Can't believe this is Maithili film!!!!!!

Strong script, effective screenplay, perfect background score, superb cinematography, brilliant Direction and stellar performances by the actors.

What a movie!!!!

Kudos to Nitin N Chandra and team for this marvelous film.

Expression of station master reminded Ashutosh Rana (from movie Sangharsh) and Anthony Hopkins (from Silence of the Lambs).

This is a must watch movie, there is no language issue as this available with English sub title also.

During watching the movie, you will never felt that this movie is in a regional language and shooter at a very interior area of Bihar.

If someone likes watching suspense thriller crime type of movies then he must watch this movie. This is a regional language film which is Maithili language and this film is not available in Hindi or English. I would still say that you must watch this film, it is not that difficult to understand Maithili language, you can watch it with subtitles. The film is about a traveler at Jackson Halt, a small railway station in Madhubani. You will have to watch the entire film to see who the passenger is, what happened to him and how. This movie is so good that I can compare it with movies like Drishyam, U turn, Ratasasan, Forensic etc.

The movie defines the genre of thrill.

From start it's gets into your nerves and make you keep guessing.

The actors under very closed environment has given the feel of full set. Durgesh Kumar with his expressions has nailed the role.

I might feel scared now visiting any passenger halt.

The screenplay and editing is very apt.100 marks for not going the Bollywood way.

You are a part of the new gen filmmakers, many expectations have met and many bars has been raised

One more national award is awaited for Nitin Chandra after Mithila Makan.

Nitin Chandra has done a excellent job .He should be praised for making such a movie. I hope he makes more such movies especially in Maithili language Kudos to you.

I am a movie buff. I am usually calm, but I like to be thrilled by entertainment. I watch too many movies, and this is the first time I watched a movie in my own language Maithili. I do not have speaking or written prowess but I have some understanding of the speech and dialect having always heard it while growing up. It is very good that filmmakers of regional languages are getting to showcase their prowess via the OTT revolution to reach out to people who will be proud to view content they can linguistically identify with. Glad I was made aware of this movie and the platform it is on "Bejod.in" , thanks to my uncle (pisaji/phoophaaji) Mr Ashish Neeraj. The platform isn't a subscription based app, but rather pay per view, so even if out of curiosity... we should also support regional language cinema. Coming to the movie Jackson Halt , directed by Mr. Nitin Chandra, the trailer was creepy and piqued my interest when it was released... because I like thrillers... the movie though, is much more than that. Yes, it is an atmospheric thriller but it also subtly makes commentary on a few things wrong with societal "norms". Of course if you watch too many movies and manage to recall a few... 3 particular pieces come to my mind.. "Baaishe Shraabon" (Bengali) ... where literature plays an important part, "NH10" (Hindi) ... where Anushka Sharma both stars and produces in a gritty tale about survivalism and "Black Water" (English) ... an Australian movie about limited characters in a limited setting and one person's ordeal to escape the horror. The movie despite being a thriller, talks about a few evils of society.. a few "norms" which should be avoided as people need to have a grown mindset now, but sadly are still confined by. To me, there are two things which really elevate the movie (though everyone involved does well)... the sound design and the superlative performance by Ram Bahadur Renu as the main antagonist. There are layers to the creepiness which get unveiled 2/3 into the runtime... making it so shocking as he is so casual about it. For people who may have trouble grasping the language, the movie has English subtitles; though I did not need them as the speech is fairly simple to follow for those aware of the language but still wary of regional dialects. The song at the end by Shloka is good , musically and lyrically. The protagonist played by Abhishek Nishchal goes through such a harrowing experience that you want him to win and win he does... but again, if you have seen enough movies and know the tropes, you will understand why there are still 5 minutes left in the screenplay (anything else stated will be a spoiler). All in all, if you are not "faint of heart", can "digest some mature ideas" , would like to see a movie which is "not a waste of time" and are not averse to the thriller genre... this should be watched.
