The strong and very emotion stirring black and white approach of JAI BHIM can be forgiven because of its important subject matter. And then its a really well-produced, if somewhat lengthy, powerful and gripping courtroom thriller.

Rated: 8/10

Suriya inhabits the role of a firebrand advocate with ease. It is as if he's not just performing the lines written by the director, but believes in every word and gesture he delivers in this film.

Rated: 4/5

Suriya, stepping out from his comfort zone, slips into the skin of activist-advocate Chandru, who made a career out of standing up for landless tribals before becoming a judge.

Rated: 3.5/5

It's too long and belabors some moments - but the caste system being challenged in the court room is powerful.

I was a bit scared about tackling an almost 3 hour legal movie. I had to swallow my trepidation. From the start I was drawn into this very emotional, brutal and heartwrenching true tale. This is not only a court-house drama, it shows the brutality of a police force that puts standing and results above the lifes of humans. And the scenery we are shown is truly shocking. As shocking as Schindler's List. No punches are pulled, we are shown fully what these innocent people went through. The actions of the police force really are disgusting. It is also brilliantly shot and made. My biggest gripes come down to a cultural difference. (I didn't like the songs in it, but I recognize that's how movies are made in India so I do not include it in my judgement of the film). I had no idea that such things happened. But, I am grateful that a movie can teach me these things, even if they were shocking to witness. My thanks go out to the makers of this movie and I hope it will bring a positive change in policies and actions of those in charge.

I saw it since it was on the IMDB 250 list and I expect it only resonated with the India population more so than anywhere else. It did have a good story, but I was disappointed with the melodrama and its over the top suffering / injustice. I enjoyed seeing a dramatic court in India. Perhaps it could be made into a more approachable feature. Saw on Amazon.
