Summary
Reviewers say 'Jogi' is a poignant film about the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, exploring themes of friendship and political corruption. Praised for its emotional impact and Diljit Dosanjh's performance, the movie is commended for its gripping narrative and direction. However, some criticize pacing, logic, and subplots. The film's sensitive portrayal of the tragedy is both lauded and critiqued for not delving deeper into complexities.

Every character in the movie plays there role to brilliance .... Even the supporting cast specially mother of jogi.. she is just mind blowing ... coming to Diljit Dosanjh .. I think he is most underrated actor in bollywood because the level of acting he does in the movie is just amazing .. looking forward to see him in more bollywood movies ... movie is gripping , full of tension till last , and obviously emotional ride. From the starting of the movie it finds the path ... extra ordinary well directed first half by Ali abbas Jaffar .. can say loose grip in second half but acting level in the second half was just unbelievable.
A story revolving around a power hungry politician who goes on to eliminate Punjabi community post Indira Gandhi's assassination in Delhi. Watch how Jogi comes to their rescue risking his and his friends lives.
Writing of the film is to the point. I couldn't see any character which were portrayed had flaws. Hats off to the entire team of Jogi. Music or background score isn't top notch but keeps you engaging with the film.
I truly wished they had shown what happens to the main antagonist in end but that's just my curiosity.
I highly recommend everyone to watch this. I am not sure if the film ever released in theatres, but it deserves to be.

I must say that this movie took me by surprise. I didn't expect this movie to be that good.
This movie is based on true events, which took place during the mid '80s. Those were the times when many countries had racial and religious riots.
I wasn't aware of these bitter events that took place in India during the '80s, so it was so sad to see that the assassination of one human being, led people in attempting to take revenge and brutally ethnic cleanse one whole race from one particular country just because two members from their ethnic group happened to be the ones who assassinated their Prime Minister.
I think the cast did an excellent job and the movie was produced and directed perfectly, so this one deserves a perfect 10 stars from me as it's one of the best films I've seen in a very long time.
This is one film which is not to be missed and I would highly recommend it.. I recommend the dubbed in English version if Hindi/Urdu isn't your first language.

The biggest achievement of Jogi is that it depicts all characters as human beings--flawed and broken--but humans nonetheless. There are no knights in shining armours and no evil demons. Even the bad guys are not religious fanatics but political opportunists, depicting a reality that has played out far too many times in modern-day India. There have been better films on communal violence but very few as layered and as real as Jogi.
The film may be unpalatable for some given its realism and bold depiction of administration's complicity in violence against a community, but it is an important watch nonetheless, and a step forward for Hindi cinema.

This is an incident that the Indian government will never want anyone to tell. The story revolves around the killing of India Gandhi by her two Sikh guards and the aftermath. The systemic reaction from the government of India against the Sikh people.
The movie does not hold back, it shows the violence against the Sikh people, how the police supported goons by supplying them with ammunition to go out there and create chaos. Hit lists were made of which Sikh people need to be killed.
Pro hinduists using the situation to incite violence is nothing new to India, recently similar situations happened in Gujrat against Muslims.
From an acting perspective, solid performances from Diljit and Zeeshan, all the supporting cast were good to.
The sad thing is that the reality must have 100 times worse that what the movie depicts.
Expect a lot of Modi boys coming on a forum like this and giving this movie low scores to discourage people from watching this movie.
This is current face of India, everything else is just an illusion.
Thank god for streaming, I don't a movie like would be allowed to be shown on the big screens in India.
