Wearing a beautiful pink traditional outfit, personally designed by Sabyasachi, Shah looked exquisite and royal. When asked to talk about the award and the word ‘impact’, the actress said, “The word impact sounds really strong and powerful but for me, acting means that I managed to express and show all my vulnerabilities in every form that I could. And I think people have been able to connect with it and I think they like me. I don’t see impact as an important and powerful word as I genuinely believe there is a lot of strength in vulnerability.”

Recently the actress also won an award for Best Actor (Female) at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2022.Shefali Shah is a prolific performer and has been gathering a lot of love from the audience and the critics for her performance in the recently released ‘Darlings’.

Babli Tanwar (Tamannaah Bhatia) hails from a village in Haryana which is famous for dishing out bouncers. She enjoys weight lifting and bashing road side romeos. Her mother (Yamini Das) pesters her to get married but she is not ready yet. Her doting father (Saurabh Shukla) supports her decisions and let her have her way, most of the time. Local wrestler Kuku (Sahil Vaid), who works as a bouncer in a hotel in Delhi, fancies her and wants to marry her. One thing leads to another and Babli ends up as a female bouncer in the same hotel, of course with the help of Kuku, where she needs to handle trouble-making female clients. In between Tamannaah meets Viraj (Abhishek Bajaj), her teacher’s son and falls for him head over heels, who too stays in Delhi. After confessing love and rejection from Viraj Babli’s life takes a drastic change. What happens next is the crux of the narrative.

Madhur Bhandarkar has avoided gimmicks while story telling, which he has kept simple. The movie doesn’t bore you but the writing takes a beating in the climax. Though the concept of the movie is novel the script falters at many places. Madhur Bhandarkar’s earlier work was much better but he has extracted superlative performance from his lead actress, Tamannaah. Bhandarkar covers many areas while narrating including women who frequent nightclubs can be as vicious and troublesome as men. Tamannaah ably shoulders the films and has given a stupendous performance. Her gait, Haryanvi dialect and demeanour are perfect and she looks beautiful too. Saurabh Shukla and Yamini Das are a treat to watch while Sahil Vaid and Abhishek Bajaj are decent.

Babli Bouncer is a one time watch, especially for Tamannaah Bhatia’s performance.

With an objective to amplify the core elements portrayed in the film, raise awareness about road-safety and build curiosity around the mystery, Prime Video set up two experiential activities – Headsup and Kya Hai Is Haadse Ki Haqeeqat respectively; across key cities in India including Mumbai, Delhi, Indore, Gurgaon, Kolkata, Bangalore and Ahmedabad.

Headsup : To create awareness around Jaywalking, a serious offence and safety hazard, and educate the audience about the dangers around us, Prime Video arranged an experimental set up at a prominent mall in Mumbai. The arrangement provided them with an opportunity to step up on to a platform that projects their X-ray vision on to a screen. With participants spending time busy examining their X-ray visions, they are soon left dumbstruck as a car comes from nowhere and hits their X-ray visions. The frenetic incident ends with a message from Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah alerting the audiences to keep their heads up and stay alert and subtly reminding them to catch Jalsa on Prime Video.

Kya Hai Is Haadse Ki Haqeeqat? : Taking people by complete surprise, Prime Video set up a fake crime scene across prominent locations in seven cities that gave an impression of a terrible incident taking place. The activity forced people to be curious and think about what has happened, perfectly in sync with the investigative narrative of the film.

These one of their kind interactive activities garnered immense excitement and participation from the audiences and fans of Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah, enabling them to experience the thrill of Jalsa and enter its world through the engaging experience.

Jalsa is a highly engaging and captivating tale of conflict, as shown through the life of a top-line journalist and her cook. Replete with spellbinding performances and a nerve-wracking storyline, Jalsa promises to keep you on the edge of your seat, and leave you intrigued for more.

Suresh claims how Vidya spoilt him after working together in Tumhari Sulu and was very clear he wanted to do one more film with the multitalented star.

The other co-star, Shefali Shah revealed how she looks for three things in a film; the script, the story and the character, and of course the director and how Jalsa ticked all those boxes for her. She also mentioned some lesser-known facts about the filmmaker and said, “Two things that struck me, one is that he is a very good actor, and secondly he’s the first director who’s narrated a script to me with music.” Vidya Balan added, “He has a very special ability, he observes things in human beings, in human behaviour that others don’t. It’s a challenge, it’s not easy, and he enjoys that. He enjoys pushing you to places where you’ve not been before.”

Maya Menon (Vidya Balan) is a celebrated journalist who is firm about her views and isn’t scared to ask difficult questions. She is an extremely loving single mother of a specially abled son Ayush (Surya Kasibhatla) who in turn is fond of his father (Manav Kaul). Her mother (Rohini Hattangadi) and her house-help Rukhsana Mohammad  (Shefali Shah) take care of her son and the house. She flirts with her boss Amar (Iqbal Khan) and two are fond of each other. One late night while returning from work she dashes into a girl and runs away. Despite being a feisty and courageous journo, always fighting for people’s rights, she is terribly scared to admit to this hit-and-run case. Actually the victim is none other than Ruksana’s young daughter. To wipe the guilt Maya transfers her to a private hospital from a government hospital. Her boss wants to cover it up but an intern Rohini George (Vidhatri Bandi) from their office has some evidences about that incident. Maya doesn’t have the courage to tell Ruksana the truth and when Ruksana comes to know about it, takes a drastic step. What transpires in between is the crux the story.

The runtime of Jalsa is 128 minutes which keeps a lot of things hanging. The writer and the director had time on their hands to have presented the back stories of the characters which could have justified their behaviours. Some of the dialogues are strong which highlights the emotional uproar in character’s minds. The director without wasting time engages the viewers with the main incident. The sub-text successfully talk about the imperfections prevalent within the system of politics, police, media. The divide between the underprivileged and privileged class is subtly demarcated. But the director has wrapped up the film quickly maybe because some pages from the script went missing.

The lead artistes Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah has delivered outstanding performances which uplifts the films few rungs. Vidya Balan, as usual, nails the boss lady character. She has the opportunity to show variety of emotions, viz, a loving mother, a rebellious daughter, a no-nonsense boss and a vulnerable person after hit-and-run incident. She scores with some superlative acting which is a delight to watch. Shefali Shah too delivers a perfect performance. She has given a restrained performance and most of the times she performs with her eyes. Others like Rohini Hattangadi, Iqbal Khan, Manav Kaul, Vidhatri Bandi and a specially abled Surya Kasibhatla lend strong support.

Jalsa has two powerhouse performers Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah and it entertains reasonably well.
