Awesome is the Word!
xrionitx6 March 2022
Nagraj P Manjule, has yet again delivered a phenomenal splendid job with this movie 'Jhund'. This is the reality of the 80% of india's population. They are in majority but suppressed and intentionally ignored by the actual minor in population which is the rest upper class.

This is the factual drama brought on screen with the help of a real story. And it is not just a documentary style film, it has meaning in each and every scene! All the scenes in the movie are very impact full, rampant and those hit hard on you!

Especially the ending scenes like when the guy has some burden of crimes, and unlawful conscience, but he was baptized on screen when he finally comes out clean from the metal detecting machine door leaving the illegal stuff behind. That scene brings tears. Such an emotional, meaningful hard hitting scene. Similarly the wall of disparity and the real huge wall in the area which they cannot cross being minorities and from slum, but in the end, with their capabilities and talent they not just crossed the wall but they Flew over it! That scene again bring Goosebumps!

Kudos to the director for such a masterpiece. And this must not be a subject to resent especially from only the upper class, just because the minorities are being highlighted and Dr. Ambedkar and Ambedkarites have been displayed with enormity. And they rate it intentionally low. That is shallow heartedness.

Superb!! "Jhund nahi, team kahiye"
prathameshbarde5 March 2022
I wish I could describe in words what a fantastic film Jhund is!! If you are thinking whether or not to go for it, watch it right now. It is totally a big screen experience. The direction, music, cast, performances are all top notch. Nagraj Manjule is an absolute legend! Now, it is up to the audience to make this a huge hit!! It totally deserves nationwide attention.

One Of The Best I have seen till date
manishbharambe5 March 2022
Simply exceptional, outstanding and Masterpiece ..no words left to praise this flick... Nagraj Manjule is one the best director of Marathi industry who directed a real content social drama in very simple way that proved his worth to Indian Cinema

Bollywood should learn from regional industry as there are many such directors in the India. One tight slap to those bollywood directors gang or camp.

Amitabh Bacchan is great of ll times but Nagraj Manjule showed all actors at same level in the film as script demands. This is a Must WATCH film.

Also i am surprised to see negative review about the film. Not sure if they really saw it or just want to dAmage the good content cinema. There should be some reason big actors or good director praising this flick. Something to learn for those big budget movie directors on how to make A film in limited budget with good script or content.

All the way Manjule Show
Rish_tweets5 March 2022
The movie starts with typical sports template & first half is fast paced as well as quite hilarious.

Bachchan is just pitch perfect & Kids have done a fab job. Cinematography, BGM & Production values are great.

Manjule's direction is quite good. He wants to touch many points & this doesn't give opportunity to soak into the moment hence emotional scenes lack the impact.

Film is thought provoking & needs to be watched !!!

Cast and class
iamesam5 March 2022
I love the choreography, love the way director filmed all the cast, screen time is perfect for each cast, special thing about movie is message that we all ignore in our country, another side of India which No-one even bothered to look at .

Crossing the wall is strictly prohibited
magadalwarmayur5 March 2022
Nagraj Manjule asks you to watch his film,We pay for the ticket and watch the film,then he slaps you in the face. From his debut film fandry followed by Sairat now zhund every film of his deals with some kind of social issues in very unconventional way and it creates lasting effect.

In this film the hero is kids who have nothing to lose yet everything to lose and how they struggle to achieve a good life and how it the society keeps failing them.

The camerawork by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti is a sight to behold The music by Ajay Atul is Great. Amitji did a great job but Nagraj dosent let his off screen persona trouble the film. As i said it before The leading man may be Amitabh Bachchan but the hero is someone else.

In the last shot of film a wall is inbetween airport and slum as flight takes off over it. This one separates the Mumbai airport from another slum area. On the wall there is a warning that sums up the film "Crossing the wall is strictly prohibited"

Why people always appreciate sugar coated movie #masterpiece #jhund
yogalande5 March 2022
I don't know why this movie rated so low, because of actors are cast in movie is from non filmy background isn't it?

I really loved the way they portrait every single frame and every single line in it.

Nagraj anna you are the one who showing us teaching us what actual it is, and background music of ajay atul just awesome please go to the theatre and watch this master piece.

Truth & Humanity
atul_kamble6 March 2022
Nagraj Manjule clearly showing the two sides of society. The wall between them is to be crossed and film portrayed aligned to football. Most importantly it speaks about struggle of slum children's, acceptance of society. Film starts with visualising 'gutter' - naali ends with aeroplane and spirit.

All the actors are seems real. Amitabh Bacchan made Jhun Journey peaceful to eyes. Comedy Scenesare much better during a first football match.

Supporting character Babu has great timing at speech.

If chance is given everyone can prove themselves.
kamblesp5 March 2022
This is a true based story of slum soccer, slum area children get training from the trained teacher and prove themselves as the best players. This simple story is shown with ground realities by the director. Nagaraj's previous movies in Marathi have also shown the unnoticed society and their struggle for living. He has changed the language of cinema in India, previously such characters and scenes were rarely available in the bollywood movies. Jhund is totally different than masala movies ,it may not get box office success but it will definitely teach a lesson of equality which was taught by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.

Definition of content!
Biswas_7 March 2022
Nagraj manjule , the man behind Sairat, has made his debut in Bollywood and he's announced his coming with a bang.

Jhund is not exactly a sports drama. It's actually a social film with sports in it. This film deals with a group of slum dwellers with a dark future who are rescued by an old coach named Vijay who trains them to become good football players but in turn , his main motive becomes to free them from their shady deeds and bring peace amongst them and secure a bright future for them. However, even after they do get into the sport, their dark pasts come to haunt them and not only that, their status in society too becomes a hurdle in moving forward. This story follows their struggle to get out of their shady deeds and ultimately make it to the big world tournament.

The casting is spot on! It's 100 times better to cast guys who genuinely look and act like slum dwellers rather than make a Ranveer singh to look like a slum dweller in gully boy . The Jhund boys have given a terrific performances giving us a realistic indian slum feel to their accent and behaviour.

The terrific speech given by Bachchan Saab at the court room is a highlight. Almost reminded me of Arshad warsi's speech from Jolly LLB.

The films length is the issue. The 2nd half spends too much time in showing the detailed journey of the Jhund guys struggling to get a passport and this is where the film almost stops to move and you keep looking at your watches as to how long the film is left. Another negative could be the portrayal of that college sexy girl who first oozes for the college boys but then starts oozing for Ankush the Jhund guy after he wins a match against her team. Typical nibbi. Also that match between Jhund team and college team is a typical cliche one.

Overall, these negatives should not affect your viewing experience. A film made for the audience of the highest class but should be watched by all. Especially the lower caste people should watch this, it would inspire them. Heard this film's collection is too low. It had to be!! If audience think they are matured and then say "Pushpa is content" and reject films like Jhund in theatres...then I must say indian audience is a laughable "Jhund" of clowns.

Too long is icing on cake
jeshyammore6 March 2022
Excellent movie.. Never feels seeing a movie.

Natural movement, natural emotions.. Amitabh Bachhan is in total control.

Avoided scene of violance for ex.angry man.. People says it's too long, but it's for those who are using stop watch.

Never felt seeing watch through entire movie... Simply great.

You will get diamond only in the coal mine.
sameersamrat-351437 March 2022
Movie has a great plot and teaches us ,if we take step towards slum areas and will try to educate them , let them play the sports ...we will get diamonds from out there. Throughout this movie I noticed one thing... almost every elite class has problem with them because they got stereotypes mentality. Grow up ! Man, they are human too,don't hate on the basis of colour and their livelihood. If you see talent over them...let them try. They will be proud of country.

NO one born with talent we have to earn it
suyashkmbl6 March 2022
Basically movie is showing reality of India like talent isn't depend on caste or money and people who live in slums can also show their talent if they would have same opportunity.
