Jaane Jaan (2023)
Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, this film is a true mind-bender 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 introverted neighbor 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!!
The screenplay is crisp and 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!!
