Directed by Sujoy Ghosh, Netflix's Jaan has an ensemble cast of Vijay Verma, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat.
Based on Japanese mystery writer, Keigo Higashino’s novel ‘The Devotion Of Suspect X’, Jaane Jaan is based in Kalimpong and keeps its focus on single mother, Maya D'souza (Kareena Kapoor Khan) who tries to cover up the murder of her ex-husband with the help of her neighbour/ local teacher, Naren Vyas (Jaideep Ahlawat) who's not-so-secretly in love with her. Investigating this case is Karan Anand (Vijay Varma) who seemed to win the hearts of the Janta with his portrayal of a funny but focused cop who has the hots for the prime suspect of this hot case aka Maya D'souza.
While some of the Janta found similarities between this murder mystery and Drishyam, most quite liked the character development and specifically Jaideep Ahlawat's character arc. As predictable as they found Jaane Jaan, the cast managed to make this a film worth watching.

Here's what the Janta had to say about this one!
When a genius gets over obsessed, the sinister is born. It's exactly where character writing, direction and acting peaked. One of the most calculated, constructed and planned psyche i've seen so far. Hands down, Jaideep Ahlawat Sahb! Take a bow 🙇 ❤️

Jaane Jaan Review: The film delivers loose ends with a boring climax and exaggerated scenes which are not required. The only shining saviour of the film is the on fleek acting of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Vijay Varma. #JaaneJaanOnNetflix #KareenaKapoorKhan #VijayVarma

#JaaneJaanOnNetflix is a very engaging, gripping film. Plot is like drishyam but presented in a very unique way. Brilliant Cinematography and a well crafted mystery thriller. @JaideepAhlawat what an actor man, mind blowing performance. 🔥

The payoff part was good too#JaideepAhlawat's dominated #KareenaKapoorKhan with his nerdy & cunning performance. It's kinda scary#JaaneJaan #JaaneJaanReview #JaaneJaanOnNetflix #SuspectX #KareenaKapoor @NetflixIndia pic.twitter.com/Xn5AuWHswj
Just finished watching #JaaneJaan on @NetflixIndia and it's a decent murder mystery thriller movie with good climax twists and turns. Both #KareenaKapoor and @MrVijayVarma delivers excellent performances but totally it's a @JaideepAhlawat show 💥👌#JaaneJaanReview = 3.5/5 stars pic.twitter.com/NgmUv15zSS

#JaaneJaanReview : GRIPPING ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½ #SujoyGhosh narrates a “seen before” plot, yet manages to keep you hooked on to it throughout. #JaideepAhlawat ‘s character portrayal is TERRIFIC👏 . #VijayVarma is flawless as ever & #KareenaKapoorKhan fits in well with her character. pic.twitter.com/Bg2KexkUCD

Jaideep Ahlawat as' Naren' the teacher who is a loner , introvert guy and a maths Genius is so damn good 💥. Kalimpong 's natural beauty & thriller genre deadly combo + great recce by the makers . It's never easy to dwindle between two extreme arcs . #JaaneJaanReview #JaaneJaan pic.twitter.com/lMsueU0Q03

The movie should be named as Teacher! #KareenaKapoorKhan has uttered the word 'Teacher' is obnoxiously irritating!
