Sujoy Ghosh directed the Hindi-language drama Jaane Jaan (English: “Dear Beloved”), also known as “Suspect X” in other countries. It is based on Keigo Higashino‘s 2005 book The Devotion of Suspect X and the South Korean movie Perfect Number, which came out in 2012. Kareena Kapoor Khan portrays Maya D’Souza, a single mother entangled in a murder case. 12th Street Entertainment, Northern Lights Films, Kross Pictures, and Balaji Motion Pictures produce the movie. Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma play important parts. When it came out on Netflix on September 21, 2023, the movie got a lot of praise, especially for the outstanding acting.

Plot Summary

 It takes place in the peaceful town of Kalimpong in northern India. Maya D’Souza is a single mother who runs a café with her teenage daughter Tara. Naren Vyas, her neighbor, is a shy, smart math teacher who has feelings for Maya but doesn’t say it.  Ajit, Maya’s violent husband, shows up and demands the money she stole years ago, which makes Naren’s quiet life difficult. For their own safety, Maya and Tara kill Ajit when he makes threats.

Naren steps in to help after hearing the noise. Naren removes the body and uses his analytical mind to plan a perfect cover-up. Inspector Karan Anand, who is Naren’s childhood friend, is in charge of looking into what happened to Ajit. Karan starts to doubt Naren, even though Maya has an alibi and there is no proof, because he isn’t acting like himself, and Maya’s employee is hinting that Naren likes her.

To protect Maya and Tara, Naren tells them he killed Ajit while pretending to be a crazy stalker. Maya experiences a deep sense of sorrow upon discovering that Naren’s actions stem from a past personal loss. He talks about how being with her gave him a new reason to live. In the end, Naren gets 25 years in jail and promises to solve another math problem while he’s there.
