Gajab Raat (2026)

Gajab Raat Story: What the Film Is About

Gajab Raat (original title: ग़ज़ब रात) is a Hindi crime thriller set over a single night that refuses to go to plan. At its centre is Ajay Dixit, played by Manoj Bajpayee. He is a policeman who has long stopped playing by the rules, and he carries his share of personal baggage along with his compromised badge.

The trouble begins with a choice he never wanted to make. He comes across a young girl who has been hurt, and against his own instincts he decides to help her. That one act of kindness opens a door to something far more dangerous than his usual shady dealings. As the hours pass, Ajay finds himself pulled into a tangle of criminal interests where every move seems to tighten the net around him.

The premise sets up a tense, ticking-clock story about guilt, survival and whether a man used to bending the law can still do the right thing. Nushrratt Bharuccha appears as Rosie. The details of how the night unfolds are best discovered on screen.

Why Gajab Raat Stands Out Among New Movies

• Manoj Bajpayee in the lead: One of Hindi cinema’s most respected performers takes on the role of Ajay Dixit, a morally grey cop at the heart of the story.
• Ensemble cast: Nushrratt Bharuccha plays Rosie. The cast also includes Saqib Saleem, Divya Dutta, Kiku Sharda, Shraddha Das, Rajiv Gupta and Akshay Oberoi.
• Behind the camera: Ritesh Shah directs and co-wrote the screenplay with Neeraj Pandey. Friday Storytellers produced the film.
• Genre and format: It is an Indian thriller-crime drama in Hindi, with some English dialogue. The runtime is 123 minutes (about 2 hours 3 minutes).
• Certification: The India listing carries a U/A 16+ certificate.
