Just like multiple other films, this social comedy-drama from the house of Yash Raj Films also enters cinemas after facing a series of delays due to the pandemic. The film revolves around the topic of saving the girl child. Let’s find out if Jayeshbhai Jordaar has the potential to be your weekend pick."}},{"id":"3If0dXzY4G","type":"paragraph","data":{"text":"STORY: Jayesh (Ranveer Singh) is an obedient son to his father (Boman Irani), who is the head of the village. He is married to Mudra Patel (Shalini Pandey) and the couple has a girl aged 9. However, his parents keep badgering him, and their daughter-in-law for a male heir to take the family forward. After 5 miscarriages, when Mudra gets pregnant and it is revealed that she is going to deliver a baby girl yet again, Jayesh sheds his timid avatar to save his unborn child from his parents and the so-called samaj (society)."}},{"id":"awOrVFGziu","type":"paragraph","data":{"text":"HIGHS: Ranveer Singh is known for slipping into the skin of every character that he portrays and he does the same in Jayeshbhai Jordaar as well. Singh plays the small-town Gujarati boy to perfection and wins our hearts with his antics and quirks. You just cannot imagine any other actor as Jayesh. Shalini Pandey, who makes her debut in Bollywood after starring in a couple of South Indian films including Arjun Reddy (2017), looks perfect in her part."}},{"id":"4na_-Fiuqt","type":"image","data":{"file":{"url":"https://cdn.bollywoodmdb.com/post/news_desc/jj_1652446375806.jpg"},"caption":"","withBorder":false,"stretched":false,"withBackground":false}},{"id":"PkJ-8-GlOz","type":"paragraph","data":{"text":"Seasoned actors Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah are brilliant as Singh’s parents.
