Not giving this film its due will always be one of Hindi Cinema's original sin.

'I don't know if cinema can actually bring about change in society. But cinema can certainly be a vehicle for creating social awareness. I believe in egalitarianism and every person's awareness of human rights. Through my films I can say, "Here is the world, and here are the possibilities we have." Eventually it is to offer an insight into life, into experience, into a certain kind of emotive or cerebral area.' - Shyam Benegal by Sangeeta Datta

There's a word rarely used in India- Iconoclasts.
Meaning: a person who attacks settled beliefs or institutions.
Nearly 80 years after Independence, we live on as if we are still chained. Chained to the prisons of identities we wedded ourselves to, to claim freedom. Chained to tribes we were told we must be a part of. Chained to the dreams of our forefathers and the anxieties of our past selves.

This reminded me so much of Jusqu'à la garde but done even better. The Hitchcockian vibe, complete with subtlety builds up Dread, something even Soni explored. Ranks with Pariyerum Perumal in outclassing the Hindi mainstream and how.
The milestone it represents for giving space to an important conversation in just a short sequence is commendable. Beautifully shot. Great writing. Central performance was among the best I have seen. We know soooo many people like these.
This film makes me so happy and hopeful.

When I watched Jhund, I had the same impulse. A few hours later however, I found myself going through reviews or Googling the film. I first saw that the IMDb rating of the film showed 3.1/10. Then, when you went to the page, it changed from that to 4.6.
The spread of the ratings made the lie clear- most reviews logged it…
