Jogi movie review: JOGI is a delicate and mainstream film that conveys a poignant story and is supported by a fantastic performance

The year is 1984 and the Prime Minister of India is assassinated by her Sikh guards. As a result, members of the Sikh community start getting attacked in the National Capital. Tejpal Arora (Kumud Mishra), the MLA of Trilokpuri, decides to massacre Sikhs in his constituency. Tajinder is burned alive along with his shop. Jogi, his family, Heer and other Sikh residents of Lane no 6 take refuge in Gurudwara.

His friend, Kaleem Ansari (Paresh Pahuja), who runs a truck business, devises an escape plan.JOGI is one of the few films on the anti-Sikh riots in India. Ali Abbas Zafar and Sukhmani Sadana’s screenplay is simple and engaging. The flashback portion in the second half hampers the film’s impact.

Director Ali Abbas Zafar’s direction is neat. The riot scenes are well executed and the same goes for the emotional moments. The message of religious identity comes across convincingly. The film falters majorly in the second half involving Kammo (Amyra Dastur).

The finale is moving and the flashback portion is nice, but comes too late in the day. Diljit Dosanjh delivers a power-packed performance in JOGI. Kumud Mishra is great as the antagonist. Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub delivers a bravura performance as Kaleem. Arvinder Singh Gill (Jogi’s father), Charu Kumar, Samarjit Singh Mahajan and K P Singh are fair. JOGI tells a moving tale in a sensitive and yet mainstream manner and rests on the brilliant performance of Diljit Dosanjh. The weak second half dilutes the impact to an extent. Julius Packiam’s background score is one of the USPs that adds to the film’s thrill.

When her ex-boyfriend Arjun Kapoor finally says, “I am single,” Malaika Arora responds, “It is time to move on.”

Malaika Arora says she is ready to move on as she reacts to Arjun Kapoor’s ‘I am single’ remark. 
Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor parted ways this year after being together for several years. While Arjun admitted to being single at a promotional event for his film, Malaika had been tight-lipped about her breakup with the actor. Now, in an interview with Etimes, Malaika has reacted to the Singham Again actor’s statement.

Malaika Arora on Arjun Kapoor’s ‘I am single’ statement

Malaika Arora called Arjun Kapoor’s viral ‘I am single’ statement his prerogative and said, “I am a very private person, and there are certain aspects of my life which I don’t want to elaborate on much. I will never choose a public platform to talk about my personal life. So, whatever Arjun has said is entirely his prerogative. I just want to say that, yes, it has been a very trying year for various reasons. I think it is time for all of us to move on from whatever transpired in the year that went by. I am ready for the New Year and a new start in my life.”

When Arjun Kapoor confirmed his breakup with Malaika Arora

Earlier, during the promotions of his film, Singham Again, Arjun Kapoor told the paparazzi, “Nahin, ab main single hoon, relax karo (No, I am now single. Relax).” With this statement, the actor put an end to his breakup rumours with Malaika Arora.

Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor started dating in 2018. However, they did not talk much about their relationship in public. They regularly shared romantic pictures from their vacations. Even after their breakup, when Malaika Arora’s father passed away, Arjun Kapoor was there to support the actor during the difficult time. Talking about the same, Arjun Kapoor told Raj Shamani in a recent interview, “In life, without going into one instance, I’d like to say when what happened with Khushi, Janhvi, there is an instinct and impulse. In this case, also, there is an instinct and impulse. If I formed an emotional bond with somebody, I’d always lie to believe that I’d be there regardless of the good and the bad…I’m not somebody who is doing this for all and sundry. If I feel an emotion with someone, it will be there for life.”
