I love the choreography, love the way director filmed all the cast, screen time is perfect for each cast, special thing about movie is message that we all ignore in our country, another side of India which No-one even bothered to look at .
Nagraj Manjule asks you to watch his film,We pay for the ticket and watch the film,then he slaps you in the face. From his debut film fandry followed by Sairat now zhund every film of his deals with some kind of social issues in very unconventional way and it creates lasting effect.
In this film the hero is kids who have nothing to lose yet everything to lose and how they struggle to achieve a good life and how it the society keeps failing them.
The camerawork by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti is a sight to behold The music by Ajay Atul is Great. Amitji did a great job but Nagraj dosent let his off screen persona trouble the film. As i said it before The leading man may be Amitabh Bachchan but the hero is someone else.
In the last shot of film a wall is inbetween airport and slum as flight takes off over it. This one separates the Mumbai airport from another slum area. On the wall there is a warning that sums up the film "Crossing the wall is strictly prohibited"

I don't know why this movie rated so low, because of actors are cast in movie is from non filmy background isn't it?
I really loved the way they portrait every single frame and every single line in it.
Nagraj anna you are the one who showing us teaching us what actual it is, and background music of ajay atul just awesome please go to the theatre and watch this master piece.

First, I just recently started to see movies from India (this is my 3rd) but what I do like about the ones I have seen are the strong, emotional performances by the actors to tell their stories, and there are a lot of stories in this one. Not knowing the culture, I don't know if there is any over-acting or excessive drama that you see in many American movies; regardless, this is very much worth seeing. I am a bit shock by the really bad reviews by some people that want to only judge. It's just a movie and an entertaining one at that. It's not propaganda. Forget judging and just enjoy the film.

Nagraj P Manjule, has yet again delivered a phenomenal splendid job with this movie 'Jhund'. This is the reality of the 80% of india's population. They are in majority but suppressed and intentionally ignored by the actual minor in population which is the rest upper class.
This is the factual drama brought on screen with the help of a real story. And it is not just a documentary style film, it has meaning in each and every scene! All the scenes in the movie are very impact full, rampant and those hit hard on you!
Especially the ending scenes like when the guy has some burden of crimes, and unlawful conscience, but he was baptized on screen when he finally comes out clean from the metal detecting machine door leaving the illegal stuff behind. That scene brings tears. Such an emotional, meaningful hard hitting scene. Similarly the wall of disparity and the real huge wall in the area which they cannot cross being minorities and from slum, but in the end, with their capabilities and talent they not just crossed the wall but they Flew over it! That scene again bring Goosebumps!
Kudos to the director for such a masterpiece. And this must not be a subject to resent especially from only the upper class, just because the minorities are being highlighted and Dr. Ambedkar and Ambedkarites have been displayed with enormity. And they rate it intentionally low. That is shallow heartedness.
