Explained simply
Nayyi Navelli is an Indian fantasy film built around a family household in Meerut, a city in northern India. Its central character is a new bride whose arrival helps ease tensions at home, until her brother-in-law suspects she may be a daayan, a word for a witch.
The film brings together Amazon MGM Studios and Colour Yellow, the production company founded by filmmaker Aanand L Rai. Yami Gautam Dhar stars, Balaji Mohan directs, and the story mixes family comedy with fantasy adventure. Dussehra is a major Hindu festival often marked by family gatherings, so films released around it can be aimed at holiday audiences.
