Jugni
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Great intention, a contemporary story, good execution and soul-stirring music. What else could you want in a movie?
-
...is for those who love everything right in their cinema: performance, music and direction.
-
...is romantic but not in the quintessential way and that's what makes it stand out.
-
What the beautifully nuanced Jugni film has is a meaningful, if somewhat thin, plot peopled with eminently relatable characters.
-
...its virtues are the sort that are often missing from films more highly rated: a keen sense of place; a commitment to its characters’ best and worst impulses; and an ability to suggest an emotional journey...
-
...turns out to be a well done short film padded up to be a feature. But it is still one of those unique efforts in this age of heroes because all the characters are delightfully flawed.
-
Despite its freshness, the film fails to create an impact. It is hard to be affected by it due to its lack of depth.
-
...has a lot of sparkle but not enough firepower.
-
The beginning of the movie, the music, the hero's charming presence, the funny appealing dialog keeps you so happy, you sort of believe that the movie is going to be better than fabulous. But the predictable turns the story takes throw the whole movie down a cliff and it just crashes.
-
The film turns clunky in other places, the first-time inexperience showing, but we don’t really mind, because it has that rare thing : a soul, and of course, song. I came out humming.
-
If you need a reason to watch this film, it would be for the music and to take in rural Punjab like you've never seen in films before.
-
...is a fabulous idea, but only on paper.
