'Jalsa 'is a wholly unsatisfying watch. Yes, it stars Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah, but the presence of decent actors cannot save the film - which never quite achieves the status of a taut thriller and is entirely let down by its screenplay. Surprising because Director Suresh Triveni made the eminently watchable, and unfierce but very feminist 'Tumhari Sulu'. Tune in for a semi-snarky takedown of this much-praised film, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video in India.
