Jaat Review: Nowadays, audience just wants one thing; if they are paying for a ticket, the movie should entertain them for those two and a half hours or three hours. Everyone expected that Salman Khan starrer Sikandar would offer full-on entertainment, but it disappointed. So, now, all eyes are on Sunny Deol starrer Jaat. The film's trailer promised that the movie would be a massy entertainer. So, does Jaat fulfil the promise or does it also turn out to be a disappointment? Read on to know that…

The movie revolves around a small village named Muttupalli in Andhra Pradesh, which is ruled by a gangster named Rana Tunga (Randeep Hooda). He kills a few people from the village, and no male cop is ready to go and arrest him. When a few courageous female cops reach his house to arrest him, they are molested by his men with the help of Tunga’s wife (Regina Cassandra). While all this is going on, Jaat (Sunny Deol) lands up in the village, and gets involved in this whole scenario. How he helps the female cops and the villagers forms the rest of the story…

Jaat is written and directed by Gopichand Malineni. He has helmed many super hit Telugu films, and this movie marks his Bollywood directorial debut. So, even for Jaat, he uses the South formula of masala entertainers, and he succeeds. The story of the film is interesting, and the way Malineni has narrated it, the movie keeps us hooked throughout for those 153 minutes. The action sequences and dialogues are clap and whistle worthy, and single screens will surely turn into a stadium during the action scenes.

But, of course, there are a couple of things that make Jaat look like a typical South Indian movie, like there’s a budhi maa angle, then the real identity of the lead being disclosed in the pre-climax, villain ruling a place, and more. Also, the film has a major issue when it comes to the female cops. There are times when we are shown that there are seven female cops, later they become six, and then sometimes while one cop is there in a scene, in the next scene she is not there. So, this is a huge technical or editing mistake.

We would like to warn the audience that this movie is not for the faint-hearted. Jaat is filled with scenes of bloodshed.

Jaat Review – Actors’ Performances

Sunny Deol is the original action star of Bollywood. His Dhai Kilo Ka Haath has been beating up the bad guys on the big screens for more than four decades. After Gadar 2, Deol is back with a bang with Jaat. This movie is a treat for his fans because he does action, has emotional scenes, there’s a pinch of comedy in his role, and most importantly, he gets to shout as well. This proves that Gopichand Malineni very well knew how the present the star on the big screens.

Randeep Hooda as the larger-than-life villain has done a very good job, and Vineet Kumar Singh, after Chhaava, once again impresses us with his performance.

When it comes to female leads, Saiyami Kher and Regina Cassandra have meaty roles to play, and they have done a great job; especially the latter, her villainous role will surely make you hate her. Urvashi Rautela has a special dance number in the movie, and irrespective of whatever she says in her interviews, we cannot ignore the fact that she has a great screen presence and her dance moves are killer.

Jaat Review – Music

One thing that elevates the movie is the music of Thaman S. The background score in the action sequences is fantastic.

Jaat Review – Final Verdict

Overall, Jaat is a massy film that might not have logic, but it entertains and keeps us hooked throughout. It is also a must-watch for Sunny Deol fans.
