Singh Dhandwar claims the true story of Jaswinder Kaur Sidhu, a young Indian-Canadian woman murdered by her own family in an honor killing in 2000, has been at the back of his mind for more or less the duration of his feature film career \u2014 and there is a bracing air of catharsis to \u201cDear Jassi,\u201d an emphasis on elemental emotions and visceral violence that is new to his work. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Yet in this unfamiliarly restrained register, the filmmaker doesn\u2019t feel entirely at home with pure human storytelling. The two characters at the center of Amit Rai\u2019s screenplay are superficially defined beyond their all-consuming devotion, and that lack of nuance and texture makes for some flat stretches across a leisurely 134-minute runtime \u2014 though a shattering finale, staged with brilliant formalist rigor, leaves the most lasting impression. That echoing impact, combined with auteur name value and a Platform Prize win at Toronto last month, should secure the film global arthouse exposure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cDear Jassi\u201d opens (and closes) with its most fancifully Tarsem-esque flourish, and an effective one at that: a bookending musical narration by celebrated Punjab singer and poet Kanwar Grewal, seated on a desolate patch of farmland that will gain in resonance by the film\u2019s end, that frames the story we\u2019re about to see as a manner of folk tale, at once ancient and unhappily contemporary. \u201cRomeo and Juliet\u201d is directly invoked, and we soon see why as we\u2019re introduced to 19-year-old Jaswinder (Pavia Sidhu), nicknamed Jassi, the ingenuous daughter of a wealthy Indian-Canadian family from British Columbia, and Mithu (Yugam Sood), a poor, illiterate rickshaw driver in her ancestral Punjab hometown of Jagraon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Jassi meets Mithu while visiting relatives in Jagraon, and the attraction between them is im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te. Singh Dhandwar and his young stars are attentive to the naive, moony gazes and gasps of puppy love, though Rai\u2019s dialogue has a tendency to over-explain such body language: \u201cI want to stay here with you forever,\u201d she moans as her return flight to Canada beckons, as if that wasn\u2019t already obvious. Back home, she maintains a long-distance connection with her beau, writing him long, besotted letters that Mithu finds a local scholar to read aloud. But the miles aren\u2019t even the biggest obstacle to their romance, as Jassi realizes her snobbish, tradition-bound family will never consent to her relationship with a working-class nobody. Returning to India, she courageously takes matters into her own hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    You can see where this going, as the story follows (with no fictional intervention needed) its apparent Shakespearean template down to a secret wedding and a catastrophic failure to communicate, only to eventually take its own horribly tragic turn. Singh Dhandwar and Rai counteract the doe-eyed idealism of the central romance \u2014 as Jassi and Muthi vow to stay together against all social and familial obstacles \u2014 with a detailed focus on practical complications, in particular the treacherous paperwork of lawyers and immigration officers. That split between romanticism and real-world grit is most strikingly felt in a candid shot of a divey hotel bed the night after the lovers\u2019 marriage and consummation, its white sheets bearing a blush of blood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Amid such contrasts and complexities, it\u2019s hard not to wish we had a fuller sense of Jassi and Muthi as personalities, rather than as mere beautiful victims of their defiant feelings. An appealing presence with mostly TV credits under her belt, Sidhu gives Jassi some sense of stubbornly dreamy fight, though newcomer Sood finds less expressive leeway in the script. Singh Dhandwar and his regular DP Brendan Galvin regard the leads with almost awed tenderness: Any frame featuring the two seems to glow a little brighter than any other. At their most crazy in love, the film whirls dynamically with them \u2014 though the greatest cinematic coup in \u201cDear Jassi,\u201d counter to all its director\u2019s previous instincts, lies in the poised severity of a still camera, in one scene of unseen, unspeakable punishment. It\u2019s certainly new for a Tarsem Singh Dhandwar film to startle us with imagery withheld, rather than offered in abundance; either way, it\u2019s good to have him back.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
