Full time-pass Thamizh film starring Vijay, Mohanlal, Kajal,Sampath, "parotta" Suri, Thambi Ramaiah, Mahath, Poornima Bhagyaraj. A multi-starrer of all sorts, the film boasts of a huge budget, colorful extravaganza and maximum entertainment. Vijay is the darling of the masses and Jilla went onto become one of the biggest films with record- breaking opening collections, upon release. The film recently celebrated its 50th day amidst much pomp and fanfare.
Story-wise, it's a typical father-son equation going all wrong and the film deals with emotional conflict, proving to be an effective family entertainer. Direction is by RT.Neason and credit goes to him for handling two super-stars in an extremely effective and casual way, right in his second film. Cinematography is by Ganesh Rajavelu and Imman, who is the current king of melody, has composed five foot-tapping songs. Overall, an effective entertainer

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

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
From debutant director Neason, this movie is a treat for Vijay and Mohanlal fans. A master move to cast Mohanlal to attract audiences across different states. The story revolves around the relationship between Shakthi (Vijay) and Sivan (Mohanlal) who plays father-son duo. Sivan is a gangster who rules the city of Madurai and Vijay plays his foster son who is his trusted right hand in closing matters. Vijay hates policemen after a tragic incident involving his father. The movie starts as a predictable as an average entertainer until an unbelievable twist in the story breathes life into the movie.
The movie has all elements required for a mass entertainer. Songs and background score are impressive from Imman. With some peppy numbers, Vijay does a decent job of entertaining all his fans. With regular doses of comedy, sentiment, stunts, songs and dialogues the movie is a must watch for Vijay fans and is a movie to sit back, relax and watch. Mohanlal does a decent job with his Tamil pronunciation and Kajal Agarwal is visible during songs.
So sit back, relax and get entertained. Good 3/5

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.....

- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor was advised that the film was likely to receive a 15 classification but that their preferred 12A classification could be obtained by making a number of cuts to reduce the bloody violence. When the finished version of the film was submitted for formal classification, edits had been made to reduce sequences of bloody violence, including blood sprays from both bullet impacts and machete blows. The formal submission was consequently classified 12A.
