    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Jai Bhim' is a powerful film tackling social injustices, caste discrimination, and police brutality. Suriya, Lijomol Jose, and Manikandan deliver strong performances. The realistic portrayal of tribal life and systemic corruption is commended. However, some note pacing issues, melodrama, and the film's length. Despite these criticisms, 'Jai Bhim' is widely regarded as impactful, raising awareness about significant social issues.

    Intense, Raw, Must Watch, Good Casting, Acting, One of the best movies. Suriya's best. This movie is based on true incident that happened in 1995.

    One of the best movies. Suriya's best. This movie is based on true incident that happened in 1995. True incident movies might come out like a documentary but here the director managed it well and movie came well and its very interesting to watch. It's a movie of 2.5 hrs but we don't get boring.

    The Powerful Film

    The film is based on true story which was happened 28 years ago.

    Despite given an 'A' rating for its strong content, the film was real and brutal what we see it is similar to Visaranai and Kavalthurai Ungal Nanban. This is one of the best and powerful legal films. Thus, it's a must.watch.
