Jay-Ho! Insight
Positioned at the intersection of logic and belief, Nikita Roy explores the psychological cost of superstition in a society divided between science and faith. Unlike conventional jump-scare-driven horror films, the movie leans heavily on atmosphere, character psychology, and emotional conflict.
The film follows Nikita Roy, a rational debunker of supernatural myths, whose worldview is shaken when her brother dies under mysterious circumstances. What begins as a personal quest for truth gradually descends into a disturbing maze of deception, grief, and unexplained phenomena.
The OTT release allows viewers to engage with the film’s layered narrative at their own pace, a format particularly suited to slow-burning mystery thrillers.
Public or Fan Reaction
Speaking about her character, Sonakshi Sinha said in an official statement,
“Nikita felt very real to me from the start. She’s dealing with loss, confusion, and unanswered questions, yet she keeps moving forward. What stayed with me was her quiet strength.”
She also expressed excitement about the OTT premiere, adding that JioHotstar offers the film a chance to connect with a broader audience.
Paresh Rawal, who plays Amar Dev, highlighted the understated nature of his role, stating that the character’s power comes from “presence and influence rather than aggression,” making it a refreshing departure from his earlier performances.
What’s Next?
With its digital release now live, Nikita Roy is expected to find renewed traction among thriller and horror enthusiasts on OTT. The film invites viewers to question whether rational thinking alone can protect one from forces that defy explanation.
Jay-Ho! will update this story as more details emerge.
