Murderbaad Trailer: This Whodunit Asks Just One Question, ‘Where Is The Guest?'
Murderbaad boasts a star-studded cast, featuring new talents Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur, along with Sharib Hashmi, Manish Chaudhari and others.
The trailer for the upcoming romantic thriller Murderbaad was released on Monday, July 7. Directed by Arnab Chatterjee in his debut Hindi feature, the film takes viewers to the peaceful and vibrant city of Jaipur. The trailer begins with a driver, Maqsood, introducing a guide, Jayesh, who is fluent in English, to a tour company for a group of NRIs visiting Rajasthan.
But what starts as a simple story of a guest, Isabella, slowly falling in love with the tour guide, takes a sinister turn when one of the guests, Shaili, goes missing from a grand palace in Rajasthan. Soon, the police jump into action and question everyone, including the other guests and the owner of the tour company. While the trailer hints that the driver might be behind the guest's disappearance, the case gets more and more twisted with every revelation.
The simple missing case soon unravels a web of dark secrets and long-buried truths of human psychology. The trailer teases with a gripping line that goes, 'where love and death collide,' pointing out that every character in the film harbours a hidden motive.
Arnab Chatterjee discussed his first Hindi feature film, revealing that he started working on Murderbaad five years back while he was still in college. In a statement, he said, 'It's inspired by the romance and thrill I grew up watching, but I wanted to set that mood in a distinctly rooted setting. At its core, it's about the stories people bury to protect their identity. I'm grateful to have had such a talented cast and crew bring this vision to life."
Murderbaad boasts a star-studded cast, featuring new talents Nakul Roshan Sahdev and Kanikka Kapur, along with industry veterans Sharib Hashmi, Manish Chaudhari, Amole Gupte, Aanjjan Srivastav and Vibha Chhibber, among others.
Sharib, who plays the role of the driver Maqsood, shared that Arnab left no stone unturned in 'bringing together a complete mix of fresh and extremely experienced members in the team." Expressing his joy in working with him and the entire cast, he added, 'I've enjoyed every day on set. The film is very unique in its own way, both in terms of story as well as the way it got made, with a 24-year-old (at the time of shooting) director-producer being at the top of it. I pray for all the luck to our film, and wish Arnab all the success that he deserves in future."
Murderbaad is written and directed by Arnab Chatterjee, who also produced it under his banner, ACjee Entertainment. The romantic thriller is set to lock horns with YRF's Saiyaara on July 18.

'Stop villainizing Bengaluru...': Viral video shows what happens when you speak Hindi instead of Kannada in Bangalore, internet can't keep calm
Bengaluru, India's tech hub, grapples with linguistic harmony. A video by Deesha Umesh highlights biases faced by Hindi speakers. The satire sparks debate about language, identity, and acceptance. Deesha, a Gujarati doctor raised in Bengaluru, uses humor to address cultural sensitivities. Public reactions are divided, reflecting the complexities of migration and respect. The video encourages dialogue in the diverse city. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Who Is Deesha Umesh? Reactions from the Public: Divided but Thoughtful Bengaluru, often dubbed India's tech capital, is more than a hub of innovation and start-ups. It's also a melting pot of cultures, where people from every corner of the country come together to live, work, and build new lives. But beneath this vibrant blend lies a sensitive, long-running discussion around language, identity, and a city where both Kannada and Hindi speakers coexist in large numbers, the question of linguistic harmony, and sometimes tension, remains part of everyday life. And now, a playful yet pointed video has brought this topic right back into the video in question, shared on Reddit and Instagram, is titled 'What North Indians Think Bangaloreans Do Every Day.' Created by content creator Deesha Umesh, it uses humour to explore the subtle biases that language can invite in a culturally diverse city like the video, Deesha plays an over-the-top version of a local Bengalurean who seems unusually hostile towards anyone speaking in Hindi. For instance, she acts friendly and helpful when addressed in Kannada, but flips to rude and dismissive the moment someone switches to Hindi. One scene has her offering mangoes at Rs 50, only to charge Rs 500 when a Hindi-speaking customer approaches. In another moment, she coldly ignores a request for directions in Hindi, but warmly embraces someone who apologises in Kannada after bumping into clearly exaggerated for effect, the sketch ends with a strong message: language often becomes more than just a way to communicate, it can shape how people treat one the woman behind this viral satire isn't a native Kannada speaker herself. Deesha Umesh is a Gujarati-born doctor, raised entirely in Bengaluru, who has now turned into a full-time content creator. Known for her fluent Kannada and down-to-earth content, she has amassed a following of over 230,000 people on Instagram. Her viral video has already racked up more than 380,000 likes across platforms, drawing applause for both its wit and cultural comment sections under the post became a space for reflection. Some users resonated deeply with the message, sharing personal experiences. One said, 'Many Hindi-speaking people born in Bengaluru still avoid learning the local language.' Others argued the portrayal was too extreme, insisting they had never faced such behaviour. A few even called it out as an overblown narrative, while others shared unsettling stories of being excluded or ignored for speaking in wide range of responses proves one thing: this conversation is far from its core, the video touches on the emotional layers of migration, belonging, and respect. Bengaluru has always been welcoming, but like any rapidly growing city, it has had to reckon with the challenges that come with diversity, especially when it comes to language. While humour can't fix deep-seated issues, it often helps open doors for more honest people from across India continue to make Bengaluru their home, one thing remains clear: understanding, respect, and a few words in the local language can go a long from TOI
