In this 2-hour 19-minute movie, killer is similar to Sonam Raghuvanshi, kills husband, climax will leave you in SHOCK; Film is…, lead actors are…
The whole nation has been shocked by the brutal killing of Indore businessman Raja Raghuwanshi during his honeymoon with wife Sonam Raghuvanshi in the hills of Meghalaya. The entire incident is nothing short of a crime series. As per reports, Sonam has been arrested along with her alleged lover, Raj Kushwaha, who has been accused by the Meghalaya police of orchestrating Raja's murder. With each emerging detail, the story is taking more twisted turns. The real story is similar to the reel story. A 2-hour 19-minute murder mystery crime thriller was released in 2023, where the heroine killed his husband with the help of his lover, just like the 'operation honeymoon'. The movie Jaane Jaan features Kareena Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Verma in lead roles, and the story is of a small place, Kalimpong, West Bengal, where Kareena runs a bakery and lives with her little daughter. Kareena lives separately from her husband. Her neighbour Naren is a brilliant mathematics teacher. He secretly loves Maya, i.e. Kareena. One day Kareena's husband, from whom she has been living away for years, comes home drunk. There is a fight between the two in which Kareena kills her husband. Then Naren helps to dispose of his body and also plots the cover-up step by step. Police inspector Karan Anand (played by Vijay Verma) solves the case with his charm and intelligence, but the climax will hit you hard. It's a well-structured screenplay. Writer and filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh attempted to fulfil the requirements by choosing the right cast. This Netflix thriller marked the digital debut of Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor. What happened with Raja Raghuvanshi? Sonam Raghuwanshi and Raja Raghuvanshi got married on May 11 and went for their honeymoon in Meghalaya just days later. On May 23, the couple went missing, prompting search operations for both of them. However, on June 2, Raja's body was recovered in a gorge near Weisawdong Falls in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya.

And netizens cannot stop reacting read more Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos' revelations in his interview with Nikhil Kamath have gone viral and now. He covered a range of topics, from Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane's 'Sacred Games' to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi'. And netizens cannot stop reacting. Some took to Instagram to comment on the post hailing the episode as one user wrote– 'Netflix didn't recommend this but this is the real must-watch.' One commented, 'I felt like this episode was with the most honest replies loved this also your questions are amazing' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Some netizens expressed appreciation in the episode's comment section on Youtube, 'watched the entire thing in a sitting. its been a good saturday, (youtube algorithm show me more content similar to this' A comment read, 'Should've titled 'Netflix and Chill with the Netflix CEO'. Another user wrote , 'Ted answered all the questions really well. Nikhil tried his best to trip him but he answered beautifully every time because he has good knowledge of both, himself and the business.' A user also said, 'Very good Podcast, Impressed with clarity of Co- CEO Ted on range of topics As always Nikhil was amazing ..' A comment read, 'Wow ! What an amazing set of questions and equally candid responses! He is naturally good and exhibits great clarity! Thanks Nikhil for this.' Ted on Sacred Games Our very first Indian original show was Sacred Games. And I thought, 'This is going to be great. People in India love movies. This is a TV show that feels as big as a movie, it has movie stars.' What's interesting about it is that it was very, very novel, but what I didn't understand was that we were introducing a brand new kind of entertainment in a country the size of India. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On Heeramandi Heeramandi was probably one of the most creatively interesting projects I've worked on in India. I was involved in the greenlighting meetings for it. He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) came to LA to do the pitch. He came in with this very big vision. Honestly, it almost felt like a dare—like he was saying, 'I dare you to make this; it's so big. He's a legend of cinema, so the idea of him making a TV Show was unheard of. I thought he came for us to say no. And then, when we said yes, there were lots of delays. It was a complicated production.
