The public's attitude toward the entire clan changed overnight as a result of the murder of the Indian Prime Minister by two Sikh men and people began to become more thirsty for blood.
I anticipated a brutal massacre and a lot of bloodshed going into the movie. We understand that but Netflix's Jogi is a toned-down version of the reality. In order to fit the plot of Jogi saving his neighbours and friends the chilling truth about the manner in which many innocent Sikhs were murdered is disregarded. However, the brief portion of the brutal massacre that was shown is both condensed and upsetting. You want our main character to charge in with guns blazing and exact revenge on those who killed his family and fellow Sikhs because it makes your blood boil so much.
