Jigarthanda (2014)

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Fantastic!

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

What you can do differently in Dark comedy, gangster's film after lots of film that was on that same genre.This on stands out ,breaking the olden template.Love watching the film many times,Bobby sima (Sethu) gives his best.From madurai I can say many detailed dialogues used by our natives.Hats off to Karthik subburaj, for taking his Dream project for his second film itself and gives live to his Dream perfectly. Even the film the is bit longer, you never get bored for a shot.All character played there roles perfectly.Music of this film a big plus point Karthik has got all there best part to make the film to atmost to the best.

The first thing that anyone can say after watching the movie is that its a new genre of movie.Its a story of an aspiring director who attempts making a action movie on a don's life, decides to follow such a living rowdy and in the attempt gets caught by the group. Till this point the movie is paced with good action, seriousness and leaves the audience in suspense for the interval.After the interval, the movie has dynamic change in the direction of the story where in the gangster (Assault Sethu) himselves gets interested in the movie on his life and gives all the detail that the director wanted. But what happens after that is completely what you will never expect. The humour has worked out in an extra ordinary way that your hands might pain clapping and ur stomach might pain laughing.The notable performance by Simhaa (Sethu) is added advantage in the movie. The characterization is so powerful that even after seeing him as a comedian in previous movies, you wouldn't feel it anywhere in the first half.I can certainly say the movie has all the gripping elements to make the audience to be involved with the script from few mins from beginning till the end. The movie has achieved what was intended and defines to the meaning of the title (Hot-Cool) (First half-Second Half), But you cannot make a clear choice whether it was a complete movie in spite of the efforts put in the climax to justify it. And the most powerfully introduced character gives all the details of his murders as a recording which also adds to contradictory facts.

Ever since the first teaser of this film came out, I was hooked to it. And boy did it deliver!!! Bobby Simha has everyone in the theater terrified by his acts in the first half and then the twist in the second half gives him even more ground to play his amazing acting skills. Siddarth does his act well but its admirable that he let Bobby overshadow him whenever he is on screen. Karunakaran as his side kick Oorni is well cast as well as all others in this movie. I always thought a good film maker is one who gives definition to each character in his movie so that we get engrossed in their lives. Here Karthik has given dimensions to each little character and we cannot get them out of our heads. I always thought if u give the audiences a good scene every 5 minutes of your movie, it could be a entertainer and here we have a movie which entertains you every single minute of that 170 minutes duration. Movie is a classic!!! I'm glad that I watched it in theater and god bless Karthik Subbaraj!
