A mysterious new bride arrives in a Meerut household, and suddenly everything starts going right. Is she a blessing or a witch? That’s the hook behind *Nayyi Navelli*, and audiences have started turning up to find out.

## Nayyi Navelli: Opening Day

## A Better Start Than Haq

Rs 3 crore may not sound huge, but it’s a clear step up from *Haq*, which opened at Rs 1.75 crore. Trade trackers expect decent growth over the weekend, with a first-weekend total of about Rs 10 crore.

There’s a catch, though. Early word of mouth is mixed, and Pinkvilla flags that as a concern for the makers. The film is also sharing screens with big releases like *Jailer 2*, *Prahaar* and *Whalefall*. The real test will be how it holds on Monday.

## What’s the Story?

A troubled household sees its luck change after a mysterious bride joins the family. Her seemingly miraculous abilities bring peace and prosperity, but one family member is convinced she’s a supernatural witch. As strange events pile up, the film asks whether she’s an evil force or a protector caught in a bigger fight between good and evil.
