Gajab Raat sets an October 23 Netflix premiere
The film reunites Manoj Bajpayee and producer Neeraj Pandey, with Ritesh Shah directing.
The announcement
Netflix's October 14 announcement gives Gajab Raat an October 23, 2026, premiere and introduces its trailer. Manoj Bajpayee leads the suspense film, directed by Ritesh Shah and produced by Neeraj Pandey's Friday Film Works.
The plot follows a police officer facing a choice between self-interest and his sense of duty during one night. The announced cast also includes Saqib Saleem, Divya Dutta, Akshay Oberoi, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Kiku Sharda.
What this means
The premiere falls nine days after the announcement. The release does not give shooting locations, a production start or a wrap date, so those details remain undisclosed. Its one-night setting describes the fictional story, not the length of the film's shoot.
