Uncover the intricacies of human behavior on the World Television Premiere of the riveting
Vidya Balan starrer crime thriller – Jalsa only on Sony MAX
Mumbai, July 21, 2022
Padma Shree awardee Vidya Balan is admired for captivating the audience with her versatile acting
and indelible roles. The impressive characters that she chooses to play not only brings out the best in
her but also elevates the film altogether. Be it the role of an upcoming actress in ‘The Dirty Picture’, a
woman avenging the murder of her husband in ‘Kahaani’, a forest officer in ‘Sherni’ or a single mother
who raises a 12-year-old boy with a rare genetic disorder in ‘Paa’, she has proven herself to be an
acting powerhouse time and again. And now, she brings the best of her in the psychological thriller
‘Jalsa’. Here’s a chance for viewers to watch an unforgettable story line in this exceptional film as Sony
MAX is all set to air the World Television Premiere of this hard-hitting slow burner on Friday, 22 nd July
9PM.
Commenting on the World Television Premiere, director Suresh Triveni said, “I am extremely excited
that Jalsa is having its World Television Premiere on July 22nd on Sony MAX Jalsa is a unique drama
peppered with the right amount of thrill along with powerful and emotionally complex performances by
the ensemble. It’s been a very special film for me for many reasons and I hope it resonates similarly
with the millions of viewers who will now get a chance to watch it.”
Here are a few reasons why you would not want to miss watching ‘Jalsa’:
Riveting human drama that brings real to reel: There is absolutely no doubt about how well written
and beautifully executed the film is, but the engrossing portrayal of the human psychology, the guilt
and self-introspection is what contributes towards stirring up emotions gradually yet naturally. ‘Jalsa’
has a layered form of storytelling that showcases the easy way out for those in power against the
vulnerability of a common man whilst touching upon numerous subjects including, class divide,
morality, and the struggles of a single mother. If you are prepared to have your mind blown, this film
will ensure just that!
Collaboration of powerful female leads: ‘Jalsa’ is blessed with not one powerful female protagonist
but two. The film marks the coming together of two supremely talented actresses, Vidya Balan and
Shefali Shah, for the very first time on screen. Their chemistry and built-up palpitating tension amidst
the complicated moral clock that continues to tick in their minds, makes it an intriguing watch.
Moreover, the brilliance of the film lies in the two lead characters (Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah)
abstaining from confronting each other verbally and letting their deafening silence speak volumes.
A performer to remember: Despite having the stalwarts of acting in the same film, there’s another
actor who walks tall among them – Surya Kasibhatla, a 14-year-old boy of Indian origin who currently
lives in Texas and is diagnosed with Cerebral palsy. And in the film too, he is essaying the role of a boy
who suffers from an identical disability. The manner in which Surya portrayed his character was truly
exceptional and stood out in the overall narrative.
