The Story of John Doe
John Doe follows police officer Chandru, played by Arjun Das, who is called in when a young boy mysteriously disappears after a late-night outing in a quiet town in Tamil Nadu. What begins as a single missing-child case soon leads him to a disturbing pattern — 17 other missing children — and a serial killer operating in the shadows. As Chandru digs deeper, the clues begin pointing toward his own past, and everyone around him starts to suspect him. The trailer builds the film as a dark, tense investigation in which the hunter himself becomes the suspect.
