Joram

I learned a lesson today that do not pay that much heed to overall imdb rating in general lol.

Although the movie's story was pretty simple and nothing breathtaking like we would crave for, but the direction and cimetography had been extra ordinary and captured the minute details that we foresee or ignore when thinking about the sacrifices that we are making as society in favour of progression and development.

My favourite scenes were how the team had captuted the subplot set in the train and iron mines. The train scene was especially good at noting down the very minute details like the toilet and a passenger asking the police officer about why the fan is not working. I could literally related to that lol.

The mines scene particularly showcased some amazing visuals of the humongous machinery. Metaphorism was at work here bringing life to the machines.

Overall a good slow paced movie and would recommend it 100% who are into slow paced realism. This film is filled with strong visuals which goes around our life. Definitely worth a watch.

I went for this movie as I couldn't get the tickets for an another movie (so much for marketing a movie :) But what did we just watch!!!! This must be the best ever Indian movie I have ever seen ever. This is the kind of movie I was waiting for, from Bollywood. Have we come of age? This HAS to be watched in theatres. This is Panchayat meets Kill Bill. Such storyline, I am suddenly proud of Indian Cinema. An extremely sensitive subject of Naxals has been chosen here, and the government's lust for development, leading to rapid decimation of our forests, ecology and all the good things which nature ever gave us. The entire theatre was silent, eerie silent the entire movie, on the edge, goosebumps. This is first ever moment I have seen Indian public just sitting quietly, not moving because we were so moved internally, almost for about 5 minutes after the movie finished. So this is the next movie after GOW & Rang de Basanti, in my my Bollywood hall of fame. Anyways this will not be sent by India for Cannes/ Oscars, but some random garbage from Bhansali or Karan Johar, as usual and embarrassing themselves internationally. Anyways, so this movie has to be seen. Don't go with small kids as there is gore at a few places. Also, what sorcery is this - I see people saying great things about this movie in other reviews but giving less rating? They don't want others to watch this movie? My rating is 20/10. And this is coming from someone who is allergic to Bollywood.

I found the film is very beautiful portrail of adivasi community and their own struggle. Although it has many layers of communication. It seems like all the Drama is happening real.

The thrill of Dasru feels real. It makes us think & question ourselves on many things like what is actually right? Who is at right side?. And whatever is happening for growth is it really worth it! Or all this is just a scam/ for Personal Benifit.

Despite of sensitive subject/Plot Director Devashish Makhija makes you hold and squeeze your seat throughout the film. By showing multiple thrilling events of Dasru.

I suggest people to watch this gem. It's amazing...

"Joram" is a gripping Indian Hindi thriller that navigates the intricacies of survival, justice, and revenge. Manoj Bajpai's portrayal of Dasru, a man framed for his wife's murder, is deeply compelling. His desperate journey from Mumbai to Jharkhand unfolds an intense tale of evasion and revelation.

Mohd Zeeshan Ayub's portrayal of Police Inspector Ratnakar adds a relentless pursuit element, showcasing the cat-and-mouse chase between law enforcement and Dasru. However, it's Smita Tambe's portrayal of the ruthless politician Phulo Karma that steals the show. Her portrayal is commanding, leaving a lasting impact through her nuanced expressions and intensity.

"Joram" not only delves into the personal quest for justice but also addresses larger societal issues, such as the conflict between development and the destruction of natural resources. The film touches upon the plight of farmers selling their lands to industries and subsequently facing the challenges of urban labor.

Intriguing, intense, and thought-provoking, "Joram" captivates audiences with its stellar performances and its exploration of pertinent social issues. Manoj Bajpai's powerful presence, coupled with Smita Tambe's exceptional acting, makes this film a must-watch. It's a testament to the potential of cinema in reflecting and addressing significant societal debates.

Well made film. I Missed the film at Mumbai film festival but good to see it in theatres.

Good direction acting production and post. Must watch. The film used a good balance between loudness and silence which is rarely done in Bollywood movies.

Films like this should come from India and get international acclaim, hopefully more will come out.

Probably the story lies between fiction and documentary and in half an hour of watching I was immersed into the story and became a part of it. We can't say the things told in the film may have actually happened. Never know.

It must be watched on the big screen.
