Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Jaane Jaan is trending on Netflix’s global charts. The Sujoy Ghosh film also stars Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat.
Sujoy Ghosh’s Netflix film Jaane Jaan, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma in the lead, has received an overwhelming response on the global streaming scene, becoming the top non-English language film on the platform. The Hindi-language film has garnered 8.1 million views and secured a spot in the Top 10 list in 52 countries, as per WION report. Meanwhile, the actress expressed her happiness about the film’s global success. Kareena Kapoor Khan, in her debut on Netflix, plays the role of Maya D’Souza. The actress took to her Instagram and stated, “You all are, my Jaane Jaans”.
“My OTT [streaming] debut with Netflix and working on a film like Jaane Jaan has been so rewarding. The reactions, messages from fans and audiences around the world have strengthened my belief that good stories can go everywhere,” the actress wrote earlier.
Jaane Jaan is an Indian adaptation of Japanese author Higashino Keigo’s bestselling novel – The Devotion of Suspect X. The novel was published in 2005. The story revolves around a single mother and her daughter who commit a crime and receive assistance from a neighbour in concealing it amidst a police investigation.
Sujoy Ghosh, who directed the film, was drawn to the novel’s underlying love story despite its thriller genre reputation. Ghosh, known for his work in the thriller genre, has earned praise for his meticulous approach to storytelling.
The Devotion of Suspect X is part of Higashino’s Detective Galileo series of novels, and Ghosh is open to adapting more of them for the Indian audience if Netflix is interested. As the film continues to gain acclaim, Ghosh and his team are savouring the sense of accomplishment it brings to the world of Indian cinema.
