Jai Ganesh

Jai Ganesh

This is a story of a differently abled person and how he lives through his incompetencies with extraordinary mind power and creative skills.

The film moves through a faster track and he gets involved in cracking certain high profile police cases with his extraordinary abilities.

Unni Mukundan's characterisation as a differently abled creative person doesn't seems to be so realistic and Mahima Nambiar's characterisation seems to be unnecessary in the story.

The second half of the movie is completely into the investigation behind a kidnap of a child who is having a close rapport with Unni's character and he gets involved to the case as he was the eye witness to the incident.

In overall,I felt something was lacking in Ranjiths story telling compared to his previous films. I couldn't digest what the director wants to convey through the movie, whether he was trying to create a super hero for Children.

The movie didn't rise upto the expectation of general audience even with the promotions.

Rating - 2.5/5.

This is what all movies should aspire to be, and yes, I can say that for many other great movies but I believe this is one of, if not the best example of art in movie form as it presents a good story, great action and phenomenal acting from actor unnimukuntan.

A well written and executed movie. Great performance by Unni and the whole team. It was very engaging and our whole family loved it! A must watch in theatres.

There are some groups degrading this movie because unnimukuntan against terrorist,he is believed in hanuman and he is a true nationalist.

This is another gem from malayalam film industry.

It is a classic example of being misled by a movie title. With a name like this, you would expect a mythological or devotional movie, whereas it is an investigative thriller.

This movie is about a brilliant but handicapped cartoonist and ethical hacker who works as a designer in a media firm. He helps the police find a kidnapper using his talents.

The title of the movie comes from the superhero cartoon series he develops, named Jai Ganesh. The story may not be unique, but it keeps you engaged throughout its entire runtime. The thriller elements are well-packaged, keeping your eyes glued to the screen to find out what the next revelation will be. The way he connects the dots to find the kidnapper or the kid is well-written.

It is an Unni Mukundan show, and he performs really well, demonstrating that given good characters, he can pull off any role. The other actors lend support to the main character and have done a decent job.

The music is a big letdown, with not a single number working in its favor. Even the background score is underwhelming. The police are depicted as mere puppets, knowing nothing about solving the case and relying entirely on this outsider, which is far-fetched. But it doesn't really hamper your viewing as you can take that with a pinch of salt.

If the movie had a title more true to its story and genre, it could have worked wonders. I really enjoyed it as it is a good thriller and can be watched with your entire family. #pranureviews #JaiGanesh #JaiGaneshReview.

First of all, the film was okay to watch, however, not that exhilarating but it maintained 2023 film, Vela's pacing. Some say clues were simple, but often to connect them and to make it sensible is what defines this specific genre, like the Professor T, tv-series. A thing I liked about the film was that Jomol was brought back, someone should have taken that initiative years ago. It was a very appreciative thing, and I hope to see her more. Thing's I didn't like, the promotion interviews, I heard him saying he had chances to go into Hindi films, and he didn't choose it. I believe, he has to cut back on building a superstar image, and be just an actor, cause at that he has been doing well, but taking the other idiotic path, and that too by won't help him. Second, the negative image, and whatever he himself and others are trying to make him, a semi-militant religious figure, I have seen posts were people are asking to not support releasing his films at certain places due to those reasons, it is going to be bad for him, if it is not stopped. Like pouring oil to fire, some are saying this is a super hero film like his previous film that was based on religion, while the truth is, it is about super hero complex, and finding meaning of life through it. He has to follow Vineeth Sreenivasan's diplomatic style around these matters. Third, story inconsistency, if the police knew the person, they could have done what all cinematic police would do, so that did not sit well with me. Character depiction, he himself hasn't accepted his fate, and that is the root of his anger, but to enhance his superstar image, he made the statement he has accepted his situation and others have not. That kind of meddled with the narrative, and it wasn't needed at all. Otherwise, it's a passable film. Since, there were 3 films that released together, I would also like to mention here what I thought of the other two ones as well, and what I felt the overall state of them were. Varshangalkku Sesham, was a film that it's first half did not connect with me, and the fact that Kalyani was included made it very, very cringey. Though, Vineeth saved the film through the second half with his creative script writing, especially through placement of elements and what would reels feeding audience would like to see. Overall, the second half felt like an attempt to save the film at any cost, but it was enjoyable. Moreover, it showcases Vineeth's deeper understanding of human and social psyche, even though he hasn't openly revealed about it, his works ascertain it. I loved how he trolled the Big Boss screaming star and an anchor who usually brings that energy, the fact that there are sane souls who can do it, makes me feel calm. I liked Shaan Rahman's acting and role, and want to see him in more films, it seemed like he has a talent for it. I liked Dhyan's and Pranav's acts as oldies rather than their depiction of younger selves, cause the vibe seemed more natural. Pranav consistently reminded me of Bharat Gopy, more than Murali Gopi to an extend that reminded me of Jagathy's dialogue in Yoddha, where he says his mother did not give him "tea".... Dhyan's almost crying scene reminded me of how Mohanlal mocked Sreenivasan's character in Udayanaanu Tharam, I felt like there was some sort of truth revealing there, and an unintentional sarcasm. About, Avesham, I felt a better title would have been "the good goon/goonda" like "good unni," and I believe without the last sequence, the film would have been a box-office flop if people where there to seriously criticize such a silly film. It did not have any solid value base, like a strong internal dynamics or that internal setup between characters like in Romacham, cause in it story was said from that substrate, and I believe that is what made people connect with it. Aavesham is based on an unbelievable character arc, loose consequences, and background story, though it exudes a sort of freedom, and could be considered as a story of a goon who goes through a mid-life crisis and is always seeking recognition, and in this it is trying to identify with youths, but that is a stretch that the film isn't making but could have. If they want, they can capture on that tread and make sequels like Munna Bhai MBBS. Fahadh has already proven that he is the king of depicting eccentric characters, so nothing special there, he delivered what was expected of him, but I wish to see him not typecasted. The only thing that I felt curious was the Ambaan character, and he strongly reminded me of Baiju Ezhupunna. However, the fact that there is a growing fan base for FaFa in North India as well is undeniable, among all the other Malayalam actors who have been in multilingual films, I believe he is the only one that excites them as well, and could be called as a pan-Indian star in the real sense. Overall, these 3 films felt like they were just passable, and since it was three different genres, people did have the opportunity to see whatever they felt like. The box office numbers also made me wonder how people are finding money to see them all three. Somehow, there is a steady flow of wealth despite the inflation and lack of quality jobs and pay.

Watched this movie with lot of expectations as the rating and reviews were too high. But I didn't felt it that good for 9.5 rating. Story is ok, and the making also, but may be it wasn't my cup of tea. I won't say it was a waste of money, but not the best either.

I didn't felt it as a good investigation thriller movie, felt like I need a better knowledge in cyber security and all to understand it more.

Unni Mukundan was good, he handled the role of a handicapped guy pretty much well. I am really glad that they didn't brought a cliche of the hero getting cured through a miracle at the end.

Overall the movie is onetime watchable. A.
