Whoa… it was a mass celebration at the theaters. Loved loved Jilla and Vijay. FDFS was needless, to say, rocking. But I missed half the dialogs. And the next time , was more into the story . Super entertainer. It had everything. Masala, Mass, fun, youth, love, songs, fights. A regular Vijay film with Lal thrown in, to kick-start the screenplay. Fights were absolute kick-ass. And I liked "Verasa Pogayile" song. Everyone praised "kandaangi". And it delivered. But I liked "verasa" visuals more. First I thought Vijay' s gonna do soft love like "faazil" or "kaavalan" type films , but this later developed into "eppa mama treatuu" . As I said,that's what hit me . You think it's a soft drama, it suddenly hardens into Lal-VJ fighting and then smooths down again. I like this sorta fizz. Makes easy watching

Mohanlal making an appearance was the only motivating factor for me to watch Jilla. And Lalettan under-played subtly. I didn't expect this. But that's exactly why I liked it. Lalettan could have been given more platform to exhibit his histrionics. But ironically, not exceeding is why the role stands out on its own. There is no hyper-realistic histrionics nor mad-cap mayhem. But there's the ubiquitious punch thrown into satisfy the local audience. Lal is definitely much more than, but sivans boundary stops there and lal becomes sivan and does ample justice by mellowing down. There's this one shot in a far-off highway, where hes sitting like a King Dethroned, robbed of pride and glory and yet the director didn't subject the scene to melodrama. Instead he let Lalettan shed a …teardrop ! I love Jilla

It is a movie with a good base story but a poor first half with an excellent middle half and a little lengthy final half.Pros: 1. Actor Vijay with his screen presence is stealing the show in most of the scenes.2. Pretty good songs and BGM by Imman. Intro song, Kandangi and Treatu song is a delight to watch.3. Actor Sampath with his classy acting.4. Stunt sequences are good and apt for a masala entertainer.Cons: 1. Poor artist selection by Director Neason. A versatile actor like Mohan lal has been wasted with just shouting "Naan Sivan da… Sivan illana Sakthi illa". The story is based in Madurai and Mohan Lal speaking a tamil mixed with malayalam slang is little hard to accept. I felt actor like Raj Kiran would have suited this character pretty well.2. The most first half comedy is pretty bad. Parotta Soori following Santhanam's path of double meaning comedy is very disappointing. Vijay's so called comedy with Kajal Agarwal by touching her ass is so awkward. An actor like Vijay who also has the inbuilt talent of comedy can do much better.3. Kajal Agarwal, was really funny to see her in Police Attire. 4. Actor Vijay's dialog delivery in few places reminds me Mahesh Babu's dialogue delivery in Dhookudu movie. He could have tried little differently.5. Good Actors like Azhagam Perumal, Ravi Maria were not properly utilized.So to summarize, jilla a 6 star rated movie that can be watched once.
