Arjun Das has built a quiet reputation for playing men who carry more than they let on, and John Doe seems made for that. Madhumita’s new Tamil psychological crime thriller opened in theatres on November 12 and 13, and it begins with a case no one wants: an eight-year-old boy found dead near the Kerala–Tamil Nadu border.
Arjun plays Sub-inspector Chandru, a cop who is chasing a killer and his own demons at the same time. Trauma follows him around, and self-doubt rides along. Standing opposite him is Inspector Rao, played by Sanchana Natarajan, who brings the kind of steady confidence that makes a shaky colleague look even shakier. That pairing alone is worth the ticket.
The case doesn’t stay small, either. One dead child turns into something far uglier when the trail points to a serial murder pattern involving 17 other missing children in a Tamil Nadu town. Heavy stuff, clearly, and the film appears to treat it that way.
More About John Doe
John Doe is directed by Madhumita Sundararaman, and the script comes from Nicolas Chevaillier, Madhumita herself, and Vijay Poomalai. Alongside Arjun and Sanchana, you’ll spot Zaara Vineet, Anupama Kumar, Badava Gopi and Srishti Singh in the cast.
So, can you watch it from your couch yet? Not just yet. The film is currently running only in theatres, and the makers haven’t announced an OTT platform or a digital release date. Until that happens, the big screen is your only option.
