Jilla has got what it is perfectly needed for a typical authentic 100% pure commercial masala movie. It will be a treat for core Vijay fans but not for everyone.
The story is usual Rowdy-Police encounters. Here the Rowdy turns to be a police and wants to do rehabilitation to his own x-colleagues and whether he succeeds in this game or not will be the rest of the story. Talking of games I found this movie was like snake and ladders entirely we can see so many antagonists getting smashed just like that, seriously effortlessly by our commercial hero. At one stage we lose count on the no of villains.
Casting : Definitely it's not a new role which Vijay has took in this film so nothing new but he has given what was demanded by the character. Then definitely applause to Lal Yetan (Mohan lal) who is a super star of Malayalam Cinema has done his character very well. I didn't want to reveal the cat and mouse crux of Vijay and Mohan Lal. Other than these two leads we have got almost so many known supporting actors throughout the film some of them used well and some of them wasted. Kajal just plays the usual dumb commercial heroine role.
On the whole it seemed like the director had 10 commercial scripts and gave them all mixed as a single flick testing our patience on the second half of the movie.
The movies technical aspects where average maybe it was a quick venture after Thalaivaa. Also the length of the movie went almost 3 hours.
Jilla= 10% father sentiment + 19% hero build up + 10% commercial show offs like item dance and hero fighting 10 people at a time+ 10% sister and brother sentiment + 10% over done songs + 10% comedy + 10 % too much villains + 10% romance + 10% supporting cast+ 1% story = 100% mass masala film
