Plot

edit

In a Northeast India, a man is thrown off a place into a river. The man is found by a tribal group, whose leader takes the man in and fixes him for several months. When the tribe is attacked, the man wakes up and saves them. He becomes the tribe's messiah, but is revealed to have lost his memory. A boy in the tribe promises that he will one day find out the man's identity.

Azad, the jailer of a women's prison in Mumbai, hijacks a Mumbai Metro train with a group of six inmates: Lakshmi, Eeram, Iskra, Kalki, Helana and Janvi, holding the passengers hostage. When a police officer captures one of the girls, Azad ties him up, but doesn't hurt him. Azad also shoots a woman. Upon enquiry, Azad narrates about the suicide of Kalki's father, a poor farmer, who was harassed by the bank over his inability to pay loans. Azad negotiates with Force One officer Narmada Rai to ask the Agriculture Minister to send 40,000 crore in exchange for the hostages' lives. Kalee Gaikwad, a global arms dealer, learns that his daughter Alia is one of the captives and agrees to fund the deal. Azad plans to donate the money toward the loan waiver of 7,00,000 impoverished farmers in the country. It is also revealed that the woman shot was really one of Azad's girls. Azad and his gang transfer the funds into the farmers' bank accounts and escape. Through Alia, Azad reveals his name as Vikram Rathore to Kalee. The police officer starts looking through government files for something.

Narmada's daughter Suchi looks for a potential father for her and husband for Narmada and she gets impressed by Azad. Upon her daughter's request, Narmada marries Azad, unaware of his true identity. Azad and his gang kidnap the Health Minister and demand better infrastructure at government hospitals in exchange for the Health Minister's life. Azad reveals that Eeram, who was a doctor at that hospital, demanded oxygen cylinders for children suffering from Encephalitis, but was denied the supply due to negligence by the Health Secretary. The infrastructure is immediately upgraded and Azad and his gang escape again. After their wedding, Narmada discovers Azad's true identity and Kalee's brother Manish captures and tortures the couple. Azad is saved by his doppelgänger Vikram Rathore. Narmada confronts Azad's accomplices in the prison by disguising herself as an inmate, where she learns about Azad and Vikram's connection.

Past: In 1986, Captain Vikram Rathore, a commando in the Special Ops unit of the Indian Army, is sent on an operation in which his team faced casualties caused by malfunctioning weaponry. Vikram and his team files a complaint against Kalee, who is the supplier of the weapons. In the same night, Kalee attacks Vikram and his wife Aishwarya, separating them and shooting Vikram off a plane. Aishwarya is sentenced to prison for killing three cops on Kalee's payroll, who were threatening her. Vikram is declared a national traitor. Aishwarya gives birth to their child Azad in prison. When Azad turns five, Aishwarya asked him to prove Vikram's innocence and provide justice to the oppressed. Aishwarya gets hanged to death. Unknown to the world, Vikram survives the attack and was the man that saved the tribe. He had just been living with the tribe until he was found by his friends recently.

Present: The man looking through the government files is revealed the boy who promised Vikram that he will find out who he is and reunites Azad and Vikram. Azad kills Irani and steals Kalee's trucks, with his team, Vikram and his friends. Narmada's subordinate Irani is revealed to be on Kalee's payroll. Irani tries to shoot them, where Lakshmi gets killed in the crossfire. After that, the group steals trucks that contain money for the upcoming elections that will be used to boost Kalee's political ambitions, but Vikram and his friends are captured by Kalee's henchmen. Azad releases a video to the public and states that he has also stolen voting machines and demands the sealing of 53 factories in the country responsible for air and water pollution. The factories are sealed by the government. Kalee arrives after finding out that Vikram and Azad are two different people and he never killed Vikram. A fight ensues, where Vikram finally recovers his memory after hearing a gun malfunction. He and Azad fight together to defeat Kalee and his men. Finally, they hang Kalee to death like Aishwarya was once hung.

Few months later, STF officer Madhavan Naik, who helped Azad in the completion of his missions, assigns him a new mission targeting Swiss banks.

Production

Development

edit

In October 2019, it was reported that Shah Rukh Khan would collaborate with Tamil film director Atlee for his film after Zero (2018).[12] Harish Shankar, who was present at the promotion event for Bigil, confirmed the collaboration between Atlee and Khan.[13] During COVID-19 lockdown in India, Atlee narrated the story to Khan in 2020, through Zoom call.[14] In May 2021, it was reported that the filming would commence soon.[15] The film is produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, while Gaurav Verma serves as a co-producer.[16] The company made a public announcement on 3 June 2022, confirming the project.[17] The film was made on a budget of 300 crores.[18]

Atlee co-wrote the film's script along with S. Ramana Girivasan, in his fourth consecutive collaboration with the director.[19] Sumit Arora contributed the dialogues.[20] Atlee further retained most of his norm technicians including cinematographer G. K. Vishnu, editor Ruben, art director T. Muthuraj and stunt director Anal Arasu.[21] Spiro Razatos,[22] Craig Macrae,[23] Yannick Ben,[24] Kecha Khamphakdee and Sunil Rodrigues were also hired as stunt directors.[25][26] Dance choreographers of the film includes Farah Khan, Vaibhavi Merchant, Shobi and Lalitha.[27]

Casting

edit

Mukesh Chhabra was the casting director.[28] Khan was reported to play a dual role, as father and son, and would be seen in six different looks.[29] Nayanthara was finalised as the female lead opposite Khan, thus marking her Hindi cinema debut.[30] Priyamani, Sunil Grover, Sanya Malhotra and Yogi Babu later joined the cast. Reuniting with Khan after a decade, Babu last acted opposite Khan in Chennai Express (2013);[31] however, he was only present in the Tamil version.[citation needed] Rana Daggubati was offered the antagonist role but declined citing health issues and thus the role went to Vijay Sethupathi.[32] Deepika Padukone joined the cast in August 2022 in Chennai to shoot her special appearance.[33] In September 2022, Vijay was reported to be making a cameo in the film,[34] but later Atlee denied the news clarifying that he himself was making a cameo.[35] In March 2023, Sanjay Dutt joined the cast to shoot for a cameo during an action scene.[36] Allu Arjun was approached to play a cameo but declined the role citing his commitments to Pushpa 2.[37]

Filming

edit

Principal photography commenced in September 2021 in Pune.[38] Some scenes of Jawan were filmed at the Sant Tukaram Nagar metro station in Pune from 30 August to 15 September 2021. The station also appeared in the film's poster where Khan appears to sit at the metro station.[39] It became the first film to be shot at Pune Metro.[40] Additionally, a 135-foot dummy train was built and fabricated at a film studio in Goregaon where important train sequences were filmed.[41] Khan resumed the shoot in June 2022 in Hyderabad.[42] Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara joined the 10–days shoot.[43] Nayanthara joined the Mumbai schedule on 26 June 2022, after her marriage.[44] Some family sequences were shot during this schedule.[45]

In August, the next schedule started in Chennai, where Deepika Padukone shot her cameo part.[46][47] Later Vijay Sethupathi joined the shoot. Some action sequences between Khan and Sethupathi were taken in this schedule.[48][49] The song "Zinda Banda" was shot during this schedule, in jail.[50] The song, which shot for 5 days included 1000 dancers, and was choreographed by Shobi Paulraj.[51] The song was also reshot for the Tamil version as "Vandha Edam".[52] A month-long Chennai schedule was wrapped on 7 October.[53][54]

The next schedule was held in Rajasthan, in October.[55] Khan and Nayanthara joined this 20–day schedule.[56] Next schedule was held in February 2023,[57] where Khan shot some chase scenes.[18] Sanjay Dutt joined the shoot on 20 March 2023,[58] to shoot an action-packed cameo.[59] In April 2023, a song titled "Chaleya" featuring Khan and Nayanthara was shot at Mumbai and Bandra–Worli Sea Link.[60] Later the same month, the song "Faraatta" featuring Khan and Deepika Padukone, for her cameo appearance was shot at Film City, Mumbai.[61] Both the songs were choreographed by Farah Khan.[62] In mid July, song titled "Not Ramaiya Vastavaiya" featuring Khan and Nayanthara, choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant was shot at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai.[63][64]

Post-production

edit

Post-production for the film began in January 2023 and went on for six months as the film involves extensive computer graphics and visual effects.[65] Editing was handled by Ruben.[66] The VFX work of the film is done by Red Chillies VFX.[67] Harry Hingorani served as the visual effects supervisor with Keitan Yadav as the VFX producer of the film.[68] In April, the company hired visual effects technicians to the team.[69] Ken Metzker of Red Chillies Color did the colouring for the film.[70] Kunal Rajan served as the sound designer.[71]

Deepa Venkat dubbed for Nayanthara for the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film.[72] Raveena Ravi dubbed for Deepika Padukone for the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film.[73]

The final copy of the film was ready by early August 2023, and was submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) that month. On 22 August 2023, the film received a U/A certificate from the Censor Board, with a finalised runtime of 169 minutes.[74]

Themes and influences

edit

According to Shah Rukh Khan, the film's theme is about "Women's empowerment".[75] Agnivo Niyogi in The Telegraph argues that Jawan pays homage to several SRK films including Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Chak De! India, Swades, Chennai Express,[76] and India Today also discusses how Chak De! India influenced Jawan.[77] The Hindu adds that Jawan references Main Hoon Na, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, and Duplicate.[78]

Dr. Eeram, who is one of the key characters in the film, is inspired by real-life events and individuals. Dr. Kafeel Khan, who hails from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, serves as the inspiration for this character. Dr. Khan became widely known for his involvement in the 2017 Gorakhpur hospital deaths. Dr. Khan was arrested and faced legal troubles related to the incident, which brought attention to systemic issues within the healthcare system. In the film, Dr. Eeram's character likely explores themes of medical ethics, responsibility and the challenges faced by healthcare professionals.[79] The film also explores factors contributing to farmers' suicides in India.[80]

A scene featuring Vikram Rathore and Kalee Gaikwad draws inspiration from the Bofors scandal, which was a major political and financial controversy in India related to the purchase of Bofors Howitzer for the Indian army. The scandal revolved around allegations of corruption and kickbacks in the arms deal, which had a significant impact on Indian politics and defence procurement. In the film, this scene sheds light on issues of corruption, political intrigue, and the consequences of unethical decisions made in high-stakes situations. The character Kalee is referred to as AB Bofors, which likely signifies a symbolic representation of the scandal, emphasising the role of individuals and entities in larger scandals and controversies. Kalee's character serves as a metaphorical link to the scandal, exploring the themes of accountability, responsibility, and the impact of corruption in society.[81]

Music

edit

The soundtrack is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, working with Shah Rukh Khan and Atlee for the first time; this would also mark his debut as a solo composer in Bollywood, previously having composed a song for David and the background score for Jersey.[82][83] Initially, A. R. Rahman was reportedly approached by director Atlee to compose for the film.[84] Rahman subsequently declined the offer for reasons unknown, and Anirudh was chosen to compose for the film.[85] The music rights were bagged by T-Series for 36 crore,[86] which was a record price for a Hindi album.[87]

The soundtrack consists of seven original songs composed by Anirudh, namely, "Zinda Banda", "Chaleya", "Not Ramaiya Vastavaiya", "Aararaari Raaro", "Jawan Title Track", "Faraatta" and "Chaleya" (Arabic). Lyrics are written by Irshad Kamil and Kumaar.

Marketing

edit

On 3 June 2022, the film's title and release date were unveiled through a teaser video featuring Khan in a suspicious character, wounded and swathed in bandages, foreshadowing an intriguing tale of revenge.[88] Later the film got postponed and a new release date was announced through a motion poster released on 6 May 2023.[89] A teaser trailer, titled "Jawan Prevue" was released on 10 July 2023.[90] It became the most watched Indian teaser in 24 hours with over 112 million views.[91] Subsequently, the teaser was attached to the prints of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Jailer and Gadar 2 for theatrical screenings.[92][93]

In July 2023, when the song "Zinda Banda" was unveiled, the hook step, choreographed by Shobi Paulraj and performed by Khan in the music video, quickly went viral, adding to the song's popularity and becoming a social media sensation.[94] Many people have recreated the hook step (signature step) by recording their own dance performances to the song and sharing these videos across social media platforms.[95]

As a part of the film's promotion, the marketing team designed the film's posters at the Mumbai Metro and Kolkata Metro.[96] The official merchandise of Jawan was launched by Fully Filmy on 25 August 2023.[97]

The event was telecasted on Sun TV and Surya TV on 3 September.[99]

The official trailer of the film was unveiled on 31 August 2023.[100] On the same day, Khan arrived in Dubai to celebrate the release of the trailer with the fans and showcased it on the Burj Khalifa.[101][102] Following the film's release, Google introduced an interactive doodle dedicated to the film, allowing users to engage with and explore the film's theme in a creative and fun way.[103][104]

Critical response

edit

Jawan received critical acclaim from critics who praised its cast performances, direction, screenwriting, action sequences and musical score.[8][159] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of 35 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.7/10. The website's consensus reads: "Packed with plot twists and breathtaking action, Jawan manages its convoluted plot and imposing length with high-octane panache."[160]

Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com gave 4/5 stars and commended Jawan's political storytelling, writing that it "boldly and directly points fingers at the ineffective government and appeals to recognise the power of the finger and vote".[161] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote that the film delivered a timely political message despite being "fashioned as an unabashed massy entertainer".[162] Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times termed it a "massy, meaningful actioner".[163] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in believed that the film worked primarily due to Khan, writing that his "screen image – expansive, suffused with love, heroic in an old-fashioned way without being aggressively macho, irreverent but also sincere – helps sell a conceit that might have crashed with any other actor".[164] Tushar Joshi of India Today gave 3.5/5 stars and believed that Khan's performance and Atlee's direction had improved upon a typical, Robin Hood-esque story.[165]

Sonil Dedhia of News18 gave 4/5 stars and labelled it a masala film, adding that it is an "ambitious vigilante action thriller that plays to the gallery and lives up to the hype. Far-fetched in writing but high on star power and style".[166] Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 believed that Jawan had more of a story and purpose than Khan's previous release Pathaan.[167] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama awarded the film 4.5/5 stars and wrote "Jawan is a mass entertainer at its best with superlative performances, thrilling and clap worthy moments, larger-than-life action sequences, and a never-before-seen avatar of Shah Rukh Khan. At the box office, it will emerge as a blockbuster of epic proportions, setting new records and rewriting existing ones."[168] Devesh Sharma of Filmfare gave 4/5 stars and noted that the action choreography was "on par with any high grade Hollywood film".[169] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 3.5/5 stars and concluded, "Packed with all the ingredients that you would expect in a high-octane action film, Jawan is a strikingly meta vehicle in which a star communicates directly with his fan base and holds forth on themes that are crying out to be addressed."[170] Uday Bhatia of Mint Lounge termed Jawan a "chaotic mess", writing that the film's story did not cohere despite Khan's best efforts.[171]

Internationally, Manjusha Radhakrishnan of Gulf News gave 3.5/5 stars and compared an ageing Khan to George Clooney, praising the star power of Khan and Nayanthara and the chemistry between Khan and Padukone.[172] Mike McCahill of The Guardian gave 3/5 stars also commended Khan's star power and opined, "Jawan covers a lot of ground in surprising fashion at full throttle – but that’s also a polite way of admitting it’s utterly all over the place."[173] Proma Khosla of IndieWire praised Atlee's work, Anirudh's music and acting performances of lead actors. She felt that the film "must be experienced on a massive screen with a massive crowd".[174] Alan Ng of Film Threat commented "Jawan is a reminder of what action movies used to be".[175] Pete Volk of Polygon described the film as "Robin Hood meets Charlie's Angels."[176] Simon Abrams of RogerEbert stated, Khan "looks especially comfortable in undemanding musical numbers".[177]
