It is good to see Superstar Rajinikanth in a solid role after a long time. His characterization is well designed by Nelson. Rajinikanth underplays for the most part of the first half, and he transforms into a menacing force as the film progresses. This has been superbly shown, and the interval block is terrific.
Rajinikanth’s comedy timing has been nicely utilised in Jailer, and his scenes with Yogi Babu evoked good laughs. The dark comedy worked pretty well in the first hour. Especially the fun infused during the action set pieces was enjoyable.
Anirudh is the second pillar of Jailer after Rajinikanth. He elevated Superstar in an excellent manner with his thumping background score. Especially the Hukum song and the interval sequence looked stunning, thanks to the pulsating background score of Anirudh. Ramya Krishna, Mirnaa Menon, Vinayakan, and Vasanath Ravi were adequate in their roles.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
