Jai Bhim : Two words for better word
"Jai Bhim’ is perhaps one of the boldest films to have come out of Tamil cinema. It doesn’t dare turn its back on hitting where it hurts the most, and its politics is not weighed down by the presence of a star like Suriya"
-The Hindu
The year 2021 will be a momentous occasion in Indian cinema. We've already seen some fantastic movies. Jai Bhim is a film about justice, or, more accurately, injustice. It teaches us about the power of the law and how to use it to make the world a better place. It is not a battle between low and upper castes. It's not even a struggle against the cops; it's a fight against the entire system. Jai Bhim desires a better world in which humans have human rights. The film is based on a genuine occurrence that occurred in India in 1995. Then, as a result of this occurrence, Rajakanny's wife Senggeni filed a Habeas Corpus, which was historic in Chennai High Court history.
This is a must and an excellent and powerful film, directed by T.J. Gnanavel and performed by Suriya (Chandru), Liijo Mol Jose (Senggeni), and Manikandan (Rajakannu), to name a few brilliant performers.
Let me tell you something before you see the movie, or even if you've already seen it: Jai Bhim is a work of art in the history of Indian cinema. It's not your average movie, but it'll stick with you for a long time. So, allow me to lead you through the film since there is a lot to learn.
The title ‘Jai Bhim’ What does it mean?
As many people are aware, Jai Bhim is a rallying cry made famous by Ambedkar, one of the creators of the Indian Constitution and a Dalit activist. As a result, it is not surprising that the film Jai Bhim concentrates on the difficulties and tribulations of an Adivasi Irular marriage. Jai signifies "Long Live," while Bhim is a tribute to Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. As a result, it's "Long live Ambedkar."In the 1940s, he prepared the Indian constitution and dedicated his life to pushing for an independent India. And what connects Ambedkar and Chandru is a yearning for an India free of caste injustice. Ambedkar originates from an "Untouchable" community, and not because they were the finest VIPs in India.People still greet one other with folded hands and the phrase "Jai Bhim," which means "long live the legacy and inspiration of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar." And now, because to the movie and this message, we may shout "Jai Bhim" all across the world.
As Literature students we always think critically and we have one habit of deep analysis. Here also I try to identify one metaphor in the movie.I don’t know are you aware or not but let’s see…
The metaphor of catching rats and the snake :
T.J. Gnanavel, the film's director, spends a few minutes at the opening of the film describing the village's daily routine. First, Rajakannu and his team go about catching rats so that snakes can be kept away from the crops. Also, refrain from "stealing" food from the designated regions. Then we would be able to enjoy their simple and pleasant lives.But we noticed a strategy to capture the rats:
Rajakunnu blasts smoke at the rats, forcing them to step out and be trapped.
His brother, from the other side of the pitch, assists him in sending smoke beneath the earth.
Senggeni grabs them and saves one small mouse to complete the operation.
Three people must work together just to apprehend the terrifying rats that are hidden beneath the earth. And we'll need three more individuals to apprehend and imprison the crooked cops who were skimming money and mercilessly abusing the villagers: Chandru, Mythra, and, ultimately, Senggeni to complete the operation. They wanted to blow new proofs to the court slowly and carefully to keep this story alive till the contaminated ones had to emerge out and be apprehended by their colleagues. The filmmaker reveals Chandru as the snake of the dirty cops in a stunning image.
We stated Senggeni saved the life of a small mouse, and we may say the same about Chandru. Not all cops are wicked. Cooperation between Chandru and the truthful side of the police, as represented by Perumalsami, is critical to ensuring justice and democracy.
We essentially applied "Jai Bhim" to the truth of the this film: untouchable people gained justice, brought about by the strength of the law and the commitment of the health portion of government officials: judges and police. It's a fantastic and moving film.
Rajakannu and Sengenni. Ethics is for leaders but also for simple people :
When Rajakannu was suffering from the pains of the officers, his brother advised that he fabricate a fib and accept the crime in order to be free after a time. This may be the simplest answer, but it is not the best. And Rajakannu cautions his brother that while the wounds will heal, the mark as a thief will last forever.
When the police offer Senggeni money in exchange for silence, we can tell her the same thing. She rejects boldly, putting everything on the line for her spouse and justice. But she also wants to be a true role model for her children. The distinction between heroes and nameless characters is one of ethics.Chandru awakens spirits throughout the film, and we hope though after. Around the same time, integrity is what keeps our hearts pumping, our minds thinking, and our eyes filled with hope.
As previously stated, let me be honest and forthright: I am evaluating a masterpiece. Some viewers may argue that two hours and forty-five minutes is too long for a film to focus on delivering its message. We do, in fact, have long moments in which we may observe the simple and joyful life in the hamlet. However, these are required in order to form a relationship and learn about our personalities. I have a lot of songs throughout the film, but it's also true that music is a big part of Indian movies. Every piece adds to our understanding of the story and our characters. One of the songs, "It's a war for equal rights," for example, focuses on reawakening our souls. "Reclaim the authority; justice is for all," he says.
It's a film that requires time to establish trust and immerse us in the tale. Perhaps the filmmaker doesn't tell us enough about Ambedkar, the film's true inspiration. Anyway, we caught the idea and attempted to convey it to you through our analysis.
