How did Kareen Kapoor’s first OTT movie Jaane Jaan end?

Toward the end, the police thought they hit a jackpot when they stumbled upon a dead body. It seemed like the missing piece of the puzzle. It clearly gave away the date, time, and method. However, it turns out the body found was not Ajit’s but that of a homeless person.

It was Naren who lured this unsuspecting individual and replicated the method by which Maya killed Ajit. Naren concealed Ajit’s actual body while burning the other man’s remains, making it look like Ajit’s body. Additionally, Naren arranges for the homeless man’s death on May 10, altering the forensic timeline to favor Maya’s innocence. Karan remains oblivious to this ruse.

In a selfless act of sacrifice, Naren takes the blame for Maya’s crime. He concocts a story, claiming that he and Maya had a secret relationship and that she had asked him to kill Ajit. Naren even presents a fabricated narrative involving a hole in the wall between their apartments, implying that it was a means of communication.

When questioned, Maya vehemently denies any knowledge of this secret relationship, creating an image of Naren as an obsessed stalker who murdered Ajit out of jealousy. As a result, Naren is sentenced to 25 years in prison, while Maya walks away unscathed.

Why did Naren take all the blame in Jaane Jaan?

Naren’s infatuation with Maya becomes evident early in the film. He visits her at her workplace, practices their possible conversations in front of a mirror, and is deeply attached to her. However, it’s not just his feelings for Maya that drive Naren to accept responsibility for the crime.

He feels a profound debt to her because she saved his life. In a pivotal moment at the beginning of the movie, Maya’s unexpected knock on the door prevents Naren from committing suicide. The following act of kindness compels Naren to go to great lengths to protect her.

In the end, Jaane Jaan is a riveting tale of murder and an intricate admission of guilt, leaving viewers with countless interpretations and theories.
