On the whole, Joram is a well-made film but its box-office prospects are very poor. It is actually a festival film worthy of awards.

Devashish Makhija makes movies about people on the margins, compelled to switch on their survival mode in the face of great odds. His fourth feature Joram reunites him with Manoj Bajpayee who was terrific as a retired low-level policeman in Bhonsle: here, the latter plays a tribal on the run, keeping at bay inimical forces from within his own people, as well as those who are hunting him from the outside. Is there anyone left on his side?

From the bucolic and tranquil forests of Jharkhand to a cacophonous and bustling urban jungle, the forced transition that Dasru Kerketta (Manoj Bajpayee) and his wife Vaano (Tannishtha Chatterjee in a special appearance) make in Joram, an immersive and disturbing man-on-the-run drama written and directed by Devashish Makhija, is excruciatingly and expectedly painful.

Joram is a gritty tale that will stay with you for a long time. Although it strays from being a survival drama as the socio-political facet overpowers the narrative, its a must-watch for its intense storytelling and performances. The poignant movie will also make you think about what we are doing to Mother Nature in the name of development and progress. It deserves to be watched on the big screen.

The finale is marveling. If you look closely, there are no villains in the story, everyone has their own story and the motivations fit well in them. Right till the end, the cops are hot on his trail and Bala continues to run. After a point, even the camera movement looks jittery portraying this mans exhaustion. The screen goes black but we can listen to his breathlessness. The film has ended, but his struggles have not. Thats the whole point of Joram, justice is the end of the story, injustice never ends.

Despite its flaws, the Devashish Makhija directorial should be watched for Manoj Bajpayee’s superlative performance and the relevant questions it raises. Joram has already been screened at multiple international film festivals in Sydney, Durban, London, Chicago, Rotterdam, and others, and now, its upon the Indian audiences to give this film a chance it truly deserves.

Joram can be best described as a Rubiks cube. It takes a whole lot of patience to reach the conclusion and even after that, the tediousness of the process robs of you of the satisfaction of the result. Watch it only if youre true-blue indie cinema connoisseur.

Ratings:4/5 Review By: Sukanya Site:Rediff
In Joram, he brings out a father’s desperation to the fore by submitting to Dasru’s primal instincts in an unflinching show of panic and pathos. The infant named Joram represents a future he seeks to save in a social order that couldn’t care less about his past or present. It’s a vicious circle with no end in sight.
