They often serve as critiques of society and reminders of the negative consequences of poor mental health. Although these situations very much exist in the actual world, the characters in these films experience events that are remarkably different from reality. These on-screen scenarios can provide just the right amount of tension and creeping highs if they are handled well.
Here are the top Hindi mystery thrillers available on OTT platforms:
Talaash
Inspector Surjan Singh Shekhawat, played by Amir Khan, is sent to the scene after a famous actor has a terrible accident, and he serves as the protagonist of the plot. The police officer struggles to give the case his full focus because of the recent death of his 8-year-old child, which led to disputes with his wife.
Nonetheless, inquiries are made, and Surjan finds a money trail linking the late actor to other participants, including an escort named Rosie. Mumbai’s underworld eventually reveals a surprise that no one expected as the accident’s mystery becomes more complex.
Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video
No Smoking
The 2007 thriller “No Smoking” will keep you up at night. It was directed by Anurag Kashyap, a well-known director known for showing the dark and terrible sides of life. The movie’s primary character is K, a chain smoker who seeks a guru’s help in order to quit.
John Abraham perfectly portrays K. The events that follow will help K realize how expensive it would be for him to give up his addiction. Ayesha Takia, Paresh Rawal, Ranvir Shorey, and Kiku Sharda all play important roles in the movie.
