Over the years, melodramas and charming romance stories have become marginalized. And there has been an exponential rise in the popularity of the thriller genre, all thanks to OTT evolution! While the crime dramas have piqued audiences’ interest, the last-minute suspense has become an interesting cinematic element. And following the same, ZEE5 offers a variety of gripping thrillers for the audience. While some are slow-burn dramas, the others are character-driven tales. In a similar instance, ZEE5’s latest release Raat Baaki Hai offers a blend of an intriguing storyline and well-written characters.
While the actors have delivered some remarkable performances, writer Siddharth Mishra has crafted a clever murder mystery in Raat Baaki Hai. Featuring Annup Sonii, Dipannita Sharma, Rahul Dev, and Paoli Dam in the lead, Raat Baaki Hai is undoubtedly a great epitome for modern-age thrillers.

Mind-Bending Plot
Raat Baaki Hai has a well-produced script and the makers have not overlooked it. While many filmmakers consider the story as a secondary aspect, the makers of Raat Baaki Hai have primarily relied on its narrative. And that’s one of the reasons why the film leaves a lasting impression on the viewers. Weaving a perfect murder mystery with apt details is quite a task. And writer Siddharth Mishra has pulled it off in style.

Rahul Dev’s Ahlawat is a charming cop with a Rajasthani accent who steals the show with his bold personality.
