JNU

This movie probably has the best casting that I have seen in a very long time. It has some known names but the unknown names shine more as they have completely moulded themselves in the character that they are playing on screen. This movie accurately follows the chronology of major events that happened in the university from late 2000s and 2010s.

The rot that exists at a national university within the heart of the nation's capital has been truthfully represented in the movie. To imagine that a particular group will go to any length and use anything at their disposal to further their ideology is astounding. A surprise cameo by a real life hardcore member of that ideology, which is in a colour that you wouldn't expect, will most definitely surprise you. There are two more short appearances of famous journalists who have now been relegated to youtubers. Watching their meltdowns on screen is thoroughly enjoyable. Ravi Kishan and Vijay Raj should have been given more screen time as they played their roles to perfection. This is a must watch movie in the theatres.

The Movie shows how the reality of all dramas and act of socialism amd equality is manipulated behind the scenes. How in reality mass manipulation and movement is carried out. Through educational institutions and academic scholars false interpretations and narrations are spread to convince youth and educated people to fall for ideological and political gains. How educational machinary and privileges of institutions are used in disguise to spread and protect particular communal and political ideology and safely criminalise for personal and political glory. This is actually the story of many Government educational institutions and some private run too, where by clever and well organised manipulation of reservations, student privileges and youth mind fragility is used to make mass support, create national level news and virality on public platforms and social media in order to create narrative support throughout the nation of some personal and political agendas. This exposes a dark reality which modern society is facing through free media available at every hand in social media thirsty generation combined with easily manipulable tools of educational institutions.

Just a parallel reality based movie with facts twisted to divide fellow Indians before elections. No script, just pushing hateful narrative. Bringing in Urvashi Rautela for that character shows how serious the producers of this movie are about its genuineness. The cinematography was just so expensive and unworthy. The most nauseous part was the whole film pushing up a propaganda, making such angry faces and trying to convince the audience. It reminded me of the scene from Asur web series where the protagonist is surprised about how the criminal is so convinced of his own delusions and philosophies. Overall, a big waste of money, time and talented artists. Top flop.
