Madhavan, Arya , Vishal Krishna Heap Praise for Jai Bhim

 Amazon  Prime Video’s Jai Bhim  which started  streaming on  2 November, has emerged as  one of  the most  avidly watched  Indian films  across the world .

 On the  highly-respected   IMDb movie charts  it has  emerged  with  a 9.6 IMDb  which is   higher than Frank Darrabont’s  Shawshank Redemption which scored a 9.3 on the website.

The film’s leading man Suriya’s  colleagues  from the  Tamil  film industry are  heaping praises  on  Jai Bhim.

R Madhavan who is one of Suriya’s contemporaries is glowing with pride and  praise  for  Jai Bhim.  “I am so very proud and happy for the entire team. It’s a brave and sincere effort. Makes people want to become proactive about the world around them. So proud of Suriya.”

Says  the  ‎Sarpatta Parambarai actor Arya, “I really loved the film .Hats off to Suriya sir for acting and producing such an inspiring  film .At the end of  Jai Bhim one feels very guilty that such casteism and monstrous discrimination exist and we are  sitting quietly on it.”

Star,actor,producer  Vishal Krishna says  Jai Bhim is  a film that  makes  Tamil Nadu  proud. “It is a hardhitting powerful  film, and look at  how far it has reached in no time at all! We are all so proud  of  the film and  Suriya Sir.”

Filmmaker Ananth Mahadevan who has made several  commendable  biopics including  one on the unsung  freedom  fighter  Gaur Hari Dastaan says,  “Popular Indian cinema has often reflected social issues in its work. Whether it is political revolution (Inquilab) police brutality ( Meri Awaaz Suno) or casteism now in Jai Bhim .The common factor in all these films is the necessity to make it palatable to a wider audience.My Marathi film MAI GHAT(official selection and winner at the International Competition, IFFI 2019) was on police brutality and custodial death ..a true story that occurred in Kerala. It was about lower caste exploitation….by their own caste in the police. Which is what happens often.”

  Jai Bhim  is  part of the  4-film  deal that Suriya’s  production house  2D Entertainent made with Amazon. The line-up includes  Jai Bhim, a legal drama starring Suriya along with Prakash Raj, Rao Ramesh, Lijomol Jose, Rajisha Vijayan and Manikandan,  Udanpirappe a family drama starring Sasi Kumar, Suriya’s wife  Jyotika, Samudrakani, Soori, Kalaiyarasan, Niveditha Sathish and Siddhu; Oh My doG a kid’s film starring Arnav Vijay, Arun Vijay, Vijay Kumar, Mahima Nambiar and Vinay Rai; as well as Raame Aandalum Raavane Aandalum, a satire comedy drama starring Ramya Pandian, Vani Bhojan, Mithun Manickam and Vadivel Murugan.
