The struggle depicted in Jhaad to save, plant, and nurture trees resonates as a mantra for environmental conservation bestowed upon this nation. While social issues have been addressed in films till now, the subject of environmental conservation, particularly the preservation and cultivation of trees, has not received as much attention. Therefore, the film Jhaad has sparked great interest in how it tackles this burning and immensely significant issue.
