Jhund is Hidi (Bollywood) Biographical Drama film released on 4 March 2022.
Amitabh Bachchan is playing the lead role in Jhund. The film also stars the hit-onscreen couple, Akash Thosar and Rinku Rajguru.
The movie takes inspiration from the life of Vijay Barse, the founder of NGO Slum Soccer.
Prof. Vijay Borade (Amitabh Bachchan) frequently watches road brats smoking pot and cigarettes in a playground, which he uses as a turnpike.
One day, he offers them Rs. 500 if they play a game of football among themselves. They find the offer lucrative because it involves money and a game.
This soon becomes a pastime-with-benefit for the road kiddies. These brats are now becoming civilized as they spend most of the time with Professor playing football in the playground.
Jhund is a good film to watch. However, the movie lacks the entertainment portion. In short, the film is not for Mass; it is for the Class.
The film was scheduled to be released on September 20, 2019. The date was postponed to December 13, 2019. The further was scheduled to be released in February 2020, though not official.
The Hon'ble Telangana High Court has ordered a stay on the release of Jhund in India and abroad. The order also applied to OTT platforms/digital releases.
The Hon'ble High Court granted the stay on some copyright infringement. However, the matter sorted out and the film released on 4 March 2022.
