PERFORMANCES:It’s Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s comeback film and it is definitely a delight to see her on-screen again. While she looks brilliant as a stern advocate.Irrfan Khan as always gives a terrific performance. He gets the punchlines and he makes gold of it. Shabana Azmi is the true hero of the film. She puts up a brilliant act as an emotional mother of a rape victim who has been murdered.Atul Kulkarni plays the government prosecutor. His role too is limited and hence does not make much impact.Chandan Roy Sanyal is an actor of great potential but is wasted in this film.

MUSIC: is composed by Amjad-Nadeem, Arko Pravo Mukherjee and Badshah."Bandeyaa" is very good composition by Amjad-Nadeem.

"Jazbaa's narrative has pace and power, run time of two hours, allowing you little time to think.The court-room scenes are brilliant.It could be said that the soul of the movie is the style of screenplay.

Overall,Jazbaa is compelling and an ensemble that lived up-to its expectation.This is very much watchable.
