Jhund

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 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 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.

The movie is masterpiece in all sense The slum actors are no lesser than the actual trained actors Each character is beautifully presented The music of the movie is apt I'm addicted to all the songs Amitabh bacchan sir is rock solid as always Nagraj manjule sir did the magic what he always do Ajay-atul sir matlab kya bole iss jodi k bare me Matlab ji culture RD Burman aur Kishore kumar ne banaya tha early to say but ajay atul is creating historical music Im happy that Bollywood is learning and making such a realistic movies and believing in such out of the box ideas And all haters who hate slums,poor and backwards they definitely gonna be spitting venom here So just ignore them and go and watch the movie this movie is lifetime experience Loved it.

The movie starts with typical sports template & first half is fast paced as well as quite hilarious.

Bachchan is just pitch perfect & Kids have done a fab job. Cinematography, BGM & Production values are great.

Manjule's direction is quite good. He wants to touch many points & this doesn't give opportunity to soak into the moment hence emotional scenes lack the impact.

Film is thought provoking & needs to be watched !!!
