I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I went to the theatre without much anticipation in this movie even if the trailer looks good. From the first scene itself, I was rooted to this movie. I thought of it as an action movie. But the move cannot be termed in any one genre but it is tailor-made to classify it in all genre. It has romance, comedy, action, suspense and a great story to tell. The director Karthick subburaj stands out in every frame in the movie. There is no forced songs or comedy. Everything comes in flow in this movie. And Unexpected twists till the climax makes you glued till the end. Every actor is done their part well but bobby simha excels all the above. Fine performance by him. Every character has a purpose in the movie. Even the petty shop old man has a small but meaningful character in the movie. I wholeheartedly praise the director and I wish him to make many more great movies in his career.

Jigarthanda is an amazing movie that all of you should watch in the theaters. Here are a few reasons why.1. Superb performance from Simha, nails the character and really makes the story great 2. Great script/screenplay by Karthik Subbaraj. He was the reason this movie worked and the twists in the movie was what made it really interesting., 3. Santhosh Narayanan composed some great BGM for this movie and also a great soundtrack 4. Although not that prominent, Siddharth does a good job in his role 5. The movie is extremely hilarious, especially in the second half, but it sticks to the script and doesn't get out of hand.6. Karunakaran does a good job of making the scenes comical and his timing is almost perfect.7. The cinematography in this movie is extremely good and crisp, especially liked how the camera was still, nicely zoomed, the angles in which the shots were taken.8. If you liked Pizza, this movie has plenty more to enjoy than Pizza.9. Only minor flaw, there was almost no use for Lakshmi Menon but in order for the script to have worked she had to be part of the story.10. Final verdict: Definitely an award winning movie (Cinematography, BGM, Simha, Screenplay, Direction, Music, Comedian, and possibly film)and everyone has shown they have potential for films in the near future.
