Sairat director #NagrajManjules first #Hindi outing is not just a sports drama – peppered with terrific moments – but also tackles real issues that hit you hard€¦ #BigB is spectacular, #Shahenshah among actors. The deterrents here are its run time [almost 3 hours] and inconsistent pace€¦ #Jhund may/may not appeal to the mainstream audience, but heres a film that speaks its mind and eventually, stays in your mind€¦ You need a strong stomach to absorb this one!

Jhund is an unwieldy film but its not a forgettable one. Take the track of Rinku, who plays a village girl without any identification who must somehow get a passport made. The rounds that she does with her father, going from one place to another, to somehow prove herself a legitimate citizen, is Kafkaesque, darkly funny and awful. At one point, her father exclaims: aadmi ki koi keemat hi nahin.Its these moments of tough truth that give the film its power.

On the whole, Jhund may have its heart in the right place but thats not enough to set the cash registers ringing. The film will win more critical acclaim than box-office rewards. Flop. It will do slightly better in pockets of Maharashtra.

Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: Rachana Site: Times Of India
One of the centrepieces of the film is the subtlety with which several issues including caste divide, societal judgements, class difference, economic difference and womens education and rights are interspersed into the screenplay. The downside is that some of these issues divert the attention of the proceedings, breaking the overall rhythm of the story. To sum up, this ones a dramatic sports film, which may not have thrilling moments around every corner for you but the point it tries to drive home will definitely kick your insides hard.

Jhund releases its coiled-up energy a joule at a time as it glides towards an airport security check sequence that constitutes the film’s climax and conveys in a nutshell the plight of the powerless as well as the possibility of a game-changing pushback.

Finally, Jhund is an overlong meander, its sporadically alive moments doused in the most generic beats of the sports-as-upliftment movie. The best intentions do not always a good film make.

Jhund revolves around football, but it does not build itself around a thrilling match. Sometimes the greatest goal a man can score is to toss the knife in the trash can.

After a while, Jhunds shot at true-to-life realism becomes self-indulgent to the point of being dull. Manjule seems to be trying to achieve a hybrid of fictionalised reality, realistic storytelling, a deeply observational mode and a documentary-like flavour in Jhund but is unable to get there.

This is a film that wants your attention and once it has it, there is no looking back. Amitabh Bachchan is amazing, Nagraj Manjule is at his best and so is everything around them. You must go for this one.

Ratings:4/5 Review By: Hungama Site: Bollywood Hungama
On the whole, JHUND is a superb social entertainer, with Nagraj Popatrao Manjule’s writing and direction, and the performances being its core strengths. At the box office, it has the potential to grow significantly as the word of mouth is bound to be very positive. It also deserves tax-free status. Recommended!
