Jogi starring Diljith Dosanjh was released on Netflix on September 16. Let's have a look at what the Janta had to say about the film!
Jogi is the story of how an ordinary man becomes a hero. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the story is set in the year 1984, Joginder aka Jogi (Diljith Dosanjh) resides in the Trilokpuri area of Delhi. His sister Heer (Charu Kumar), also lives in the same locality with her husband Tajinder(K P Singh) and their son Prab(Samarjit Singh Mahajan). After the fatal day of October 31, when the former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards, things totally turned upside down for the Sikh community. They were wrongfully subjected to hate crimes and had to fight for their survival. Such is the story of Jogi, who hatches a meticulous plan to save his community from getting killed.
Tejpal(Kumud Mishra), the MLA of Trilokpuri who only has the Lok Sabha elections on his mind, orders the massacre of the Sikh community under his constituency. Inspector Chautala(Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub) is expected to help the rioters with the massacre. But he definitely does not believe in following those gruesome orders and instead helps Jogi and his entire community who are seeking refuge in the Gurudwara to escape and go to Punjab which would be the safest place for them. But Inspector Katiyal aka Lali(Hiten Tejwani) an old enemy of Jogi, learns about this plan and what happens next forms the rest of the film.
An intense drama. Bit off & slow but Keeps you hooked throughout. #Jogi touches some raw nerves with facts & soul shaking scenes from 84 Sikh genocide. An outstanding performance by @diljitdosanjh. Best by any punjabi actor till date. Good camerawork & BGM.
Another below average content by Netflix #JogiOnNetflix. A nice story line got screwed by too much melodrama. With so much options on OTT this weekend, you can avoid #JogiReview and spent your time on others!
#Jogi on @netflix was going so strong in the first half but the flashback and the cringe dialogues that followed just ruined the whole emotion that the movie had built.
#jogi on @netflix is not for the faint hearted, for those who have no idea what communal riots are and what are the after effects of riots. How people pick whatever pieces are left behind and re build their lives from there on. Having witnessed and lived through the ghastly
Jogi is not just a movie rather it's a bitter reality which summarized the sad state of sikhs, perfectly presented what sikhs endured during 1984 and beyond. Tears in my eyes literally. Credit to netflix and entire cast plus Diljit was the perfect fit for the role of Jogi.
Just spent my evening crying to Jogi on Netflix and will never be okay because no film about 1984 has ever shown what happened in that way. I will never be the same. 🙏🏽
Just finished Jogi on Netflix. Such movies shouldn’t be judged on its entertainment value or the lack of it. It’s a spine chilling story of state and system’s complicity in the Sikh genocide of 1984.
Ended up watching #Jogi on Netflix,such a well made and important film.
Best thing is that it doesn't force you to take sides or hate someone (like few recent movies made on historical injustices do) while still being honest in showing the injustice done on Sikh community .
Really recommend everyone to watch Jogi on Netflix. Very moving. Very poignant. Very hard to watch but something we should watch, especially with your families.
Watched Jogi on Netflix and I had chills throughout. Reminded of how helpless we are rendered in the face of riots because of State complicity. And the State HAS been complicit in every communal riot ever in Independent India, irrespective of which government it might be.
