Jhund- Not a film, it’s Cinema!

jhund Review- OyeFilmy

Short Ridiculous Review- Jhund
After a long long time I am back with my short ridiculous review, and its Nagraj Manjule’s Jhund, now you must be thinking its a Bachchan film then why I said Manjule’s film, its because Jhund is not a usual Bollywood film for a usual Bollywood audience, its something different, not typical Indian masala film but a BHARAT ka film with BHARAT ke actors apart for Mr Bachchan.


I would call it a 3 hrs Long MOVIEMENTRY- a combination of a movie and documentary on the life of Slumdogs.

Who should watch: People who have the patience to watch a 3 Hrs long film, yes you can take it as a binge-watch series, film Makers and enthusiasts


Why watch- Munjule’s Cinema, Acting of raw actors.


Ridiculous Rating: 3

She made her film debut in 2020 through a leading role in the comedy Jawaani Jaaneman with Saif Ali Khan and earned a lot of critical acclaim. The film was a success at the box-office and bold Alaya is surely an actress to watch out for.

Making her film debut with the 2019 Kangana Ranaut historical Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, she made a mark. Though her fans and followers felt that her role was too short in the movie and that she could have afforded more scope to showcase her talent.

But inspite of the length of the role, Ankita did manage to make an impression.
