Jersey
Starring Shahid Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur, Pankaj Kapoor, Ronit Kamra
Written & Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri
Jersey is a film that was waiting to have its say. And I don’t mean that in just the creative perspective. Its release has been postponed more than once. But the wait has been worth it.

It plunges into its protagonist’s life with a fervent gusto, sparing us none of his anguished self-loathing for being a loser, specially in the eyes of his wife and son.
The father-son bonding is crucial to the efficacy of this mellow drama. Shahid Kapoor, giving what could arguably rank as his career’s best performance, bonds beautifully with his screen son played by Ronit Kamra. It’s a...
