MOVIE REVIEW: It is a Mega Blockbuster again for Shah Rukh Khan. Jawan is undoubtedly a worth-watching mass entertainer on the big screen. The movie is a package of engaging story, entertaining performances, excellent direction, and electrifying larger-than-life action sequences. Director Atlee has given the viewers a rollercoaster ride of emotions with the perfect blend of whistle-worthy dialogues and clap-worthy larger-than-life action scenes.

The writers have done a great job too, the story delivers pertinent messages to society. It touches upon the corruption in the healthcare system, the bad conditions of government hospitals in our country, and the farmer suicides over the non-repayment of bank loans. The gripping screenplay is full of surprises & exciting cameos, and many scenes can leave you with teary eyes. The intermission and finale scenes are the biggest highlights of the film. The stellar star cast of Jawan won’t give you any dull moment in its 169-minute long runtime.

This never-before-seen avatar of Shah Rukh Khan keeps you engaged from start to end. He played his both parts perfectly and his character of Vikram Rathore will surely impress the audience. Watching SRK in high-octane action sequences is a treat for his fans. Nayanthara got a decent debut in Bollywood and she manages to leave the mark. Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Dutt’s special cameo appearances were praiseworthy.

Vijay Sethupathi deserved better writing for this role, but he never disappoints even with an underwritten role he delivers outstanding performance. Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, and Lehar Khan were fine in their limited supporting roles. But Sunil Grover and Riddhi Dogra were unable to leave any mark.

Jawan Movie Rating:
Direction 4/5
Acting 3.5/5
Action 4.5/5
Story 4/5
Screenplay 4/5
Overall Hit ya Flop Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars (Must Watch)

Highly Recommended
