Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hei

There were so many moments in the film that I felt like this is something I'm so familiar with in real life and in cinema but never have I seen this portrayed with such fun and realism at the same time. Whenever domestic abuse news comes up people talk about various points where it should've stopped but those same people in Kerala will act like the family of Jaya in this film. This film opens up that hypocrisy in the most fun way possible. The character of Rajesh is very very familiar to me. The realism that may feel absurd to anyone outside of Indian culture is always pushed just a tiny bit so that it can be made into a fun movie. It is from Rajesh's action that I noticed the little tweak in realism. It is not enough to not call it realistic but still manage to do that so that the nuances are clearly conveyed in the most fun way. I'm really glad this became such a massive success in Kerala. There would be many Rajesh in the audience who would clap to this film and then go on doing the exact same thing to their wives.

After watching several Malayalam movies and "Palthu Janwar" (translated hindi name). I an fan of Malayalam cinema... Now about Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey.. I didn't want the movie to end what a nice story line ..kept me captured the whole time .. every men and women should watch this.

Showing the harsh reality with the tadka of humor which made the movie quite fanatic to think upon .

It showed the real faces whether it was the husband or the family of the bride. Sweet and tangy slap to the male dominating society we are living in.

The funniest part was the wresting commentary which was hilarious. On the contrary the emotional part was the duration protagonist aka antagonist trying to be sweeter to his wife and she came to know his plan.

If you watched Minnal Murali, you prolly know about Basil Joseph.

JJJH is a movie about domestic violence in simple terms. BUT it's unlike your sob story kind of movie where you simply feel pity for the main character.

JJJH is witty, funny, and at times a little sad. But never for once will it make you settle down. You will notice all the ironical details about patriarchy in society and how domestic violence has been normalized for years. But all of these have been done in a not-preachy way.

There's this hilarious scene with a woman clad in Burqa and she is asking the other character to ask her husband how much freedom she enjoys...with the context of the film, it just gets absolutely hilarious. JJJH is phenomenally well-written.

And my word who knew Basil Joseph could portray a negative character in such a beautiful manner.

8.5/10 for me.

It was well worth the trouble of going to cinemas for a night show.

Do watch it folks if it eventually comes to cinemas or OTT.

More power to Malayalam films. At this point my expectations are too high for whatever they make.

Excellent movie.

Brilliant acting by everyone .

Become a big fan of darshana after watching this movie.

I always like her movies she has been in .. But this movie was whole new level.

Ppl giving 7/10 rating for this is so sad. Best Malayalam movie i have seen. Thought nothing will beat Malayalam comedy kilukam. But this movie , I was laughing my heart out late at night. Was worried my neighbors will make a complain laughing too hard late night LOL.

I guess, some male chauvinist won't like this movie . It is high time Keralites bring more movies like this that showcases life of women in kerala / india.

The trailer for this film reminded me of The Great Indian Kitchen (a brilliant film about women's empowerment that you SHOULD watch) from the same industry. I thought, "Interesting. Curious to see HOW you're gonna tell this story, since it's already been told."

Fam, this was very different from TGIK. Jaya Hey takes a comedic approach to the storytelling and it really worked. I was afraid how they were gonna tackle a serious topic with a serious message, but just as it is the case with almost every Malayalam film, they've pulled it off.

The plot is simple, Jaya has aspirations in life. Wants to go to college, and do her own thing. The society has other plans for her. Married life is not what she thought it would be. Things fall apart and you can guess what the rest of the film is about.

The lead actors - great acting!! Story - kept it simple, life of an avg Indian housewife kinda plot - stuff that you'd have seen/heard of/watched in daily life. Writing - great!! There are two twists in the film that you won't see coming.

If TGIK was too serious of a film and too hard hitting for your liking, this is brilliant and you'll enjoy this, and I don't think that the comedic take takes away anything from the serious message at all. You'll enjoy this one.
