Vidya Balan's Jalsa released on Amazon Prime Video on March 18. Let's find out what the janta thinks about it!
Jalsa is a crime thriller about how the lives of two bold women Maya Menon (Vidya Balan) and Rukhsana (Shefali Shah), are intertwined with each other due to a hit and run case and the chaos that follows. The movie is written and directed by Suresh Triveni who previously also directed Vidya Balan in Tumhari Sulu and produced by T-series and Abudantia Entertainment Production. The supporting cast includes Rohini Hattangadi(Rukmini), Maya Menon's mother. Vidhatri Bandi plays Rohini, a young journalist who is looking to make a mark with her first story. Shrikanth Yadav as head constable, More, is working on his last case before he retires. Iqbal Khan plays Amar, Maya's colleague, and friend. Surya Kashibhatla as Ayush Menon, Maya's specially-abled son, and Manav Kaul as Anand, Ayush's father, and Maya's ex-husband.
Maya Menon is an honest and daring journalist who is dedicated to her job and her channel. One fateful night, she fortuitously runs her car into an 18 year-old-girl in the middle of the night. The plot thickens when the innocent girl turns out to be Rukhsana's daughter who has been Maya's loyal maid and the primary caretaker of her household while she's away at work. The two are at a crossroads when Rukhsana tries to find out the truth behind her daughter's accident but is stripped of her basic dignity by the system and Maya tries to cover her tracks by putting on a brave face for as long as she can and suppress the story as she gets more anxious by the day. The center of this gripping story revolves around the layers of truth about our society that the movie unveils as we move forward and the power of womanhood.
Let's find out what the Janta thinks about this women centric crime-drama!
Jalsa is a masterpiece thriller, gripping movie from two powerhouses of talent.

I think Bollywood needs such movies that maximally deal with emotions other than those old action and comedy concepts,it was a great experience to watch jalsa.

The tremors, trembling & palpitations that adrenaline does to a body is beautifully manifested by @vidya_balan in #Jalsa, a movie where mother & motherhood is brilliantly juxtaposed to each other.

Jalsa is a movie which is finely crafted with shefali shah acting her heart out! Vidya Balan only shines in the end in a beautiful but stress-inducing sequence.

It’s unlikely that I stay awake till 2am, & tweet about a movie at such an odd hour!
But “Jalsa“ called for it.
My words won’t do justice to this cinematic brilliance.
Don’t miss this!
Take a bow, @ShefaliShah_ ,@vidya_balan & Suresh Triveni. #JalsaOnPrime pic.twitter.com/OjN2gHpNXO

52. #Jalsa | Prime Video#Jalsa is the kind of movie that helps us reinstall faith in Hindi film industry, and we need more of these. Look closely, and it's a story about 5 women Ruksana, Maya, Alia, Rohini and Maya's mom. The way they justify the title makes one elated. pic.twitter.com/BjOKGR2Pi3

The new movie #Jalsa is quite good. A slow burner thriller with two powerful women actors.I have special fondness for films based in Bombay. The city is often one lovely character in the films.
