‘Jaat’ reviewWith a rating of 3 stars, the Toi review of the movie reads - “Gopichand Malineni’s Jaat, marking his Hindi directorial debut, is an unabashedly loud, hero-driven spectacle that aims to marry the exaggerated swagger of South Indian action with North Indian machismo. The result is a film that offers moments of undeniable impact but ultimately plays too safely within the confines of well-worn formulas.”
