Nagraj manjule , the man behind Sairat, has made his debut in Bollywood and he's announced his coming with a bang.

Jhund is not exactly a sports drama. It's actually a social film with sports in it. This film deals with a group of slum dwellers with a dark future who are rescued by an old coach named Vijay who trains them to become good football players but in turn , his main motive becomes to free them from their shady deeds and bring peace amongst them and secure a bright future for them. However, even after they do get into the sport, their dark pasts come to haunt them and not only that, their status in society too becomes a hurdle in moving forward. This story follows their struggle to get out of their shady deeds and ultimately make it to the big world tournament.

The casting is spot on! It's 100 times better to cast guys who genuinely look and act like slum dwellers rather than make a Ranveer singh to look like a slum dweller in gully boy . The Jhund boys have given a terrific performances giving us a realistic indian slum feel to their accent and behaviour.

The terrific speech given by Bachchan Saab at the court room is a highlight. Almost reminded me of Arshad warsi's speech from Jolly LLB.

The films length is the issue. The 2nd half spends too much time in showing the detailed journey of the Jhund guys struggling to get a passport and this is where the film almost stops to move and you keep looking at your watches as to how long the film is left. Another negative could be the portrayal of that college sexy girl who first oozes for the college boys but then starts oozing for Ankush the Jhund guy after he wins a match against her team. Typical nibbi. Also that match between Jhund team and college team is a typical cliche one.

Overall, these negatives should not affect your viewing experience. A film made for the audience of the highest class but should be watched by all. Especially the lower caste people should watch this, it would inspire them. Heard this film's collection is too low. It had to be!! If audience think they are matured and then say "Pushpa is content" and reject films like Jhund in theatres...then I must say indian audience is a laughable "Jhund" of clowns.
