Jarann

Jarann is a breathe of fresh air amidst the chaos of action-packed movies and cliche dramas. While I've always believed that Marathi films don't get the appreciation and recognition they deserve, movies like these solidify the fact that the Marathi Film Industry can actually do better thrillers than Bollywood. This movie is the perfect example of how even the overused genre of horror movies (here, psychological thriller) can be done well.

The overall story, although seems inspired at places, is nevertheless fantastic. The background music perfectly adds on to the tense atmosphere which continues throughout the film. And of course, the top notch acting! Amruta Subash perfectly captures the niches of someone suffering from psychological problems and mark my words, you'll be TERRIFIED of her. I wish Anita Date-Kelkar had some more screen time, but whatever limited scenes she has done, she has made her impact. The plot is very logical and finding loopholes is almost impossible. Although the movie contains quite a few jumpscares, I appreciated the scenes of slow-burn tension more, which, thankfully, are abundant.

Overall, Jarann is definitely a worthwhile watch for it's gripping story and fantastic performances.

Jarann is a marathi psychological thriller movie. It's not a horror film but it's presented like one. The story revolves around a 40 year old woman suffering from a serious psychological disorder. She creates her own version of reality to find happiness but eventually gets trapped in a dangerous situation of her own making.

The film hooks you with its storytelling, visuals and music. However its biggest drawback is the unnecessary horror angle. Without that it could have been one of the best marathi psychological thrillers.

As you watch you think youve figured out what's going to happen and at the climax it feels like your guess was right. But then the movie takes a sharp turn with a twist you never expected. That's the film's biggest strength.

However in the last five minutes of the climax the movie ends suddenly and leaves things unclear. I couldn't understand what the makers were trying to convey in the ending. Can anyone explain what they were trying to say..?

I really appreciate the growth marathi horror universe has made. Even though this movie didn't have Annabelle or conjuring level horror, this movie still made me excited and interested. I liked the fact that the movie neither confirmed now rejected the presence of evil spirits and god. Which made sure to not offend believers. From the cliff hanger at the end of the movie I think there will be another movie. I hope they make that one more scary while keeping the quality of story. I liked the jumpscares but would recommend buildup with music getting louder and quick shots. The movie was great but a little more of a psychological thriller rather horror, which isn't a bad thing but just wanted to put it out there. If there's going to be another movie or a sequel I'd definitely watch. Overall I would give this movie 7/10.

I went into Jaaran expecting a typical horror movie, but what I got was a disturbing mix of psychological tension and rural superstition that stayed with me long after the credits rolled.

The film dives deep into the unsettling world of schizophrenia and paranoia - not in a purely clinical way, but through the lens of a small village where folklore and black magic still hold power. Amruta Subhash delivers a performance that's both terrifying and heart-wrenching, making you question whether the real horror lies in supernatural forces or in the fragile human mind.

The pacing is deliberate, sometimes slow in the first half, but it pays off in the finale with a surprising and thought-provoking twist. The cinematography captures the eerie, claustrophobic mood perfectly, and the sound design adds an extra layer of unease.

This isn't a jump-scare fest - it's a film that creeps under your skin.

With great expectations, I watched this movie. But it failed to create an effect of a psychological thriller. I feel, this is only a psychological film, showing the blind faith and trying to balance the opinion about blind faith without taking any sides. The story is not logical and has many flaws in it. In marathi there is not a single word as JaraNN, but in the context of witchcraft, the word JaraN-MaraN is used.
