Jaaneman[a] is a 2012 Indian Bengali language road action adventure film directed by Raja Chanda. The film is jointly produced by Shrikant Mohta and Nispal Singh under the banner of Shree Venkatesh Films and Surinder Films respectively. The movie is a remake of 2010 Tamil movie Paiyaa.[2] It stars Koel Mallick and Soham Chakraborty in the lead roles,[3] while Ashish Vidyarthi, Arpit Ranka (marking his debut in Bengali cinema) and Partha Sarathi Chakraborty play other pivotal roles. The story, screenplay and dialogues of the film were written by N.K Salil, while the soundtrack was composed by Jeet Gannguli. It revolves around a carefree boy Deva, who is unaware of his job, falling in love with Riya at first sight in Siliguri. On their journey to Kolkata by car, coincidentally each gets attacked by their enemies and circumstances force them to reveal each of their dark past to one other.

Jaaneman is the second Bengali film mostly shot in roads and exploring the cinematic genre of road films in Bengal after Dui Prithibi (2010). It became a blockbuster at the box office and ran more than 110 days in theatres. All the songs of the film were chartbuster upon its release and topped the music charts on the channel Sangeet Bangla.
