        Our Rating: 3/5 Watchable Entertainer

When I walked out of the theatre with the audience , I could find them shouting and yelling because of joy. Yes..Jilla is a colorful entertainer. It has all the elements that we expect from such a typical Vijay starrer Tamil Movie.

Jilla begins with Mohanlal’s classy introduction and a small flashback. Sivan(Mohanlal) is a local Don in Madurai who is feared by the people. Sivan brings up Sakthi(Vijay) , son of Sivan’s driver who was killed by a policeman. Mohanlal brings him up as his own child. Sakthi has hatred toward the police. Sivan & Sakthi  are too strong but circumstances for Sivan to ask Sakthi to become a cop. But when Sivan becomes responsible for an accident which resulted in the death of several innocents in Madurai, Sakthi asks Sivan to give up these things. The old Don is not ready to accept this and they start opposing each other.

The conflict between Sivan & Sakthi is what power up the film. Sakthi wants his father to change but the father is not ready for.Dialogues are too punchy.The film works mainly due to Mohanlal-Vijay combo scenes and the energetic mass song  “Sivanum sakthiyum Sernda Mass Da “ in which the duo dances is electrifying. Kajjal Agarwal has nothing much to do in Jilla.

Both the stars have equal screen space. Mohanlal took over the show in the first half & Vijay in the second half. The problem with Jilla is  that it’s too lengthy. For a Mass Masala Entertainer , a 3 hrs duration is a bit lengthy. The first half is interesting beautiful songs and sequences where as the second half lags a bit.

Summing up ..Jilla is a colorful power package which has all the features of a typical mass film.

Performance

Vijay renders enough support In his character. Mohanlal as usual gives a brilliant performance in his new looks & style. All other characters do fit to their roles respectively. Vijay-Kajjal- Soori combination brings out laughter.

Music

D Imman’s tracks were good. Veresa Pogayile is interesting & Kandangi was beautifully shot in Japan.

Direction & Screenplay

Direction from Neason was good. The screenplay is  a bit lengthy even though it engages the viewer. There are too many punchy dialogues in Jilla.

Verdict:- Jilla is a Mass Masala Entertainer For This Festive Season…..A Watchable Movie

Rating:- 3/5
