Jalsa Review: Vidya Balan And Shefali Shah Keep The Film On The Boil

Jalsa Review: Discount the overreach and a flaw here and a blemish there and Jalsa works just fine not only because two wonderful actresses are at their very best.

Cast: Vidya Balan, Shefali Shah, Manav Kaul

Director: Suresh Triveni

Rating: Three stars

Director and co-writer Suresh Triveni has a shot at an entire gamut of issues in Jalsa. That would have been a few too many but for the proven abilities of Vidya Balan - the lead actress of Triveni's first film Tumhari Sulu - and Shefali Shah. The two combine magnificently to pull the chestnuts out of the fire. If some of the effort shows, it is solely because the material the duo called upon to work with is spread too thin.
