Jalsa is a 2022 Bollywood drama movie, directed by Suresh Triveni. The movie stars Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah in the lead roles. Suresh Triveni has earlier collaborated with Vidya Balan for the critically acclaimed Tumhari Sulu, and the duo is now coming together for the second feature. It also marks the third collaboration between Prime Video and Vidya Balan.
What works
The main attraction of the jalsa is Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah who amaze with their magical performances. Both are brilliant in emotional scenes. The other cast also excelled, especially that Kid who played AYUSH.
What not works
Jalsa seemed to be crawling in many places. Many scenes in the second half could not make an impact. The climax scenes were not convincing either.
Bottomline
Jalsa excels with the performances of leading actors. Yet it remains a work of art that stands between thriller and drama.
