Watch shahrukh khan blockbuster Jawan in HD
The star of this film is Shah Rukh Khan, and the film was co-produced by his production house and his wife Gauri Khan. So it’s no surprise that the film’s plot and mood shifts are as good as they come. After all, it’s a Khan movie, and it’s only fitting that the filmmakers spend too much time convincing us that we don’t really know Khan’s mysterious antihero.
In one of the movie’s most thrilling flashback action scenes, Khan’s character Azad (who happens to be the female warden of a women’s prison) appears to execute a burqa-wearing woman while wearing a ridiculous bald cap, which he promptly removes.
In character, Khan demands that Nayanthara’s exasperated Nayanthara (Amitabh Kapoor) asks the Agriculture Minister Virat Kohli (Viralat Kohli) to pay off the farmers’ high-priced loans or else more will die.
In “Jawan,” the plot twists and turns so quickly that it’s almost impossible to stay on track with the story and set pieces. A few plot turns are also easy to predict. Azad (Shah Rukh Khan) falls in love with Narmada (Anushka Shetty) and courts her young daughter Suji (Saroj Mehra).
He rails against corrupt government officials and stages a series of blood-soaked, media-fueled protests. Azad claims to speak for the common people, but acts erratically, doing a little hand-shaking dance surrounded by horrified commuters.
He explains that he is a good man fighting against the corrupt public officials who are not loyal to the Republic.
There is an interesting and agreeably funny subplot that links Narmada's and Azad's story to the movie's opening scene, which takes place 30 years ago in an unnamed village in Tibet (near “India's border,” and is terrorized by a group of Asian soldiers in white and green caps.
If you’re a fan of Shah Rukh Khan’s movies, you’re probably not going to be particularly surprised at how these subplots.It’s a major plot twist that predictably takes over the back half of the plot and re-orients Azad’s plot so that viewers know that this time, unlike all the other times, it’s personal.
This time, there’s a nefarious weapons dealer, Kalee (Vijay Sethupathi), who is as malicious as he is violent. There’s also a surprise cameo from a big Bollywood star, whose presence isn’t really a spoiler if you pay attention during the opening credits.
And be on the lookout for a duet dance number led by Khan and Deepika Padukone, who have great chemistry, possibly because they know that, by now, they don’t have to really compete for viewers’ affection. Oh, and a couple of the fight scenes are maximalist show-stoppers despite being over-edited and under-directed. Loud and rote, sure, but never boring.
The main reason why "Jawan" doesn't go further than what Khan has already delivered is that its makers seem to have included every masala subplot imaginable. Unlike his last two comeback movies, "Jawan" is better in many ways because its creators, including director Atlee (former assistant director to Rajinikanth in "Enthiran" and "2.0") and his creative team, are better equipped to navigate its many hair-raising turns.
Shah Rukh Khan looks more relaxed in "Jawan" than he has in any of his previous films, gliding leisurely through his signature tics and postures. He looks especially at ease in nondescript musical numbers, and maintains his signature Blue Steel look every time he turns to a slow-motion heel to sneer at his and/or his co-stars.
"Jawan" uses him about as much as his fans can hope for, and he delivers a corny but heartfelt speech later in the film as Azad, reminding us that he is just like us, the apathetic people who, despite their best intentions, don't always vote for government officials.The upcoming general election in India is scheduled for the year 2022. While the makers of ‘Jawan’ could have taken bigger risks, we appreciate their efforts.
