Description: **Jhund 2022** is a Hindi film inspired by the life of Vijay Borade, a dedicated sports teacher nearing retirement. The story revolves around Borade’s efforts to transform the lives of slum children by forming a soccer team. Situated near the college and colony where Borade works and lives, these children are often exposed to drugs and crime. However, Borade’s initiative to engage them in soccer helps rehabilitate them, steering them away from negative influences. His determination even leads to the organization of a national soccer tournament for slum players across India.
The film, produced by T-Series Films, Tandav Film Entertainment, and Aatpat, highlights the inspiring journey of these underprivileged kids who gain international recognition under Borade’s mentorship. Actor Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of Vijay Borade, portraying his noble mission to guide these children toward a better future.
The narrative emphasizes that no one is inherently bad; rather, circumstances often lead individuals astray. Borade’s story showcases how purposeful engagement, particularly in sports, can redirect young minds away from wrongdoing. However, the film’s execution has been criticized for its lengthy runtime and drawn-out screenplay, with certain scenes appearing unnecessarily stretched.
Despite its flaws, **Jhund** carries a powerful message about the potential for positive change and the importance of providing opportunities to the marginalized.
