A gem of a movie, wonderful dialogues, good actors, and great chemistry between the lovers

What i found specially interesting in Jalsa was that besides the main track, the movie encompasses multiple contemporary tracks and does justice to them. Domestic servants, disability, divorce, single mother, adolescent dreams, police procdures, even a Russian wife. Acting is superb. Both the protagonists turn in great performances, I think Shefali Shah has done very well. Another feature that stuck me was the scarcity of dialogues. Characters do not speak much, but the story gets conveyed. The main track is off course a quintessential theme in literature, the struggle with one's own conscience. Ending is good. A compelling watch.

Full marks to this physcho thriller movie, the twist in the tale is fantastic and deeply unsettling. I had avoided seeing the movie so far thinking it to be a bio pic of a serial killer. It does that and much more.

Great movie. Ensemble caste. Director handles multiple sub themes with aplomb

May be the genre is long pass, but just could not figure out why it should be classified as an all time great
