Jil Jung Juk

Really a great dark comedy movie that literally predicted 2020.

Went to this movie with great expectations...which were not let down by the movie...kudos to the director ,this being his debut film, for making a niche movie...

It starts off slowly ,giving a short and crisp intro for each character involved in the proceedings, and then picks up express pace and finally leaves us laughing our hearts out in the interval block...Been a while in Tamil Cinema where we are faced with a delicious interval block wanting more...

The Scenes involving the Uganda scenario are hilarious...as are the scenes involving the Silo...Dialogues deserve a special mention here..witty and funny to the core..they keep the audience engaged and looking for hidden meanings here and there..

The film has its share of lows nevertheless...The initial scenes involving poker seems forced (influence of several Guy Ritchie films popped up) and removed from the main plot. Climax seemed to make the usual formulaic compromise of shootings, blow-ups etc..

Overall, a fun filled hilarious ride that we can go along without any fear...After Naanum Rowdy Thaan another superb Black Comedy film that has entertained me..expecting more such films from the team..

This isn't everyone's cup of tea. JJJ is really witty and has excellent cinematography and soundtracks. The climax could've been better. That clock thing in the climax was bad. Until then the movie kept me entertained. It's an ambitious movie. Just the writing wasn't good enough. It lacked consistency. Director Deeraj Vaidy is a promising talent. Too bad he didn't get much projects after this. I hope to get to see more movies like this but with better writing and zero cliches.

JIl Jung Juk is one of a kind movie. Siddharth has done a fabulous job both as an actor and producer of the film. All the other supporting actors also played their part well. I really liked characterization of Jill Jung juk and voice of PIA.

Even though story is simple,narration made the movie quirky .The interval comes with a bang and then people start laughing. Post interval the story narration is fast paced and reveals the hero smartness and spontaneity. There comes the Butterfly effect.Director nailed it very nicely.Kudos to the debut director and the music director has really scored well for this movie. Music also enabled the movie to be more Quirky.

Finally its a must watch movie in Tamil.

*Thoughts (No review) from Quentin Tarantino fan who loves this genre films* Jil Jung Jukis an 'Hopefull' film and here is why: Firstly I saw the trimmed version of the film and I loved it. With adult rated talks to long jibber-jabberr's (Yes, At the start you wonder why but at the course of the film you will get to know why those long conversations were inserted into the film), quickie humour to unexpected twists the film is fully inspired from Quentin Tarantino films and other internet sensation jokes inspired from Guy Riitchie films.

As a Quentin Tarantino fan I would rather give a pat at Dheeraj Vaidy's back and say 'well tried and done'. This film and this genre will become a cult in years to come.

Vishal Chandrasekhar's BGM is one of the highlights of the film and I felt that the starting title card number 'casanova' sung by Andrea is under-rated.

Actor Siddharth as a producer has done a great job and I hope he continues his good work by supporting young talented directors.

OFF TOPIC: Currently with this new gen directors it looks like an star actor reference (Mostly VIjay, Ajith) has become a must. Seriously? Having an unwanted 1 minutes actor reference will never bring those actors fans to theater but a good film surely does. Hopefully this shitty trend comes to an end.
