Superstar Rajinikanth and Director Nelson join hands for the first time with Jailer. Nelson's last flick Beast with Vijay didn't live up to the expectations of trade. On the other side, Rajni is waiting for a proper hit of his calibre for long time.
Story :- Mutthu (Rajni) is a retired Jailer who is very composed and leads a peaceful family man life. His son Arjun (Vasanth Ravi) who is an ACP is very sincere in his duty and is tracking a gang who are smuggling idols and jewellery of God. The Gand leader Varma (Vinayakan) wants to eliminate Arjun from his way. One day Arjun disappears suddenly and even the police department couldn't track. Mutthu is forced to bring out his old lifestyle to track about his son. Will he be able to find about his son? How does he handle Varma? Forms rest of the story.
Performances :- Rajni is back. He is stylish, fierce, funny, and Uber cool. This plot is tailor made for him and he has nailed it. Right from costumes to his antics, he looked perfect. Though it's a mass film, there is scope for great acting and Rajni was spot on. He didn't overdo anywhere, nor he underplayed. He just delivered what's required. Vinayakan as main villain is very good. His acting, dialogues and costumes, were well designed. Vasanth Ravi, Ramya Krishna had limited roles and they did well. Yogi Babu & VTV Ganesh brings good laughs in 1st half. Cameos by Sivanna, Jackied Shroff and Mohanlal clicked well, especially during climax it took to next level. Sunil is okay.
Technicians :- Anirudh was phenomenal. His background score took an good scene to mind boggling scene. Especially, the Hukum background score whenever and wherever it's placed, it worked superbly. He is the biggest asset. Any mass hero deserves such background score from Anirudh. Cinematography is very good keeping color tone very subtle yet effective. Costumes of All the cast was very well done. Nelson made a terrific comeback. He delivered what a Rajni fan has been asking for ages. At the same time, he pleased family audience equally, barring the violence scenes. 1st half of the movie is one of the best halves I've seen recently. It had all the elements, character establishment, conflict point, submissive and elevation. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a 1st half of a movie so well. In terms of engaging and entertaining, 1st half is like an Rajamouli film or a KGF, and for sure it will attract repeat audiences. 2nd half of the move is dragged a bit, which is a let down considering a great 1st half. However, the climax is a relief again.
Positives :-
Rajnikanth
Terrific 1st half
Mind blowing background score
Elevation scenes
Negatives :-
Dragged 2nd half
Summary :- Jailer is a Paisa vasool film that has to be watched in big screens. You would love Rajni in this and it's been ages since one experiences such kind of euphoria in a theatre.
Rating :- 3.5/5 (Would strongly recommend to watch it in theatres)
