Jawan Movie Twist Breakdown - Who Was the Real Villain?

In the days before Jawan came out in theatres, audiences were expecting action, drama and double roles. But what they didn't know was the truth that lay under the explosions. In the film, Shah Rukh Khan playing both an empathetic son and father of a soldier who was wronged The film asks the question of a terrifying nature:

Did Kalee the real villain? Or was the real villain something more significant?

Let's look at the story, what's behind it and what it says about the present world.

The Face of Evil: Kalee or Something Worse?

On first look, Kalee Gaikwad (played by Vijay Sethupathi) appears to be the obvious antagonist:

A weapons dealer
A corrupt billionaire
A unremorseful killer

The true story lies in how he was able to become so powerful initially.

He wasn't just a villain. He was sheltered by a system that was broken.

Kalee's crimes were supported by:

Politicians who have sold out
Police officers who sat back and watched
Media that remained silent

Vikram & Azad: The Dual Fight for Justice

Shah Rukh Khan plays Vikram Rathore (father) and Azad (son)--both fighting the same war, decades from each other.

Character	Mission	Result
Vikram Rathore	Detach faulty weapons	Trayorized and labeled a traitor
Azad Rathore	Clean father's name Beware of corruption	Leads a vigilante movement

Azad's story exposes the extent of the institutional failure and demonstrates how personal losses can turn into public protest.

Hidden Symbolism You May Have Missed

Azad's title is "Freedom" - symbolic of India's fight against its internal enemies.
Vikram's deceit = The way truth-tellers are disregarded.
Hacking into scenes = citizens claiming the power of a corrupt democracy.
The public confession = The ultimate conclusion is not violence but the truth spreading.

Who Was the Real Villain?

Here's a list of the main possible suspects:

Suspect	Villain?	Why?
Kalee	Yes	Innocents murdered, faulty weapons
Politicians	Yes	Funded Kalee and silenced Vikram
Media	Partial	They ignored corruption, but they promoted propaganda
Society/System	Real Villain	The injustice that was allowed to endure

The true adversary wasn't a single person; it was an entire system that was designed to protect those who are similar to him..

The Real Twist - A War Against Silence

In the last scene, Azad doesn't just kill the villain, he confronts him with the facts on the national television. The message is clear:

"Don't be patient waiting to be to be a hero. Change the world. Ask questions."

It's not about getting revenge, but awakening a sleepy democracy.

Final Thoughts: A Hero Is Only As Strong As His Cause

Jawan employs actions to tell a greater story. The most interesting thing isn't the dual roles, or even surprise appearances. It's the notion that:

Justice requires courage
The silence of a computer is complicity
The system will never alter unless people insist on it changing.

The world in Jawan Jawan, the battle isn't finished. Perhaps that's why the story isn't over.
