“Jhund” is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language sports drama film directed by Nagraj Manjule and starring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role. The movie is based on the life of Vijay Barse, a retired sports teacher who founded the NGO “Slum Soccer,” which aims to provide underprivileged children with access to sports and education.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising Bachchan’s performance and the inspiring message of the story, while others criticized the predictable and formulaic plot. The movie’s treatment of poverty and social inequality was also debated, with some praising its realistic portrayal while others felt it was overly sentimentalized.
“Jhund” was noted for its uplifting message of hope and perseverance, as well as its portrayal of the transformative power of sports and education. The film’s soundtrack, which features a mix of Hindi and Marathi songs, was also praised for its energy and emotion.
“Jhund” is a well-intentioned and inspiring film that sheds light on important social issues and celebrates the potential of underprivileged youth. While it may not break new ground in terms of storytelling, it is a worthy watch for those looking for a heartwarming and motivational story.
