'Jawan is a political movie, the contemporary reality being narrated in a subtle way. The hospital scene reminded me of Dr Khafeel Khan and the child deaths in a hospital in UP and the current state of affairs, the death of soldiers to some incidents in Phulwama and elsewhere in which the govt. failed to provide the army helicopters (Satpal Malik issue). The farmer suicides issue has also been touched seriously, especially the high interest rate charged by banks compared to the easy interest rate policy towards corporates. The final scene is a direct message to voters - how they should address the elections and what questions they should ask to politicians. Political issues are very subtly handled, never giving the slightest doubt the present govt (govts) is criticised but if you read between the lines you can understand who is targeted. Overall a good entertainment with deep political undertones.'
