Jalsa
On: Amazon Prime Video
Dir: Suresh Triveni
Cast: Vidya Balan, Shefali Shah
Rating: 3.5/5

Frankly, I can’t recall any other time that I’ve wrapped up a film and gone back right thereafter to the opening credits — obviously not to look up the cast, or director (those are well-known), but to scroll slow, and find the sound designer for a special mention, something one doesn’t tend to do, usually, or ever in fact. 
The name mentioned is Anthony Jayaburan. And so far as this film is concerned — but movies in general, I reckon — he’s the reason that if you’re alone, you should ideally plug in a kickass headphone while watching it. 

The sound, in all its playful majesty and shock value, is the first thing you notice about Jalsa. Which is anyway a technically sound film, across all departments — cinematography, production design, et al. The credit for which, as always, must go to the director.
