Ranikanth\u2019s latest offering to Indian Cinema, \u201cJailer\u201d was released yesterday the 10th<\/sup> of August 2023 to an all India audience. The movie was also simultaneously released at Kumily and is currently running to jam packed audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If bloodbaths by the dinner table aren’t a common occurrence in your home, you’re in for a bloody awakening with the new Superstar starrer, Jailer. Director, Nelson Dilipkumar’s latest black comedy is an action-packed thrill ride with a star-studded cast that is successful in catering to the whims of a pan-India audience, for the most part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What begins as the tale of a patient grandpa and a bratty grandchild, moonlighting as a youtuber with a grand 96-subscriber-count, soon turns into the story of a man on the hunt for justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rajinikanth as Muthuvel Pandian is a retired jailer who devotes his time to happily polishing his son Arjun’s (Vasanth Ravi) shoes, running the occasional errand, and begrudgingly trying his hand as an amateur videographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the film, Ramya Krishnan is a dedicated housewife and homebody named Vijaya. One would imagine Neelambari finally being able to experience her happy ending with her long-awaited beau in the story’s initial setting, but her screen time and character progression are unfortunately sidelined to make way for more important things; such as hammers and no happy endings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vasanth Ravi plays the role of a supposedly honest Assistant Commissioner of Police, tailing a mafia gang, in the business of smuggling expensive temple sculptures. When the Jailer\u2019s son Arjun digs his heels into the dirt, he goes missing, and all hell breaks loose; quite literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What follows is a revenge plot turned on its head; alongside scattered pieces of dark humor, headless men, and a whole lot of guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filled to the brim, with all the trappings of a commercial hit, Jailer picks up pace in the second half, taking its sweet time to establish the core storyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varma (Vinayakan), the movie’s prime villain, makes a compelling case for his presence as a striking antagonist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The magnificent Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, Tamannaah Bhatia, Jackie Shroff, and Mirna Menon are small yet vital puzzle pieces of the iconic big picture that is Jailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yogi Babu’s penchant for rephrasing classic Bharathiyar quotes and his not-so-gentle jabs add some much needed flavor to the film’s comedic realm. Anirudh Ravichander’s punchy tunes, on the other hand, efficiently underline Muthuvel’s ultimate transition from docile cat to blood-thirsty Tiger. Surrounded by his trusty group of snipers and friends in high places, Muthuvel Pandian is not merely a shadow of Rajinikanth’s Alex Pandian, but a captivating and relatively realistic 21st-century upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the protagonist’s characterization is not short on its share of imperfections, Rajinikanth’s undeniable charisma and charm as a seasoned veteran are sure to win you over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film’s flashback has a younger Muthuvel proudly stating, “Inga na thaan kingu, naan vetchadhu thaan rules-u (I’m the king here. I make the rules).” And rightfully so. The king of Indian cinema is back and he’s not here to play, he’s out to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
