Search: The Naina Murder Case Review – Konkona Sensharma Shines in Crime Thriller

Search: The Naina Murder Case, streaming on JioHotstar, follows ACP Sanyukta Roy (Konkona Sensharma) as she investigates the brutal murder of a teenage girl named Naina. While attempting to balance work and family, Roy navigates a complex web of political power, corruption, and human vulnerability.


Konkona Sensharma’s Stellar Performance

Konkona delivers a nuanced portrayal of a senior officer balancing professional and personal pressures. Her performance as a compassionate yet no-nonsense cop anchors the series, making her character one of the most well-written female roles in Indian crime dramas.


Engaging Story with Familiar Tropes

Director Rohan Sippy keeps the series grounded, maintaining consistent pacing and character-driven storytelling. While the series explores timely themes like gender crimes and abuse of power, certain narrative elements—such as a politician being implicated—feel repetitive, limiting the freshness of the plot.

Supporting Cast: Surya Sharma as ACP Jai Kanwal delivers a solid performance, evolving beyond his initial one-dimensional portrayal. Shiva Pandit, Shraddha Das, Iravati Harshe, Govind Namdeo, Madhurima Ghosh, and others provide sincere, compelling performances.


Verdict

While Search: The Naina Murder Case occasionally dips into predictable tropes, it remains a human-focused crime thriller worth watching for its performances and emotional depth. Konkona Sensharma once again proves her range and talent, making the series a valuable watch for cinephiles interested in character-driven narratives.
