Plot

The plot of the movie is in an Indian southern state. The movie basically is a backdrop of the ill decisions made by the political leaders who are in the power. The storyline shows the five different stories.

She doesn’t have a stable source of income. So, she struggles to earn money. From the little money she earns, she saves the major part of the income for her daughter’s health operation. Her daughter, Bala is a street performer and an excellent athlete. The second story is about a girl student. She discovers that her mother is a prostitute, so she elopes with a tea stall boy named Siddhu. The third story in the movie revolves around a middle-aged man, Bose. He runs an orphanage that provide shelter to hundreds of orphan children. He is waiting for the government to provide the funds for the orphan children. The fourth story in the film revolves around the Chief Minister of Kerala. He recently became the CM after his father’s death. He dreamed of building the most giant statue of his father in the state. For that, he stoped all the funds that were for orphanage, loan of high school girl and tea stall boy, fund for the widow mother whose crops were damaged by the heavy rain. At last, a journalist is seen who talks to the chief minister regarding the issue of loans, funds and scholarships. He mentioned how hundreds of people committed suicide due to his decision. At the end, with guilt the Chief Minister inaugurated the statue.

Star performance

There is no single main character in the society. The film tells the story of five different characters. The first main character is Ganga. She is a widowed women who is saving money for her daughter’s medical operation. Eshwari Rao plays her character. She beautifully depecits Ganga’s character. She totally fits in the role. Her daughter’s name is Bala who is a street performer. Naina Ganguly played her character. She delivered a nuanced performance by projecting Bala as a strong woman lead.

Other important characters of the film include Ankith Koyya playing the character of Siddhu, Chaitanya Krishna as Vijay, Subhalekha Sudhakar as Bose, and Esther Anil as Jyothi. Throughout the film, they acted consistently. Everyone delivered a fantastic performance.

Analysis

Johaar is a fantastic movie. The concept of filmmakers behind making this film is impressive and unique. The script of the film is straightforward and realistic. The filmmaker did a bold experiment with the film’s script. The film consists the story of five different people who suffered due to the ill political decision. The movie is a commentary on the power play involved in governmental activities. The innocent people always suffered due to huge desires of political leaders. Although the story is predictable but, all the actors have done incredible job. Not only the script, the movie’s execution is also great. The screenplay in the film is excellent.

It has an average cinematography.  The soundtracks of the film are also enjoyable. But at some scenes the music doesn’t match with the emotions of the characters. All the characters are developed. However, the pace of the film is problematic. It is slow in few scenes.
