Confronted by the sudden brutal murder of his wife, his own history of violence and a system that wants him crushed at any cost, immigrant laborer Bala (aka Dasru) flees with his infant daughter, Joram, from a metropolis to his erstwhile home in distant forests, to negotiate their survival with a bloody past that he had mistakenly thought was left behind for good.

Manoj Bajpayee is effective, needless to say, but is given a limited register of despair and terror.

Rated: 2.5/5

Observer (UK)

This gritty, propulsive chase thriller combines a heart-in-mouth survival story with a backdrop of simmering violence and political unrest...

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

Where many thrillers programmatically crank up tension with every scene and every beat, Devashish Makhija’s third feature feels different; this manhunt is weighed down by an almost agonised oppressiveness.

Rated: 4/5

Joram is effectively a new version of The Fugitive (and a rather good one at that).

Joram isn't only a film about a man's endurance, there's equal spotlight on the calamity rural-urban migrations bring with them...

Rated: 3/5

Film Companion

A film like Joram doesn’t stop existing. It’s only the cameras that stop recording.

I'd read many great reviews about this one and was expecting something as good as Manoj's 'Bandaa' but it was too disappointing for me.

CARPE D

Dark and accurate potrayal of corporate and governmental take over of jungles for mining and dams, and how it impacts the tribal population. It's not strictly an entertainer but a wake-up call to draw the line between so called development and conservation. "Crop no longer grows here Iron is everywhere"." What happened to the river and jungle here".

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I finally understood tribal issues. I don't think we hear the real thing in the media. Each and every scene was so realistic. Movie felt like I was getting a glimpse into the real lives of advasis. Great acting, writing, direction, great everything! 👍

'Joram' is a difficult yet refreshingly unconventional thriller that is masterfully crafted and performed.
