Well are you a sucker for good old murder mystery thrillers? Then I'll highly recommend this movie to you Great performances by the 3 main leads Especially Jaideep ahlawat Dude just stole the show with his acting here Also you may find a major similarity with Drishyam1 No no its not copied from Drishyam1 technically Because the novel this movie is based on i.e "the devotion of suspect X"Drishyam 1's storyline was losely based on this novel only So here one similarity you'll naturally find in this movie with Drishyam But overall the characters bring nice originality and suspense Will keep you hooked on from start.
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.
Film Review: Jaane Jaan streaming on Netflix
Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, this film is a true mindbender with its brilliantly executed twists and turns!!
A mother (Kareena Kapoor) with a murky past is hiding from an abusive husband in Kalimpong when her past catches up with her. She accidentally kills her husband and is in a dilemma about what needs to be done! Her introvert neighbour Naren ( Jaideep Ahlawat), a nerdy yet brilliant mathematician who secretly loves Kareena agrees to help her out and that's when the cat and mouse game with the police begins !! Vijay Verma plays a sharp, handsome & suave Mumbai cop who is coincidentally in Kalimpong in search of Kareena's husband who is wanted in another case !! Who will prevail in the end, the nerd or the cop is what this film is all about!!
All three lead actors -Kareena , Vijay Varma & Jaideep Ahlawat are brilliant in their respective roles , especially Ahlawat with his make-up, quirky mannerisms and calm demeanor in the most stressful of situations!! The guy seems to be getting better by the day!!
Screenplay is crisp and is engaging from the first scene itself. Brilliant direction by Sujoy Ghosh coupled with great Cinematography depicting the dull and gloomy landscape of Kalimpong is also worth a mention!!
A mind bender in the true sense!! Must watch for true aficionados of this genre!!
Going with 3.5 ⭐⭐⭐✨ for this one.. adios 🙂!!

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.

Did you know
- TriviaThis adaptation of the Japanese novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" by Keigo Higashino has been planned for nearly a decade. Produced by Ekta Kapoor and directed by Sujoy Ghosh, it would have starred Saif Ali Khan (Kareena Kapoor's real-life husband), Aishwarya Rai (replaced by Jacqueline Fernandez, then by Kangana Ranaut), and Fawad Khan. It was shelved in 2014 as it was deemed too similar to the Malayalam film Drishyam (2013) and the in-production Hindi remake Drishyam (2015). Production restarted in 2022 with Kareena Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Vijay Verma.
