They continue to make the IMDb Top 250 every now and then, so despite my mostly negative experiences with Bollywood, another one pops up every now and then. And no, Jai Bhim doesn't make me very happy either. Unfortunately, I can only agree with John Milton. To start with the few positive notes, the film has its heart in the right place with an indictment of police brutality against lower castes/minorities. And, it's not some terrible romantic comedy or tearjerker that Aamir Khan used to make, and it doesn't have any singing. But it remains a cinema that I really can't do much with, and where apparently very different things are appreciated than what I like to see in films. It's starting to become a bit of a structural story.

Here again. Zero subtlety, everyone is clearly good or clearly bad, and every point of the story is hammered in with great repetition and the blunt axe. Everything in the story is repeated ad nauseam, so you really can't miss the point. Over the top acting with amateur stage level in the supporting roles, and with the exaggerated grand gesture in the slightly larger roles. Another protagonist who is so morally pure and heroic that it would make Jesus jealous. And while it must have had a pretty decent budget, Jai Bhim comes across as quite amateurish, with bad dubs, story wise, acting level, it's kind of a TV movie at best. And yes, it takes another 2.5, almost 3 hours. I'm not looking forward to the new Top Gun, but that seems like a more entertaining way to round out the Top 250.
