'''''Jogi''''' is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language [[period drama]] film directed by [[Ali Abbas Zafar]] and co-written by [[Sukhmani Sadana]]. It was released on [[Netflix]] on 16 September 2022 and centres on the [[1984 anti-Sikh riots]], with a cast including [[Diljit Dosanjh]], [[Kumud Mishra]], [[Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub]], [[Hiten Tejwani]] and [[Amyra Dastur]]. <br />
<br />
Upon the release on Netflix, it received mixed-to-positive reviews from the critics, with praise for the performances (especially of Ayyub's, Mishra's and Dosanjh'), direction, cinematography, background score, editing, production design, and themes. However, the screenplay and depiction of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots received a polarizing response.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
The film is set in Delhi's eastside neighbourhood of [[Trilokpuri Assembly constituency|Trilokpuri]], and depicts a three-day period in the immediate aftermath of the [[Assassination of Indira Gandhi|assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi]] on 31 October 1984, four months after [[Operation Blue Star]]. In the film, stories of the fictional characters centre on the [[1984 anti-Sikh riots]]. It's a usual routine morning for Jogi's traditional working class Sikh family of three generations. Children get ready for school, women fry [[paratha|parathas]], and elders and men sit around the table and make jokes. They have no idea as to what is about to happen. By the time Jogi and his father are on the bus to work, news of Indira Gandhi's assassination by her two Sikh bodyguards that morning, spreads. Jogi asks the men who begin to beat him and his father "what is our fault?" to which the reply is you are a sardar. Over the following three days, Sikhs are scapegoated and scenes depict pockets of violence towards them. They are recognised by their distinct appearances and by their names on the electoral register, propagated by the region's MLA Tejpal Arora. Jogi's brother-in-law is beaten as he opens his shop and burned alive. Mobs of people run down the streets and burn buildings. A man in a turban is shown running and on fire shouting for help, a Sikh family in a car are burned. Jogi returns home to find an empty house and his neighbours are cutting their children's hair in the hope that they will not be recognised. When Jogi reaches his sister's house, he sees Sukhi (Jogi's elder brother) along with other family members sitting and crying around Heer who is stitching a shirt on the sewing machine for her dead husband. Jogi consoles his sister and watching this, Sukhi who is already in deep shock, cannot bear the pain of his sister and he breaks down. Rawinder, Jogi's friend and police officer, sees Jogi's family name on the target list and advises him to leave for Punjab. However, Jogi vows to help not just his own family but his whole Sikh community. Following an intensely emotional scene where he cuts his long hair, Rawinder and his friend Kareem, help him with his mission. A brief flashback explains Laali's vendetta with Jogi after Kamo's suicide. A final scene initially appearing to see the end of the community, eventually ends with the death of Jogi from a shot by Arora just moments after his community is saved by the Indian Army, brought in unexpectedly by Laali.<br />

Anuj Kumar of ''[[The Hindu]]'' said "Diljit has a knack for generating an emotional bond with the audience but somehow he gravitates towards roles that are spotless and characters that could do no wrong. Here, even in the love story, it is the girl (Amyra Dastur) who is almost held guilty for falling in love with Jogi and coming in between two friends. Diljit is trying to be a hero in a film where there could be none and Zafar allows him that space."<ref name=Kumar2022>{{cite news |last1=Kumar |first1=Anuj |date=16 September 2022 |title='Jogi' movie review: Finding humanity in the ashes of trust |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/jogi-movie-review-finding-humanity-in-the-ashes-of-trust/article65898072.ece |access-date=19 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920050238/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/jogi-movie-review-finding-humanity-in-the-ashes-of-trust/article65898072.ece |archive-date=20 September 2022}}</ref> Aman Wadhwa's'' 3.5 star review for ''[[Zee Media Corporation|DNA India]]'' stated "The Ali Abbas Zafar directorial must be commended for its take on inter-religious harmony and for demonstrating how friendship, togetherness, and hope win over in troubled times."<ref name=Wadhwa2022>{{cite news |last1=Wadhwa |first1=Aman |date=16 September 2022 |title=Jogi movie review: Diljit Dosanjh, Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub excel in this emotional thriller on 1984 Sikh Genocide |language=en |work=DNA India |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/movie-reviews/report-jogi-movie-review-diljit-dosanjh-mohd-zeeshan-ayyub-excel-in-this-emotional-thriller-on-1984-anti-sikh-riots-2985639 |access-date=19 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220919202657/https://www.dnaindia.com/movie-reviews/report-jogi-movie-review-diljit-dosanjh-mohd-zeeshan-ayyub-excel-in-this-emotional-thriller-on-1984-anti-sikh-riots-2985639 |archive-date=19 September 2022}}</ref> Abhimanyu Mathur of ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' said "If there is any doubt about Diljit Dosanjh's acting skills, Jogi should clear them once and for all.

''Harmeet Shah Singh'' of ''[[India Today]]'', who had witnessed the 1984 riots when he was age 10 stated "For all its flaws and characteristic Bollywoodism, Jogi still serves as a relevant production for the Netflix generation.
