“Jalsa is a very important title for me, it is a celebration. And, I think, we keep talking about you should celebrate yourself, you should celebrate your womanhood, your life every single day. In that context, at the end of the film, you feel like once you’ve been through something and once you emerge on the other side of it is like a celebration. When you’ve been through the wringer and you emerge on the other side, every little struggle or challenge that you overcome is a Jalsa, or rather, calls for a Jalsa that is a celebration of life as is with its ups and downs.”

Replete with spellbinding performances and a nerve-wracking storyline, Jalsa promises to keep you at the edge, leaving you wanting for more.
