Jugnuma is directed by Raam Reddy, who made the brilliant Thithi. This film also seems promising at the start. The first scene transports you to a different world like never before. But soon, the film gets very slow and boring. It becomes tedious to sit through the whole narrative. A few scenes are arresting, but it's too little to impress. The finale is bewildering and would leave most of the viewers confused. Manoj Bajpayee is great, while Deepak Dobriyal is too good and his voiceover is very impressive. Priyanka Bose (Nandini) and Hiral Sidhu (Vanya) are fine in supporting roles. Technically, the film is top-class and the Godfather-style visual effect is striking. But due to several minuses, Jugnuma is avoidable.

My rating - * ½ out of 5!
