Jawan is (meaning Soldier), a much-anticipated Indian action thriller marking the Hindi directorial debut of Atlee. This high-octane film is produced by Gauri Khan and Gaurav Verma under their banner, Red Chillies Entertainment.

Boasting a star-studded cast, Jawan sees Shah Rukh Khan in dual roles, adding to the intrigue and drama. He is joined by the talented Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Priyamani, and Sanya Malhotra, while Deepika Padukone makes a noteworthy special appearance.

In September 2021, the wheels for Jawan were set in motion. The film's shooting spanned across breathtaking locations from Pune to Rajasthan and Mumbai to Aurangabad, capturing diverse cultural backdrops. The film's music is crafted by the renowned Anirudh Ravichander, while the aesthetic visuals are the result of G. K. Vishnu's skilled cinematography, and the sharp editing is the brainchild of Ruben.

Originally, Jawan was all set to hit the silver screens on 2 June 2023, but some unfinished post-production work pushed the schedule. Now, marking the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, Jawan is all geared up for its grand theatrical release on 7 September 2023, available in standard, IMAX, 4DX, and other premium formats. Stay tuned with us as we continue to bring you more behind-the-scenes glimpses and thrilling updates on Jawan.

Reviews

Jawan Movie Review

Jawan, directed by Atlee, is a high-octane action thriller that is underscored by a strong narrative filled with surprising twists and turns. Shah Rukh Khan (SRK), in his refreshing avatar as an action hero, delivers a magnetic performance as Captain Vikram Rathod, a vigilant jailer doubling as a desi Robin Hood. But at the heart of his brimming machismo, lies the soft, sensitive charm that classic SRK is renowned for.

The film excels in seamlessly blending emotions and familial drama with fast-paced action. Notable performances come from co-stars like Deepika Padukone, Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Girija Oak, and Lehar Khan, who all lend ample support to make the movie memorable. Particularly, Padukone's extended cameo leaves a lasting impact, and Sethupathi befits the villain's role with his peculiar blend of humor and rage.

Jawan displays an interesting mix of cultural and meta references, reminiscing viewers of popular TV shows, classic Hindi songs, and hit movies. Behind this mixture is a well-cooked tale coated with SRK-Atlee tadka. The structured story swings between humor, tragedy, and revenge, evidently penned by versatile writers Sumit Arora, Atlee, and Ramanagirivasan.

While the movie is indeed an action fest, it's heavily laced with political, personal, and social statements. SRK's expression of staunch democratic faith, and his distinct approach towards religious politics, forms the spine of the movie's underlying theme. The movie also rises beyond the action genre by giving due space to female actors and making powerful comments on fatherhood.

The film boasts of a befitting musical score by Anirudh Ravichander, with Zinda Banda and Chaleya standing out in the lot, although an abrupt placement of the latter could have been avoided. The animation, graphics, and the overall editing of the movie sit well with the audience, even though a tighter editing for its lengthy runtime of 2 hours 49 minutes might have done wonders.

In essence, Jawan isn't just a feast for action-lovers, catering to an adrenaline rush, but serves as a diverse palate for those seeking a mixture of a thrilling narrative, embodied performances, and socio-political undertones. Audiences who appreciate this blend, sprinkled with SRK's action hero resurrection, will find Jawan to their liking—a classic masala movie haven in true Bollywood style.

Character Analysis

Shah Rukh Khan as Vikram Rathore and Azaad Rathore

Shah Rukh Khan shines in his dual role as Vikram and Azaad Rathore. Vikram's character delivers intrigue and grandeur, echoing the heroes of gothic folktales with his face concealed by gauze and riding across the screen on a flaming horse. His transformation into Azaad 30 years later brings us an entirely different character, a bald-headed, wisecracking vigilante who, along with his female posse, hijacks a Mumbai metro. The Azaad character is given depth as it's revealed that he also serves as a jailer at a high-security women’s prison by day, and an ethical terrorist by night. Shah Rukh Khan embraces these paradoxes, giving us the thrilling anti-hero dynamic that has defined some of his best performances.

Nayanthara as Narmada Rai Rathore

Nayanthara's portrayal of Narmada, Azad's wife, brings nuance to the plot. She is first introduced as a sentient observer to Azad's hijack planning but, later, complements the goofiness and intensity of Azad's character by being the fearless negotiator. Nayanthara underplays her typical heroine role, demonstrating a nuanced mastery of her character.

Vijay Sethupathi as Kaalie Gaikwad

Vijay Sethupathi leaves a compelling impression as the mean, bearded arms dealer, Kaali. His menacing demeanor and clear antagonistic intent frame him as the cornerstone of conflict in the film. Sethupathi unleashes his wild side in the later scenes, bringing the much-needed villainy to the story.

Deepika Padukone as Aishwarya Rathore

Deepika Padukone's cameo as Aishwarya, Vikram's wife, though brief, is memorable. Her presence is powerful, exhibited through a flashback scene in which she is seen slamming Khan in the mud. Despite her limited screen time, she leaves an impression on the grand canvas of the film.

Priyamani as Lakshmi

Though the character analysis does not provide much detail about Priyamani's role as Lakshmi, the narrative suggests that each character, regardless of screentime, contributes to the film's riveting dynamics, grounded in sociopolitical themes and Bollywood aesthetics.

Behind the scenes

Check out a behind-the-scenes video of Jawan's movie song 'Zinda Banda.' The video shows how the song was shot twice by Shah Rukh Khan in Hindi an Tamil so he'll be able to connect with both of the audience.

Controversy 

The Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara-starrer Jawan trailer release sparked a trend involving controversial NCB officer Sameer Wankhede. The dialogue spoken by Shah Rukh Khan's character after the credit line, Bete ko haath lagane se pahle, baap se baat kar, was perceived by fans as a message to Wankhede and his allies in Delhi. Social media users, particularly on Twitter and Reddit, saw this as a response to the arrest of Aryan Khan led by Wankhede in October 2021, followed by a media frenzy. Aryan was granted bail and cleared of charges, while Wankhede was later accused of corruption and extortion, with allegations suggesting the drug charges were an attempted blackmail against the Khan family.
