Jubilee Fetches Exhilarating Reviews, Netizen Calls It 'Love Letter To Art Of Filmmaking'

Jubilee, Vikramaditya Motwane's exhilarating take on 1950s Bombay, is a fresh perspective. The 10-part series revolves around the birth of Hindi cinema against the background of division. It goes further into the manner in which the two are inextricably linked.

The tremendously entertaining series enthralls viewers with its fictitious people inspired by actual stars from the past. Aditi Rao Hydari, Ram Kapoor, Aparshakti Khurana, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Wamiqa Gabba, and Sidhant Gupta round up the dream cast for Jubliee.

Jubilee, Amazon Prime's latest web series, transports viewers to the 1940s, amid the heated buildup to Indian independence. Binod (Aparshakti Khurana), a film studio fixer, is dispatched by his boss (Prosenjit Chatterjee) to accompany his wife (Aditi Rao Hydari) and her boyfriend, Jamshed Khan (Nandish Singh Sandhu), back to Bombay. The romance threatens to derail his boss's attempts to establish the lover, who is also a brilliant theatrical actress, as a movie star.

Following a gruesome accident and a riot in Lucknow, the story takes a dismal turn. As Jamshed inexplicably vanishes, Binod takes charge as the leading guy. The plot is suggestive of a 1930s scandal involving Himanshu Rai, Devika Rani, and Ashok Kumar.

Jubilee Twitter Reactions

After watching Jubilee, one of the fans assert that in the world of modern cinema, where we forgot how our Indian cinema has evolved, Jubilee streams in with the story of the dynamic cinema. The star cast doesn't possess any superstars, but these underrated actors showcased their ingenuity which astonished and on the other hand thrilled the spectators. In addition to it, every act will leave you with the zeal to jump onto another episode. Precisely, viewers will find themselves stuck with the screen once they start watching as it is so engaging.

Special mention to Khurana's brilliant performance as Binod Das aka Madan Kumar, this performance was completely unpredictable and shows how gem of an actor he is.

Another netizen remarks it as mesmerising and outstanding. Elaborating on her experience further, she says it is worth giving a watch in the theater as well. It is indeed a love letter to the art of filmmaking. It almost renders the viewer a real-life experience full of thrill and magic. History has been depicted with a magnificent cast and overall it is a fabulous periodic drama directed with hard work.

Jubilee is a masterpiece says a viewer who is enthusiastic enough to go through another episode. He further appreciated the frantic efforts of Aparshakti who left no stone unturned to revive the character of Binod and came out as the fascinating protagonist. His performance made him nostalgic and he was reminded of Javier Barden and his audacity of living through the characters.
