Overall Rating: Nuts
So glad to have finaaaaaaally watched Driver Jamuna after many many months of waiting! We would have loved to say that the waiting was worth it, but alas it was not 😥
There were lots of potentials not tapped into and subsequently, the movie was just an average watch
~Still Worth Watching~ 

Delicious
—We loved the originality of the script centered on a female cab driver unknowingly carrying gangsters on a criminal mission. The guys were boldly merciless😲
No sense of chivalry toward the poor Jamuna (Aishwarya Rajesh) who was just going about her normal day
We were eager to find out how the events would unfold amidst the police force trying to apprehend the villains
—The dominant blue color grading, also reflected in Jamuna’s outfit, served as a great symbol of intelligence, creativity, wisdom, and strength which suited Jamuna.
She had to be resilient and think on her feet in order to come up with a smart plan to survive this ordeal

Bland
—The screenplay was quite steady, nothing too striking apart from the excess slashing of bodies.
There was no variety of characters, we had the usual police force, politicians, gangs, and common people entangled in the middle
—For a movie like Driver Jamuna, dynamic cinematography would have really intensified the scenes, but the shaky and rough camera moments inside the taxi cab hurt the quality
—Aishwarya Rajesh is one of our all-time favorite actresses, somehow, in this film, she looked unmotivated. 
True, Jamuna was a hurting woman due to her father’s death and her mother’s sickness, that’s why she was quiet and sad.
Nonetheless, Aishwarya didn’t portray the role in a unique and memorable manner; she gave off the same facial expression and body language throughout
