So glad to have finally watched Driver Jamuna after many months of waiting! We would have loved to say that the waiting was worth it, but alas it was not 😥
There were lots of potentials not tapped into and subsequently, the movie was just an average watch
DELICIOUS
-We loved the originality of the script that centered on a female cab driver unknowingly carrying gangsters on a criminal mission.
-The dominant blue color grading, also reflected in Jamuna's outfit, served as a great symbol of intelligence, creativity, wisdom, and strength which suited Jamuna's mentality.
BLAND
-The screenplay was quite steady, nothing too striking apart from the excess slashing of bodies.
There was no variety of characters, we had the usual police force, politicians, gangs, and common people trapped in the middle
-For a movie like Driver Jamuna, dynamic cinematography would have really intensified the scenes, but the shaky and rough camera moments inside the taxi cab hurt the quality
-Aishwarya Rajesh looked unmotivated.
She didn't portray the role in a unique and memorable manner; she gave off the same facial expression and body language throughout.
