Joram

Joram stands out as a meticulously crafted cinematic gem, boasting a stellar cast whose powerful performances seamlessly intertwine with the brilliant direction. The film serves as a poignant voice for the voiceless, representing the untouched tribe of society. The narrative not only captivates with its gripping storytelling but also sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles of marginalized communities.

The strength of the movie lies in its ability to evoke genuine emotions, thanks to the stellar performances of the cast. Each actor brings depth and authenticity to their characters, making them relatable and compelling. The director's skillful guidance is evident in every frame, creating a visual and emotional journey that resonates long after the credits roll.

Moreover, Joram transcends the boundaries of conventional storytelling, offering a fresh perspective on societal issues. The film's exploration of the untouched tribe serves as a metaphor for the silenced voices in our communities, urging us to reflect on the importance of empathy and understanding.

In addition to its thought-provoking narrative, the film's cinematography and soundtrack contribute to its overall impact. The visuals are not merely a backdrop but a vital element that enhances the storytelling, while the soundtrack complements the emotional beats of the film seamlessly.

Joram is more than just a movie; it's a powerful statement. It not only entertains but also challenges us to reconsider our perspectives and become advocates for the unheard voices in our society. A must-watch for those who appreciate cinema that transcends boundaries and leaves a lasting impression.

I am truly thankful to the writer, director, and actors who take bold steps to create such layered cinema. Despite commercial cinema dominating the indie movie box-office, a film like that is still searching for its place, almost as if it's tucked away in a corner of a large multiplex.

In today's time, there are fewer movies being made that can truly resonate with people and compel them to ponder, forcing them to realize that this is the same society that separates humanity from humaneness.

The movie "Joram" beautifully portrayed all characters in their roles. We don't perceive Dasru as Manoj Bajpayee we see him solely as Dasru. Similarly, Smita Tambe played magnificently as Phulo Karma, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub portrayed Ratnakar with brilliance.

Overall, it's a creative concept which is beautifully written and directed by Devashish Makhija.

Well made film. I Missed the film at Mumbai film festival but good to see it in theatres.

Good direction acting production and post. Must watch. The film used a good balance between loudness and silence which is rarely done in Bollywood movies.

Films like this should come from India and get international acclaim, hopefully more will come out.

Probably the story lies between fiction and documentary and in half an hour of watching I was immersed into the story and became a part of it. We can't say the things told in the film may have actually happened. Never know.

It must be watched on the big screen.

I learned a lesson today that do not pay that much heed to overall imdb rating in general lol.

Although the movie's story was pretty simple and nothing breathtaking like we would crave for, but the direction and cimetography had been extra ordinary and captured the minute details that we foresee or ignore when thinking about the sacrifices that we are making as society in favour of progression and development.

My favourite scenes were how the team had captuted the subplot set in the train and iron mines. The train scene was especially good at noting down the very minute details like the toilet and a passenger asking the police officer about why the fan is not working. I could literally related to that lol.

The mines scene particularly showcased some amazing visuals of the humongous machinery. Metaphorism was at work here bringing life to the machines.

Overall a good slow paced movie and would recommend it 100% who are into slow paced realism. This film is filled with strong visuals which goes around our life. Definitely worth a watch.

Devashish Makhija makes movies about people on the margins, compelled to switch on their survival mode in the face of great odds. His fourth feature 'Joram' reunites him with Manoj Bajpayee who was terrific as a retired low-level policeman in 'Bhonsle': here, the latter plays a tribal on the run, keeping at bay inimical forces from within his own people, as well as those who are hunting him from the outside. Is there anyone left on his side?

From the bucolic and tranquil forests of Jharkhand to a cacophonous and bustling urban jungle, the forced transition that Dasru Kerketta (Manoj Bajpayee) and his wife Vaano (Tannishtha Chatterjee in a special appearance) make in Joram, an immersive and disturbing man-on-the-run drama written and directed by Devashish Makhija, is excruciatingly and expectedly painful.

Joram is a gritty tale that will stay with you for a long time. Although it strays from being a survival drama as the socio-political facet overpowers the narrative, it's a must-watch for its intense storytelling and performances. The poignant movie will also make you think about what we are doing to Mother Nature in the name of development and progress. It deserves to be watched on the big screen.
