Jersey Movie Review: Script Analysis

Jersey Movie Review: With the proven and tested formula (also in the director of a Shahid Kapoor movie), Jersey retains the director who directed the film for its Telugu version. Like Sandeep Reddy Vanga in Kabir Singh, the film Jersey’s OG director Gowtam Tinnanuri is the captain for the Hindi version.

A subject or movie can be modified, using the same genius to execute the task time, but using different materials. I was fortunate enough to dive into the ocean of surprises and awe-inspiring scenes without watching Nani’s version.

This made me a part of Arjun’s life in a chaotic way, establishing the foundation for a stronger connection.

It does employ the most well-known tropes from sports films, like rising through familial struggles and the predictable final-ball crucial matches, but the plot isn’t solely based on these concepts.

There’s plenty to tell beyond cricket matches and family drama, including the unbreakable bond between father and son, a couple’s turbulent relationship, and an inner story of a man that might have been (or might be at when the film is over).

Gowtam Tinnanuri’s innate ability to build characters makes him paint Arjun so well that he is the loudest speaker when he doesn’t have anything to say.

When the world is moving towards the short-content-consumption era, it’s always a delight to see a film clock 170 minutes keeping the intrigue alive for a significant chunk of the total duration.

A film that traces a person’s journey from beginning to end and that offers even a little optimism in the lives of many who are struggling.

Anil Mehta brings his usual best in these scenes, aside from the sports scenes, because they are handled very sporty with some close-up shots. The camera technique that uses pause and pan in a couple of cricket shots is an excellent win for the producers.

Another brilliant idea is that the makers also keep an editor Naveen Nooli who will be able to pinpoint what is to be held and what needs to be edited out.

Jersey Movie Review: Star Performance

Even though Shahid Kapoor isn’t playing your”boy-next-door” type of character for a while currently, his image does appear when needed. Shahid does not simply have the fatherly aspect of Arjun ideally but also gets the cricketer’s perspective. He is very expressive in his expressions and can achieve the perfect mood.

As in this case, even though Arjun is an earnest man, however, to make him look attractive, Shahid smiles and makes a strange gesture to his face that changes the mood during the same sequence.

Thank the Lord for this. Mrunal Thakur’s Vidya isn’t another character who fills the gap left by not having a lead lady. Vidya has a significant impact on a lot of the things Arjun is doing in the movie.

The character with an incredible determination shows the negative side of struggles also. When Arjun is fighting, Vidya showcases how hard the battle is for all the family members.

There’s a scene in which she smiles while crying, and I could not keep a single tear that was slipping down the edges of my eye.

Pankaj Kapur plays a father-figure coach for Shahid Kapoor’s Arjun, and the script utilizes their real-life relationship to create a cosy feeling of depth onscreen. Pankaj Ji, in all parts, also serves as an amusing comic relief at times, showing why Pankaj Kapur is an all-rounder in this field.

Ronit Kamra, who plays Shahid’s son, plays not just many but multiple scenes that showcase his mild reactions. In a way that doesn’t cross any lines, Ronit creates this nuanced appearance, mastering each scene he’s part of.

Jersey Movie Review: Direction, Music

In the current debate of Bollywood VS, South individuals such as Gowtam Tinnanuri stand out as the ones to show why it doesn’t have to be a fight? If you mix emotions in stories with a particular material and then mix them with similar elements, you can broaden the scope of a similar story.

It’s incredible to realize that slight tweaks to the same tale can increase its appeal by addressing more people. Gowtam has an emotional circle around one person, demonstrating how his life changes affected the people in the vicinity.

As I will be able to recall, this was Anirudh’s first film in Bollywood to compose the score, and he continued to play with his magic wand in this film as well.

The thumping, but not “noise for your ears, background music makes a real difference in numerous scenes. The songs of Sachet-Parampara are superbly placed. However, the arrangements could’ve been a lot better.

Jersey Movie Review: The Last Word

After all, Shahid Kapoor continues to provide some exciting innings in the second half of his career, and Jersey is undoubtedly one of the most interesting. A rare and almost-perfect blend of drama (predicable-yet-interesting) game & everything else.
