Jilla

Mohanlal making an appearance was the only motivating factor for me to watch Jilla. And Lalettan under-played subtly. I didn't expect this. But that's exactly why I liked it.

Lalettan could have been given more platform to exhibit his histrionics. But ironically, not exceeding is why the role stands out on its own. There is no hyper-realistic histrionics nor mad-cap mayhem. But there's the ubiquitious punch thrown into satisfy the local audience. Lal is definitely much more than, but sivans boundary stops there and lal becomes sivan and does ample justice by mellowing down.

There's this one shot in a far-off highway, where hes sitting like a King Dethroned, robbed of pride and glory and yet the director didn't subject the scene to melodrama. Instead he let Lalettan shed a …teardrop ! I love Jilla

well lets say, this is another typical vijay movie. its got a similar storyline like his previous movies, save his father, help the poor. its all the same but the movie actually doesn't get you bored at any part, it actually moves you along, there are no stand out scenes in the movie, the movie does a decent job of telling what it wants us to know.

the acting is amazing, vijay brings his likability to screen and mohanlal brings his best out to screen, this time around there is a lot of emotional moments and vijay and mohanlal nail the emotional scenes. the action scenes are exactly what you can expect from a vijay movie, the comedy also is pretty good, though they have double meaning, kajal looks adorable and there is no much importance for her role, she is just there for the sake of having an actress in the movie,something lack in the film but it never pulls you off the experience,this is the movie you can watch once, don't get your expectations high, just sit and get a popcorn

Basically handling two major superstars in one film is not easy at all for anyone, even for a talented director. However, in this film direction towards vijay and mohanlal seemed to be much good either in action scenes or in fun making scenes. As this film been considered as the commercial entertainer, it totally exemplifies it undoubtedly. Along with vijay and mohanlal other co stars also given their best, which's the most highlight able point in this film. From beginning to end it could be considered as the tasty commercial recipe which has all ingredients perfectly, but only turned little badly in climax somehow. For a film, climax is the most significant segment which's because it may decide whether the film been enjoyed by the audience or not. According to me i only felt bad about he climax. Besides the climax, this film is a solid commercial entertainer which has lovable music, fun, sentiment, and action overall. In conclusion Jilla is an expectable treat for his fans, and no one should miss this entertainer for any reason.....

Its one of those Commercial rockets. Works primarily B-COS although its got stars, its got a engrossing story that keeps claiming attention. Something or other happens in Jilla ! either somebody is comical or somebody is fighting a war or somebody is asking justice. Its this "story-laden" aspect that works big-time for this movie. on the flip side, there was probably too much story. every scene had detailing which worked largely positively and at times, over-whelmed the frame. But try telling that to vijay die-hard fans ! Direction was smooth. Not over- doing anything and good tempo maintained throughout. I wonder why there were complaints on the pacing. i look forward to good story-telling and pacing is never a deterrent in an action masala. overall, Jolly enjoyable film

Decent Entertainer. Songs were good. Story was nice. Mohanlal acted very well. Simple acting. No over-acting. Family emotions and sentiment also well done. Scene with sister in second half also good. Sampath unexpected villain. Good twist. Seeing poornima jayaram on screen after years was also nice. No overacting by mother and son in drama scenes. Heroine portion could have been better. But melody was nice. Imaan is proving he is boss of melody. Too much fighting, although crowds like it. In fact movie has lot of fights which todays youth love ! which i felt could have been avoided. but to compensate, Parotta suri is very comical. But expected more from thambiramaiah. Overall, nice movie. Can be enjoyed with family.
