There is no justification to the title Jalsa. Screenplay is fragile, testing the patience of the audience, yet with three-hour duration.

Whatever the fate of the movie, Sanjay Sahu will be among the characters that he has played, for Bangaram and Annavaram and others are highly forgettable and typecast. After Balu and Siddhartha Roy (to an extent, Gudumba Shankar), Sanjay Sahu will stay.(more)
