/* ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ OUT-OF-CATALOG ARRIVALS (the /new/ surfaces only) OOC titles are auto-ingested and not yet hand-reviewed, so they stay out of fv_build_index() and off every browse page — that index is what /all/, the archives and the homepage rows all read, and every pick there is curator-vouched. "New on" is a different claim: it says a title landed on a service, not that we vouch for it. So the /new/ pages and the homepage's New shelf pull OOC arrivals from here and merge them in, and nothing else sees them. Entries are shaped like fv_build_index() entries so the callers need no special case beyond the merge. Cached for an hour; bump the key to force a rebuild. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ */ function agmtw_ooc_arrivals( $geo = 'US' ) { static $memo = []; $map = [ 'US' => 'usa', 'CA' => 'canada', 'GB' => 'uk' ]; if ( ! isset( $map[ $geo ] ) ) $geo = 'US'; if ( isset( $memo[ $geo ] ) ) return $memo[ $geo ]; $key = 'agmtw_ooc_arrivals_v1_' . strtolower( $geo ); $cached = get_transient( $key ); if ( is_array( $cached ) ) return $memo[ $geo ] = $cached; global $wpdb; $prefix = $map[ $geo ]; $cutoff = time() - ( 90 * DAY_IN_SECONDS ); // 1) Arrival stamps first: only OOC titles that actually landed somewhere // recently are worth loading at all. $rows = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT m.post_id, m.meta_key, m.meta_value FROM {$wpdb->postmeta} m JOIN {$wpdb->posts} p ON p.ID = m.post_id WHERE p.post_status = 'outofcatalog' AND p.post_type IN ('post','shows') AND m.meta_key LIKE %s AND m.meta_value REGEXP '^[0-9]+$' AND CAST( m.meta_value AS UNSIGNED ) >= %d", $prefix .

Jaane Jaan 2023

A Hindi thriller that keeps the suspense of Japanese novel

Our Take (by Isabella Endrinal)

Jaane Jaan is one of those thrillers where you hope that the main characters would get away with murder. Based on the 2005 Japanese novel, the Hindi adaptation still has the cat-and-mouse dynamic between the relentless detective and math genius protecting the suspect, along with their elaborate chess-like mind games. However, the film changes a major plot point from the novel, and without spoiling too much, it turns the math teacher, now named Naren, into a less sympathetic character. Given today’s sensibilities, it’s easy to understand why the change was made. After all, just because someone’s a genius, it doesn’t mean that they’re someone to be admired. Jaane Jaan still keeps up the exciting thrills and suspense of the original novel, but in making its changes, it becomes unclear who the film is rooting for.

Synopsis

When a single mother her teenage daughter becomes ensnared in a deadly crime, find an unexpected ally in their neighbor, a simple, doting but genius teacher math teacher comes to aid, while a tenacious cop digs into the case.

More about it

What happens

After she accidentally kills her abusive cop ex-husband, Maya (Kareena Kapoor Khan) has to rely on her neighbor and math teacher Naren (Jaideep Ahlawat) to get away with the murder.

What sets it apart

There are certain moments that stand out in Jaane Jaan. The first fighting action sequence is one, and it makes an excellent introduction to Vijay Varma as inspector Karan Anand. Another excellent scene is when Anand tries to reimagine the murder – revisualizing Dsouza’s steps in a sequence inspired by Decision to Leave. When Naren imagines how the karaoke bar went for Anand and Dsouza, the intercuts between that neon lit singing and Naren’s calming karate show that inner turmoil he’s feeling. These moments show how well writer-director Sujoy Ghosh cares about the inner thoughts and feelings of these characters, and it’s these moments that make Jaane Jaan entertaining.

TL;DR

Kareena Kapoor Khan is perfectly casted… I too would do anything to keep her from being arrested for murder. (Just kidding.)
