If you're eager to watch Sunny Deol unleash his fury and take down hordes of villains, "Jaat" will certainly meet your expectations. The film does quench your thirst for action, especially in the first half, where the combination of thrill and elevation creates an intriguing spectacle.

Is it excessively over-the-top? Absolutely.

Does it follow any logical reasoning? Not at all.

But is it enjoyable and entertaining? Definitely!

However, the proceedings take an apparent downturn after the first half concludes, The narrative becomes bogged down with an overload of information, expositions cluttering nearly every other scene.

Aside from the "Police Station Mayhem" (which I found quite entertaining), the remainder of the second half suffers from hasty writing and an abundance of backstories that seem contrived and added merely for dramatic flair.

P. S. Thaman's background score, while very reminiscent of other popular South Indian blockbusters (*cough* Master *cough*), effectively uplifts the intensity during both action and emotional scenes.

A crime family burdened by its troubled history, a fearsome leader with a tainted past, and their combined stance against threats to their family, both from within and beyond.

"Bheeshma Parvam" adhered closely to the conventions of a typical commercial entertainer; however, my problem is not with this approach, but rather with the absence of conviction here.

The portraiture of the crime family, along with their actions, and their struggles for power and control failed to intrigue me.

Aside from Mammootty aura maxing and embodying a commanding presence of a formidable family leader, there was little else that made a lasting impression.

It may be attributed to the overwhelming number of characters, each with their own backstories, which left insufficient time and literary expertise to effectively navigate the required intricacies.

It's all so shallow and generic.

From beginning to end, a whirlwind of chaos reigns supreme, yet Lijo Jose Pellisery, the director navigates the screenplay with a deftness that would elude most filmmakers. He indeed stands out as a unique talent in the industry, adept at harnessing moments of 'frenzy' and turning them to his advantage.

LJP's exceptional skill in establishing locations further enriches the film; his ability to weave the environment seamlessly into the narrative is truly commendable. Moreover, "Jallikattu" showcases unparalleled technical mastery. The fluid editing, combined with meticulously chosen background score, elevates the storytelling to remarkable heights.

Nevertheless, there is a significant drawback that has been evident in all of LJP's works: the striking absence of character arcs and development. While his themes and meta-commentary are conveyed with much clarity, I found it challenging to forge meaningful connections with any of the characters in the ensemble.

This issue also surfaced in my experiences with both 'Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam' and 'Angamaly Diaries.'
