About the film
‘Nikita Roy’ explores the fragile line between logic and faith. Sonakshi Sinha plays Nikita, a sharp-minded woman who challenges myths and exposes superstition. Her life takes a dramatic turn when her brother dies under mysterious circumstances.Driven by grief and unanswered questions, Nikita begins to investigate, only to encounter a series of strange and unsettling incidents. Each revelation puts her rational beliefs to the test. The film builds tension gradually, favouring atmosphere over spectacle, and keeps viewers guessing while confronting the fear of the unknown.After its theatrical release last year, Nikita Roy is now streaming on JioHotstar, opening the film to a wider audience.
What Sonakshi Sinha and Paresh Rawal said
Speaking to News18, Sonakshi Sinha shared, “Nikita felt very real to me from the start. She’s dealing with loss, confusion and a lot of unanswered questions, yet she keeps moving forward. What stayed with me was her quiet strength—the kind that doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful. Kussh’s direction gave me the space to explore those silences and emotions honestly. I’m thrilled about the film’s premiere on JioHotstar, which offers an incredible opportunity to connect with a much broader audience.”Paresh Rawal added, “I was drawn to how understated the character of Amar Dev is. It is very different from the roles I’ve portrayed in the past. He doesn’t raise his voice or announce his power; it comes through influence and presence. Playing someone who controls a room without obvious aggression was very interesting for me. I feel a film like this benefits from being watched on JioHotstar, where audiences can really settle in and absorb the details.”
