Jogi Review
Jogi vows to put up a fight to try and save as many people as he can from the quagmire of violence that will soon engulf the city when Delhi turns its back on Sikhs and indulges in rioting.
Screengrab
Two of Jogi's buddies, a Hindu policeman named Rawinder Chautala and a Muslim truck owner named Kaleem, step up to offer their assistance. Like the proverb that goes, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." Even in the conclusion, the narrative praises their friendship.
The story of Jogi is about a young man trying to survive as the entire city is burning down, saving people and working alongside them rather than only thinking about himself.
As the everyday person determined to help as many people as he can, Diljit provides a sincere performance. Every facet of his performance skillfully combines the bewilderment at the intense hatred that is erupting in Delhi while the sorrow of losing his loved ones and protecting his community.
Jogi Screengrab
The movie is an emotional rollercoaster that will undoubtedly give you the chills. For instance, when Jogi visits Baoli to cut his hair in order to save his people.
For unversed, In Sikhism, the practice of letting one's hair grow naturally out of appreciation for the perfection of God's creation plays a significant part.
We would highly recommend you watch Jogi, it's an eye-opener with a great cast.

An intense drama. Bit off & slow but Keeps you hooked throughout. #Jogi touches some raw nerves with facts & soul shaking scenes from 84 Sikh genocide. An outstanding performance by @diljitdosanjh. Best by any punjabi actor till date. Good camerawork & BGM.

Still getting goosebumps? memories came back my sister saw everything she had to cut kesh for her husband nd uncle cause they got stuck in the train in Haryana. pic.twitter.com/42xedJozes
One of the most powerful scenes from #Jogi is when @diljitdosanjh cut his hair (Kesh) one of the most important parts of a Sikh¡¯s life, and his Kadha is taken away as he impersonates being a non-Sikh. This is the kind of movie that we should support, the real Delhi Files.

The cast of the film includes Diljit Dosanjh, Amyra Dastur, Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub, Hiten Tejwani, Neelu Kohli, Kumud Mishra, and many others.
