Watched the movie in Hindi. Won't say it's flawless, there is one gaping plot-hole and there are other goof-ups too but on the whole, it's an excellent attempt at a different kind of non-linear story-telling. The script is very cleverly written and that is the highlight of the movie. Like an initial scene of the movie is explained completely only in the last scene! The story unfolds spirally, layer by layer - stuff that you have seen previously, keeps getting newer meanings as the movie progresses. The movie's worth a watch to experience that narrative-style that's not common in Indian movies.
We often complain that good, meaningful cinema does not come out of India. We often praise content-based Iranian, French or Korean movies for their depth. There exists a Punjabi movie that surpasses those Iranian, French or Korean movies. Jaggi. It's a shining example of good cinema. Very true to the human condition.
A YouTube channel about OTT content highly recommended it so I decided to give it a try. After a long day, I started to watch it in bed, expecting balle-balle, sarso ke khet mein romance, Lamborghini, branded clothes, loud comedy and unrealistic action. I had thought I would stop watching it after 5 minutes and go to sleep. But right the first shot hooked me. I could not put down the tab until the movie got over.
Everything about it is brilliant - writing, direction, camerawork, editing, acting - you name it. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised how well the camera-crew has filmed whole scenes in one shot. The opening scene is a 5-minute long shot, the camera moves with the actors even as they are on a motorcycle. Acting is so good that it doesn't feel you are watching a movie, it feels like you are watching actual incidents captured on CCTV camera.
Writing this review is my attempt to make people aware of this movie. It's a pity that such gems go unnoticed.

Had I been a girl, I would be crying aloud right now. Since I'm not, I'm crying in my heart. It's because I just watched the Hindi-dubbed version of the movie 'Sapta Sagaradaache Ello - Side A'. Dil ko chhoo gaee yaar. This is how a love-story should be. A star-crossed love-story of Manu and Sonu. 😔
Casting, script, direction, editing and even the subtle symbology - everything was on point. No KGF, Pushpa like loud-action or phadakte hue dialogues. Common people, realistic story and yet so powerful. Do not miss it. Side B (part 2) will be released soon. And the trailer of that part, that came after part 1, already made me super curious. Manu, 10 years later, with weight put on, reunites with an emotionally shattered Sonu and a lot more stuff happening. Can't wait to watch it.
DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE.
