L Jagadamma Ezhaam Class B Movie Review : A watchable village drama that needed sharper writing

L Jagadamma Ezham Class B is a grounded political drama set in the rural village of Parathuruth. Urvashi shines as Jagadamma, a strict, respected Panchayath worker who runs a Thozhilurappu team, lends money to locals, and even supplies junior artists to film sets. She’s fierce, funny, and totally in control. This is her show, and she runs it with style.

When political tensions rise in her workplace and realises things are not easy, Jagadamma takes the bold step of contesting the by-election as an independent. With support from her loyal foster son enacted by Kalesh and the Kudumbashree women, she rises against the odds and claims a surprising victory.

Directed by Shivas, the film feels like a spiritual sequel to Jaladhara Pumpset. It carries a similar mix of satire and social commentary, but the script here doesn’t pack the same punch. While the premise is strong and the characters colourful, a tighter screenplay could’ve elevated the film much more.

Still, Urvashi’s performance is reason enough to watch, commanding and effortlessly entertaining. She lifts even the weaker scenes with sheer presence.

A watchable village drama but it needed sharper writing to truly stand out.
