Social Cause and Cinema
To all my deshi people out there, please watch this movie. Give it a shot, offer your constructive feedback, and let's help our industry grow in a really good way. Respect to the makers!
So, I went into "Jongli" on Chorki completely blind - no trailer, zero idea what it was about. Honestly, for the first bit, I was just waiting, thinking, "Okay, if this doesn't get interesting in the next 10 minutes, I'm out." But then, wow, the story really started to unfold, and I found myself getting completely hooked.
And here's the kicker: it wasn't just a good story. As it developed, I was genuinely surprised to find it tackling crucial social causes. It was amazing, and I have so much respect for the makers for that alone. What makes "Jongli" truly stand out, especially from a Bangladeshi cinema perspective, is how bravely it brings up two incredibly important issues. Beyond the general social preaching, the film specifically touches upon "Touch", and then, BAM! That ending. Seriously, when they dropped the phrases on "Parenting" right at the very end as the big reveal of why everything happened? That was a total shocker and honestly, it's the best part of the whole movie for me. It just made everything click. It's genuinely rare to see a single Bangladeshi film address topics like these so directly and powerfully, and I have immense respect for the filmmakers for bringing these crucial causes to light.
The casting across the board was really good. You can see the talent there, and I'm really hoping to see them grow their skills even further in future projects.
