Jogi Movie Review: Diljit Dosanjh is a talented singer and actor who appeared in Punjabi movies before making his Hindi cinema debut in “Udta Punjab.” Later, Diljit appeared in a few comedies including “Arjun Patiala,” “Good News,” and “Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari,” but the films didn’t make the necessary money at the box office. The latest film “Jogi” starring Diljit Dosanjh is now streamable on Netflix without first going to theatres. Let’s examine this film in depth to see whether it’s worthwhile to stream it on Netflix.

They make the life-threatening decision to jeopardize their own safety in order to save hundreds of others who are trapped in the town’s rioting.

Movie Verdict
When a movie is based on a true story, it will undoubtedly resonate with the audience since some of them may have been in that scenario or may have lived it. One such film featuring events and circumstances that would undoubtedly resonate with the Indian audience is Jogi. Despite being only one hour and 56 minutes long, the movie never seems rushed because of the emotional passages that draw us in. The actors excellently portray emotional sequences on screen that are very well written and acted.
Diljit Dosanjh did a fantastic job acting, and his performance will undoubtedly be remembered long after the film has ended. Mohd. Kumud Mishra is a fantastic actor who can handle any kind of character assigned to him, and the actor never disappoints with his performance. Zeeshan Ayyub is another talented actor who is misused in the Hindi cinema industry, as evidenced by his performance once again in this movie. All of the actors, including Amyra Dastur, played their roles as necessary for the plot.
The Jogi movie seems alright technically. The music written by Julius Packiam and Sameer Uddin is appropriate for the scenes and enhances the viewer’s emotions. With a few frames, the cinematography of Marcin, LaskaWiec, and USC Marcin appears alright, but the cinematographers’ overall efforts fall short of expectations. A special mention should go to the art department for their efforts in re-creating the 1980s environment. This film’s production quality is adequate.
The film’s director, Ali Abbas Zafar, was satisfied with the actor’s directing technique and commitment to the storyline without any needless detours.
Jogi is an overall compelling and watchable emotional drama based on real events that will undoubtedly make you feel depressed.
