Jana Gana Mana

Powerful script make movies powerful , this one is finest example in that list.

Sharpest dialogues , remarkable direction and collective performances , each and every actors and actress show their worth Vincy Aloshious , shari , mamtamohandas and many new comers all did a fantastic job ,excellent direction by Dijo Jose Antony

Suraj Venjaramoodu is brilliant ,outstanding performance and Prithviraj Sukumaran is awesome , tremendous performance !

Technical side is top notch ,back ground score is effective and songs are good !

Editing is outstanding !

And many may say first half is slow and compare to second and all ,i would say , see the whole picture and review as whole movie , for me first half of this one is the base or root of what comes later !

Over all JanaGanaMana is emotional ,social- political and Dialogue driven thought provoking movie to enjoy it in theater !

And super excited for the 2'nd part !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And my rating is 9.4 i will watch it again.

The second film by Dijo Jose Antony and he has improved a lot. But one of the things that can be noticed in his first feature Queen itself is that he wants to talk about important things and let the emotion of it spread to the audience and it should be conveyed to every single one of them. He's ready to sacrifice some logic and reality for these emotions. He makes it a point to present these issues on the nose and as dramatic as possible. Queen became a big commercial success for such a small movie even though the critics saw all the problems that were definitely in it. But still, it can't be denied how successful it was at what it set out to be.

Jana Gana Mana works very similarly in that regard. There are many points in the film which are exaggerated just for the dramatic effect and unless you are able to be accepting the emotional side and not the real world logic, especially in the courtroom scenes, the movie will be a disappointment.

Despite all these issues, the movie is grounded in almost every other aspect. The top-notch acting, specifically by the two leads and the plot itself makes it a compelling watch. Touching upon all the important issues faced by the common people in the country, touching too many nerves due to which the movie ended up banned in a lot of North Indian states, the movie is a bold statement about the state of the country.

The way the movie moved through the two protagonists through the two halves was very cleverly done so that the paradigm shift really allows the audience to see the broader picture. The way they made the audience root for things is really commendable as it shows exactly how the world works and why it shouldn't be that way. The movie is made in a way so that its messages can be reached everywhere and also makes sure to teach them to be able to question things. For a movie that is gonna be labelled as something that doesn't consider the audience intelligent enough to comprehend everything unless spelt out, it makes the exact case of why the audience around the world isn't really collectively intelligent and even those who ask for the intelligent narration won't be able to deny those facts.

There would be a kind of hate that would be easily faced by this movie. The way the movie dealt with those political aspects is enough for the filmmakers to be proud about it due to the truth in the fiction.

A must watch suspenseful movie,especially prithivis court room part. You will find many things similar around you that is happened in the present and past.

The story is all about depiction of what is happening in today's India. Screenplay was very good. Then and there lag is there but overall the movie is good. Actors acted so well. Movie exactly shows how police, press and the judiciary system in India brainwash lower class people. Young people must watch the movie.

The movie discussed many relevant and real issues of present day India directly and indirectly. Prithviraj comes back with a strong performance after a short break along with the always consistent Suraj. The dialogue delivery in court scenes were good enough to have goosebumps again and again. A must watch movie.
