Summary
Reviewers say 'Jogi' is a poignant film about the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, exploring themes of friendship and political corruption. Praised for its emotional impact and Diljit Dosanjh's performance, the movie is commended for its gripping narrative and direction. However, some criticize pacing, logic, and subplots. The film's sensitive portrayal of the tragedy is both lauded and critiqued for not delving deeper into complexities.
Featured reviews
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.

This movie is brilliant. Screenplay, direction, acting, everything is amazing. I advise you to put some tissue papers beside you because it will make you cry a lot. The screenplay and story literally hold me tightly throughout the movie. One of the best thriller and suspense movie, based on the real events, i have ever seen. One of the best Indian movie of 2022. I find no negatives/flaws in the movie. Throughout the movie you will keep biting your nails. That's the suspense level of this movie. This movie will be remembered forever like Schindler's list. This movie is going abroad for sure. I cried a lot and i am sure you will too.
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.
Whilst I do appreciate these earnest attempts, the problem with 'Jogi' is its shallow scripting. While it did shed some light on the killing of our then Prime Minister Ms. Indira Gandhi, and the unimaginable monstrosities that ensued; I believe that there was a lot more to inquire into. The creators have made their choice to not delve deeper into the core subject, or to talk about any of the deep-seated politics that was involved.
They have chosen to constrain themselves inside an invisible enclosure, that prevented them from taking any names of any influential figures or the political parties they associated with, I assume it was to stay away from further disputes and debates.
Albeit I wish they had done otherwise.
That being said, this movie is still deeply affecting. I cannot fathom the sufferings, the horrors, all the Innocent people had to put up with. Some scenes will terrify you, will make you infuriated, and before you could realize what and why is this taking place, tears will be rolling down, your heart will get heavy, and you will feel devastated by the barbarity. It may as well take hours or even days to recover from what you've just witnessed!
Get ready for an emotional roller coaster!

I must say that this movie took me by surprise. I didn't expect this movie to be that good.
This movie is based on true events, which took place during the mid '80s. Those were the times when many countries had racial and religious riots.
I wasn't aware of these bitter events that took place in India during the '80s, so it was so sad to see that the assassination of one human being, led people in attempting to take revenge and brutally ethnic cleanse one whole race from one particular country just because two members from their ethnic group happened to be the ones who assassinated their Prime Minister.
I think the cast did an excellent job and the movie was produced and directed perfectly, so this one deserves a perfect 10 stars from me as it's one of the best films I've seen in a very long time.
This is one film which is not to be missed and I would highly recommend it.. I recommend the dubbed in English version if Hindi/Urdu isn't your first language.
