Featuring the incredible Vidya Balan, Jalsa, is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. This brilliant film, directed by Suresh Triveni, also stars Shefali Shah in a pivotal role.
Jalsa presents the tale of a hit and run from the viewpoints of the driver, a mother, a journalist, and a cop. As the film goes on, questions are raised only to realize that the truth is rarely pure and never simple.
In a quick take review on seeing the film, I wrote that Jalsa is absolutely brilliant, riveting, maddening, full of drama and tension! Direction by Suresh Triveni creates an incredible next level of filmmaking. Shefali Shah is superb in every scene. What a standing ovation-worthy performance by Vidya Balan – she is outstanding. The best I have seen her on film. I highly recommend you watch this film now!

Vidya Balan (“Kahaani”) and Shefali Shah (“Delhi Crime”), two of India’s finest actors, worked together for the first time in Suresh Triveni’s Amazon Prime Video India original “Jalsa.” The result is an acting masterclass.
The film is a tense social thriller where the lives of Balan’s Maya, a top journalist and Shah’s Rukhsana, Maya’s housekeeper, become inextricably linked together after a horrific incident.
Balan’s morally upright journalist wrestles with an ethical dilemma through the film. The actor initially turned down the film because she did not want to play someone who seemed morally ambiguous, but isn’t, and eventually the role’s challenges changed her decision.
“Maya is successful and she’s in a position of power and there is a certain aloofness to her demeanor,” Balan tells Variety. Balan worked on this aspect, and how the character would react in different situations, with Triveni.

Jalsa (Amazon Prime Video)
Starring Vidya Balan, Shefali Shah, Vidhatri Bandi
Directed by Suresh Triveni
When you have two powerhouse actresses piloting a plot that leans toward a treatise on class-difference in a language that we’ve seen in Bong Joon-Ho’s overrated Parasite, you know you are in for something out of the ordinary.
Jalsa is a special film. It is more layered, provocative and evocative then the outer skin of the product would suggest. There is much going on beneath the surface than outwardly visibly. And how intellectually equipped are the two female heroes Shefali Shah and Vidya Balan to address the rush-hour traffic that the plot’s emotional velocity thrusts on them!
Balan and Shah are the kind of actors who always let us know the storms that hide their characters’ calm. I see Balan’s Maya Menon as much more messed up than she wants the world to see.

Drama about a reporter who knows too much about a gruesome traffic incident checks off a grocery list of urgent questions without examining them
A young girl gets run over at the beginning of Suresh Triveni’s Jalsa, a brutal event that brings to mind Paul Haggis’s Crash, and not in a good way. Just like the painfully unsubtle Oscar winner, here a car accident and coincidences throw a group of people from different backgrounds into difficult dilemmas, forcing them to confront tough moral questions.
Vidya Balan, who also stars in Triveni’s debut Tumhari Sulu, plays Maya Menon, a tough-as-nails reporter priding herself on her unwavering honesty. Her introduction suggests that the film might be a female-driven character study, as Maya is torn between her work and her disabled son. But Jalsa then changes gears dramatically, revealing that Maya is the driver behind the gruesome hit-and-run. To make matters worse,...
