Jal movie review: Strictly avoid this one, if you are a masala-movie junkie
by
Girish Malik's Jal might have been mounted as a visually delightful experimental cinema with the adequate flavours of a masala entertainer, but in reality it is just a complicated ontage of stunningly shot visuals that will leave your head numb.
Jal is set in a small village in Kutch where water is more precious than life itself. A young orphan tries to find out where villagers dig to find water.The neighbouring village doesnt have water issues as it houses the village head's daughter Kesar (Kirti Kulhari), for whom Bakka has a liking. Adding another dimension to the story is Russian ornithologist Kim, played by German-origin actor Saidah Jules
Even with sincere performances from the actors and brilliant cinematography, the story-line that remains as barren as the never-ending land of Rann of Kutch.
All in all, Jal is a stunning looking movie that fails spectacularly at telling an engaging story!
We give it one and a half stars out of five
