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.

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.

A must watch suspenseful movie,especially prithivis court room part. You will find many things similar around you that is happened in the present and past.

The movie discussed many relevant and real issues of present day India directly and indirectly. Prithviraj comes back with a strong performance after a short break along with the always consistent Suraj. The dialogue delivery in court scenes were good enough to have goosebumps again and again. A must watch movie.

The second film by Dijo Jose Antony and he has improved a lot. But one of the things that can be noticed in his first feature Queen itself is that he wants to talk about important things and let the emotion of it spread to the audience and it should be conveyed to every single one of them. He's ready to sacrifice some logic and reality for these emotions. He makes it a point to present these issues on the nose and as dramatic as possible. Queen became a big commercial success for such a small movie even though the critics saw all the problems that were definitely in it. But still, it can't be denied how successful it was at what it set out to be.

Jana Gana Mana works very similarly in that regard. There are many points in the film which are exaggerated just for the dramatic effect and unless you are able to be accepting the emotional side and not the real world logic, especially in the courtroom scenes, the movie will be a disappointment.

Despite all these issues, the movie is grounded in almost every other aspect. The top-notch acting, specifically by the two leads and the plot itself makes it a compelling watch. Touching upon all the important issues faced by the common people in the country, touching too many nerves due to which the movie ended up banned in a lot of North Indian states, the movie is a bold statement about the state of the country.

The way the movie moved through the two protagonists through the two halves was very cleverly done so that the paradigm shift really allows the audience to see the broader picture. The way they made the audience root for things is really commendable as it shows exactly how the world works and why it shouldn't be that way. The movie is made in a way so that its messages can be reached everywhere and also makes sure to teach them to be able to question things. For a movie that is gonna be labelled as something that doesn't consider the audience intelligent enough to comprehend everything unless spelt out, it makes the exact case of why the audience around the world isn't really collectively intelligent and even those who ask for the intelligent narration won't be able to deny those facts.

There would be a kind of hate that would be easily faced by this movie. The way the movie dealt with those political aspects is enough for the filmmakers to be proud about it due to the truth in the fiction.
