Jai Gangaajal
Critic reviews and ratings
-
This one straddles the two worlds of being a reasonably accomplished film as well as a crowd-pleaser.
-
As for Priyanka's performance, she will make a lot of female cops proud. Wish we could see more of her in the film.
-
When it comes to directing of films belonging to the 'political thriller' genre, Prakash Jha has been very good at it. Jai Gangaajal only acts as yet another testimony to the same.
-
Jha yet again successfully revisits the world he’s so familiar with, the rampant hooliganism, the fascinating and colourful lingo that we are all familiar with, largely thanks to Jha’s earlier films.
-
Engaging even if not new, while you are there and awfully ordinary once you are out of the theater.
-
...fails to hit home somehow, despite repeated attempts.
-
...is likely to be a letdown for those who expect it to be a worthy follow-up to Gangaajal.
-
...is just another attempt at making a blockbuster, but it lacks the depth of Gangaajal and Apharan.
-
It’s a pure masala entertainer with vigilante justice by the masses as its main course. It does try to say that it’s hard to control the fire when the mob grows on rampage.
-
...is watchable. The film suffers sorely because Prakash Jha makes it too much about himself.
-
Priyanka Chopra and Prakash Jha’s performances keep you engaged and invested despite the familiar narrative, but by the end you’re overcome by the unmistakable feeling of exhaustion.
-
Prakash Jha before the camera has an undoubtedly better run in Jai Gangaajal than Prakash Jha behind the camera.
-
For all its high-minded moralising, Jai Gangaajal plays out like a 1980s vigilante movie.
-
...is watchable till Jha lets self-indulgence get the better of him.
-
...is big on local colour, but sacrifices nuance for bombast.
-
It's contrived, a little too long for our liking and dragged out.
-
Priyanka Chopra’s too-sophisticated unmade-up-make-up is very distracting, even in her few convincing moments. And the film goes on for far too long, even when we know how all of it will end...
-
It's such a self-indulgent, self promotional film for Prakash Jha...
-
It neither impresses or excites.
-
...under the usual Jha trappings, we’re looking at a good, old-fashioned masala movie.
-
...is one of Prakash Jha's best stories.
