Jana Gana Mana

Watched JGM on Netflix in orig. Malayalam w/Eng. Subs. Several audio portions are in multiple languages like Tamil / English / Kannada.

10 Stars for the important, disturbing mainstream current issues that are "loudly" propounded by Prithviraj as Adv. Aravind in the courtroom scenes ... with the 7-8 star rider that the courtroom scenes are far removed from actual courtroom reality! This is not important if you watch the film as fiction as indeed the Disclaimer proclaims. Nowadays one is used to expecting heavy doses of realism in Malayalam films so in that sense the courtroom scenes are a deviation.

JGM is a crime thriller that starts with a murder of a lady professor. The narration has multiple layers veering towards the convoluted and nothing is prima facie what it appears to be.

I was a tad confused with so many languages in the orig. Audio. In my understanding the film is set in Bangalore where Tamil and Malayalam are also commonly spoken.

As its a thriller, it would not be right in this review to spoil the suspense for other viewers. Suffice it to say that the film is very watchable and rivetting especially once the courtroom dramatics begin.

The story is all about depiction of what is happening in today's India. Screenplay was very good. Then and there lag is there but overall the movie is good. Actors acted so well. Movie exactly shows how police, press and the judiciary system in India brainwash lower class people. Young people must watch the movie.

The characters in this film are solid, each and everyone nailed it to the core. The first half starts a bit confusing but later it catches up the pace once Suraj appears on the screen, to an extent he stole the show with a decent interval bang. The second half of the film is terrific, Prithviraj was just tremendous. The last 45 minutes of the movie are an absolute treat with lots of enormous twists and turns. More than all that this film discusses the current political situation in India and most events that take place in this movie is based on true incidents. A film that I personally believe that should be watched at least once.

Jana Gana Mana, directed by Dijo Jose Anthony...

Penned by Sharris Mohammad, Bank Rolled by Magic Frames and Prithviraj Production

Starring Prthviraj , Suraj Venjaramood, Mamta Mohandas in lead roles...

Story starts with a murder of a college lady professor of a reputed college and ACP SAJJAN KUMAR played by Suraj Venjaramood takes up the case and unevils the mystery forms the rest part of the movie...

Verdict of the Movie: Blockbuster 5/5 ⭐

1) A story highlights the ruthlessness of the politics which we observe in our daily news but still its not changing....???

2) How the lure of power, generates criminals in the politics thereby changing the definition of a politician and its duties...???

3) When justice is meant to be equal to all then why its not practicable....???

4) Why people who looks upon judiciary as the epitome of justice, comes in the street and take laws in hand??

The movie throws many questions for which somewhere down the line we may or may not have answers but one thing can be said for sure

" Till the time law is a puppet is in the hands of the barbarians the hope of justice will never lighten up"

Talking about the story, screenplay and dialogues- Sharris Mohammad had exemplary penned down the movie as there was unexpected twists, goosebumps moment..Not even a single moment of lagness being experienced

Dijo Jose Anthony classic direction followed by the bunch of talented artists like Prthviraj,Suraj Venjaramood, Mamta Mohandas, Vincy

Suraj Venjaramood as ACP had stolen the show. Prthviraj entry in 2nd half and his performance as a lawyer was astounding...

Mamta Mohandas, Vincy were done 💯 justice to their characters...

Jakes Bejoy music and BGM energized the movie...

Overall a theatrical experience movie.

Sharpest dialogues , remarkable direction and collective performances , each and every actors and actress show their worth Vincy Aloshious , shari , mamtamohandas and many new comers all did a fantastic job ,excellent direction by Dijo Jose Antony

Suraj Venjaramoodu is brilliant ,outstanding performance and Prithviraj Sukumaran is awesome , tremendous performance !

Technical side is top notch ,back ground score is effective and songs are good !
