Just out from watching “Jalebi"...... I was too stunned with emotions and was left spellbound! Only when I processed the intense story.....characters....their emotions and journey that I realised the brilliance of it. The movie is a class ! How a girl resolves her years of resentment and angst through a simple train journey where she discovers herself again...I loved how the story moves by connecting dots from past through present....very beautifully and cleverly depicted....like pearls in a necklace! There are no loose ends in the story. Some may find the pace a little slow but emotional resolves need patience. The strong messages like “ It's not always a woman who needs to sacrifice for making a relation beautiful" and “ If you love a flower do not pluck....water it" ....in this case....it was letting go! The twists in the storyline..... like the truth about child.....end of the movie..... are just like twists in a jalebi. Other relatable characters in the form of co passengers and how they contribute to the main story is again a genius. In all....I loved this jalebi and its everlasting after taste in heart! The music is amazing and soulful and most important...the songs are situational and relate to the story! A must watch for anyone and everyone who is not afraid of emotions! Bravo team Jalebi and well done Pushpdeep Bhardwaj!
