The Devotion of Suspect X

Story starts on a bad note (for that u need to watch it) as a audience I was like maybe Naren the teacher had a bad phase, but then the story makes a little bit curve. In few minutes u are going to make a little spicy story in ur head suddenly tudum villain came into the storyline. From now on full on planning and masala will entertain you . From my PoV the after the half part it is little bit slow but the story and grip needs that slowness. Also the kudos to the actors and the director who made this movie. A good a movie to watch if u want to do exercise for ur brain 😙 Xd , Kidding ! But it is a good a watch. And the salute to Jaideep ahlawat.

Impressive. Unexpected plot twists. Excellent use of colors and cast.

Portrays the intensity of one-sided love and that too from an eccentric academic. A dark experience.

Naaru brought back memories of a guy from my school days who had an equally eccentric way of expressing his feelings, just like the character in the movie. It's not about judging but noticing the resemblance.

While the movie had a strong presence, the ending left me wanting a bigger revelation. Perhaps my anticipation for more depth in this film, beyond a short-story format, influenced my slightly underwhelming experience.

This film will be remembered more for the performances delivered by the actors than every other thing combined. All of them were phenomenal; especially Jaideep Ahlawat.

Sujoy Ghosh has done a good job in direction. He has directed all his departments pretty well. He kept everything tight and that keeps us glued to our seats; something rare these days.

Why 6 stars though and not 9-10?

Anton Chekhov, 19th century writer, advised the following once: "If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there."

Vijay played his character brilliantly. A lot was expected out of his character 'Karan'. If only he had solved a few puzzles in the end, found the missing, and matched the brilliance of the great mathematician for once then perhaps....

A outstanding film to watch though.

Jaideep Ahlawat delivers an exceptional performance, intricately portraying subtle nuances like his character's realization of Maya's (Kareena) true feelings, reflected in his expressions throughout. When Jaideep interacts with the students, it brings a delightful touch of joy. Coupled with a captivating storyline, this movie is an absolute must-watch.

Kareena blends seamlessly into her role, becoming just another face in the crowd, while Vijay's performance leaves a lasting impression. The director ensures there's no excess of songs, which is highly commendable.

This movie is a must-see if you're seeking a compelling storyline combined with powerful acting.

It is a prime example of a tastefully decorated ship smoothly covering all its due course, only to sink helplessly right before penetrating the premises of the destined harbour. It is a Story that did everything right and ticked every box only to underwhelm at the onset of its climactic segment!

Finales are highly critical for any film, let alone for a murder mystery feature because it is that particular juncture where threads get loose, revelations crop up on the surface, and even a single mistake could jeopardise the whole situation. I am afraid that was exactly what transpired in this case!

Mr. Ghosh, what the heck happened to you? This is the same person who made films like Kahaani, Badla, Bob Biswas, some of my absolute favourites. Where was that Sujoy Ghosh I knew and adored? I expected much better from him.

P. S. Regardless of the writing and its drawbacks, the performances were impressive. Bebo, Jaideep and Vijay, all three, had done great, as was expected from them.
