Manoj Bajpayee is back with another gripping role in Gajab Raat, a tense Hindi crime thriller that keeps its story locked into one unpredictable night. Directed by Ritesh Shah and backed by Neeraj Pandey, the film follows a corrupt cop whose hunger for quick money pulls him into a dangerous mess.
Bajpayee plays Ajay, a Sub-Inspector who is used to bending rules and finding opportunities in chaos. His routine changes when he is assigned a case involving an injured girl thrown out of a moving vehicle. What begins as another high-profile assignment slowly turns into a web of crime, pressure and moral conflict.
The film’s biggest strength is its premise: one night, one cop and a series of choices that can change everything. Ajay initially sees the case as a chance to make money, but the deeper he goes, the harder it becomes to look away. His conscience becomes as much a part of the story as the investigation itself.

Earlier known as Ghooskhor Pandit, the film was renamed Gajab Raat before its release. The new title fits the mood well, hinting at a night that is anything but ordinary for the people caught in its grip.
