Thank you for the immense love you have shown for the film so far, but you'll have to wait a little longer, and we promise you, the 18th of July will be worth the wait! See you in the theaters," the statement read.

Smart move by the makers! June is too crowded with releases. July 18 gives Nikita Roy better breathing space. Sonakshi looks intense in the trailer - hope the film delivers! 🤞

Uff, another delay! I was so excited to watch this weekend. But I understand the reason - better to get proper screens than compete with 5 other films. The trailer gave me chills!

Bollywood needs more horror films that aren't just jump scares. Hope Nikita Roy brings something fresh to the table. The cast looks promising - Sonakshi, Paresh Rawal and Arjun Rampal is an interesting combo!

Honestly, I'm tired of these last-minute postponements. Either plan properly or stick to your dates! Theatres will always be crowded in India, that's no excuse. Hope the film is worth the wait.

July 18 is perfect - right before the long weekend! Smart strategy. The trailer looks promising, but I hope the story holds up. Indian horror films often have great concepts but weak execution.

Sonakshi is underrated as an actress. She was brilliant in Akira and Lootera. Hope this film gives her the recognition she deserves! The supernatural genre suits her intense screen presence. 🎥✨
