What: Though far from perfect, the towering presence of Rajinikanth — along with Nelson’s fortified writing, unique sense of humour and fan service — make ‘Jailer’ a commendable comeback for both the actor and filmmaker.
Furthermore: Even after almost 50 years, Rajinikanth has managed to maintain if not multifold that dignity and impressiveness. It’s this seasoned charisma, along with filmmaker Nelson’s quirky touches, that make their latest collaboration Jailer an enjoyable entertainer.
We say: Rainikanth is iconic. In fact, we heard that in some parts of Chennai, offices had closed down early so that their employees could watch the film – first day, first show.
