5 Interesting murder mysteries to watch on Netflix
1. Jaane Jaan (2023)
Adapted from Keigo Higashino’s novel The Devotion of Suspect X, Jaane Jaan features Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma in lead role. The Netflix film deals with a single murder entangled around ordinary lives in a web of deception. Much like Vadh, it prioritises emotional tension and character psychology over dramatic twists.
2. Ittefaq (2017)
Remaking a classic 1969 film, Ittefaq is a crime thriller featuring Sidharth Malhotra, Sonakshi Sinha, and Akshaye Khanna. The film is a one-night story with two sides of a crime, and its use of testimonies and ambiguity, as well as a sense of sharp interrogation, is reminiscent of crime investigation, which can also be a psychological thriller.
3. Raat Akeli Hai (2020)
Starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte, the film Raat Akeli Hai is a thriller combined with social commentary. Filmed in the context of an embedded social hierarchy dominated by a particular family, the film manages to shed light on the life within the context of a murder mystery, making it a must-watch for whodunit enthusiasts.
4. Khufiya (2023)
Khufiya, a thriller starring Tabu, Ali Fazal, and Wamiqa Gabbi, is a story centered on espionage and treason, all under the direction of filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj. Though on a larger scale, the narrative on trust, loyalty, and sacrifice draws a parallel on the same lines as Vadh that found a place in the audience’s hearts.
