Jigarthanda Movie Review

'Jigarthanda' is a well-directed, brilliantly performed, raw and crowd pleasing con story.

The way the whole thing turns around in the climax is smart. You'll really love the way the film ends. It is worth a watch. Simha should make hay, 'cause the sun is shining.

Jigarthanda is a satirical tale masquerading as a gangster film...

Aided by his entire cast and technical department, breaking the myth that promising debut filmmakers may not fare in their next, Karthik Subbaraj clearly proves that he is here to stay! A film not to be missed!.

More than anything else, it is Karthik Subburaj’s screenplay and direction which keeps this Jigarthanda taste good till the end. You are belted with thrills, comedy, drama and twists in what just might be the right proportions.

After an intriguing first half where aspiration meets reality, the director weaves subplots one after another.

If Pizza was a con movie dressed up as a haunted house horror thriller, Jigarthanda is basically a comedy cloaked as a gangster movie.

Jigarthanda is a totally unpredictable film. There is reality mixed in with creativity, terror with undercurrents of humour, sentiments, fleeting romance and loads of fun.

Jigarthanda is raw, clearly told and properly delivered. Every scene you see has a purpose, experimenting on the grounds of realism and relativity.
