Jackson Halt

How about a movie that is prototype of a thriller cinema? Watch Jackson Halt and feel it. Still getting goosebumps!!

A remarkable work in regional cinema of Bihar. Nitin Chandra has once again showed the path to the indie filmmakers that how do you make a tight packed thriller with a limited budget and crew. You won't believe the fact that OTT giants like Netflix and Amazon refused to release the earlier films of Nitin Chandra on their platform. Then and there, Nitin sir decided to make their own OTT platform with name Bejod. Now when the movie Jackson Halt is released and getting amazing responses from every section of the movie lovers, Bejod ott will get its due recognition.

Natural lighting in the flick gives it a very elevated sense of realism which is often lost in the cliched commercial cinema made in our country. The subtle music is a strength to what is superb viewing even for a non Maithili speaker like me whose mother tongue is Tamil. The main cast are brilliant in their performances and hold you on a knife edge with their obviously pedigreed histrionic skills. As a fan of realistic cinema i could not resist imagining Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi in the role brilliantly played by Ram Bahadur Renu if ever this brilliant flick was to be adapted in Tamil.

Watched the movie at the behest of a friend who is a Maithili speaker and truth be told this experience was better than I had imagined.

Kudos to the director, producer and the three main protagonists for making this a worthwhile viewing experience.

Good luck and Godspeed to the entire team for well deserved recognition at a national level.

Cheers.

This is what quality Independent cinema is like.

Gripping plot, great screenplay and good direction; all in place. It's a shame it's not on any mainstream OTT. I am quite sure Zee5 or some similar OTT will soon buy the rights because its entertaining and will sell, regardless of the language barrier.

I watched it in a group of European people from different backgrounds and everyone enjoyed it irrespective of the cultural difference.

*Must watch it if you are sucker for thriller based in small sleepy towns.

It has all the potential to become a thriller franchise like Conjouring or Silence of the lambs if consecutive movies remain true to the plot!

This film is gripping till the very end.. Abhishek Nischal Durgesh Kumar and Ram Bahadur Renu have done a fabulous work. Some scenes in the movie like the one wherein the antagonist talks about his past moves you. Integrating literature with Vidyapati and other poets is another interesting part of the same. Sholka ends with a very deep meaning song, lyrics were so apt for such a movie...Jag Banake Ke Bhul Gaye Kya is a one line which will remain in memory for long. Nitin Chandra like his earlier movies has a class Craft for languages of Bihar. He seems to be on a mission to change the very fabric of Bihar Cinema. Long Live The Craft!

Can't believe this is Maithili film!!!!!!

Strong script, effective screenplay, perfect background score, superb cinematography, brilliant Direction and stellar performances by the actors.

What a movie!!!!

Kudos to Nitin N Chandra and team for this marvelous film.

Expression of station master reminded Ashutosh Rana (from movie Sangharsh) and Anthony Hopkins (from Silence of the Lambs).

This is a must watch movie, there is no language issue as this available with English sub title also.

During watching the movie, you will never felt that this movie is in a regional language and shooter at a very interior area of Bihar.
