By the end of first half, Jailer had all the elements to become Rajini’s all time best movies. However, the pace slacks and settles to a decent watch worthy movie by the time it reaches the climax.

Jailer promises loads of action and fun-filled moments that any ardent fan of the Superstar could ask for. Everything that Rajini does in Jailer is targeted at his fans.

Overall, Jailer has an engaging first half with a perfect interval block. It turns rocky in the second half and fails to take things to the next level post-intermission.

The movie has several goosebumps moments, and Nelson crafted it to perfection. Coming to the technical side, Anirudh’s music is the biggest backbone. He elevates Rajini’s action scenes to the next level.

On the whole, Jailer is a partially engaging action drama that relies majorly on the performance and style of Rajinikanth. Superstar was stunning in his role, and the movie has a nice first half.

On the whole, Rajini The Jailer is too lengthy and also boring after a point of time. As such, it will not be able to do much at the Hindi box-office.

How is the fan score worked out?

It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
