On the whole, Jayanti is a fairly good film but lack of novelty, dull face value and poor promotion will adversely affect its business. Rohan Patil’s editing is reasonably sharp.

Yogesh Ingale’s art direction is ordinary. Action and stunt scenes (Vikas Kumar Singh) should’ve been more fiery. Yogesh Koli’s camerawork is quite alright. neha pendse, Siddharth Menon, Kiran Karmarkar, Jitendra Joshi, Sanskruti Balgude, Sneha Raikar. Background music (Mangesh Dhakde and Lokesh Kanithi) is nothing to shout about. Song picturisations (Debo Suresh Nair and Ganesh Patange) are routine. Lyrics (Guru Thakur, Keshav Gajbhiye and Vaibhav Choudhari) pass muster. Mangesh Dhakde and Ruhi’s music is ordinary. Paddy Kamble (as MLA’s PA, Dinesh Sathe), Anjali Jogalekar (as Santya’s mother, Vatsala), Pradeep Ronghe (as Santya’s father), Atul Mahale (as Shambhu), Shubhangi Raut (as Rekha), Piyush Wankhede (as Santya’s elder brother, Ravikant), Rutuja Wankhede (as Santya’s sister, Manisha) and Vira Sathidar (as Shrikant Mogre) provide fair support. Vibhavari Gajbhiye is alright as Vandana Tai. Saurabh Biramwar (as Rahul), Chetan Gaidbail (as Surya), Shubham Gautam (as Shubham) and Akshay Khobragare (as Chhotya) lend decent support. Kishore Kadam is fair as MLA Vijay Gondane.

Amar Upadhyay has his moments as Vikas Kukreja. Titeeksha Tawde gets limited scope but is alright as Pallavi. Ruturaj Wankhede makes an ordinary debut as Santya. The dialect used for the dialogues is the one which is popular in and around Nagpur. Narwade’s screenplay is fairly engaging but does get boring in the jail sequences. Shailesh Narwade’s story lacks novelty but scores to an extent because it highlights the ideals and principles of Ambedkar. How he fights an influential rapist, Vikas Kukreja (Amar Upadhyay), forms the crux of the story. Ashok Mali (Milind Shinde), turns over a new leaf when he is jailed. Santya (Ruturaj Wankhede) is the good-for-nothing guy who, with the help of Prof. He then follows the philosophy of Babasaheb Ambedkar - first read, then join forces with like-minded people, and finally, fight for what is right. Dashami Studioz and Meliorist Films Studio’s Jayanti (Marathi) is the story of a young man who wastes his time as he is good for nothing.
