Jailer (I) (2023)
5/10
Only for hardcore fans,needed an A certificate

The movie is made only for hard core Rajni fans where every scene seems like a obeisance to his superstardom. The story is very haphazard and it felt at one point they didn't have any ideas so they create a idol theft storyline.

Ramya Krishnan is totally wasted and I dont know why she took up a role which any senior actress even in TV serials playing mother would have sufficed. The comedy is a disaster and the 30 mins where you have Tamannah are the most unbearable in the movie. Why Tamannah? Why? A good actress like her is again completely wasted in a juvenile plot. This mocking of Telugu heroes has been done to death now in all movies.

The movie is extremely violent with graphic scenes. I just don't understand how Mohanlal agreed to such a violent characterisation where he is bashing heads. Movies like these desensitise the next generation to violence which is not good and the censor board seems to have slept through this.

Of all the cameos Shivrajkumar takes the cake, he has massive screen presence and swag, never ever seen his movies before.

And we see that Rajni is back to promoting smoking with cigars all through the movie.

Unless you worship the superstar, this movie will not work for you. He is good in all scenes especially last 20 mins but unfortunately the movie itself is a mess.
