Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this movie on its premiere day because of star-cast and story which has thrill and suspense.
A hit and run of an 18-year-old girl becomes the hub of a wheel that sets into motion many a spoke a journalist, a raging mother, a cop
and a system all caught in an ethical dilemma. Questions raised only to realize that the truth is rarely pure and never simple.
Jalsa story has a lot of intrigue value. The unfolding drama keeps the audience guessing and, therefore, involved. There are some moments of tension and some twists and turns which keep the viewers guessing about what would follow. However, screenplay is a bit long-drawn because of which the drama becomes slow at places. The climax is very interesting and scares the daylights out of the audience.
Overall, It has an intriguing story and wonderful performances to make for interesting OTT viewing. Movie rests on fine performances and some unexpected twists and turns. However, the long length and certain unconvincing and unexciting moments diminish the impact to a great extent. My view on this movie Time Pass
