The new-age content on OTT has seen an exponential rise in strong and meaty female characters. While narratively compelling dramas have entertained the audience, the well-written characters in these stories have inspired them. Considering this, ZEE5 has been at the forefront when it comes to delivering noteworthy stories with some extraordinary characters. And its upcoming release Raat Baaki Hai has created a wave of excitement among the fans. While the film’s trailer has become the talk of the OTT world, fans couldn’t help but relate it to David Fincher’s epic thriller Gone Girl.
The uncanny similarities between Raat Baaki Hai and Gone Girl has intrigued the audience. Moreover, the fans of Gone Girl’s Amy Dunne (played by Rosamund Pike) are quite eager to watch the upcoming film. They are invested in drawing parallels between Raat Baaki Hai’s Vasuki (Paoli Dam) and Amy Dunne. These two characters are mysterious and play a vital part in the story.
So, here’s taking a look at few similarities between Amy and Vasuki that make them mirroring personas to each other.
An Obsessive Lover
Amy Dunne was a privileged young woman driven by childhood trauma. She eventually fell in love with Nick. And that romantic affair ultimately filled the void of her lonesomeness. While she started realizing her self-worth, her love towards Nick turned into an obsession. And Raat Baaki Hai’s Vasuki seems to be on the similar lines. Being an ex-lover to Kartik, Vasuki find herself deeply immersed in Kartik’s life.
When Kartik makes a return in her life, it comes as a much-needed opportunity for Vasuki. Based on the trailer, we can say that Vasuki is an obsessive lover alike Amy.
Mysteriously Genius
Gone Girl lives upon Amy’s mysteriously genius character. She weaves a top-notch plan to trap her husband Nick and makes him realize her worth. Though she’s immoral at times, we cannot overlook her perfect stratagems. And that’s something we might see Vasuki doing too. Her character will be an intriguing part of Raat Baaki Hai and she hides some dark secrets which become the crux of the story.
It would be interesting to see if Vasuki goes the Amy way or she has more devious plans than we could expect.
Rebellious Persona
Amy Dunne was more rebellious than any female movie character could ever get. Her character can neither be termed as a heroic one or a villainous one. And that’s what adds to the beauty of this fictional persona. In Raat Baaki Hai, Vasuki will have similar character traits. She’s married to an old rich man and lives in a mansion. However, reuniting with Kartik brings a new beginning to her life.
And this aspect of the story will introduce the viewers to the rebellious side of Vasuki. If you have loved Amy’s bold side, you’d definitely root for Raat Baaki Hai’s Vasuki.
Insecurities Of Love Life
Amy was very reserved when it came to her relationship with Nick. Apart from being an obsessive partner, Amy had her ways to keep Nick on toes. She was highly driven by the insecurities of her love life. Similarly, Vasuki’s character, though being an ex-lover, desires to have a control over Kartik’s life. Though nothing more about the story is revealed, we can believe that Vasuki might be a character who fuels the problems in Kartik’s life.
Talk Of The Town
After a series of tragic incidents, Amy becomes the talk of the town. While her husband Nick faces all the hatred, Amy garners love and sympathy from the people. Her gimmicks help her in accomplishing her cruel plans. We might expect the same shade in Vasuki’s character. She might be a troublemaker in Kartik’s life. But how? We’ll have to watch Raat Baaki Hai to get an in-depth insight.
Raat Baaki Hai will be streaming exclusively on ZEE5 from April 16, 2021.
