Konkona Sen Sharma is back in uniform, leading The Naina Murder Case, a gripping new mystery-thriller series premiering on JioCinema (formerly Disney+ Hotstar) on October 10, 2025. The show marks her return to intense dramatic territory as she takes on the role of ACP Sanyukta Roy, a dedicated officer caught between her personal struggles and a haunting investigation.
Plot and Premise
The story begins with the brutal murder of a teenage girl that shakes an entire city. ACP Sanyukta Roy, on the verge of transferring departments and moving to another city to salvage her crumbling marriage, finds herself forced to stay back when the case turns out to be politically sensitive. A young politician’s name surfaces in connection to the murder, and what appears to be a straightforward crime soon spirals into a web of deceit, trauma, and buried secrets.
Sanyukta is paired with Jay Kanwal (played by Surya Sharma), a brash and overconfident young officer who clashes with her methodical approach. Their uneasy partnership becomes the emotional backbone of the show as they navigate through corruption, ambition, and emotional scars that blur the line between justice and obsession.
Creative Team and Inspirations
Directed by Rohan Sippy, The Naina Murder Case is the official Indian adaptation of the acclaimed Danish police procedural The Killing (2007). Sippy, known for his tight direction and strong character-driven storytelling, reimagines the Nordic noir classic within the Indian sociopolitical landscape—complete with media pressure, power games, and personal redemption arcs.
