Jhini Bini Chadariya

A wave of gratitude washed over me today. A movie poster, a review by Danish Husain, and a surge of curiosity - it all led me down a path to a wonderful surprise! The opportunity to watch this film filled me with joy.

Set in the vibrant city of Varanasi, the movie captures the essence of life in India, a country I hold dear as my own. The story, masterfully crafted by Ritesh Sharma and his team, is a testament to the beautiful tapestry of Indian society. In this city, Hindus and Muslims coexist peacefully, their lives interwoven.

Enter Shahdab, a Muslim weaver, and Rani, a dancer. Though from different backgrounds, they lead fulfilling lives. But fate takes a turn, and their paths intertwine. The movie transcends their individual stories, offering a glimpse into a world where harmony prevails.

For those familiar with the works of Kabir, a 15th-century mystic poet who promoted religious tolerance, the film resonates deeply. It portrays an India where weavers, often Muslim, created exquisite sarees adorned by Hindu women. Religion becomes irrelevant in the face of shared humanity and artistic expression.

The storytelling is captivating, leaving room for both interpretation and emotional connection. It carries a powerful message - a message of love over hate, a message that transcends borders. This is a film the world needs to see.

A heartfelt thank you to Ritesh Sharma and his team for presenting a story that is both authentic and inspiring. Here's to their continued success and to the movie's impact on audiences worldwide.

This film is absolutely stunning. The acting is not just good; it's honest, raw, and captured with breathtaking precision. The storyline skillfully entwines four unlikely characters in a mesmerizing tapestry, creating a striking and unforgettable narrative. The film adopts a documentary-style approach, immersing the audience in the vivid sights of Varanasi. The cinematography is so immersive that it transports every viewer to the heart of the city, creating a collective experience as if we were all present together. This distinctive filmmaking style is unique, exquisite, and raw. This is unequivocally a must-watch film, an experience that will leave an indelible mark on your cinematic sensibilities.

The film very beautifully illustrated intricate fabrics of human intentions, love and loss. Despite individuals simply living their lives and minding their own business, they become unwitting pawns in political agendas. It emphasizes that inaction is a meaningful action, a silent permission. The film underscores the importance of setting aside propaganda to focus on individual lives, urging viewers to preserve empathy and love.

I personally can relate to the relevance of this movie since I have travelled to Israel. It had given me an opportunity to keep aside my biases. Life is too short to ignore beauty shown in this film. Just mundane life and yet worth noting. The film leaves me dejected that people don't understand and this will continue to happen.

The dynamics in the film left me astound. The soundscape of the film doesn't let you escape from the place of Varanasi. I was completely lost myself in the film, how fragile we are as a human in the name of religion. The spaces in the film are too organic and delves you deep into the narrative. The film not only just talks about religion in India, it's all over the world and we have to understand the sensitivity of it. We don't need inspiration to make or watch this kind of film. I wonder, what a journey it was for the team in making of this film.

As a filmmaker, we want our voice to be heard, and I know this film brings a lot positive for people in way of seeing person of another caste and religion. I hope the world will become a better place.

Congratulations and more power to the whole team!

This movie covers the untouched parts of Banaras with all essential elements that should have been shown previously apart from ghats, galees, cuisine, etc.

Watching 'Jhini Bini Chadariya' is like recalling the glimpse of Anawar ka ajab Kissa, Masaan, Liar's Dice, Chandani Bar. But having said that, the voice of movie- its story- is in its purest form.

Honestly, the movie leads to the possibilites in todays time on the backdrop of culture, profession and helplessness.

The frames and caputing of scenes are unique, the charcters are entirely different from each other. Muzaffar Khan does job without saying much.

The movie should be seen by cinema lovers wherever possible, although I hope it gets a proper release.
