Nagraj Manjule and Amitabh Bachchan's Jhund released in cinemas on March 4. Let’s see what the Janta has to say about the film!
Nagraj Manjule who also gave us the spectacular Sairat has brought us another amazing piece of storytelling, Jhund with none other than the living legend, Amitabh Bachchan. It's based on the life of Vijay Barse, a retired sports teacher who puts in immense effort to keep the children and young adults of the slum away from drugs and other malpractices. Instead, he makes them channel their energies into football and creates an NGO called Slum Soccer which allows children from the slums to form football teams and play against each other. It highlights how the kids of the slum live and go through these nitty-gritties of life.
It was such a delight to watch Amitabh Bachchan on the big screen after a while and see him portray such an important role and contribute to helping such a story reach the audience. The film is written and directed by the highly talented Nagraj Manjule and is produced by T-Series and Tandav Film. The music is given by the evergreen Ajay- Atul. It also has the dynamic Sairat duo Akshay Thosar and Rinku Rajguru lighting up the screen with their brilliance once again. And of course all the new talent in this film, Ankush Gedam, Babu Kshatriya, Jerico Robert, Raziya Kazi, Kartik Uikey, Sayli Patil, Allen Patrick, to name a few, playing crucial characters in the movie.
Let's see what the Janta has to say about Jhund!
Please do your self a favour and watch #Jhund on the big screen. #Nagrajmanjule is the bestest director in the country - he makes you cry, cheer, feel the pain, the euphoria and most importantly he makes you think of two Indias divided by a compound wall.
I didn't see any promos or trailers being promoted of the movie #Jhund but yet somehow my friend convinced me to watch it. And after lots of denial, I watched it and broooo kitni achi movie hai yaar. The cinematography, the sounds, the story, the twist and oh my Acting !!! Wow🌼
#Jhund is dhamaal ! Rousing narrative, superlative camera and most importantly, power-packed performances. Bonus : one of the most thrilling, entertaining on-screen sports match in the history of on-screen sports matches. Go watch !
Ankush Gedam's sister, in an interview, says - 'Ankush ne Swiggy Zomato se lekar caterers me plates dhone ka kaam bhi kiya hai' He is a representation of so many of our brothers and sisters in desparate need of just a stable job and dignity.#jhundpic.twitter.com/T2M52l6qKI
Take a bow @Nagrajmanjule for showing the country’s biggest festival THE AMBEDKAR JAYANTI 💙 which was sidelined by mainstream for obvious reasons.#Jhund must watch. 🎬😍 pic.twitter.com/EVRejS2xj7
Loved #Jhund. It uses sports as a metaphor to deconstruct the larger themes without being didactic. Instead of showing people from slums in a constant state of despair, it captures the human side with music, celebration, melancholy and everyday rhythm of existence. (1/n)

“It is your claim to equality which hurts them. They want to maintain the status quo. If you continue to accept your lowly status ungrudgingly, continue to remain dirty, filthy, backward, ignorant, poor, and disunited, they will allow you to live in peace... pic.twitter.com/MOzKh4Yso9
Overheard a woman in the theatre calling her father excitedly during the interval of #Jhund to tell him that Bhim Jayanti was being shown on the big screen.
What a joy it is to watch one of our own tell our stories
