Jhimma 2

Please avoid this movie at all costs. Watching this group of women-and the guy with them-is genuinely painful. In short, it's one big, baffling disappointment!

I watched this movie out of curiosity, in a theater-biggest mistake ever!

Jhimma and its sequel attempt to show women of different ages "finding themselves," but instead, they stagger from one cringeworthy escapade to another, seemingly convinced that endless alcohol and drama are the only paths to fun or self-discovery.

Both movies feature women who constantly blame others-society, tradition, you name it-for their choices. Their version of "breaking free" from norms mostly involves making immature, impulsive choices that are supposed to be liberating but just look embarrassing.

These films push the idea that "living your best life" means ignoring all common sense-drinking to excess, acting out for attention, and pretending they're still in their 20s. Sadly, instead of showing any real growth, it all feels shallow and forced, as if middle-aged women are just stuck in misery unless they're rebelling against something.

In the end, Jhimma and Jhimma 2 are little more than a series of bad choices dressed up as "empowerment." If you're hoping for a meaningful story about self-discovery, these films will only frustrate. And luckily, Jhimma 2 hasn't made it to an OTT platform yet-hopefully, it stays that way!
