Jai Ganesh

It is a classic example of being misled by a movie title. With a name like this, you would expect a mythological or devotional movie, whereas it is an investigative thriller.

This movie is about a brilliant but handicapped cartoonist and ethical hacker who works as a designer in a media firm. He helps the police find a kidnapper using his talents.

The title of the movie comes from the superhero cartoon series he develops, named Jai Ganesh. The story may not be unique, but it keeps you engaged throughout its entire runtime. The thriller elements are well-packaged, keeping your eyes glued to the screen to find out what the next revelation will be. The way he connects the dots to find the kidnapper or the kid is well-written.

It is an Unni Mukundan show, and he performs really well, demonstrating that given good characters, he can pull off any role. The other actors lend support to the main character and have done a decent job.

The music is a big letdown, with not a single number working in its favor. Even the background score is underwhelming. The police are depicted as mere puppets, knowing nothing about solving the case and relying entirely on this outsider, which is far-fetched. But it doesn't really hamper your viewing as you can take that with a pinch of salt.

If the movie had a title more true to its story and genre, it could have worked wonders. I really enjoyed it as it is a good thriller and can be watched with your entire family. #pranureviews #JaiGanesh #JaiGaneshReview.

The film Jai Ganesh, is a cinematic work belonging to the thriller drama genres and was directed by Ranjith Shankar.

The narrative is focused on Ganesh, a young disabled man. The subject is wheelchair-bound due to paralysis of both lower limbs. He is combatting his disabilities. He is employed in a online news channel as a designer. It is evident that he possesses a high level of expertise in the domain of cyber hacking. He provided assistance to a renowned legal advocate in a case pertaining to the manufacture and distribution of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. This assistance involved the procurement of crucial evidence, a task which was executed without the need to disclose his identity. He is also an enthusiast of cartoons, a pastime which he has cultivated over time. He developed a superhero cartoon series under the title of 'Jai Ganesh'. A publishing company has expressed interest in the cartoon series, and has indicated its intention to publish it. The cartoon series is distributed via an application that boasts a plethora of features. It has been observed that the phenomenon is gradually gaining traction among the younger population. In pursuit of a novel narrative, he encountered information pertaining to a series of robberies. Consequently, he submitted this intelligence to the police. The individual responsible was apprehended by law enforcement authorities. Subsequently, it became apparent to Ganesh that the police had erroneously apprehended an innocent individual, and that the actual perpetrator was still at large. The individual in question has exhibited signs of psychological distress in relation to this matter. The subject has only one friend, a nine-year-old child named Ayan. He is the son of the Member of the Legislative Assembly, Prashant Puthran. On the night of his birthday party, Ayan was abducted by an unknown individual. It is noteworthy that Ganesh is the sole witness to the abduction. The establishment of a special team by the police force signalled the commencement of an investigation. It was only with the assistance of the Ganesh police that the perpetrator was almost identified. The individual in question has been identified as Mohan Selvaraj. He has challenged both the police and the Member of the Legislative Assembly in a public forum. It is evident that the deceased's daughter succumbed to the effects of contaminated air, a factor that has been identified as a contributing cause of death. The residence of the family under discussion is situated in close proximity to the Skandapuram plastic manufacturing facility. It has been alleged that corruption took place within the plant, with the MLA being implicated in the incident. It is evident that Mohan Selvaraj is seeking retribution against the MLA by orchestrating the kidnapping of his son. Mohan committed suicide before reaching the police. Further information pertaining to the child is pending. Subsequently, Ganesh initiated an investigation with the help of police cyber team into the web activities and IP address of the perpetrator. He has identified several locations. However, it is evident that positive results cannot be achieved in the absence of a foundation. Evidence suggests that the connections of certain tea shops, sound box shops, food delivery services and IT parks are evident in the IP address. Mohan has already scheduled a Zoom live session to take place in the room where the child is being held. Ganesh initiated an investigation, adopting an individual approach. It was determined that the information contained within the IP address was not from Kakkanad, but rather from Kaloor. Following a considerable amount of effort, the child was located in a soundproof room of a company located in the Info Park in Kaloor.

The narrative was adequate. The text is riddled with inconsistencies and lacks coherence in certain sections. The direction provided was satisfactory. Furthermore, the performances delivered by the cast were of a sub standard. The cinematography and musical scores are of a high standard. The work is not considered to be of a particularly high standard, but it is regarded as being of some interest and is therefore worthy of a one time watching.

First of all, the film was okay to watch, however, not that exhilarating but it maintained 2023 film, Vela's pacing. Some say clues were simple, but often to connect them and to make it sensible is what defines this specific genre, like the Professor T, tv-series. A thing I liked about the film was that Jomol was brought back, someone should have taken that initiative years ago. It was a very appreciative thing, and I hope to see her more. Thing's I didn't like, the promotion interviews, I heard him saying he had chances to go into Hindi films, and he didn't choose it. I believe, he has to cut back on building a superstar image, and be just an actor, cause at that he has been doing well, but taking the other idiotic path, and that too by won't help him. Second, the negative image, and whatever he himself and others are trying to make him, a semi-militant religious figure, I have seen posts were people are asking to not support releasing his films at certain places due to those reasons, it is going to be bad for him, if it is not stopped. Like pouring oil to fire, some are saying this is a super hero film like his previous film that was based on religion, while the truth is, it is about super hero complex, and finding meaning of life through it. He has to follow Vineeth Sreenivasan's diplomatic style around these matters. Third, story inconsistency, if the police knew the person, they could have done what all cinematic police would do, so that did not sit well with me. Character depiction, he himself hasn't accepted his fate, and that is the root of his anger, but to enhance his superstar image, he made the statement he has accepted his situation and others have not. That kind of meddled with the narrative, and it wasn't needed at all. Otherwise, it's a passable film. Since, there were 3 films that released together, I would also like to mention here what I thought of the other two ones as well, and what I felt the overall state of them were. Varshangalkku Sesham, was a film that it's first half did not connect with me, and the fact that Kalyani was included made it very, very cringey. Though, Vineeth saved the film through the second half with his creative script writing, especially through placement of elements and what would reels feeding audience would like to see. Overall, the second half felt like an attempt to save the film at any cost, but it was enjoyable. Moreover, it showcases Vineeth's deeper understanding of human and social psyche, even though he hasn't openly revealed about it, his works ascertain it. I loved how he trolled the Big Boss screaming star and an anchor who usually brings that energy, the fact that there are sane souls who can do it, makes me feel calm. I liked Shaan Rahman's acting and role, and want to see him in more films, it seemed like he has a talent for it. I liked Dhyan's and Pranav's acts as oldies rather than their depiction of younger selves, cause the vibe seemed more natural. Pranav consistently reminded me of Bharat Gopy, more than Murali Gopi to an extend that reminded me of Jagathy's dialogue in Yoddha, where he says his mother did not give him "tea".... Dhyan's almost crying scene reminded me of how Mohanlal mocked Sreenivasan's character in Udayanaanu Tharam, I felt like there was some sort of truth revealing there, and an unintentional sarcasm. About, Avesham, I felt a better title would have been "the good goon/goonda" like "good unni," and I believe without the last sequence, the film would have been a box-office flop if people where there to seriously criticize such a silly film. It did not have any solid value base, like a strong internal dynamics or that internal setup between characters like in Romacham, cause in it story was said from that substrate, and I believe that is what made people connect with it. Aavesham is based on an unbelievable character arc, loose consequences, and background story, though it exudes a sort of freedom, and could be considered as a story of a goon who goes through a mid-life crisis and is always seeking recognition, and in this it is trying to identify with youths, but that is a stretch that the film isn't making but could have. If they want, they can capture on that tread and make sequels like Munna Bhai MBBS. Fahadh has already proven that he is the king of depicting eccentric characters, so nothing special there, he delivered what was expected of him, but I wish to see him not typecasted. The only thing that I felt curious was the Ambaan character, and he strongly reminded me of Baiju Ezhupunna. However, the fact that there is a growing fan base for FaFa in North India as well is undeniable, among all the other Malayalam actors who have been in multilingual films, I believe he is the only one that excites them as well, and could be called as a pan-Indian star in the real sense. Overall, these 3 films felt like they were just passable, and since it was three different genres, people did have the opportunity to see whatever they felt like. The box office numbers also made me wonder how people are finding money to see them all three. Somehow, there is a steady flow of wealth despite the inflation and lack of quality jobs and pay.

The movie is well made with very good acting by Unnimukundan. Got a good story line and.highlight the present political status. Best example for a corrupt system. Well taken. The police force tend to show their impatience. But at the end , it is a happy ending. A very good family entertainer. A good message to the corrupt system. Hope the politicians will learn some lessons from such movies. Or they will perish as the time passes. Need such movies to high light the corrupt political system. There are few lapses in the authenticity of the cyber data analysis etc which you need to forget as it is a movie.

This is what all movies should aspire to be, and yes, I can say that for many other great movies but I believe this is one of, if not the best example of art in movie form as it presents a good story, great action and phenomenal acting from actor unnimukuntan.

A well written and executed movie. Great performance by Unni and the whole team. It was very engaging and our whole family loved it! A must watch in theatres.

There are some groups degrading this movie because unnimukuntan against terrorist,he is believed in hanuman and he is a true nationalist.

This is another gem from malayalam film industry.
