Watch Jagadam For Free

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Jagadam is one of those movies that stand out to be different. Unlike other movies, this film actually has a story and a powerful message conveyed to the youth. Sure, the movie may be a rip-off of City of God, but what the heck? I was surprised that this movie was a flop. The only thing that worked against the movie was the stupid Central Board of Film Certification. They ordered 33 cuts from the movie and on top of that, they gave the film an 'A' certificate. If the movie had that many cuts, of course it wouldn't be as good as it just ruins the flow of the movie. Also , the CBFC changed the song "Violence is a fashion" to "Jagadam is a fashion" and the name SANIA MIRZA got edited out of the song "5 feet 8 inches". For a regular cinegoer, this wouldn't be a film they would like, but if u like critically acclaimed films, then go for it!

There are kind of movies that put you to sleep.There are kind of movies that cause headache. But this is a mixture of both. You get a splitting headache in the first half. You go out and have an aspirin in the interval and come back expecting at least something and end up sleeping until the end. The narration begins with the prodigy( don't expect much from this guy) wishing and willing to become a gangster since childhood. He steps forward later to become indeed a gangster. Wont his parent ever bother about his well being . It is never ever referenced except once in the whole movie. What the director really want s to portray is not understood. Such a piece of stupid crap this is.

The film is technically good, thanks to the Super 35 format and the Digital Intermediate. The story of the film is quite new. It's about a young guy who gets interested into violence. He idolizes a big goonda and wants to be a part of his gang. But certain events causes him to turn against the gang and hence, he starts his own gang. There is one twist in the end that ought to get everyone's attention. I think we shouldn't be criticizing the makers but rather applauding them because this whole film was made with young talents (producer, actor, actress, director, music director, cinematographer,). The lead actor(Ram), Sukumar's story and screenplay, Ratnavelu's brilliant cinematography, and Devi Sri Prasad's wonderful music were the USP of the film. For such a team to make such a different movie, hats off to them!!
