In a month packed with newcomers, massive expectations, and big studio hype, one film is quietly building its own fanbase—Murderbaad. And guess what? It’s winning hearts one show at a time. Starting week 2, cinemas in Chandigarh, Hyderabad, and a few more pockets have added new shows for the film. Yeah, it’s that kind of sleeper hit.
While the buzz has mostly been around Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara, Arnab Chatterjee’s debut thriller isn’t backing down. It might’ve started slow, but it’s growing steady—thanks to that good ol’ formula: word of mouth and repeat audiences.
“We Made It With Heart,” Says Arnab Chatterjee
You can feel when a film is made with soul—and Murderbaad is one of those. Speaking about the response, director Arnab Chatterjee said,
“We made Murderbaad with passion and a lot of heart. The fact that audiences are discovering the film and talking about it beyond the first weekend is the biggest reward for me as a debut director.”
That’s the kind of honesty we live for at Jay-Ho!
Let’s be real: when you’re a newcomer and your film drops right next to a studio-backed release like Saiyaara, you don’t expect fireworks. But Murderbaad is lighting up in its own way—and audiences are noticing.
Jaipur Vibes, Tense Twists, and Rising Love
Set against the beautifully chaotic backdrop of Jaipur, Murderbaad is a thriller that leans more on its mood, tension, and character-driven plot. It stars Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur, who deliver performances that aren’t flashy—but they stay with you.
Trade analysts are calling it a “surprise of the season.” Occupancies have reportedly jumped from the first weekend, with some screens even adding late-night shows due to solid feedback and rising demand.
This is the kind of growth you love to see—no flashy marketing blitz, no gimmicks, just a film doing what it came to do: tell a solid story.
Murderbaad vs Saiyaara: It’s Not a Fight, It’s a Flex
Let’s not pit the two films against each other. Saiyaara had the advantage of a massive release and the return of classic romance in Bollywood. But Murderbaad? It’s doing numbers quietly. One trade analyst summed it up perfectly:
“This is how a sleeper hit builds.”
No shade, just truth.
And while Saiyaara continues to dominate the charts, Murderbaad’s steady climb proves there’s room for fresh voices and smaller films—if they’ve got heart.
Murderbaad Is Finding Its People
If you’re tired of formulaic thrillers or over-marketed studio films, give Murderbaad a shot. It’s not just a film—it’s a passion project that’s being discovered show by show, city by city.
And honestly, isn’t that what cinema’s all about?
So if you’re in Chandigarh, Hyderabad, or even just scrolling BookMyShow wondering what to watch this weekend, now you know:
