Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan was honoured with the critics Best Actress Award at the
Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2024
for her hard-hitting performance in Jaane Jaan.
Undoubtedly Kareena Kapoor Khan is one of the most exceptional actresses in Indian cinema, with a spectacular repertoire of outstanding films.
She is just not recognised for her alluring talent but also celebrated for being Indian actress to reckon with.
The characters she has emoted are some of the most memorable in popular culture. Geet from ‘Jab We Met’ is one of the most quoted and beloved Indian female characters in the last two decades. Credit goes to her upbeat and electrifying portrayals. The actress has also been lauded for her forays into films such as Chameli and Talaash that has left an indebile mark on critics.
Kareena’s recent performance in Sujoy Ghosh’s Jaane Jaan reminds audiences precisely why she is a bonafide star.
The psychological thriller is steeped in mystery and begins when a body is found in Kalimpong. As an adaptation of Keigo Higashino’s famous novel The Devotion of Suspect X, the film brilliantly weaves a web of enigma leaving the audiences reeling. Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Varma have also been heaped with praises for their portrayal of a retiring math teacher and Mumbai detective respectively.
Notedly, Kareena excels as Maya D’Souza in Jaane Jaan as a single mother and former nightclub dancer who has escaped what the past holds for her. Having moved to Kalimpong following an abusive marriage, Maya is now focused on raising her daughter and manning a quiet cafe nestled in the cloudy hill station.
That is, until her past haunts her. The film takes the audience on a journey from that point onward, and keeps them hooked via Kareena’s stunning presence. It was just for this, the actress was felicitated at Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2024.
The celebratory evening was lit-up by the presence of the stunning actress, who delivered a wonderful acceptance speech.
Receiving the award for Critics Best Actress, Kareena expressed her gratitude to DPIFF for recognizing a special film that marked her venture into the OTT world.
She also expressed gratitude to Netflix, director Sujoy Ghosh, her costars, and those who backed the film amidst the pandemic.
For Kareena, Jaane Jaan was her OTT debut for Kareena for which she gracefully thanked Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards and the father of Indian cinema for being the torchbearer of cinematic brilliance.
Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2024 turned out to be the glorious culmination of creative endeavours with Cinematic Evolution as the theme.
