Vidya Balan will be making a comeback to the big screens after four years with the edge-of-the-seat thriller, Neeyat. Her last theatrical release was the 2019 drama, Mission Mangal alongside Akshay Kumar. Now, ahead of Neeyat’s theatrical release on July 7, a special screening of the movie was recently held in Mumbai. The screening was attended by many bigwigs from the industry, including actor Anil Kapoor. After witnessing the suspense drama, Anil Kapoor shared his review of the flick on social media. He was all praise for the film and called it a “masterpiece.”
Anil Kapoor took to the Stories section on Instagram and dropped a poster of Neeyat, and said that the entire team deserves a standing ovation for making such a movie.
Anil Kapoor captioned the post, “Just witnessed the cinematic brilliance of Neeyat tonight. A standing ovation to the outstanding team behind it!!! @balanvidya always a pleasure to watch you on screen. A standing ovation to the outstanding team behind it, including @balanvidya Anu Menon and Abundantia Entertainment. You have created a masterpiece that will leave a lasting impression.”
Prior to this, the director of Neeyat, Anu Menon also opened up about the film's comparisons with the 2019 Hollywood drama, Knives Out, saying “I hadn't expected these comparisons with Knives Out or otherwise. We shot the film in June and ‘Knives Out’ came in December in India, so unless I stole the script from them like a year back, this cannot happen. I find it very amusing when people make these comparisons. I mean ‘Glass Onions’ came to India in December and we were done shooting for the film in June itself. So, there is no way I can copy.”
