Starring Amitabh Bachchan as Vijay Borade --a character based on the life of a retired sports professor Vijay Barse, who founded an NGO called Slum Soccer, Jhund is an entertainer of a different breed.

Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most experimental actors we have and the megastar proves his mettle yet again. He isn't the only driving force and never does he try to be one. The megastar leaving his superstar image aside, takes the backseat when needed and becomes a backbone to the narrative. Most of the actors have been picked from the streets and have given true to life performances. Ankush Gendam is a find and so is Rajiya Kazi. Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar too shine in their brief roles.

While Nagraj Manjule has taken a documentary-like approach, he's made sure the film entertains as well as educates. The football choreography is brilliant and gives you the impression of watching a match on the big screen.
