10/10
Peak entertainment, SRK in his massiest avatar
15 September 2023
This is cinema, peak entertainment. Insane theatrical & cinematic experience, got goosebumps all over. I cannot properly explain the spectrum of emotions I went through, want to live in that moment forever. It's wholesome seeing Shah Rukh Khan in this badass massy avatar, literally a dream come true. His screen presence is at an all-time high, he clearly had the time of his life. Will forever be grateful to Atlee for this. This has one of the best interval block of all time & one of the best SRK entries. So many elevation sequences, you will feel the chills. Action sequences packed a big punch and they are only elevated to another level Anirudh's BGM. SRK broke the 4th wall during his monologue to talk to the audience in his unabashedly political avatar and giving his stance, was extremely powerful. The theatres erupted during Zinda Banda & Not Ramaiya Vastavaiya and people started dancing, that was crazy. Even Imax turned into a single screen. It felt so good dancing with other SRK fans.

Deepika in her limited screen time left a big impact. The way she emoted I felt her pain and she made me very emotional. Nayanthara has that aura & power and I understand why they call her lady superstar. They both were stunning. Vijay Sethupathi was very menacing. Other cast members did really well too, the girl gang were on fire. Some of the scenes made me cry, no kidding. The emotions hit right on point.

To sum it all up - Anirudh did his thing, Atlee cooked his magic & SRK in his charismatic & electrifying best. Add cool characters & cast, emotions, revenge, mass action & elevation sequences, powerful music, strong social message, colourful visuals and we get this beautiful entertainment package called Jawan that captivates audiences from start to finish with proper blend of masala elements. It's a treat for SRK fans & neutrals alike.

After watching thrice already, I can definitely say it has an insane repeat value and gets better & clearer with each rewatch. Will watch again. Audience is in for a nonstop cheers, whistles, claps, shouts, cheering & hooting ride, I am still having a sore throat from all that. It's not a film, it's an emotion that will make you smile and give a heartwarming feeling.
