Being a South Indian, atlee's jawan did not bring anything new to the platter except for the excitement to see shahrukh doing what rajnikant, vikram, kamala hassan, vijay did from last 10 years. Current social issues are raised, and our superhero tackles it with applause from the public in the movie and audience out of the movie.
Loved the background score but felt the songs were just average. Even in bollywood, we have experienced such movies, Nayak(again directed by tamil director). It's a donkey years old formula repeated 1 more time with lot of style and swag. It's an extravagance when it come to action sequence. Now we don't have to rely on Hollywood as we are at par with them.
If pathan was only style, then jawan has added some substance to style. Movie is super duper hit but if you are a true movie lover, your quest for novelty is not satisfied. This is Cadbury éclairs in a new shiny rapper.
