Manoj Kumar R

 Sept 7, 2023

Plot

In Jawan, a cop forms an unlikely alliance with convicted women felons to tackle social and political issues. 

New trope

While Bollywood has concerned itself largely with national security issues, socio-economic themes have often taken a back seat

New player in Bollywood

Atlee has mastered the art of blending escapist entertainment with issue-based storytelling

Blockbuster!

Atlee also spices up the drama in Jawan with a significant dose of patriotism and national security issues. 

A no-brainer

In Jawan, everything is on the nose, subtlety is a rare commodity here.

The superstar

The theatre exploded with whistles, cheers, and applause when SRK delivers punchlines. 

One-man show

Jawan is an SRK show all the way and he shines more in his older look.

Classic villain

Vijay Sethupathi portrays a ruthless businessman with a knack for comedy. 

An important film

Jawan feels timely in the run-up to the election season.

Refreshing

Although it seems like a regular routine potboiler, Jawan offers a breath of fresh air on several fronts.
