An Action-Packed Thriller with a Powerful Message...

[PopCulture_Vibe · 8/10 · 7 November 2023]

Jawan, directed by Atlee, is a must-watch for fans of Shah Rukh Khan and action-packed thrillers. The movie delves deeper into the corruption of the system and sheds light on some of the hidden facets of our daily lives. With its seamless integration of stunning CGI effects and a thought-provoking message, Jawan succeeds in captivating its audience from the very beginning.

The music, composed by Anirudh Ravichander, perfectly complements the movie's theme and elevates the character of Shah Rukh Khan, who fights against injustice in society and urges people to be wiser in their voting rights in the face of societal challenges.

The supporting cast does an excellent job of helping to shape the story, but it is Nayanthara who steals the show as an opposing force to Shah Rukh Khan's Azad. Their on-screen chemistry adds a captivating layer of complexity to the story, further enhancing the film's intrigue.

The villain, portrayed masterfully by Vijay Sethupathi, adds tension and an element of danger as the protagonist works to overcome obstacles and achieve his goals of encouraging people to look at society without prejudice towards wealth or social class, urging us to perceive all individuals as equal human beings.

Jawan is a movie that skilfully entertains and educates you about different aspects of society, making it a must-watch for all audiences. Whether you're a fan of Shah Rukh Khan or not, the film's action and thrills promise to deliver a gripping experience. Overall, Jawan is an action-packed thriller with a powerful message of social justice that promises to leave a lasting impact.

K & A

[wrdcwrdc · 8/10 · 15 September 2023]

K

The movie was amaazing the story and everything how its gone from the very vegining it was all action and amaaaazing and bever stoped the action from action to action ... but he should have focused more on the helping others and dont aim for that evil ... that time when he aimed for his cash ... and another point i didnt get it yet and its bad for his reputation when he go to marry that girl .. he did t purely liked her so what was the point ??! Other than that he was trully roben hood ... also it would have beeen much better if in the ebd the people helped him in critical situations.

A

Its more to the comedey side so i cant reaaaaly talk about it , but about the action and things how they happened i lost there .. they should have but some history or date much better ,,, and the music ohhhhh its from another world ,,, im as a male got shyed how are the girls ,, its a bit hard.

S R K G.O.A.T and that "Old man Logan" wow

[chawndro · 9/10 · 18 September 2023]

Jawan is one of S. R. K. Best; Swades, Chak De India top. SRK's dedication and hardwork at this age is unbeatable. Young actors must learn from SRK how hardwork and dedication come as responsibility and accountability towards fan and audience. Atlee directed well. And the look, attitude and character SRK had as father "Old Man Logan" simply amazing. I am a Hugh J fan from Wolverine series. But I wouldn't mind if they ever cast SRK as Old Man Wolverine, no doubt he will do amazing. Female lead actor Nayanthara was great, she fits the character and brings female cop to a serious level. Deepika was ok, her acting in Pathan as lead female spy was a joke, in Jawan she was ok. There were plenty of strong female lead actors who could have brought Aishwarya's character to another world with strength, love, emotion ... watching Aishwarya was more like watching Deepika doing Deepika. That's where the movie gets 9/10. Imo first train hijack scene was so cool and great, next two operations were so so. They could've made next operation bigger than previous. Feels like they focused on the first operation so much, then they started celebrating.

Jolly good from Bollywood.

[BA_Harrison · 7/10 · 18 September 2023]

Epic Bollywood action film Jawan is utterly preposterous from start to finish. The same can be said of Hollywood films like Fast X, which happily defy the laws of physics in an effort to up the ante, but where the latest Vin Diesel movie was a joyless predictable slog, Jawan is a well-paced, consistently entertaining slice of silliness that put a big smile on my face.

Shah Rukh Khan plays Azad, warden at a women's prison, who attempts to right wrongs committed by those with power and influence. Leading a group of young prisoners, each with their own unique talent, Azad holds officials and businessmen to ransom, sharing their wealth with the poor and needy. Unscrupulous arms manufacturer Kalee Gaikwad (Vijay Sethupathi) isn't happy about the modern-day Robin Hood, and attempts to make him pay for his actions...

At nearly three hours long, this could easily have been an excuse for me to catch some z's, but director Atlee doesn't make having a nap an option - when the film isn't delivering ridiculous action scenes with more OTT violence and slow-motion than several John Woo movies, he's giving his viewers spectacular, colourful, impressively choreographed song and dance numbers. The only downtime was a brief interval (the first time I've seen one of those in decades).

Dashing Shah Rukh Khan is a lot of fun in a dual role (he also plays Azad's father Vikram Rathore, whose path has crossed with Kalee before), there's eye candy from numerous Indian beauties (Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Riddhi Dogra and Priyamani), and the cinematography is awesome. As a Westerner relatively unfamiliar with Bollywood, I cannot say how this outrageously daft film compares with most other Indian action movies, but I can say that I had a good time.

Now if only Vin Diesel, Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez and pals would do a synchronised dance in the middle of the next F&F film, I might be more inclined to see it.

must watch in theatre

[rgshinde-65423 · 10/10 · 4 October 2023]

This movie is really a must watch in theatre.

I went in with little expectations and came out really amazed.

SRK has really shown his best in this movie, his acting seems on point

music action story of this film is all great

all actors have done great.

This is the magic of filmmaking which takes you to the world of amazement, thats what i felt watching this in theatre

movie also has social message in movies on few issues with todays society and those do make a huge impact on connecting with the cast.

This is a total family movie, no vulgarity at all

we would love to see more such collab between bollywood actors and tollywood makers.

7.7 - Unexpectedly good credit to Atlee

[har1s · 7/10 · 9 September 2023]

You can tell its directed by a South Indian but that's what make it beautiful. Insane cameos, powerful cinematography. Imo one of the best SRK action movies. The fights were engaging, little humor everywhere created very good atmosphere.

After watching Pathaan where they had a very dull climax, I wasn't hyped a lot for this movie, hell barely saw the trailer but entering the cinema my views changed. Flying start, story was somewhat new but also had a lot of inspiration from previous series like Money Heist.

Someone who never hates on South Indian style action, this movie provides just that but with a high budget which you can see throughout the movie.

Trying to do something unique and they done it newly fresh action scene

[eveq-21924 · 10/10 · 4 October 2023]

*The biggest monster of bollywood*

[faiza-80027 · 13 September 2023]

The film is entertaining to watch, it's worth for every single penny you spend. Trust me it forced me to scream out of excitement in theatres. Srk at 57 years of age proving to be the only pinnacle of indian cinema whose legacy will be unmatched for generations to come. Just single word for whole movie and atlee's direction too, i.e. Wow! Best pan india movie in the history.

I went into theatre with my friends for very first time and I was not expecting this much from this movie but guess was it took me by surprise, I got stunned watching the very first shot itself. I hope whole world's movie lovers understand the value of this man Shahrukh Khan.

Double the Shah Rukh, Double the Thrills: 'Jawan' unleashes SRK's insane stardom 💥 💥

[sagadoodle · 7/10 · 9 September 2023]

In the mesmerizing world of Indian cinema, "Jawan" emerges as a true gem! Shah Rukh Khan's unparalleled charisma, breathtaking action sequences, emotional moments, twists and turns, and the magic of Atlee all shine brightly in the film.

{The story begins with Azad Rathore, played with flair by Shah Rukh Khan, orchestrating a gripping hostage situation aboard a Mumbai Metro. With a formidable gang of inmates turned co-conspirators, Azad and his team take us on a heart-pounding journey. His negotiation with officer Narmada Rai, portrayed by Nayanthara, is a battle of wits that keeps you on the edge of your seat. 'Jawan' delves deep into the human spirit and social conscience. Azad's daring plan to demand a colossal sum from the government unfolds with a hidden purpose, to uplift the underprivileged.}

The film is a perfect masala entertainer with all the elements of a good action thriller: high-octane action sequences, suspenseful plot twists, and emotional moments. What makes 'Jawan' even more riveting is SRK's remarkable double role as both Azad and Vikram, and he is ably supported by Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, and Deepika Padukone. The supporting cast is also excellent.

The action sequences in the film are some of the best that I have seen in a Hindi film in recent years. They are well-choreographed and exciting, and they keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The plot twists are also well-executed, and they keep the audience guessing until the very end. The film also has a strong emotional core, and it deals with some important social issues such as corruption, injustice, and environmental pollution. The film does not shy away from tackling these issues head-on, and it offers a powerful message of hope and redemption. The film also draws inspiration from the popular web series "Money Heist," seamlessly blending moments into the story. The past and present narratives converge brilliantly, unraveling a tale of heroism, redemption, and the pursuit of justice.

Here are some of the things that I particularly liked about the film:

Obviously Shah Rukh Khan!

Seeing Nayantara in action.

The action sequences are top-notch.

The plot twists are well-executed.

The film has a strong emotional core.

The performances by the cast are excellent.

The film deals with important social issues.

I would definitely recommend 'Jawan' to anyone who enjoys action thrillers. It is a well-made film with something to offer everyone.

Junk, trash of a story and bad editing

[jkt2006 · 2/10 · 25 September 2023]

I just could not believe my eyes when i was 30 mins into this piece of trash. How many times was this story done in the 1989s in Hindi as well as South Indian movies? Why is it being repeated shamelessly in 2023? Just because it's SRK movie? Seriously? Then, another major concern is that if this is the future of Tamil-Hindi cinema collaboration, I am happy with watching selected Hindi movies only. Let me explain. Typically Tamil action movies with superstars(like Rajnikant) have each and every action scene either in slow motion or all the vehicles are running in 1.5 times to 2 times the speed, same for bikes! Doesn't stop there, it is exactly the same with dialogues, the last words of a sentence are not over and the editor keeps switching to the other person eith such a speed that even in delicate romantic scenes there is no delicacy. Till the end, it was like watching an anime movie with no respect for a cinema viewer's sensibility. No, this movie is an action movie you will say, but the rhythm of the action, dialigues and Editing is something that probably the Tamil audience is used to watching and I respect that fact. Just that the editing and rhythm is totally different from that of Hindi movies, and Hindi movie viewers are used to a certain rhythm of dialogues, movements, a certain gap between dialogues, etc etc. This Hindi movie directed by a Tamil director feels like you are watching a Tamil movie dubbed in Hindi, in each and every scene!! Throughout you get a feel you are not watching a Hindi movie at all, something is alien, something is missing. All the songs except for the end title one. Do not sound like Hindi movie songs either. If this is how the future of Tamil Hindi movies collaboration looks like, please give us a Hindi movie directed by a Hindi language understanding director only, please please!! This movie was a torture to watch. Hope you understand Hindi movie producers!! Thankyou!!

Full on entertainment

[akshatmahajan · 9/10 · 24 September 2023]

The movie was entertaining with blend of a lot of drama, little comedy, some thrill, some suspense and a lot of action. The story was good with a good message in it, the screenplay was uneven but doesn't damages the story, the direction was good and the performances were also good. The BGM and the action scenes were great, you will love them. Also, the message the movie wanted to show was good and effective.

Some scenes were rushed and some things remained unexplained but the story is shown in such a grand way that these things will not bother you that much.

Overall, you should definitely give this movie a try.

Typical south indian style

[rohitarora-49971 · 7/10 · 16 September 2023]

Just saw jawan out of love for srk and found it just like any other tamil n telugu style action entertainer.

I just don't understand why south directors have to shoot all actions scenes in slow-motion. Slow-mo action does not look gud infact it beats purpose of true pleasure of viewing action on large scene. South style action is boring to me.

SRK is simply srk, love him. Senior srk role was best. Deepika looked old and same crying lady as usual.

Vijay sethupathi acting looks repetitive, Vijay sethupathi is not versatile enough IMHO. In this movie I felt he was doing comedy in end while fighting with srk..i mean what... Atlee c'mon..

Generous 7/10. Movie makes must raise standard.

I don't think I watched the same movie everyone else did

[TheNamelessCzar · 3/10 · 10 September 2023]

All the hype, all the glowing reviews, all the positive word of mouth. And then I saw the movie. What a disaster. It was simply terrible. The editing was choppy and erratic, the storyline made no sense whatsoever, the writing was horrible, etc. Etc. Etc. Characters did not act in any common sense fashion, the plot was convoluted with unnecessary storylines and cameos. And really? Not to spoil anything but prisoners dancing in jail with their warden? One of the dumbest films I've seen in quite a long time. Obviously, Bollywood critics and fans have incredibly low standards for the movies. Put a big-name actor in any film, and it will get positive reviews. One of the worst movies I've seen this year.

Peak entertainment, SRK in his massiest avatar

[sohomp · 10/10 · 15 September 2023]

This is cinema, peak entertainment. Insane theatrical & cinematic experience, got goosebumps all over. I cannot properly explain the spectrum of emotions I went through, want to live in that moment forever. It's wholesome seeing Shah Rukh Khan in this badass massy avatar, literally a dream come true. His screen presence is at an all-time high, he clearly had the time of his life. Will forever be grateful to Atlee for this. This has one of the best interval block of all time & one of the best SRK entries. So many elevation sequences, you will feel the chills. Action sequences packed a big punch and they are only elevated to another level Anirudh's BGM. SRK broke the 4th wall during his monologue to talk to the audience in his unabashedly political avatar and giving his stance, was extremely powerful. The theatres erupted during Zinda Banda & Not Ramaiya Vastavaiya and people started dancing, that was crazy. Even Imax turned into a single screen. It felt so good dancing with other SRK fans.

Deepika in her limited screen time left a big impact. The way she emoted I felt her pain and she made me very emotional. Nayanthara has that aura & power and I understand why they call her lady superstar. They both were stunning. Vijay Sethupathi was very menacing. Other cast members did really well too, the girl gang were on fire. Some of the scenes made me cry, no kidding. The emotions hit right on point.

To sum it all up - Anirudh did his thing, Atlee cooked his magic & SRK in his charismatic & electrifying best. Add cool characters & cast, emotions, revenge, mass action & elevation sequences, powerful music, strong social message, colourful visuals and we get this beautiful entertainment package called Jawan that captivates audiences from start to finish with proper blend of masala elements. It's a treat for SRK fans & neutrals alike.

After watching thrice already, I can definitely say it has an insane repeat value and gets better & clearer with each rewatch. Will watch again. Audience is in for a nonstop cheers, whistles, claps, shouts, cheering & hooting ride, I am still having a sore throat from all that. It's not a film, it's an emotion that will make you smile and give a heartwarming feeling.

'Jawan' Is A Constantly Engaging And Entertaining Film.

[rajmakoley · 9/10 · 16 September 2023]

'Jawan' is the one of the best movie in 2023. Action, Thriller, Drama, Mystery, Adventure has all in this film. No doubt, 'Jawan' is a constantly Engaging and Entertaining film.

Let's have a big round of applause to Director Atlee, for his Mind blowing Direction and also Story. He gives a social message in action relevant. He presents some sequences, which really touch your heart. Anirudh Ravichander gives proper Background Score. G. K. Vishnu's Cinematography is great.

The Action of this movie has to be said separately. Some action scenes, do not let the eyelids fall.

Talking about performances, Shah Rukh Khan (Vikram Rathore, Azad), Vijay Sethupathi (Kalee), Nayanthara (Narmada) are the Lead Characters in this film.

Shah Rukh Khan represents seven looks, that sets it apart from other films. His acting will really impress you once again. His Fitness, Style, and Action really worth watching. Along with SRK, Vijay Sethupathi holds his place properly. He proves himself as a proper Villain in this film. His hindi speaking style is very interesting. Nayanthara portray her character very well.

The Supporting Actors, Sanya Malhotra (Dr. Eeram), Priyamani (Lakshmi), Sanjeeta Bhattacharya (Helena), Lehar Khan (Kalki), Girija Oak (Ishkra), Aaliyah Qureishi (Jahnvi), Sunil Grover (Irani) and Others acts very well.

In a Cameo Roll, Deepika Padukone (Aishwarya Rathore), and Sanjay Dutt (Madhavan Naik) won our hearts.

-Rajma Koley.

Good Masala.. one time watch

[ismailoazzam · 6/10 · 21 September 2023]

I don't have big expectations for the Indian action movies.. I went to see this movie just for entertainment. And I was right.. the action scenes are good, but the story is traditional: A good man who wants to fix the problems in a society.. I have seen this in many other movies (Gabbar is back) but the director added here another story about a soldier whose wife was killed and lost his memory. The two stories meet each other on the second part of the movie.

The movie contains typical Indian melodrama, like a son who is a copy of his father.. a man who wants to revenge.. A hero who can do anything.. even the songs are typical and have impact on the story.

The movie in the second half became a salad of Action scenes.. I felt that it was too long only to add more action, and I didn't find any added value in Sanjay Dutt's role.

I liked sharukh here in his role as a father.. but as a son, I felt that he was overacting.. even his look wasn't good enough..

One time watch only for sharukh.. nothing else.

The Best movie Till nowwwwwww👑

[labonytlr · 10/10 · 16 September 2023]

Watched Jawan yesterday. It's the best movie i've ever seen. What you can't expect from King Khan? The movie is just insane on every angle. From first to last, everything is too good, you can't find a single problem or any boring parts in this movie.

Spoiler Alert:::: Alert! Alert!! Alert!!!

The story is nothing too new, but the outcome at the end of the movie is just lit 🙀🙀 There, ShahRukhKhan have double part, one is a father and one is a son, both are soldiers.

The Acting, Mannnnn! Insane acting from everyone, SRK, Nayanthara and Vijay Shethupathi also.

The Songs are not best, but yeah, They're good.

Man, The BGMs are just awesome, I got goosebumps in every Action scenes, Hatsoff to Anirudh to gifting us this legendary background scoring.

Atlee just blasted a boom in box office bro👑 Pathan-10-50, Jawan,100000-10. Sorry for Pathan fans.

So yeah, That's my review...

Few issues aside, this one's a great commercial flick!

[SoumikBanerjee1996 · 7/10 · 8 September 2023]

So, I just came from my show of Jawan, and this was an exhilarating three hours, and I have tons to discuss.

Since all my theatre viewings have incorporated a different review format (detracting from my analytical perspective), I will make no exception here. I will put forth the positives and negatives like I did on all occasions.

Without further ado, let's begin and let me first start with what did I like.

Positives:-

Technicalities - I cannot stress enough how rich and gorgeous the film looks. Each and every shot was infused with fitting colours and contrast.

Shah Rukh Khan - We have never seen Shah Rukh Khan in such a massy avatar before. What Atlee Kumar had done with him here is exceptional, and Bollywood directors should take notes seriously. Kudos to SRK, too, as he had completely surrendered himself to the director, putting faith in his vision.

Emotional Core - Those who have seen Atlee's earlier works know how much importance he generally gives to the emotional aspects of his stories, and "Jawan" is nothing different. You will shed some tears.

Background Music - Anirudh had yet again shown his true worth. What a terrific composition. It had uplifted and exacerbated every sequence! It's one of his best, for sure.

Yeah, that's about it. Now, I am moving on to the things I did not like or had qualms about.

Negatives:-

Third Act and its mishaps - The concluding Act, or the last thirty minutes to be precise, came off as volatile and incoherent compared to the rest of the script. It seems like Atlee had made some last-minute changes or was in a great hurry to finish off the screenplay and, in doing so, ineluctably messed up the inherent flow of the narrative.

Tonal Misbalance - It might sound nitpicky, and maybe I'm doing just that, but embedding comedy in serious moments didn't come across as a wise call. It took away the intensity and made the situations less intimidating.

Lack of Material for the Supporting Cast - I knew the supporting actors would have little to do here, and my assumptions were proved correct. Nayanthara, Sunil Grover, The Six Girls: Although they did whatever was demanded of them, their characters leave a whole lot to be desired. There were opportunities to make them shine and come out of their shells, but Atlee didn't; it was deliberate from his end.

Now, it's time for those things I have mixed feelings on.

Mixed:-

Cameos / Guest Appearances - There are two special appearances in the movie (No, Thalapathy Vijay is not there if you are wondering); one from Deepika and the other one comes from a Veteran in the business (not going to name him though, you will see it for yourself).

Now, I absolutely adored Deepika here. She was given about twenty minutes of screen time, and she gave it all and made her part so impactful that you'll remember her after the film finishes. Sadly, I cannot say the same for the "other" cameo, which felt more like a last-minute touch-up or an input from the Producers' end rather than an indispensable part of Atlee's pre-planned vision.

Messaging - Each and Every message in the film bears significance and the topics they speak about need to be brought up in our day-to-day conversations. Having said that, I did not like the way those messages were delivered, especially towards the end when SRK breaks the fourth wall and speaks directly to the audience. It was fine at the beginning but became so preachy by the end!

To summarise my train of thought, I had a very good experience overall, and the community viewing aspect definitely played its part. Despite a couple of issues, I suggest everybody go and witness this spectacle of a feature on the biggest screen you could afford to go to. If you love SRK, it's a must-watch no-brainer; even if you do not consider yourself a fan, go for the exhilaration. Trust me, you won't have much to complain about.

Cinematic Triumph

[ClassicCinemaKid · 10/10 · 23 September 2023]

"Jawan" is an absolute cinematic triumph that showcases the brilliance of Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan's performance is a tour de force, capturing the essence of his character with a depth and intensity that only he can deliver.

Atlee's direction is a revelation, seamlessly blending high-octane action with a heartwarming storyline. The action sequences are nothing short of breathtaking, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats. The VFX work is flawless, making every action scene feel larger than life.

The movie's storyline is a rollercoaster of emotions, brilliantly written to keep the audience engaged from start to finish. It not only entertains but also delivers a powerful message that resonates with viewers long after the credits roll.

Anirudh's background music is a character in itself, enhancing every scene and tugging at the heartstrings. His compositions are both soul-stirring and invigorating, setting the perfect tone for the film.

"Jawan" is more than just a movie; it's a cinematic masterpiece that leaves a lasting impact. It's a testament to the power of storytelling and the magic of cinema. This film is a must-watch, and it deserves all the accolades it receives. Bravo to the entire team for creating this extraordinary piece of art.

Mass entertainer and nothing else

[prash-kumar98 · 7 September 2023]

This movies has something for everyone - social message (weak), SRK, south actors, Arijit Singh songs, action, comedy (only thanks to Vijay), sound tracks (all of different genres - EDM, soulful romantic, dance track), stupid tech (whatever plot needs it to be), drama (so much over-the-top drama) and catchy dialogues (some good, some just fall flat).

Story is incredibly predictable. Though screenplay and action is really good. Something that makes it even more hard-hitting is the fitting background score.

All in all, it's an entertainer. It has its moments. Don't think much while watching, otherwise you'll lose the value of the money you have invested in watching it. One more good aspect of the movie is that it's fast paced.

Basically A Tamil mass film starring SRK

[Jithindurden · 6/10 · 7 September 2023]

Jawan may be shot mainly in Hindi, but it is a Tamil mass film in all its essence. Atlee is known for basically copying ideas from other famous movies and making them in his own style for his favourite star. Jawan is an amalgamation of many such movies, including his own films. But the core is the man against system idea which was popularized in this particular form by director Shankar and since then it has been embraced by South Indian movies. The first half had a few interesting stuff going on but it was kinda boring me. I've heard about how Atlee dismisses normal logic from how people talk about his films like Bigil which is even more apparent here. Knowing this and being an SRK fan, I was expecting stuff in the film that defies logic. Overall it didn't affect me too much but the first half had a lot of such things that continuously happened that made it hard to enjoy it. Not using logic to be entertained is fine but the film has too much story in it and most of it doesn't have any logic. It's following too many formula-driven story ideas at once without properly integrating them. But once the interval block action sequence started the movie turned around for me. From there onwards it was a very entertaining movie and if you can watch it with a great audience it will be a great experience.

But it is to be noted that, there's so much story here, but no real characters. The characters are not at all written with depth but everyone is given certain visual flairs to make it very appealing. Nayanthara's character felt so weak but the way she is presented visually through the action scenes kind of makes you forget that.

Some dialogues and scenes kind of felt like a personal message from SRK which seamlessly blends with this kind of film. Maybe that's why he wanted to do such a south-style film.

All in all, I thought it was an average to okay film because I am an SRK fan and enjoyed watching his action scenes and song sequences in the theatre.

If Die Hard is a Christmas movie, this is an Onam movie 😇

Mediocre film in slow motion

[nakenergy-78627 · 2/10 · 15 September 2023]

SRK is passionate about cinema and wants to take Indian Cinema ahead but looks like he is saddled with several people who are less passionate. How can one explain this slow motion tripe of a movie. Why so much slow motion? Because the cost is low and it serves as a tangent for low cost stunts and VFX. The only good and thrilling shots are of a Metro careening at high speed in Mumbai and mind you that is not in slow motion. There is no action set piece that is a wow, this is great. Slow motion action is cheating the audience. I am sure SRK wants to push his movies to Mission Impossible level but alas at the moment cannot do so. The next is the thin plot that has several plot holes. What about the violence? This movie is so violent that it would have been an automatic R rating in US if it had been a Hollywood movie. With a star cast of more women than men, this would be a first but when you come to individual roles, none of the women have a meaty one including Deepika Padukone. Sincerely wish, Deepika comes back to Piku days. What is she doing in this nonsense? Finally the villain played by Vijay is a caricature. He does not look at all menacing, in fact his right hand, Murad is more threatening. It is hard to say which one was more mediocre, Pathaan or Jawan. SRK needs a Rajamouli to up Indian Cinema, wish that happens soon. 2 stars for SRK's energy and passion!

Recently, I got a chance to watch "Jawan" and I have to say, it had a profound effect on me. The film beautifully captures the bravery, sacrifice and unwavering dedication of our brave soldiers.

The storytelling in "Jawan" is no exception. The plot is not only a roller coaster action, but delves into the emotional struggles and personal sacrifices our soldiers make to protect our country. Character development is top notch, allowing us to connect with the main characters on a personal level.

The performances in "Jawan" are outstanding. The leading actors deliver a powerful performance that showcases the grit and determination of our soldiers with impeccable determination. Their on-screen friendship feels authentic and adds emotional depth to the story.

What makes "Jawan" stand out is that it is a realistic portrait of what our soldiers face. The action sequences are strong and the attention to detail is commendable. The cinematography and direction keep you engaged throughout the film, ensuring that every moment is both visually stunning and emotionally rich.

The film beautifully highlights the importance of patriotism and the sacrifices our soldiers make to protect our freedom. It is a moving tribute to our unsung heroes, an invitation to all of us to remember their incredible sacrifices and reflect on the opportunities we enjoy because of their sacrifices.

Conclusion "Jawan" is a must watch for every Indian. It is a passionate, emotional and powerful tribute to our soldiers who risked their lives for our safety. I left the theater with respect and gratitude for our troops. Don't miss this cinematic gem of a spee-fest.

Cool entertainer with a great message!

The movie is made as an action-packed mass-masala entertainer to capture the interest of all movie-goers in India and I believe that the movie will achieve that due to the high relevance in today's political ecosystem. The movie isn't preachy but delivers some solid food for thought.

The Action sequences are very well made with SRK's physique put to the test ( or I don't know if it's stunt doubles 😂 ), which was the highlight of the movie. Each sequence makes you cheer for SRK and that's done effortlessly! Nayantara really surprised me with her action sequences and she had good chemistry with SRK too.

Cinematography was peak and beautiful to watch in theatre and the person who did that, did his job really well!

Plot was mediocre though with Atlee combining sequences, stories and shots of his previous movies like Mersal and his usual formula making the lead actor play father and son with a predictable revenge story.

Anirudh's music for the movie didn't feel impactful but his background scores were superb which elevated the gravitas of SRK in action sequences!

Overall, it's a great watch in theatres and it's a solid popcorn movie!
