Maurh

A new wave of cinema will start following this movie in Punjabi industry, impressive work by Director Jatinder Mauher & great initiative by the production house Rhythm Boys & Naad Studios. Movie is based on the true story of 19th century Rebel Jeona Maurh, who fought against the injustice, against Jagirdaars & British empire. Tells you the story of courage & pride. It was a good feeling to watch it on the big screen, Both lead actors Ammy Virk & Dev Kharoud were great in their roles, few other names impressed in their performance are Vikramjeet Virk (Dogar), Amiek Virk (Officer Hurton), Marc Randhawa (Chatra) & Kuljinder Sidhu (Jaimal) & many more. I would suggest if you haven't watched it yet, give it a go.

First of all it's an true story of the legend Jeona maurh. Everything this par excellence in this movie. Cast of the movie is super. Dialogues are realistic and in that existing lingo. And what an amazing delivery by dev and ammy. Cinematography is amazing. Sets made are super relatable to that time. Action is realistic. No dishoom like Bollywood. Acting by all is amazing and a standing ovation. A very well done and a thorough research about the legend. His samadh exists near Naina Devi Mandir. Best part of movies is the locations. Overall it's worth to watch. This movie has set standard to be matched in future.

Innocent poor people are exploited by the rich king and landlords with the British support as well. The story is about the brothers Kishna Maurh and Jeona Maurh, who rebel against the tyranny of the rich. While the elder brother does it to seek justice, the younger brother joins his brother's path after a personal loss and the brothers' common enemy being Dogra, who has the support of the King as well as the British officer. How does Jeona get his revenge forms rest of the story.

The problem here was not the slow narrative but the lack of elevations in establishing the characters. The first half is more focused on Kishna Maurh, being the more righteous and aggressive one while Jeona remains the subtle patient guy throughout. That is what makes Jeona's transformation post interval falls short of providing the right impact as even his love story remains half baked. The second half has him take charge of the rebellion but the elevation comes too late. There are moments that partly work and the predictable writing bogs down the film.

Overall it was great movie with great story telling. The dialogue delivery and local language were impeccable. The people who think dev kharoud shud b jeona instead of ammu virk, don't knw the cinema or the real story. Kishna was far more notorious than jeona in his life time bt jeona was simpleton and common folk kind of person who remained like that most of his life. So for me casting is correct .. jeona jus became a folk legend becoz he took revenge, not bcoz he was a notorious dacoit.. these are my views... Every body can hav their own opinion. Bt jeona as far as I knw was the kind of person depicted in movie coz I belong to the same region from where he belonged..

They should put Dev Kharoud poster in big size because he was the character which looks much much better then Ammy Virk. Dev Kharoud justified his look and dialogue delivery. While watching movie till interval I was thinking why people didn't like as it well made and every character till interval gave their 100%

Movie started lagging after interval, Ammy Virak can do comedy better, Jeona Maurh role is misfit for him.

About other characters such as Ahmad Dogger, I think his role in this movie is top notch, he just killed as a villain, He is very underrated actor, he should get more work because actors like Ammy Virk doesn't deserve after giving this kind of performance.
