The biographical sports film Jhund was released on 4 March 2022. It received a positive response from the audience as well as the critics.
The movie Jhund received positive responses from both the audience and critics. It met the expectations and the hype it created. The movie has an engaging plot; the songs are beautiful and original. The acting is terrific, and overall the movie is a complete pack of entertainment.
One of the viewers wrote, “Jhund is a story of tapori jhoppad patti wali children and teenagers transformed into players representing country in World Cup at international level. The main credit goes to a retired school teacher played by Amitabh Bachchan, who took the initiative to bring about a change in these children by introducing them to football. Because of this, they left all their wrong ways and got a passion for pursuing in life. Good acting by the cast. Special appreciation goes to Ankush Gedam for his performance in the film. All actings he did, right from bad boy to good boy. Amitabh Bachchan's performance was also great, especially first time sharing the screen with so many youngsters, his grandchildren's age, that too performed flawlessly. Even I like Sayli Patels performance. The picture was a little long but yet it managed to keep us gauged till the end. The story was nice. The songs were also nice. Meaningful lyrics. Fighting scenes were also well performed. This picture had some elements and scenes which looked real. Love, romance, action, as well as motivation, are all there in this film. Even jhoppadi life is shown in this mainstream film. Applause worthy. The celebration of Ambedkar Jayanti and other Buddhist festivals is also shown in the film. Needs to be appreciated. One key message to be taken from the film, no matter whatever the wrong path you are walking right now, you can always bring about a change in yourself. It is totally in your hands. Good movie overall. I rate this movie 5 out of 5. Must recommend this movie to teenagers who have lost direction in life. This movie will teach you how to bounce back in life.”
