Plot

[edit]

Radha (Amruta Subhash) travels with her daughter, Saie (Avanee Joshi), to her ancestral house in the village. There, Radha discovers an old doll, after which she begins to behave strangely. Even after returning home, her unusual behaviour continues. It is revealed that Radha has shown such symptoms since childhood and has long been under the care of psychiatrist Dr. Dhananjay Kulkarni (Kishor Kadam). She later seeks treatment from Dr. Rashmi Pandit (Jyoti Malshe).

Meanwhile, Saie starts playing with the same doll and claims that it speaks to her. The family's house help (Snehal Shidam) also senses something unsettling about it. Dr. Rashmi contacts Dr. Dhananjay after Radha recounts an incident from her childhood, leading to further revelations from Radha's husband Shekhar (Vikram Gaikwad), her parents (Rajan Bhise and Seema Deshmukh), and Dr. Kulkarni.

The backstory reveals that in her childhood, Radha believed she was the victim of black magic performed by a woman named Ganguti (Anita Date-Kelkar), who lived on the upper floor of their ancestral home. Though Radha's condition had temporarily improved, her episodes resurfaced after her marriage to Shekhar. It is also revealed that Saie is not Radha's biological daughter.

The narrative then explores whether Radha is ultimately cured of her recurring condition and what role the mysterious doll plays in her and Saie's lives.

Reception

Critical response

[edit]

Jarann received generally positive reviews for its performances, direction, and atmospheric tension, though some criticized its slow pacing and unclear ending. Amruta Subhash's portrayal of Radha was widely praised, with Scroll.in calling her "terrified, terrifying, and terrific," highlighting her ability to convey complex emotions.[9] Aarti Borade of TV9 Marathi wrote "The story of the film, though simple, is very deep while cinematography and background music make the film more terrifying, but the lack of VFX is annoying at some places."[10] Sameer Jawale of Loksatta praised performances by Amruta Subhash (Radha) and Anita Date (Ganguti), music, cinematography and a gripping climax with two surprising twists.[11]

Kalpeshraj Kubal of Maharashtra Times rated 3 stars out of 5 stars and describes Jarann as "a slow-starting film that accelerates into a gripping, psychologically complex horror experience. It uses subtle hints and metaphors, with a disjointed narrative and abrupt character exits, making it unconventional. Ideal for fans of psychoanalytic horror, it may not appeal to those expecting a typical horror movie."[12] Anupama Gunde of Pudhari rated 4 stars out of 5 stars and wrote "If the film had shed light on the motives and mindset of the character who practices black magic like Ganguti, this film would have been more gripping."[13]
