“I just recently discovered this film randomly, out of the blue through Mubi recommendation and I was completely blown away by the story, screenplay, acting, dialogues and direction.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is a poignant tale of a school dropout kid named Jaggi. He is impotent and through a very casual discussion in school with his classmate, he discusses his problem. He is immediately labelled as gay and what happens next forms the crux of the story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie by all means is a very important film for everyone to watch. Itu0026#39;s a brilliant debut for a director with keen sense of human masculinity and how society generally behaves with people with such conditions. It focuses on the male toxicity and the cliched Punjabi Machismo boldly on screen. This movie is based on a true story and absolutely real, raw and gut-wrenching.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe titular character Jaggi, brilliantly and sensitively played by Ramnish Chaudhary is highly commendable and we can only wish and pray that he gets more such amazing roles in the future.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHeu0026#39;s truly a star in the making.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd as the end credits roll, I wish Jaggi had a loving family, good set of friends, was well understood and some help and therapy was given to him to overcome the abuse, trauma that he endured growing up as a child. The movie takes the viewer deep into the rabbit hole that Jaggi endured (With an insanely unsettling and repeated soundtrack) that stays with you until the end and shakes your core completely.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSpecial mention to Pardeep taina for capturing the realism of the horrors of the world of Jaggi through his incredible camera work.”
