The first thing that catches your eye in Jugnuma (released in India as The Fable) is its opening scene. Shot on film, it gives an old-school vibe that perfectly fits the 1980s setting. The grainy look adds charm, making the story feel magical and alive.
What is the story?
The film is not a regular Bollywood drama. Manoj Bajpayee plays Dev, an orchard owner in Himachal, living peacefully with his wife and two kids. But things change when part of his orchard is set on fire. Suspicion falls on the villagers guarding it, and the mystery slowly unfolds.
Magic Meets Reality
Director Raam Reddy blends magic with everyday life. In one scene, Dev wears wings he made and flies in the sky—showing how magic can feel normal in this world.
Performances
Manoj Bajpayee shines as Dev, making the character feel real. Priyanka Bose as his wife adds depth, and Deepak Dobriyal as the narrator fits well. With real villagers in the cast, the film feels authentic and natural.
Cinematography
The visuals by cinematographer Sunil Borkar are stunning. Every frame looks like art and captures the beauty of Himachal.
Verdict
Jugnuma is more than just a magical tale. It’s about family, nature, and the hidden truths in daily life. It leaves behind a mood and questions that stay with you long after the film ends.
