5 movies and shows of Jaideep Ahlawat that are must-watches: 

1. Bard of Blood

As a devoted fan, I found myself captivated by the 2019 Netflix series Bard of Blood, where Jaideep Ahlawat brilliantly brought to life the character of Tanveer Shehzad – a senior operative within Pakistan’s intelligence services, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), who was heavily immersed in Taliban operations.

In the role of the main adversary, I’m assigned to chase down Kabir Anand, a former RAW agent who embarks on a clandestine operation within the region of Balochistan, with the goal of rescuing Indian agents held captive.

2. Maharaj

2024 finds me utterly captivated by the gripping historical drama, “Maharaj,” masterfully directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra. As an admirer turned observer, I can’t help but be enthralled by Jaideep Ahlawat’s riveting portrayal of Jadunath Maharaj, a figure both revered and morally complex – a leader whose actions continue to intrigue me, long after the final credits roll.

The movie is based on the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862 and tells the story of a brave newcomer journalist, played by Junaid Khan, who stands up against the questionable behavior of a powerful individual, exposing their unethical practices.

3. Jaane Jaan 

2023’s thrilling mystery film “Jaane Jaan,” helmed by Sujoy Ghosh, features a captivating acting turn from Jaideep Ahlawat as Naren Vyas, a solitary mathematics instructor living in Kalimpong. The story unfolds around Maya D’Souza, played by Kareena Kapoor Khan, a lone mother who unintentionally finds herself embroiled in a murder case.

In a surprising turn of events, Ahlawat’s persona, Naren, lends a helping hand to Maya and her child, guiding them through the intricate challenges they face in their difficult situation.

4. Three of Us 

In the 2022 Hindi film “Three of Us,” directed by Avinash Arun, Jaideep Ahlawat gives a moving portrayal of Pradeep Kamat, who was once in love with Shailaja Desai, played by Shefali Shah.

This version aims to simplify the original sentence and make it more conversational while maintaining its meaning.

In this movie, we delve into the intricacies of love, recollection, and mourning, following Shailaja, who has been diagnosed with early dementia, as she sets out on a trip to recall her history.

5. The Broken News
