Introduction:

Jai Bhim, which means "Victory of Bhim", is used by followers of Dr.B.R.Ambedkar to promote Ambedkarism. This is a true story which was made into a successful block buster. The story prominently concentrates on tribal people, who lives on mountains. Their livelihood is under the poverty line,  and does not receive any of the minimum facilities, such as voter cards. There are hardworking people who strive for developing themselves for a better lifestyle. In this process, Rajakannu (R.Manikandan), a tribe gets arrested in a robbery case without correct evidence. Sengani (Lijomol Jose) , wife of Rajakannu approaches Chandru (Suriya), the lawyer to solve this case. This case is not only related to a pregnant woman with one child, but also to the whole tribe society. How is Chandru bringing justice is the story?

Story plot:

The story starts with showing the life of tribal society, they catch rats and snakes and leave them into forests without creating any harm. They will be humilitated without any cause by upper class society. And also, the main theme of story is, there are many tribes who are arrested without doing any crime. Police men put false cases on them as they are illiterates, and not aware of any law systems. Mythra (Rajisha Vijayan) is a school teacher who educates these people. She will be a helping hand  for Sengani to reach chandru. The biggest mystery of this case is the 3 tribes arrested in this case will be missing. IG Perumalswamy (Prakash Raj) will be handling this case as a police officer. The major debate of the total movie will be the ego clashes between police and lawyer. The story digs deeper into the case with small hints and at last justice will be given to Senghani.

Real Face of Jai Bhim:

This story took place in 1993 at Vilupuram. The case went for 13 years to serve justice for false victims. As Dr. Chandru says, there are hundreds and thousands of cases similar to this and searching for justice. The real Senghani is Parvathi, a woman of Irular tribe. 

Conclusion:

The cast performance was above the expectation levels. All the characters did their job perfectly. Cinematography was flawless. Background music amplified the curiosity of audience to next level. A minor problem is, few scenes intended to be artificial, like crying and lock up scenes. Though it was the base to understand the complexity of the situation, it seemed overacting. Despite the minor mistakes, the film was a complete message oriented film with good writing and screenplay.

Theme:

To summarize, the society should be of zero false victims. Anyone who is not related to case, should not be punished.
