YOUR RATING

Three friends Karnan (G V Prakash Kumar) a thief, Kalai (Pasanga Paandi) an ex-convict and Rocky (Nandhan Ram) a drug peddler are childhood friends who live in the government housing board complex in Thuraipakkam, Chennai. The police and the public always eye those in the area as criminals and jobs are denied, forcing them to resort to illegal activities. Rocky is always at loggerheads with a rival gang of drug peddlers. How that triggers a chain of events that spell disaster to the three friends and their families and how a corrupt cop uses them for his own gains is what the rest of the screenplay is all about.

JAIL IS GOOD

Myself is not a cinema lover or buff.

The movie is good entertaining and the life of kaveri nagar people is shown properly! It has all the stuff for a commercial movie!

GV has nailed his acting skills.

appalling plight of underprivileged slum dwellers

#JailMovie narrates the appalling plight of underprivileged slum dwellers who are forced to relocate to the peripheries of Chennai city. They lead pathetic lives surrounded by filth, are forced to resort to unmerited means to make ends meet and are often targeted by immoral cops. There seems to be no ray of light because they are constantly viewed as scumbags. Performances, locations and dialogues seem natural. The climax is effective. Running time needs to be reduced by 20 minutes. Rating 3/5.

Dramatic garbage!!

Expected good story, but the director cheated. The direction was compromised. Screenplay, story was pathetic. The message was not delivered well. Cinematography was good. Liked the music.

Good screenplay

Perfect vasanthabalan movie. But not in the range of angadi theru or veyil or some of his previous movies. Most of the scenes were almost like from few other movies.. GV was ok . Heroine ok too. Nice music . GVs friends acted well too. Wasn't boring . Was good overall.

derailed from story and missed chance

RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil Source: Amazon Prime

Good making and cast but too much diluted into gangster fights rather than actual issues of migration.... Movie started and ended with song solid documentary details about slum migration into concrete jail...but in-between it just travel as gang fight with very average love interest.... If they concentrate more on the theme, it would have another milestone like Madras... Missed chance...
