Much Needed Applause & Watch

Gonna Fetch multiple accolades in the following years

On the Whole .. Tha. Se. Gnanavel Needs A Standing Applause for this film...

This movie is much needed movie which raises questions on police, custody murders and casteism. Nowadays, South India Cinema is giving us much better movies than bollywood.

Story was good, pacing and execution was also good but could have been little bit better, acting was also good (nothing looked fake or forced). Not adding songs in the movie was best choice, that could have ruined the movie. This movie was different than bollywood's legal case stories which have masala, songs and overacting.

Overall, will recommend this to everyone. You must give it a try.

I'm not a native tamil speaker but I had seen the film trailer which had intrigued me.

This film is what I call raw hitting. It hits where it hurts the cast did a great job the casting director did better job of finding such cast.

The direction of this film is very grounded it never feels like cliche so does the acting of all cast member.

The cinematography of the Film is very simple which gives it more of an indie film vibe .

As an Indian you should definitely watch this film because I haven't seen more important film than this in a decade.

Jai Bhim turned out to be a hard-hitting, raw and powerful court-room drama. The purpose of cinema is not just to entertain but also educate and empower the audience. The courtroom drama based movies are always engaging as the prosecutor and defendant both fight to solve the case with solid evidences and innumerable witnesses.

Bollywood Films like "Damini", "Jolly LLB","Talvar" "Rustom", "Pink" or even "Section 375" have been immensely successful in keeping the audience engaged with impeccable dialogues and fantastic screenplay but what makes Jai Bhim different is the beautiful message on morality and equality of a tribal woman who fights for the justice of her husband.

Jai Bhim is based on 1995 Habeas Corpus petition in which human right activist cum lawyer K. Chandru ( played by Suriya ), who takes up the case of Irular tribe couple (Rajakannu and Sengeni) where the husband is wrongly convicted by local police for stealing ornaments from village head's house.

As Jai Bhim opens, we see that cops segregating the prisoners based on their caste. Among all the caste, the tribal people becomes the easy target for the cops to clear the pending cases under the influence of their political head. We also see how Rajakannu, the main accused in the jewelry case, is forcibly taken away from his family. The film goes back in the flashback mode where life of the tribal couple is beautiful in the serene village where they hone the skills of catching rat for their bosses. As their life progresses, in one of the event Rajakannu and his brothers are caught for the crime which they did not commit. They go through extreme level of police harassment and torture which will be very hard to digest and is completely raw. Enter Chandra a.k.a Suriya who takes up the case when Sengeni narrates the entire incident and request to help find her husband who as per police, has been absconding from the jail.

Jai Bhim is one such hair-raising film which is definitely difficult to digest as it gives you goosebumps and eye-popping experience. Screenplay is the hero with nail-biting moments. Art direction is fine while Cinematography is excellent. Suriya is a knight in shining armor. Watch out for him in the second half when he questions the witnesses in the courtroom. It is unforgettable performance which should be lauded for its sheer brilliance. Among the actors - Manikandan and Lijomol Jose are mind-blowing with their natural performances. Prakash Raj does well as IG.

Jai Bhim is an experience that needs to be lauded for its impeccable direction, electrifying performances and beautiful message. Excellent 4/5.

Jai Bhim is real. No doubt about it. A real story with a bit dramatization and gripping narratives, that makes you engaged through the runtime.

Jai Bhim is brutal. Yes, the horror of stereotyping people. It bought to screen the fearful emotions in caste ridden society, breaks the heart throughout the event.

Jai Bhim is thoughtful in the sense that it will keep you thinking about who is really the culprit in today's society. Finally it will gives you a silver lining throughout the dark episode but that is highly desirable in today's society of India. The film progresses as an intellectual war between constitutional force and the unconstitutional surpassing caste creed and divisons.

Now coming to the movie, it's a simple story of low caste family who seeks justice. Suriya plays the role of a dedicated lawyer. He works for upliftment of the downtrodden and provides justice. He plays his part well, no nonsense behavior normally done by the protagony of south movies. The antagony is well represented. Means he is perfect outwardly but a devil inside. This depiction of antagony and his tactics impressed me by far. The movie well maintains the thrill throughout, scenes moving fast disclosing the secrets one by one. The truth finally reveals, justice being served to the victims and the constitution honored, just like a ray appearing in the dark world of cruelty and corruption. Prakash Raj is good to watch esp in Positive role. The BGM is of heightened feel, raising the depressive tones to positive vibes. It is a positive themed movie with a strong pessimistic presence.

The title Jai Bhim actually refers to the respect towards Ambedkar from Marxian viewpoint. It was he who opposed caste structures and left it all for greater good. But Jai Bhim doesn't prefer the footsteps of Ambedkar instead approach the social issues in legal way, with a Marxian bias. I shall always remember movies like Jai bhim and Ardh Satya regarding their stance against corrupt law practices. Jai Bhim is a well made scripted film but you will feel the dramatization a bit unrealistic which may feel a bit our of place. But in summary it's a worth of praise from Tamil industry.

A 90/100.
