Movie was superb, no doubt. We always want these kinds of movies to watch but now it's very rare that this much good screenwriting, direction, dialogue quality, and the picturisation of action scene in the last was mind-blowing it was like I am watching some Hollywood action. It is very astonishing that these type of great story lines and good quality acting is defeating bollywood. Must watch movie so many climax in one movie was not impossible afterall

Tho first & second half felt like two different films and bullets might be made out of paper, it did justice to bring out matters that needed to be championed by many but ignored by all.

Since I went through the ordeal of surviving for 2.5 hours, I thought I'd as well review it. How do you take down an International don? Walk into his villa with guns and country bombs and shoot everyone like sparrows. And there you go. The job is done. That, my friends, sums up what to expect. Small time criminal Suruli (Dhanush) goes to whiteman's (John Cosmo) heartland, plays dirty, kills gold-hearted terrorist (what a way to waste Joju George), changes mind, becomes a crusader and fights against racism, Srilankan Tamils etc. And guess what, he influences changes in the British parliamentary bill. Man, that's a lot to digest in a 2.5 hours movie. It is an unabashed over the top commercial potboiler which I strongly believe is not Karthik Subbaraj's fortay. He bites more than what he can chew. The execution, unnecessarily long, at times lingers way too long and makes you wonder when will the scene end and cut to the next. What stands out is the impressive camera work. Music is underwhelming. This is a movie created for Dhanush fans. I cannot shake away the feeling that Dhanush has tried the mannerisms and body language of Rajini in his early years. In the OTT space there are much better choices. You wouldn't regret skipping it.

Some moments feel fresh, but the movie's patterns are familiar: scheme, slaughter, repeat.

JAGAME THANDHIRAM has a lot to offer, especially in the first half. But it doesnt succeed in bringing together its difficult main protagonist, the important topics it addresses and the different tones in a captivating and satisfying way.

Rated: 6/10

The Quint

Karthik Subbaraj's new padam marks a return to a well-acquainted mash-up territory of Madurai mobsters and meta-comedy. But Jagame Thandhiram isn't exactly a return to form.

At 157 minutes, Jagame Thandhiram is at least an hour too long.

Rated: 2/5
