Summary Movie Analysis on Jai Bhim 6 Jai Bhim is based on a true incident of 1993: - According to a BBC report, Jai Bhim is based on an incident that took place in Tamil Nadu in 1993 and is linked to a 2006 Madras High Court judgement. In March 1993, Rajkannu and a couple named Sengai were among the four families of the Kurva tribal community in Mudanni village of Tamil Nadu. Rajkannu was accused of theft: - Everything was going well that meanwhile, on the morning of March 20, some policemen knocked on Sengai's door. The first question the police asked was that where is her husband Rajkannu. Sengai fearfully told that he has gone to work. No one knew why the police was looking for Rajkannu. As soon as the mystery was unravelled , it came to light that jewellery worth 1.5 lakh had been stolen in a nearby village and the police have held Rajkannu guilty in this case.

During this, everyone was beaten up a lot. Meanwhile, Rajkannu, who was completely unaware of this matter, was also searched by the police and taken into custody. After that, the police gave permission to Sengai and his children to go home, but Rajkannu continued to be beaten up by the police in custody. The next day in the afternoon, when Sengai reached the police station with food, she saw that her husband had been stripped completely and tied to the window. Seeing him, it seemed that he had been beaten a lot. When Sengai questioned the police in this regard, he was chased away from there.

Even before that, the police had reached his village and informed that Rajkanni had escaped from custody at 4.15 am.

Caste Based Discrimination One of the most difficult issues to be discussed in India in any forum is the challenge of caste. It is all-pervasive, omni-present and yet everybody is uncomfortable to talk about its institutionalized, discriminatory, and brutal impact on the society at large. Jai Bhim is a bold movie written, directed, and acted with courage of conviction that brings the issue of caste front and center to the narrative, dialogue, and design of the film. It is powerful and yet subtle in terms of showcasing the deeply embedded caste-based discrimination in our society and how it has acquired the status of a Frankenstein’s monster. Jai Bhim has persuasively shown us that we have a long way to go in fulfilling Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s vision and the promise that we made in the Constitution of India: "Article 17. Abolition of Untouchability: Untouchability is abolished and its practice in any form is forbidden. The enforcement of any disability arising out of Untouchability shall be an offence punishable in accordance with law."
Police Brutality and Custodial Violence Jai Bhim is a movie that touches every nerve of human conscience. It challenges our fundamental assumptions of Indian democracy and the promise to establish a society based on the rule of law. It is a fact that wide-spread torture happens in custodial institutions in India. In an official reply to a question in Lok Sabha, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India said that as many as 348 people died and 1,189 were tortured in police custody in 2018-19 and 2020-21. This data will be significantly more in reality as not all instances of torture and custodial violence gets reported. But even this data should shock our conscience. The brutality that was meted out to the three individuals who were illegally taken into custody by the police in the film does demonstrate the larger problem of policing in India. But it has also demonstrated the wide gap between the rhetoric of law and its reality.
Police Brutality and Custodial Violence There are numerous judgments of the Supreme Court of India, which were violated in letter and spirit in relation to the arrest, detention, interrogation, investigation, and all related processes of the characters in the film. Jai Bhim, as a film went beyond the contours of creative imagination and brought us close to the ugly realities of the internal workings of the criminal justice system. It neither hesitated to show the dysfunctional nature of the criminal justice process nor did it exaggerate the systemic weaknesses and failures. It is the genius of the film directing and acting that the story struck a perfect balance and left the audience deeply shaken and moved and yet reflecting and hoping for seeking that elusive justice.
Sociological idea Movie Analysis on Jai Bhim 15 Caste-based discrimination has to stop because these rights have been applicable to everyone, including the people belonging to the tribal community. Consciously or subconsciously, very often citizens try to demean or look down upon people belonging to the so-called lower castes. Such practices are looked down upon in the film and in real life too, these practices should stop.
Sociological idea Movie Analysis on Jai Bhim 16 The wrong doers, to whichever profession or class they belong, should be punished by the Honorable court. There shall be no bias on the basis of class or status It teaches us the power of the law and how to use it to build a better world. It's not a fight between low castes and high castes. Not even against the police officers, but it's a fight against the entire system.
RELEVANCE IN TODAYS WORLD It is a fact that wide-spread torture happens in custodial institutions in India. In an official reply to a question in Lok Sabha, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India said that as many as 348 people died and 1,189 were tortured in police custody in 2018-19 and 2020-21. This data will be significantly more in reality as not all instances of torture and custodial violence gets reported. But even this data should shock our conscience. The story of Jai Bhim is about the lives of some of the most marginalized sections of the society. Even after 75 years of Indian democracy, their struggles to fight for basic human rights and human dignity continue unabated. The protagonist of the film, in my view, is not the family of Senggeni or Rajakannu or any of the other victims of custodial violence. The protagonist is also not Suriya, a thoroughly gifted actor, whose assumption of the role of Chandru, a public interest and human rights lawyer was truly exemplary. Few people could have done what Suriya did in pursuing this role with a lot of nuance, subtlety, and style
Important Lessons from JAI BHIM Movie Every citizen should be aware of the fact that the Fundamental Rights are for every single human being of the country – irrespective of Caste, creed, sex, religion, race or place of birth. The Fundamental Rights of India are – Right to Equality, Right to Freedom, Right against Exploitation, Right to Freedom of Religion, Cultural and Educational Rights and Right to Constitutional Remedies. Caste-based discrimination has to stop because these rights have been applicable to everyone, including the people belonging to the tribal community. The hierarchy of the society, that was inaugurated by the caste system, has to be done away with. Consciously or subconsciously, very often citizens try to demean or look down upon people belonging to the so-called lower castes. Such practices are looked down upon in the film and in real life too, these practices should stop.
Important Lessons from JAI BHIM Movie One should stand up for what is right, no matter what. Advocate Chandru’s fight for justice for an innocent, pregnant woman from Ruler tribe was not easy. In every moment, there were hurdles and conflicts. But he followed the honest road and did not fall for the ugliness to which his opponents had succumbed. Senghani , in spite of all the hardships and tough situations that she had to encounter, fought for her right. There were times when influential people tried to manipulate her to give up in return of a huge sum of cash. But Senghani did not surrender and she fought till the end, seeking justice for her husband’s death.
Important Lessons from JAI BHIM Movie Mythra , a teacher for the adults from Irular tribe, is an inspirational character. The tribal people require education more than anything else, to escape such a horrendous state of living. They should be made aware of their rights and educators would help them gain this awareness.Mythra helped Senghani throughout. The society needs more people like Mythra , who is sympathetic to the situations of the tribal communities and tries to help them in general and especially during their need. If someone (especially from a lower caste or tribal community) has a history of being arrested, one must not discard them or deprive them of good behaviour or the authorities shouldn’t deprive them of the opportunities they need. There is a chance that they have been accused of false case. Thus, the grounds of arrest should be enquired before dealing with such people.
