Pain of the downtrodden, voice of the voiceless
‘Jai Bhim is mild. Jai Bhim is love,’ that is how Suriya’s newest display screen outing ends, prompting deep ideas with its hard-hitting and intense plot.
In 2018, director Madhupal gave us a courtroom drama, Oru Kuprasidha Payyan, during which a person is caught in a surreal story of a authorized thriller.
With Jai Bhim, director TJ Gnanavel digs deeper. If it was Ajayan and Hannah in Oru Kuprasidha Payyan, right here now we have Chandru, who takes up the case of a tribal lady, Senganni, whose husband Rajakannu’s whereabouts are unknown since he was taken away by the native cops on cooked-up expenses of theft.
There have been movies like Nerkonda Paarvai, which, for the duration of time, let the lead star take the highlight. Nevertheless, Jai Bhim doesn’t lose its focus and stray in direction of stardom — that’s the smartest thing concerning the film.
Neither does Suriya take the centre stage, nor does he let his stardom get in the way in which of the highly effective and related story.
Whereas Suriya merely anchors the movie, it is Lijomol who will get applause for her phenomenal efficiency. The soul of the movie runs by means of Lijomol, backed by Manikandan. Furthermore, Rajisha Vijayan performs a pivotal position fairly than the same old romantically inclined feminine lead.
Regardless of its three-hour run-time, there’s not a single scene that appears uninteresting, although there are some visually disturbing ones.
Retaining its tempo, the movie completely portrays the ache of the downtrodden and the unvoiced.
The music by Sean Roldan is simply excellent, tugging proper on the core of the film, whereas cinematographer SR Kadhir’s digital camera captures the nuances of the gripping story.
Somewhat than being a mere courtroom drama, Jai Bhim is a much-needed movie from the previous that can be related within the years to return, with new hope and a brand new starting.
