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.

"Jai Bhim" doesn't hold back and is very difficult to watch in many moments. This is a movie that strives to tell an important story that is disturbing and often frustrating. I can see what the movie was going for and I found myself very uneasy throughout the movie. A bulk of the story is an engaging courtroom drama and that is where I felt like I was given a break from the harrowing and brutal violence. I won't say this is a casual watch in any way, but it is a great movie. I would have called the extreme violence in this movie overkill if it wasn't based on a real story. To honor the events it is based on, it is important for it to create such a sickening reaction and it makes the courtroom sequences more exhilarating. It sheds some light on real issues and showcases a strong central mystery. I felt the movie was a bit too long and some moments felt a bit too much like I was watching a movie, which is an odd criticism since a lot of this movie is very realistic. Overall, it is a gripping and very saddening movie that is downright unwatchable at times, but for all of the right reasons it got an effective reaction out of me.

I haven't watched that many Tamil films but I can assure you one thing this is a must watch. This movie will always have a special place in my heart. In world full of mainstream films this is what is needed in Indian cinema. Don't think watch it now. Jai Bhim.
