A rather fascinating and very peculiar Indian social thriller drama. After the first half I thought the film had lost me, only to find out that it was up to something very different. And for the most part that works quite well.

Jana Gana Mana is undistinctive, notwithstanding its brave throwaway lines and moments that made my liberal heart sit up and take notice.

Those who love a good political crime thriller inspired from real-life incidents can feast on Jana Gana Mana, that teaches you to think, question, challenge and more as a common man who consumes news at its face value.

It’s like a well-written editorial in The Hindu being brought to life for the Tik-Tok audience.
