Jogi

The truth is too scary and it would have taken immense courage for one to be brutally honest in the depiction of 1984 riots against a particular minority community (Sikh) that took place in almost all part of the country (specially Northern region) in the same time duration.

They chose the narrative from a single person perspective, thus limiting the story line to a man and a lane in a city (that happens to be the national capital as well). Considering the limited approach to one of the terrifying incident in the history of mankind, I would say team Jogi did quite well.

Very intense screenplay, specially the escape sequence and commendable acting by all the main characters. The makers were also successfully in embedding the love story of the lead character without compromising the intensity of the plot (this has something to do with editing department).

This movie wouldn't disappoint you, just watch it with an open mind without too much expectation.

Some films leave you stunned with sheer power. Long after you've watched the film, it still sends a chill down your spine if you recall the incidents. Diljit Dosanjh's Jogi (Netflix) based on 1984 sikh genocide is one such film. An intense drama. Bit of slow but Keeps you hooked throughout. #Jogi touches some raw nerves with facts & soul shaking scenes from 84 Sikh genocide. With Top Notch direction Jogi successfully Brings out the pain which has been forgotten years ago. It's definitely hard hitting, but with much needed sensitivity. And I really don't have words to explain what I am feeling right now. Remember ~ 1984 was a genocide of Sikhs not riots.

Every character in the movie plays there role to brilliance .... Even the supporting cast specially mother of jogi.. she is just mind blowing ... coming to Diljit Dosanjh .. I think he is most underrated actor in bollywood because the level of acting he does in the movie is just amazing .. looking forward to see him in more bollywood movies ... movie is gripping , full of tension till last , and obviously emotional ride. From the starting of the movie it finds the path ... extra ordinary well directed first half by Ali abbas Jaffar .. can say loose grip in second half but acting level in the second half was just unbelievable.

The biggest achievement of Jogi is that it depicts all characters as human beings--flawed and broken--but humans nonetheless. There are no knights in shining armours and no evil demons. Even the bad guys are not religious fanatics but political opportunists, depicting a reality that has played out far too many times in modern-day India. There have been better films on communal violence but very few as layered and as real as Jogi.

The film may be unpalatable for some given its realism and bold depiction of administration's complicity in violence against a community, but it is an important watch nonetheless, and a step forward for Hindi cinema.
