Jailer (IND/2023) Movie:- {Spoilers Free} review
As disclosed above, its tale goes like this – Tiger Muthuvel Pandian (Rajinikanth) is a retired official, who leads a peaceful and contented life with his wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson. But, then his Cop son Arjun Pandian (Vasanth Ravi) who is investigating the missing temple idol case goes missing one day. The police authorities presume him to be dead. Now it is up to Tiger Muthuvel, to unearth the mystery, to unmask the people responsible for his son’s disappearance and find his missing son. Can the Tiger do all of these?
To be honest, however, this film relies too heavily on the broad shoulders of the protagonist Tiger (Rajinikanth) – the Thalaiva of the Tamil film industry. The antagonist Varman (Vinayakan) plays the role of a cruel and heartless villain, and he has done a good job. Not the forget the comic relief provided by Vimal (Yogi Babu) and Blast Mohan (Sunil) characters. The action -sequences are imaginative, but sometimes, they do cross the lines and are over the top variety.
Still, one has to agree that with this film, the Thalaiva delivers wholesome entertainment for the masses and his adoring fans. The hit music of Anirudh Ravichander in this film also helps the film.
So, in this action-oriented Indian film, its simple script takes the backseat, as it relies heavily on the star power of its cast. Which is led by the superstar power of Rajinikanth (Tiger Muthuvel Pandian) and ably supported by the cameo appearances by big and well-known stars like Ramya Krishnan (Vijaya Muthuvel Pandian), Mohanlal (Mathew), Shivarajkumar (Narasimha), Jackie Shroff (Kamdev), Tamannaah Bhatia (Kamannah), etc. No doubt, this revenge movie drama with its predictable twists and turns boasts quite a star power.
To conclude, it is a good time-pass movie to watch.
