Jailer Movie: Rating Analysis
Altogether Jailer is a decent action entertainer. Nelson Dilip Kumar showed superstar Rajinikanth in the role of a subdued family man having the flashback of a violent cop. He included many scenes to elevate the heroism of Rajinikanth and this will delight all his fans. To make up for the predictable plot and story, he included subtle comedy in the form of Yogi Babu. This made the first half entertaining and interesting and the interval bang and the start of the second half excites all. But he loses pace from then on and gets confused on how to take the narration forward be it in a serious tone or in a hilarious way.
Thus the antagonist role after a serious intro turns out to be silly in between before assuming the serious avatar during the pre-climax. The second half comedy scenes featuring Sunil and others impacted the film in a negative way affecting the film's progress. The inclusion of top stars Jackie Shroff, Shiva Rajkumar, and Mohan Lal excites all, and their powerful intro and their involvement in the pre-climax delights all. However, their cameos just come now and then and look forced. For all the highs and intense dialogues, Nelson Dilip Kumar lost the plot in the middle. He has taken many cinematic liberties to turn an interesting plot into just an average one.
Little fine-tuning of the script and screenplay and careful direction would have got better results. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2 Rating for Jailer.
