concepts. The music and background tunes are composed by Abhinav Shekar, and the cinematography is by Anshul Chobey, good crew!!
