Jai Bhim (2021) Review, Cast & Trailer
Jai Bhim (Victory to Bhim) is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language legal drama film directed by T. J. Gnanavel and produced by Jyothika and Suriya under the banner of 2D Entertainment. Suriya starred in the film, with Lijomol Jose, K. Manikandan, Rajisha Vijayan, Prakash Raj, Rao Ramesh, and others providing assistance. Based on a genuine 1993 occurrence involving a case won by Justice K. Chandru, it centers around the lives of Senggeni and Rajakannu, an Irular tribal couple. Rajakannu was apprehended by police and afterward went missing from the station. Senggeni seeks the assistance of an advocate named Chandru in order to obtain justice for her husband. Chandru files a habeas corpus petition and sends the Rajan case to be pursued further in order to discover the truth.
Following an official announcement in April 2021, primary filming on the film began the same month, with numerous sequences being shot in Chennai and Kodaikanal. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, production was interrupted, and filming resumed in July 2021. It was finished in September of that year. S. R. Kathir and Philomin Raj handled the film’s cinematography and editing, respectively. Sean Roldan wrote the music and the cinematic score. The title of the film alludes to a phrase popular among B. R. Ambedkar supporters.
Jai Bhim was launched on Amazon Prime Video on November 2, 2021, prior to Diwali, as part of a multi-film contract negotiated by 2D Entertainment, culminating in the streaming distribution of their upcoming productions. In addition to the original form, the film was dubbed and released in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. Critics complimented the premise, actors, emotional weight, directing, and social message of the picture. It is now the highest-rated film on IMDb, with a score of 9.5/10, and is the first Indian film to do so.

Music
Sean Roldan scored the film music and soundtrack in his first collaboration with Suriya, while Yugabharathi, Raju Murugan, and Arivu wrote the song lyrics. Roldan recorded the first music for the film (later identified as “Power Song”) in August 2021, with vocals and lyrics written by Arivu. He went on to record the film’s background music with orchestrator Matt Dunkley at Abbey Road Studios in London, and a sample from the sessions was shared on social media in mid-October. Sony Music India secured the music rights, and the first single, “Power Song,” was released on October 6, 2021. On October 18, Pradeep Kumar’s second single, “Thala Kodhum,” was released.
The original soundtrack album, consisting of five tracks, was published on music streaming services on October 27, 2021, with the jukebox following a day later on YouTube. Following the film’s premiere, Sean Roldan recited a few words from the unpublished secret track titled “Manniley Eeramundu,” which was played during the film’s conclusion, and the makers released the aforementioned music as a single on November 15, 2021, in response to several demands.
