    • Trivia
      Even though the film had the same cast across the Hindi and Tamil versions with 2 different stars (Shah Rukh Khan in Hindi & Suriya in Tamil), the climaxes in both the Hindi and Tamil versions are slightly different when the real Nambi Narayanan conveys his final thoughts to the anchor. In the Hindi climax, Nambi Narayanan's dialogue is voiced over by Madhavan himself despite Narayanan's hindi lip-sync being correct. However in the Tamil climax, Narayanan speaks the same dialogue for himself in Tamil.

      Another notable difference is that in the Hindi version, once Narayanan ends the interview with "Jai Hind" (translation: Victory to India) Shah Rukh Khan conveys the same in return while wiping away his tears. In the Tamil version though, Suriya conveys his silence while being astonished by Narayanan's last words.

    Movie is a precious gem of Indian Cinema

    I don't understand people who are going for watching Jug Jug Jeeyo, Bhool Bhulaiya(it's on Netflix), OM. This is masterpiece. BEST BIOPIC EVER MADE IN INDIA. Many scenes will make you cry. And knowing this fact, that it happened to real person of the kind Nambi Narayanan ji. You will see a kind of shock passing through you. Last scene of scooter and car will make you realize, the problem with India's system, what happens with our brilliant minds, how the system rewards them for their talent and hard work. ALL TRUE INDIANS must watch and should think what can we do in our capacity to change our system, and those who can, who are actually in capacity should act on it, as well.
