Jongli

It could be an above average movie at best. I Don't know why some people are calling it a cinematic masterpiece. I mean it is nowhere near that. The story is good but presented in a way that would cringe any typical movie buffs. I felt uncomfortable so many times with the cringe dialogues and weirdly paced storytelling and songs in every 15/20 minutes. The last 20/30 minutes is good. I think this is why the movie is being praised so much because it has an emotional ending. But other than that, despite having a good story, i did not like this movie at all.

Alright enough with the bad things. The acting was really good. Specially siam and the child actress did really great in their roles. The story is good. The songs are good but too many to remember. Could be better to use less songs.

A very very good film of siam's career.... And i think this is the best film of him....story was superb very emotional story......all actors worked their job goodly.... Background music was moderate i think it could be better.... All songs were good i liked two of them......this is the debut film of the Director,i think the director will give us another good film in coming years.....i wish a very good luck of him.....the film is underrated with compared to other....it need be blockbuster because story was very very good compared to the recent films of Bangladesh that is released in eid....it emotionally attached me....it made me about cry at the last scene..... The girl's acting was very good as a child artist.... Cinematography was moderate it could be better.... But finally i can say it was a good film.

"Jongli" is an emotional action drama that attempts to balance family bonds, action, and social messages. The story revolves around a father-daughter relationship, blending intense emotions, thrilling action, and a touch of romance. While the film succeeds in delivering a heartfelt narrative, it struggles with pacing and execution in some areas.

Siam Ahmed shines in his performance, showing remarkable improvement from his past works. His dedication and versatility make his character believable and engaging. Bubly also delivers a decent performance, and the child actor adds an emotional depth that resonates with the audience.

The direction, background score, and overall presentation have a few noticeable flaws, likely due to budget constraints or the challenge of balancing multiple elements. However, the film does a commendable job of capturing emotions, making it relatable for family audiences. The storytelling could have been tighter, but the underlying social messages add value to the movie's overall impact.

Why Watch It?

✔ Strong emotional core focusing on family bonds ✔ Siam Ahmed's best performance yet ✔ Well-placed social messages that resonate ✔ A mix of action, comedy, romance, and drama

What It Lacks:

❌ Pacing issues, with some scenes dragging unnecessarily ❌ Over-reliance on emotions rather than a gripping screenplay ❌ Some predictable and repetitive moments

Final Verdict:

"Jongli" is a bold attempt at blending emotion with action. If you enjoy family dramas with deep emotional storytelling, this film is worth a watch-just lower your expectations a bit. But this movie is good.

(Personal opinion)

"Jongli" showcases the brilliance of Bangladeshi cinema. With its compelling storytelling and outstanding performances, especially by the young Noireeta, it is a must-watch for audiences seeking quality cinema.

The dedication of the entire cast and crew is evident, resulting in a film that is both engaging and thought-provoking. Noireeta's portrayal of Pakhi is nothing short of extraordinary. Despite her young age, she brings a depth and authenticity to her character that resonates profoundly with the audience.

Siam Ahmed once again proves why he is one of the most versatile actors in Bengali cinema today. His portrayal of a rugged, determined yet emotionally vulnerable character is both powerful and nuanced.

In short, with Noireeta's extraordinary performance and Siam Ahmed's magnetic screen presence, this film is a must-watch for all Bengali cinema lovers.

One of the cleanest works in Siam's recent movies. The story was impressive; the actors and actresses tried their level best to give the best output, and honestly, they did it so well.

Especially Bubly, the lead actress of this film, has done this assignment so well that sometimes her acting foreshadows the lead's acting.

In my opinion, the music was good...especially when it comes to emotional movies, you need to choose slow tempo music, and they did that.

Honorable mention goes to the child actress Rudromoyee; she did a splendid job. Most of the time you will think about her acting skills. She definitely deserves a national award for this.

Let's talk about the cons. The climax, when they arrest the lead for accusing child abuse and the court session, could have been longer and more interesting. It finished really quick, which also affected the movie. Also, some points they need to work on dialogue. Overall it was a great attempt when it comes to the director's debut film.

Final verdict: Though it seems underrated, obviously it's a must-watch movie for Bengali movie lovers.
