The two minutes odd trailer of John Doe starts with a mom telling her child before rushing out of a shop, “I will have a blueberry cheesecake. Get whatever you want.” The child asks her, “10 scoops?” She tells him, “1 scoop.” She then comes back to find her son missing. Then a woman asks her, “Lucky, Lucky, speak clearly. What happened?” She tells her, “Hridhay is missing.” She then rushes to the shop along with her and enquires about the boy, “She was just here with a little boy. Did you see him?”
Subsequently, actor Arjun Das is introduced as a cop who picks a call and introduces himself, “Hello? Sub inspector Chandru speaking.” Following which a cop reprimands the mom, “You send children out alone at night?” To which she says, “We just moved from Dubai.” The cop yells, “Does this look like Dubai to you?” The shot cuts to an old man informing the cop, “If she kept a better eye on her son, he would not have gone missing.”
Soon, Arjun Das discovers that 17 other children have gone missing in the area. In a scene, Sanchana Natarajan instructs her team in a crime scene, “Get the forensics team out here immediately.” Then a character says, “It is hard to judge people these days.” The trailer of the flick ends with actor Arjun Das mouthing, “We are not dealing with a normal killer. He is a twisted psycho. A serial killer.”
