As long as everyone plays and has some fun”.

Search: The Naina Murder Case — India’s Finest Crime Drama This Year?

When Konkona Sen Sharma steps into the khaki uniform as ACP Sanyukta Das, you know this isn’t just another cop show. Created by Rohan Sippy, this six-part thriller, streaming now on JioCinema, dives headfirst into the murky depths of a high-profile teen murder, pulling in political conspiracies, personal vendettas, and a weary but relentless investigator haunted by her own past.

Loosely adapted from the acclaimed Danish series The Killing, this Indian iteration doesn’t merely replicate—it recontextualizes. The victim, Naina, isn’t just a plot device; she becomes a symbol of societal rot. With each suspect introduced, the narrative tightens its grip, drawing you deeper into a maze where truth and deception are indistinguishable.

Konkona anchors the series with a performance so nuanced it often compensates for the show’s weaker moments—particularly the mid-season lag and a finale that leaves more questions than answers. Still, the murmurings of a possible Season 2 are well-earned.

The brilliant Konkona Sen Sharma stars in ‘Search: The Naina Murder Case’ as ACP Sanyukta Das, a detective whose plan to save her marriage is derailed by one last, harrowing case. The murder of a teenage girl, Naina, forces her to confront dark secrets at every turn. The investigation becomes intensely personal as the case intertwines with her own struggles, testing her resilience to its breaking point. Will solving the mystery cost her everything? The gripping search begins October 10, exclusively on JioHotstar

Verdict: If you crave tightly-wound whodunits with a soul, Search: The Naina Murder Case is a compelling slow-burner with a powerful female lead at its heart.
