Full marks to Actor Surya and Director Gnanavel for having made such an intense, meaningful film.
This movie is based on true events, This is a story that must be told, treasured and celebrated for time to come.
Jai Bhim tells the moving story of an upright lawyer coming to the aid of poor, defence-less people from the rural community who have no means to stand up to the might of an inhuman police force that seeks to exploit their helplessness and audaciously commits atrocity after atrocity on them with impunity.
The film begins with tribal couple Sengkani (Lijo Mol Jose) and Snake catcher Rajakannu (Manikandan) leading a peaceful life. One day, Rajakannu is summoned to the village headman’s house to catch a snake.
He and all those close to him are picked up by the police in connection with a burglary at the headman’s house. The police unleash a reign of terror on Rajakannu and his relatives, subjecting all of them to relentless third-degree torture, compelling them to accept responsibility for the burglary.
Then, one night, the cops claim Rajakannu and his associates have escaped. A desperate and helpless Sengkani does not know where to go or whom to turn to for help until she meets Chandru (Suriya), a firebrand lawyer who believes in being the voice of the voiceless.
Jai Bhim also has fine performances coming from Prakash Raj, who plays a sincere police officer with a conscience, Rao Ramesh, who plays the senior government counsel and Rajisha Vijayan, who plays a teacher with the Arivoli movement.
Sean Roldan’s music is just perfect for this masterpiece. His numbers inspire where they must and tug at your heartstrings when tragedy strikes.
Cinematographer S R Kadhir’s camera captures the gripping story as it happens and Philomin Raj’s masterful editing makes a two hour and 45 minute film seem like just a one-and-a-half hour film.
‘Jai Bhim’ is more than just a film. It is an inspiration. A gem that dazzles!
