Joram, the fourth feature film from director Devashish Makhija, juggles multiple tones and narratives. But is it successful at it?
We discuss Manoj Bajpayee’s mostly silent central performance as a displaced tribal man running for his life, and the film’s heavy handed socio-political commentary.
We also wonder if the movie would’ve worked better as a tight 90-minute thriller, and point out a worryingly regressive trend in Makhija’s films.
