Jaat

“Sacrificed at the altar of all that gruesome blood-letting and mutilated bodies hanging from the rafters and savaged women forced to huddle together is coherence and plot. We are left numb, unmoving, and desensitised in the dark.”

“JAAT is an explosive paisa vasool entertainer with mass moments, and razor-sharp execution.”

“Sunny Deol, at 67, continues to shoulder that responsibility with ease—defying age and expectations, reminding us why he became a mass favourite with Gadar and Ghayal.”

“Jaat is a full-on, South-infused entertainer that delivers exactly what it promises. Once it does and doesn't let up even for a second, you are strapped in for a wild ride.”

“Sunny Paaji proves why there can never be a dull moment with him on the screen. Jaat does have its own flaws but the entertainment quotient hits the right buttons.”

“Jaat delivers exactly what it promises: a nostalgia-fueled action drama powered by its male leads and dialogue-heavy theatrics. But for all its sound and fury, it lacks the courage to push beyond its comfort zone. It’s a decent one-time watch for fans of old-school Deol-led actioners, but for anyone seeking innovation or depth, Jaat may feel like a missed opportunity wrapped in a thunderous punch.”

“Sunny Deol has proved it yet again that age is just a number. It is time for Salman Khan to learn a lesson from him and do age-appropriate movies. This masala-inflected film is a must-watch for several reasons.”

“Sunny Deol's Jaat is a violent Ramayana retelling where "sorry" becomes a running gag. Despite strong performances, the film's excesses leave viewers disappointed by its lack of restraint and narrative coherence.”

“The film is nasty, brutish and long. The 153-minute Jaat is most alert and alive in its elaborately choreographed action set pieces, in which gravity, restraint and logic are skillfully slaughtered as surely as Ranatunga's men. The movie itself is unapologetic about turning massacre into empty spectacle.”

“Gopichand Malineni has arrived! This film-maker in his debut indulgence at storytelling against a pan-India Telugu backdrop for all of 153 minutes packs it all in: 'social drama', 'rich-poor divide', 'corrupt and honest' representatives of the law, 'die-hard patriots', 'music', 'women empowerment', 'thrills', 'adrenaline-oozing fights' and everything else that one could look for in a cinematic a-la-carte.”
