Sospechoso X

To begin with, I loved the casting for this movie. All three 3 are great fit for their part but Jaideep Ahlawat just shines a bit brighter. The story begins in a mellow, small town, following the same mood but picks up straightaway. Love the mood it sets and the world it tries to create. There's a good amount of thrill, if not absolute mystery, all along the way. The story keeps building and building to the big reveal, the final act, the 'Prestige' ....BUT, the climax just lets you down. Not that it's a failed climax. No, not at all. But you're just left wanting for a more shocking moment after such a long buildup. It is perfectly believable but not what the remaining 2 hours built up to. It lacked a level of shock and awe that was expected. It's a mixed feeling. Would have given the overall film a good 8, but the climax pull it down to a 6. Still a good watch.

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.

Now, this is the kind of film I'm sure many people like, and for a reason. Based on Keigo Higashino's novel The Devotion of Suspect X, it is directed by none other than Sujoy Ghosh, a man who sure knows his stuff, especially when it comes to directing mystery films of this sort. The story is well adapted into an Indian setting, and the choice of Kalimpong is very refreshing, providing a nice insight into the local influence of Nepali culture. Technically the film is excellent. The cinematography is very dark and dim, contributing to the atmosphere the director seeks to create. Jaane Jaan benefits from a tight script and solid pacing, and its twists and turns help the narrative. It first gave me some Drishyam (2015) vibes, as it seemed to have a similar plotline of two women dealing with a man intruding their lives and then finding a way to clamber out of the situation with the help of a sophisticated, strategic man who calculates every step and is always a few moves ahead. Sadly, towards the end, it did start to strain credulity, and considering the unusual premise of the story, I wished for an alternative, more satisfying conclusion than the one we ended up getting, which had no justification whatsoever.

Still, the film remained a captivating and engaging watch through and through, enough to make an impact even despite its rather disappointing ending. Above all, it managed to make the characters relatable and even likable, and that's why you might end up wishing for a different outcome. The three stars work well opposite one another to create a nice team. Jaideep Ahlawat infuses his part with the right amount of stoic awkwardness to successfully create a rather shady and questionable man. Film after film, Vijay Varma appears to make a name for himself as a solid actor who can always be counted on to deliver the goods. He is excellent. It's been a while since I saw Kareena do something as worthy as this film. I even felt sorry she didn't use the extraordinary opportunities available to actresses in India to promote her artistic career. And I'm so happy she picked this film. Here, she looks very much a real person - raw and authentic, and never a star. She intelligently uses her sex appeal to a quiet, more implicit effect, and even though she appears a little indifferent and conscious of the situation in some scenes, she puts in an impressive turn overall. I hope she keeps doing similar projects. Very nice film, overall.

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.

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.
