On the other hand, Vijay Borade (Jhund cast Amitabh Bachchan), a social worker and sports coach at St John's School is nearing retirement. On a rainy day, he sees a group of slum youngsters playing football with a plastic barrel and realizes that he can channel their secret ability in the correct path, allowing them to escape the dark alleyways of crime and addiction. The next day, he visits the ghetto and meets these kids. He invites them to join a 30-minute football game.
and he'll give them Rupees. 500 in exchange. They have come to an understanding. They had a great time, and Vijay gives them Rs. 500 as promised after they complete their game. For several days, this goes on. Then in the Jhund Movie, Vijay suddenly does not come to the ground.
he slum children then come to his residence. Vijay informs them that he is unable to give them any further money.

Jhund Movie review
Although the movie is described as a sports film, it is a motivational one. It inspires nationalism, emphasizes freedom, and has a positive tone altogether.
The film has several emotional scenes. The intense thrill of a college against slum dwellers football game is as real as Don alias Ankush Meshram receiving his visa at the last minute and rushing to the airport in time.
Although there are minor parallels in Jhund to the slum's Dalit residents, particularly in the celebration scene, the caste components are never highlighted.
Coming to the Jhund review on cast performance, Vijay Borade's character is quite relatable in the movie. The character of Vijay Borade, played by Amitabh Bachchan, is based on the life of retired sports professor Vijay Barse, who created the NGO Slum Soccer. His portrayal is not only natural but also realistic and appealing. His passionate appeal to the Lady Judge on behalf of the slum dwellers refers back to his charisma and oratorical abilities.
Given the roles they are portraying, the rest of the ensemble cast gives flawless performances. They effortlessly look and feel the part. Ankush Gedam's Don is endearing because of his sensitivity, and he demonstrates his versatility as an actor.
Rinku Rajguru leaves her impression, as does Akash Thosar, who appears in a new avatar. The soundtrack is nearly stereotypical of Manjule's films in that it brilliantly catches and improves the soul of the film.Conclusion: Jhund movie
Nagraj Popatrao Manjule's composition and direction, as well as the performances, make an excellent social entertaining film.
