Featured reviews
The movie starts with typical sports template & first half is fast paced as well as quite hilarious.
Bachchan is just pitch perfect & Kids have done a fab job. Cinematography, BGM & Production values are great.
Manjule's direction is quite good. He wants to touch many points & this doesn't give opportunity to soak into the moment hence emotional scenes lack the impact.
Film is thought provoking & needs to be watched !!!

First, I just recently started to see movies from India (this is my 3rd) but what I do like about the ones I have seen are the strong, emotional performances by the actors to tell their stories, and there are a lot of stories in this one. Not knowing the culture, I don't know if there is any over-acting or excessive drama that you see in many American movies; regardless, this is very much worth seeing. I am a bit shock by the really bad reviews by some people that want to only judge. It's just a movie and an entertaining one at that. It's not propaganda. Forget judging and just enjoy the film.

Nagraj P Manjule, has yet again delivered a phenomenal splendid job with this movie 'Jhund'. This is the reality of the 80% of india's population. They are in majority but suppressed and intentionally ignored by the actual minor in population which is the rest upper class.
This is the factual drama brought on screen with the help of a real story. And it is not just a documentary style film, it has meaning in each and every scene! All the scenes in the movie are very impact full, rampant and those hit hard on you!
Especially the ending scenes like when the guy has some burden of crimes, and unlawful conscience, but he was baptized on screen when he finally comes out clean from the metal detecting machine door leaving the illegal stuff behind. That scene brings tears. Such an emotional, meaningful hard hitting scene. Similarly the wall of disparity and the real huge wall in the area which they cannot cross being minorities and from slum, but in the end, with their capabilities and talent they not just crossed the wall but they Flew over it! That scene again bring Goosebumps!
Kudos to the director for such a masterpiece. And this must not be a subject to resent especially from only the upper class, just because the minorities are being highlighted and Dr. Ambedkar and Ambedkarites have been displayed with enormity. And they rate it intentionally low. That is shallow heartedness.

Finally
India's wait for Oscar is over.
I saw this movie and I can proudly say this is a class apart movie which showcases reality and poverty in India. AB has acted amazing and others have also justified their respective role. This movie is about hidden potential in by lanes of our country. It's a must watch movie by one and all.

I don't know why this movie rated so low, because of actors are cast in movie is from non filmy background isn't it?
I really loved the way they portrait every single frame and every single line in it.
