Begum Jaan Critics Review

Begum Jaan (Vidya Balan) runs a brothel. She is fierce and headstrong and takes good care of all the inmates. The story takes a dramatic turn when the border between India and Pakistan passes through her house and she is asked to vacate the place along with her inmates. How she fights against the governments of both the countries to save herself and the inmates forms the crux of the story.

Begum Jaan Movie Review - coming soon

Vidya Balan has delivered a brilliant performance and steals the show in Begum Jaan. Gauahar Khan, Pallavi Sharda, Ila Arun, Priyanka Setia, Ridheema Tiwary, Flora Saini, Raviza Chauhan and others have done justice to their roles. The film has good production values and Anu Malik and Khayyam's music and Gopi Bhagat's cinematography are the attractions on the technical front, say the viewers.

#BegumJaan @vidya_balan just how do you camouflage into every different character and then make them soo convincing. You are legendary stuff #BegumJaan a major revelation that @GAUAHAR_KHAN and @pallavisharda are just not pretty faces. What fine actors both. Brilliant portrayals #BegumJaan all the girls are topnotch and very convincing. Brilliant casting! @priyankasetia07 @Flora_Saini @raviza06 @reedhee @ridhee #BegumJaan veterans like Naseer saab, ila ji, Rajesh Sharma proves yet again why they are legends! Each role was appropriately casted! #BegumJaan @pitobash is a classic example of gems from regional cinema that needs national recognition. Sujit was one of the highlights #BegumJaan @Chunkeypandey3 Proof that if you are good in comedy you are good in everything. What versatility! Kabir was top-notch #BegumJaan that cathartic screaming scene done to perfection by @IMishtii was soo hard hitting. Never felt it was a debut performance! #BegumJaan has been watched. Never have I been emotionally overwhelmed like this after a film. Rare films like this touches your soul

#BegumJaan was brilliant! Although UAE has censored certain parts but the powerful women cast like @GAUAHAR_KHAN are perfect in their roles! #BegumJaan is a powerful movie about the determination of women to fight for their right in a time of chaos. Each character is brilliant! #BegumJaan explores the lives of these incredible women at the time of the partition. @vidya_balan is brilliant & commands her position.

Happy Nived‏ @nived_nambiar

#BegumJaan is that rare film that can trigger feminists, meninists, right wings, left wings and fetch incredibly polarizing responses. Jokes apart, I found #BegumJaan impressive despite being high in melodrama and far from perfect. @vidya_balan is remarkable. #BegumJaan - Filmmaker Srijit Mukherji nicely humanizes sex workers who can be ruthless, demanding yet compassionate and maternalistic.
