This film is absolutely stunning. The acting is not just good; it's honest, raw, and captured with breathtaking precision. The storyline skillfully entwines four unlikely characters in a mesmerizing tapestry, creating a striking and unforgettable narrative. The film adopts a documentary-style approach, immersing the audience in the vivid sights of Varanasi. The cinematography is so immersive that it transports every viewer to the heart of the city, creating a collective experience as if we were all present together. This distinctive filmmaking style is unique, exquisite, and raw. This is unequivocally a must-watch film, an experience that will leave an indelible mark on your cinematic sensibilities.
Highly recommended! This is a movie about love and hope, which are ultimately bound by religious and societal tensions. How one's place in society carves their destiny and overpowers their hopes and desires. The movie is film in the city of Varanasi in India in real life. This gives the viewer an intimate sense of the bustle, clutter, chaos, and charm of the city, which adds a realistic dimension to the plot. The actors' poignant performances made me very emotional and touched by the plight of the main characters. The plot is interesting and unexpected and both the acting and the story line made me watch the movie several times.
Terrific performance by Muzafar Khan . A great depiction of the city Varnasi by Ritesh sharma. A must watch. Meghna mathur, Sivan Spector too give good performances. I loved how the movie evolved. Films like these open our eyes to lives led by people in different corners of the world. Lovely sound design and cinematography. Some of the shots just blew my mind. Everything is shot from a distance therefore you see the characters as well as the life around them. The film has may wide shots wich makes it very different experience. Every frame has its own story to tell and hence this would be a film that would be strongly recommended.

This movie covers the untouched parts of Banaras with all essential elements that should have been shown previously apart from ghats, galees, cuisine, etc.
Watching 'Jhini Bini Chadariya' is like recalling the glimpse of Anawar ka ajab Kissa, Masaan, Liar's Dice, Chandani Bar. But having said that, the voice of movie- its story- is in its purest form.
Honestly, the movie leads to the possibilites in todays time on the backdrop of culture, profession and helplessness.
The frames and caputing of scenes are unique, the charcters are entirely different from each other. Muzaffar Khan does job without saying much.
The movie should be seen by cinema lovers wherever possible, although I hope it gets a proper release.

I had a good opportunity to watch Jhini Bini Chadariya online at NYIFF 2022.
Two love stories, two religions, two parallel worlds, a thread almost snapping between two fingers - all in a city of two cultural contrasts and extremes, Varanasi!
The ending sunk me. Actually, shouldn't so, for such horrors have become regular occurrences since decades and more so with the current dispensation.
Spellbinding sights and sounds of the religious city, some standout frames of winding staircases, prayers and the looms, and a spontaneous and vivacious performance by Megha, are the strongpoints of the film.
