Whilst I do appreciate these earnest attempts, the problem with 'Jogi' is its shallow scripting. While it did shed some light on the killing of our then Prime Minister Ms. Indira Gandhi, and the unimaginable monstrosities that ensued; I believe that there was a lot more to inquire into. The creators have made their choice to not delve deeper into the core subject, or to talk about any of the deep-seated politics that was involved.

They have chosen to constrain themselves inside an invisible enclosure, that prevented them from taking any names of any influential figures or the political parties they associated with, I assume it was to stay away from further disputes and debates.

Albeit I wish they had done otherwise.

That being said, this movie is still deeply affecting. I cannot fathom the sufferings, the horrors, all the Innocent people had to put up with. Some scenes will terrify you, will make you infuriated, and before you could realize what and why is this taking place, tears will be rolling down, your heart will get heavy, and you will feel devastated by the barbarity. It may as well take hours or even days to recover from what you've just witnessed!

Get ready for an emotional roller coaster!

For a movie that went spectacularly for 70% of its time duration, that had so many more truths to show the public, the horrors, the aftermath, the plight of the Sikhs, they ruined it in the last 40 minutes. What was the need to add personal drama? The entire movie felt fictional after that point when you had such an important topic to uncover. Why were there no stats at the end? Were the directors making a movie on a historical topic or a bromance? Why weren't there stats at the end? How many lives were lost during the riots? How long did the army take to intervene and how many survivors did they find. How many people were arrested and what were their sentences. The movie went from a historical drama to fiction based on history so quickly, I would have reshot the last 40 minutes after watching it once. Producers, directors, editors, advisors all at fault for missing their masterpiece.

The truth is too scary and it would have taken immense courage for one to be brutally honest in the depiction of 1984 riots against a particular minority community (Sikh) that took place in almost all part of the country (specially Northern region) in the same time duration.

They chose the narrative from a single person perspective, thus limiting the story line to a man and a lane in a city (that happens to be the national capital as well). Considering the limited approach to one of the terrifying incident in the history of mankind, I would say team Jogi did quite well.

Very intense screenplay, specially the escape sequence and commendable acting by all the main characters. The makers were also successfully in embedding the love story of the lead character without compromising the intensity of the plot (this has something to do with editing department).

This movie wouldn't disappoint you, just watch it with an open mind without too much expectation.
