Release Date: 22 January 2021
What Is the Story About?
Dip Singh Sengar is like another happy 10-year-old boy from a middle-class family who is content in his world. He was in awe of his brother, brothers and sisters often seemed inseparable, until the holiday in Jammu and Kashmir brought bad luck to the whole family. The eldest son died in a terrorist attack, leaving a huge gap in the Sengar family.
This dark chapter inspired Deep to join the military (especially the security forces), and he quickly realized that this journey was not easy. His limits have withstood the test-the training program sometimes seems cruel, but there is nothing that can be achieved between Deep and his dream. The Cargill War in 1999 will trigger a new turning point in his life-this event turned the pale shadow of his past into an abyss.
Performances?
Amit Thad is the only reason you watch this show. No actor in this generation has ever seen a soldier with similar beliefs. Actors make good use of outstanding characters based on real life personality, and give them heart, sweat, blood and soul.
Sushant Singh's portrayal of the ruthless Colonel Ranjeet Chaudhary is equally believable because he won the sympathy of the audience despite all his notoriety. As a filial wife, Amrita Puri performs her duties with unignorable sincerity. It is a joy to watch Mrinal Kulkarni, even though she has become a rigid mother. Paritosh Sand, Preet Karan Hawa, Gagan Randhawa, and Aly Goni were unsatisfactory in their short-lived roles.
Analysis
How will an officer in a wheelchair change his life when he is not fit to perform his duties? Just as the former soldier started his life on a new slate and made great progress in the corporate world, a sense of insecurity enveloped him and swallowed him. How will this chapter affect his relatives? There is no doubt that this is a biopic with great inspirational value, but it also exposes several gray areas in the lives of soldiers. It leads you to the minds of war heroes in those dark corners, which you rarely touch.
Later, the focus shifted to Deep's life as a security officer. In feature films, those moments that do not exceed a series of montage shots are extended into painful and long, repetitive plots, and it is difficult to move the story forward. The postcard-era romance between Dip and his girlfriend's transformed wife, Jaya, is another nap holiday. Had it not been for Amit Sadh's Lionheart's efforts to give some character to the portrayal of the protagonist in question, the audience might have given up hope for the show halfway through.
Good things come to those waiting-it's a quote, perfect work in the context of the show. The crux of the story starts from the fourth episode. You can see the human side, the protagonist who will accept PTSD-his mood swings, insecurity and his hatred of sympathy. Interestingly, these episodes allow you to support Deep’s wife because of her tolerance—that her husband completed the MBA exam, dealt with his insecurities in the corporate field, and supported him through a series of hellish experiences. The performance ended with a high profile. The former soldier struggled with all kinds of difficulties—both physically and mentally changing himself, getting rid of the constraints of a wheelchair, and thanking him for what life gave him.
Despite the powerful drama, Jeet Ki Zid did not complete half of what it should have, thanks to the boring narrative. A lot of time is wasted on episodes that do not add any meaning to the story. The storytelling is too literal and it loses imagination. The war drama of veteran film producer JP Dutta may not be able to support the era well, but they have an undeniable human element and emotional background outside of the military, which is missing here. Jijizid may score well in technical grandeur and scale, but lacks soul.
