Jal is the story of young, willful BAKKA who is gifted with a special ability to find water in the desert. With the backdrop of water scarcity, the film tells a complex and intriguing story of love, relationships, enmity, deceit and circumstances that bring about the dark side of human character. It is a high-octane, action- drama with a shocking climax.
Saw this movie at IFFI, Goa and was really blown away. Here is a film that sets new standards for Indian cinema and makes me feel proud. Great VFX, amazing concept, superb drama, and based on a real problem.What sets it apart is how it balances so beautifully the entertainment with the real issues of environment and water scarcity. At no point does it get preachy. You feel a real connection with the place and the people and get emotionally involved with the film. It's thoroughly entertaining and makes you laugh and cry and yet when the film ends the message is loud and clear. It makes you realize the importance of water in a very real and personal way. The emotional impact is so huge that I could not get myself to waste water after I came back from watching the film. I will definitely look forward to the future works of this director. Apart from the beautiful story, the visuals and background music are the other strong points of the film. The visuals are mind-blowing and simply stunning. The background music is very nuanced and beyond anything you could hope to hear in Indian Films. It's really world class and comparable to the best in International cinema. This film is such a breath of fresh air compared to the commercial crass or the pretentious so called intellectual cinema.
