Desi Joaquin Phoenix! Internet Sees Shades Of Joker In Jaideep Ahlawat's Role In 'Jaane Jaan'
Jaane Jaan is based in Kalimpong and is the official adaptation of the bestselling novel Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino.
Jaane Jaan, a recent OTT release, has received mixed reviews from viewers. The lovely Kareena Kapoor has received appreciation for choosing a different role for her OTT debut. As usual, Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat received a ton of support from their admirers for their wonderful work but the latter stole the show fair and square.
When Jaideep's appearance was first disclosed, people were incredibly curious. The internet went crazy and gushed about how this appearance is arguably one of his best till date.

What was Jaideep's role about?
Kareena Kapoor, a single mother who works hard to provide for her daughter, received constant support from math teacher Jaideep. He helped her in covering up a murder and then accepted full responsibility.
Fans are discussing how much his demeanor and appearance mirror those of Joaquin Phoenix from Joker now that they have seen the movie.
One wrote, ¡°Jaideep Ahlawat reminded me of Joaquin Phoenix from Joker. His look, his mannerisms mainly. All the cast is good. Now I understand why Director Sujoy Gosh told this is more like a love story movie rathar than thiller for him. Absolutely fanstastic movie.¡±
A second added, ¡°#JaaneJaan: Can Sriram Raghavan Raghavan please make a film loosely based on Joaquin Phoenix's Joker casting @JaideepAhlawat in the lead? I'll empty all the 954 bucks remaining in my hollow bank account. Jaideep: You're a gem! *bowing down in respect for you*.¡±
A third wrote, ¡°Strictly, Jaideep Ahlawat steals the show. Vijay Varma clowns around well as a cop. KK is a far third. Overall, it promises a lot, but the movie falls short.¡±
A fourth wrote, ¡°The entire time I was watching Jaane Jaan on Netflix I couldn't help but compare it to Drishyam, and it completely fell short in front of the latter.While the new release is an official adaptation, Drishyam never credited Keigo Higashino for his work.¡±

Jaideep & Sriram will be a dream pair.

Joker or no Joker.
Just you two come together and serve us the experience.
It will be mind blowing. ??
Jaideep Ahlawat as the high school maths teacher was the standout act for me.

That one scene of him crying by the door and another with Kareena at the far end of the movie were my favourites.
Think I saw a shade of Joker in his Teacher.
Vijay Verma was cute and Kareena was +
Why do you want an Indian Joker adaptation. Sriram Raghavan is making Merry Christmas with Vijay Sethupathi. That's more than enough. No doubt, Jaideep Sir is great at his craft. We need to respect our own Indian Cinema, not take expectations. Hope Sriram works with Jaideep ?

I thought the story was quite predictable as well... not much of an 'OMG' moment for a thriller... Jaideep was too good... Kareena was ok... Vijay Verma was quite underutilised....

#JaaneJaan belongs to Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma only.

Kareena Kapoor has used both the legendary actors of OTT as crutches for her OTT debut.
Jaane Jaan is based in Kalimpong and is the official adaptation of the bestselling novel Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino.
Talking about the film, director Sujoy Ghosh earlier said, ¡°Jaane jaan is based on the book which has been the love of my life for a long long time. From the day I read Devotion of Suspect X, I wanted to adapt it into a film. It was the most amazing love story I had ever read and today thanks to Kareena, Jaideep and Vijay that story is alive on screen. We all worked very hard to tell this story and hopefully the audience will love it as much as we do.¡±
