I remember watching Jailer in the theatre with my whole family. My dad, who is a huge Rajinikanth fan, was literally cheering in the cinema hall! The blend of action and comedy was just right. Happy 3 years to this entertainer!
Jailer was good but honestly, the second half dragged a bit. The hype was huge because of the star cast, but I felt the story was predictable. Still, Rajini sir's screen presence alone makes it worth a one-time watch. Excited to see Jackie in Welcome To The Jungle though, that cast is insane!
The cameo of Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar in Jailer was pure goosebumps material! As a South Indian cinema lover, seeing all these legends share screen space with Rajini sir was a dream come true. Jackie Shroff also did a fantastic job. Miss those days!
I'm not usually into Indian action films, but my friend forced me to watch Jailer and I actually enjoyed it! Rajinikanth has such a commanding presence. Jackie Shroff's retro style villain look was quite cool too. The combo of comedy and action worked well.
Waiting for Welcome To The Jungle! That's a proper multi-starrer after a long time. But coming back to Jailer - the interval block with Rajini sir walking in slow motion is one of the best moments in recent Tamil cinema. Legend stuff! 🔥
