Jamun

After a long long time I had seen a fabulous movie.

The story of this movie is just amazing and we can relate to this story. Story is very natural and acting is also superb.

I wasn't having any expectations while watching Jamun, nor did I have any details of the movie but decided to watch the film only because of one man..Raghuvir Yadav. And my 90 minutes of investment paid off beautifully.

Jamun is a story of a middle class family who struggles to survive in this world. Raghuvir Yadav plays the father Jamun Prasad, who is struggling to for his daughter's marriage and his son is struggling to find his place and gets settled. Shweta Basu Prasad playing the daughter.

Jamun will leave you emotionally drained and with a lump in throat. Such a realistic portyal of the characters. Raghuvir Yadav and Shweta Basu Prasad both of them are stunning in their respective roles.

Gaurav Mehra derserves special mention as he has written and directed the movie beautifully. His earlier work SEAL which is a short film was also marvellous and this one is no different.

A must watch and a movie really well made.

This is just so very well played. Raghuvir Yadav is amazing as Jamun. Yet another movie, to expose complexities and restrictions in a typical Indian society. Emotional scenes are very well balanced. Not overdramatised but enough to shake your feelings. Characters are complex, realistic and are left to viewer's judgement, which is really fair.

Overall an interesting and touching story. Cinematography and direction are decent. You won't regret watching it.

The joy of discovering an unknown but well made film that's what I got when I watched this film which I discovered by accident and instinctively decided to watch. It has some very good performances - some of the best performances you would see. Shewta Basu Prasad is the best of the lot. She has a physical deformity(squint) to carry for this role and yet had to emote without ever going over the top. I haven't seen much of her work other than as child actress in Iqbal and Makdee and the brief role in Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota but going by all that I have seen I can say that she has a great future ahead. She is simply awesome. This also has Sunny Hinduja of the Family Man but his role isn't very important here though it has its own arc and he is very apt. Raghuveer Yadav is always a delight to watch. The story is good and very real. There are no frills and it touches you but just falls short of being excellent. It's simplicity is it's high point but that may have also been the reason for it being overlooked.
