"Joram" unfolds as a gripping survival thriller, depicting Manoj Bajpayee's relentless pursuit to save his toddler from the clutches of those targeting migrant workers' families.
In an interview with Jist, Bajpayee expressed his disappointment regarding the film's theatrical performance, stating, "We purposely released 'Joram' in very few theaters to gauge if the audiences' tastes align with our vision."
