3 Reasons to Watch Kathal A Jackfruit Mystery Movie
1. A Satirical Comedy Drama
There is so much of satire in the entire movie, that jells good with the script. The characters have a perfect comical thread in them, that makes the movie feel like a perfect dress woven with good screenplay, writing and performance. The comic scenes don’t feel forced rather it feels perfect and connects with the plot.
2. Breaking Stereotypical Thoughts on Jobs of a Couple
The film shows inspector Mahima and her constable boyfriend Saurabh face a conflict just because the woman in this relationship is in a higher rank at work than the man. This particular reason throws a wall in-between their relationship but later they find a way to break the wall.
3. Breaking Stereotypical Thoughts on Caste System
Many of us are progressing forward in the society, throwing the long lasting bias on caste system that has been dividing people into upper and lower caste. This film perfectly shows that caste system does exist in our society and how the lower caste sometimes become victim for the things that they don’t commit. But, the film also shows how a person from lower caste like Mahima is now an inspector, who aspires to break these stereotypes, treat people as people and not on the basis of which caste they belong to.
This film also shows that a lot of girls who went missing in the village was not found rather they only exist in the photographs in the missing person records. Mahima uses this as an opportunity to find the gardener’s missing daughter Amiya and also hopes to find these missing girls someday.
Sanya Malhotra as Mahima, is convincing in her role as not only a determined and strict police officer but also as someone who is compassionate and someone who could solve puzzles of this mystery easily. Anant V Joshi as Saurabh, a struggling constable did a good performance. A brewing romance between the inspector and constable looks decent and not very exaggerated.
MLA Pateira is an old school superstitious person who is greedy to expand his political position with a very clumsy family and a spoiled child. Vijay Naaz as Pateira really fits like a perfect button on a shirt. Rajpaal Yadav with his comical appearance and dialogues, brings out quite the comical elements. Music was good with lyrics connected to the story and situation, interwoven with the film.
Though the film, breaks certain preconceived notions in the society, it does go with what the society wants people to do at some parts of the film. Some scenes were a bit too lengthy and the film does not answer all the questions it started with. Did they find Uncle Hong Kathals? Watch the film to find out.
