Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey

Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey (Oh Win, Win, Win, Win) is a laugh riot that came out of nowhere. From the opening sequence, the film is clear in its ambition. To break open the systemic, sticky gender bias we all preserve in our daily lives. And from there, it goes deeper to flesh out related themes of domestic abuse, inequality, and matrimonial issues. And never does it stop pumping the humour while making statements about marriage and its typical workings. It's almost a satire but hits so hard that families watching this are bound to laugh out loud and then go back home to introspect. A wonderful cast doing a wonderful job is so rare and a laugh riot of this stature hasn't been done in the last decade in Malayalam movies.

This satire on the familiar theme, highlighting a very important issue stands out for incredible writing. Kudos to the team for using humor the best way possible without taking away the seriousness of the core issue. Jayabharathi (Darshana Rajendran) hailing from a patriarchal family, is raised without any freedom, sacrificing her choices at each phase of her life. Even her marriage to Rajesh (Basil Joseph) is not her decision. All her life, she only had the men to decide for her, never asking for her opinion. When her husband pushes her to the extreme, her retaliation is what sets this movie apart big time.

As serious the main plot is, the screenplay constantly throws stand out scenes that are high on entertainment. The humor works like a gem and in my show itself, we just kept clapping and hooting non-stop. The pace does get slow in the third act but the climax is rewarding. Both Darshana & Basil Joseph come out with laudable performances, firmly aided by the supporting cast. I wouldn't say it went over the top because those scenes alone were an asset.

JJJJH starring Darshana Rajendran in the lead and directed by Vipin Das is a clever laugh riot that looks like a spiced up and more cinematic version of "The Great Indian Kitchen" and deals with a highly pertinent and disgusting problem in our society. Special mention to the maker for choosing to stand with the protagonist all along instead of whitewashing the toxicity and two-faced behavior of her parents and in-laws. A group of fresh faces give hilarious performances along with the ever-reliable Basil, Asees Nedumangadu, Manju Pillai, Noby and Aju Varghese. DOP Bablu gives some fresh coloring to the outskirts of Kollam. Ankit Menon's music is fine even if the songs are unnecessary.

Must watch!

Movie is quite precise because situations of women in our country is abnormal that how they are treated from birth to death . If you've seen the movie, you must've known, that women face a lot of traumatize situations from her childhood like her education, marriage conflicts, low attaintion of her own family, after marriage situations and also her fighting spirit for emerging from traumas .

Director's vision was completely based on substantial reality of a woman's life .

Director have shown a criticized shame for those who thinks that woman is a Borden for her family . A scene where some relatives are crying at marriage fairwell .( A sympathetical situation with a unsympathetic manner)

Excellent movie.

Brilliant acting by everyone .

Become a big fan of darshana after watching this movie.

I always like her movies she has been in .. But this movie was whole new level.

Ppl giving 7/10 rating for this is so sad. Best Malayalam movie i have seen. Thought nothing will beat Malayalam comedy kilukam. But this movie , I was laughing my heart out late at night. Was worried my neighbors will make a complain laughing too hard late night LOL.

I guess, some male chauvinist won't like this movie . It is high time Keralites bring more movies like this that showcases life of women in kerala / india.
