Actor Jiiva : "My Dad hugged me after watching 'Jilla''
"For the first time I am crooning the production cap on my head. Except me, all of my family members have loved the film.
I have not seen my dad praising even his own production film. But once he watched the film, he immediately called me and said, "You have made the right choice. I did not get a single minute bored after watching a 3 hours film." He called the director Nesan also for the racy screenplay.
Director Nesan said : "Jilla" is for all kind of audience. Kids, Youngsters, adults all will love the film. I have rectified all of my mistakes done in the first film. The film had came out in a great manner. 'Jilla' is not only a treat for Vijay fans, I am sure that 90% audience will love the movie.
The film's mass starts off from the intro song where Vijay and Mohanlal would be dancing together and that raciness will be continued till the end. All I can assure the people is a 'confirm superhit. Let us meet in the "'Jilla" success meet" said Director Nesan.

Looks like a complete commercial entertainer. Vijay got cuter. Kudos to Nesan and his team for keeping the suspense intact and not revealing much about the story.

[MrIndia]

Each Frame in the Trailer can be a poster. Fight , comedy , Romance looks amazing. Hopefully the emotional scenes comes out really well, I think Lal sir will help a lot in this area. Padam Sure The block the buster. !!!!

Jilla trailer is mass

Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s Jilla 1 min 46 sec trailer is mass, with all commercial ingredients, which is sure to be liked by the audiences. The trailer has equal footage of Mohanlal and Vijay, and does not have any punchline.

The dance movement and the fight sequences along with comedy looks attractive. The comedy scene of Vijay trying to imitate Mohanlal’s famous slanting walk is hilarious.

And the ending has the “Sivanum Sakthiyum chernal mass adda”, which is sure to give that mass effect in the film.

On the whole Neason’s trailer has given the additional boost to the film.

Jilla trailer review- ''I'm very happy!''Jan 08, 2014
The much anticipated trailer of Vijay starrer Jilla is out. The 1 minute 46 second trailer begins with an intro music, followed by the introductions of Vijay and Mohanlal.

While Vijay appears from the shadows, Mohanlal’s intro is more chromatic and royal. Welcoming the Malayalam star with Chenda Melam looks apt and adds to his majestic appearance.

The trailer promises lot of action and comedy. Vijay also seems to have contributed extensively to the humour and his delivering of Goundamani’s famous “I’m very happy” dialogue appears to have struck a chord with the fans. With Parotta Soori, Madhumitha and Vidyullekha Raman in the ensemble, Jilla appears to be a laughter ride.

On the other hand, Vijay has done some extraordinary stunts and the cinema hall for sure will resound with whistles and cheers.

On the whole, the trailer of Jilla promises a wholesome commercial entertainer and a sumptuous one at that, for this Pongal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1_og1IF4wE oh...it looks good...vijay's comedy :thumbsup:

but i noticed some guy saying like this

"arrambam ellam attahasamath than irukkuthu"

I think you guys are thinking too deeply into it. When I watched the trailer I never even noticed it till you guys pointed it out. It should make more sense if you watch the movie.

As far as I know none of the Vijay fans thought like that. Gone are those days. It is feasible to avoid peculiar movie names but not common words.

yeah may be but it is not intentional and there are chances that this scene might have shot before arambam was even named ;)

[yellow]

yeah may be but it is not intentional and there are chances that this scene might have shot before arambam was even named ;)

Might be true :)--> this scene might have shot before arambam was even named ;)

[ajaybaskar]

The dailogue is very similar to the popular Vadivelu dialogue from Winner, 'ஓப்பனிங் எல்லாம் நல்லாத்தான் இருக்கு, ஆனா உன் ஃபினிஷிங் சரியில்லையேப்பா' - A dialogue which is often used by Vijay fans during fights with the opposite camp. Now Soori has given a different version of it.

வெளிநாடுகளில் கலக்கப்போகும் ஜில்லா!






http://cinema.vikatan.com/uploaded/vijay2.jpg

பொங்கல் பண்டிகையை ஒட்டி 'ஜில்லா' மற்றும் 'வீரம்' ஆகிய படங்கள் உலகம் முழுவதும் ரிலீஸ் ஆகின்றன.
விஜய் மற்றும் மோகன்லால் நடித்த 'ஜில்லா' படம் இதுவரை இல்லாத அளவிற்கு வெளிநாடுகளில் உள்ள தியேட்டர்களில் திரையிடப்பட இருக்கிறது.

பொதுவாக விஜய் நடித்த படத்திற்கு மலேசியா, அமெரிக்கா, பிரிட்டன், மற்றும் இலங்கை ஆகிய நாடுகளில் நல்ல வரவேற்பு இருக்கும்.
ஆனால், 'ஜில்லா' படத்திற்கு விநியோகிஸ்தர்களே எதிர்பார்க்காத வகையில் மிகப்பெரிய அளவில் வெளிநாடுகளில் வரவேற்பு கிடைத்துள்ளதாம்.

வெளிநாடுகளில் மட்டும் மொத்தம் 213 தியேட்டர்களில் ரிலீஸ் ஆக ஒப்பந்தம் ஆகியுள்ளதாம் 'ஜில்லா'. இது 11 நாடுகளில் மட்டும்தான் .
மலேசியாவில் இன்னும் தியேட்டர்களின் எண்ணிக்கை முடிவாகவில்லையாம்
.
ஜில்லா வெளியாகும் அதே நாளில் வெளியாகும் அஜித்தின் 'வீரம்' படம் இதுவரை வெளிநாட்டில் 153 தியேட்டர்களில் ஒப்பந்தம் ஆகியுள்ளதாம்.

வீரத்தை முந்தியது ஜில்லா.. வெளிநாடுகளில் ஜில்லாவுக்கு அமோக வரவேற்பு.. 10ஆம் தேதி உலகம் முழுவதும் வெளிவர இருக்கும் ஜில்லா படம் இதுவரை தமிழ் படங்களில் இல்லாத அளவிற்கு வெளிநாடுகளில் எக்கச்சக்க தியேட்டர்கள் புக் ஆகியுள்ளது. எப்போதுமே விஜய் படத்திற்கு அமெரிக்கா, மலேசியா, பிரிட்டன் மற்றும் இலங்கையில் நல்ல வரவேற்பு இருக்கும்.

ஆனால் ஜில்லா படத்திற்கு விநியோகிஸ்தர்களே எதிர்பார்க்காத வகையில் மிகப்பெரிய எதிர்பார்ப்பு உள்ளதாம் இப்பொது. அதற்கு ஒரு முக்கிய காரணம் விஜய்யுடன் மோகன்லாலும் இருப்பதும் ஒரு காரணம். இதுவரை இதுவரை மொத்தம் 213 தியேட்டர்களில் 11 நாடுகளில் வெளியாக ஆக ஒப்பந்தம் ஆகியுள்ளது ஜில்லா. மலேசியாவில் இன்னும் தியேட்டர்கள் புக் ஆகிக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறது.

மலேசியாவில் மிக அதிக தியேட்டர்களில் வெளியான தமிழ்ப்படம் எந்திரன் என்ற சாதனையை ஜில்லா முறியடிக்கும் என கூறப்படுகிறது. ஆனால் அஜீத்தின் "வீரம்" படம் இதுவரை 153வெளிநாட்டு தியேட்டர்களில்தான் ரிலீஸ் ஆக புக் ஆகியுள்ளது. படம் பத்து நாள் ஓடினாலே போதும், ஜில்லா போட்டதை கல்லா கட்டிவிடும் என்கிறார்கள் வாங்கியவர்கள்.

[mareen]

i guess more than films his popularity among eelam tamils in europe has to do with his marriage with sangeetha who is of eelam tamil origin
so like namma paya vijay feeling

Contrary to popular belief this is not the case. His wife has a bad name here but this topic is for another day.

He is loved by teens/kids. There is no denying that and his audience base never see him that way because of his marraiage especially the late teens.

Soure - eelam tamil myself.

I saw on FB a lawsuit filed for jilla name.. I don know where these idiots come from 'ஜில்லா' படத்திற்கு தடை கோரியவரை தாக்கிய மர்ம கும்பல் (http://tamil.oneindia.in/movies/news/jilla-ban-issue-unidentified-gang-attacks-producer-mahendran-191094.html)

True or false, Vijay has to be accountable now for this kolai muyarchi thaakudhal also :|. Munnadila padam vanthu nallalaena thaan kasta pada vendi irrukum ippolam padam varathukkae kasta pada vendi irruku.

[mareen]

Thalaiavaa is a good example. I wont be surprised if jilla doesnt release either. I think there should be a rule that any cases brought against a film should happen a month before its release.

2001 Pongal - Dheena VS Friends :

Both Dheena and Friends did a solid business at the box office. Dheena was a mass entertainer and gave a big break in Ajith's career, of course a hit director AR Murugadoss has been introduced with Dheena.

Friends is a family entertainer and it marked the hat-trick success for Vijay after Kushi and Priyamanavale.

2002 Diwali - Baghavathi vs Villain:

Vijay's Baghavathi did average business at the box office while Ajith's Villain was a super hit. The Diwali also seen another film Ramanna which was actually a blockbuster.

2003 Diwali - Thirumalai vs Anjaneya:

2003 Diwali marked the success for Vijay and Thirumalai was actually a comeback movie for the actor while Ajith's Anjaneya did average business.

2006 Pongal - Aadhi vs Paramasivan:

2006 Pongal has both Aadhi and Paramasivan. Paramasivan did okay business while Aadhi was a disaster.

2007 Pongal - Pokkiri vs Aalwar:

2007 Pongal has both Pokkiri and Aalwar, Vijay's Pokkiri was a blockbuster while Ajith's Aalwar was a disaster.

I can see it in an hour but family want me to go with them on saturday. What to do...so sad.

[ajaybaskar]

Tremendous response here in Dubai. Watched with equal number of fans of Lal and Vijay and both were trying to outsmart each other with whistles and claps. Great experience.

On the positive side, even though the duration is 3 hours, there is not much of a lag. Nesan actually exceeds expectations. Tailor made role for Vijay and he carries it with ease. Lal doesn't have the same scope as Vijay but still Nesan tries his best to give them equal screenspace. Cinematography was good too..

On the negatives, the songs were not picturised well. Editing was wayward. Couldve been much better. Some over the top sentimental scenes are there.

[mareen]

Ok decision made. Going Saturday with friends and family.

Thanks Ajay for review. Sounds great.

[Mr.GreyShirt]

Great news ....jus curious ...is it a fan's only type of movie? .....the haters will surely have only bad things to say......but will it click with the unsuspecting neutral/family audience?

I was concerned about the editing since I believe they had last minute changes and looks like it has backfired based on your observation

The film has been made for the fans and the neutral audience and I am sure they are going to lap it up. Dont worry about the purists' reviews. The film was not directed by Maniratnam. Its a Nesan movie, produced by Supergood films and they have catered well to their target audience.

I saw Jilla @ 5 AM today.. The second half was more entertained than first half.. I felt tht 1st half was little bore and i lost hope in few scenes but both starts showed their MASS!! Unexpectedly In 2nd half, Nesan played well with more timing comedy(Thanks Soori!!) , few sentimentals and actions.. Finally Jilla is more typical Vijay's mass entertainer with Mohanlal.. Hey Iman!! Thank u very much Iman!! you are the real hero of Jilla!! Ur Background score worked well well well to MASS!! Nesan nee therita machan!!

[ajaybaskar]

Yeah. Me too liked the second half more than the first. Not that I felt the first half was boring. But some needless scenes and editing did give me a scare. But Nesan took control later.

[Rogerusabe]

Positive response everywhere :happydance:

Jilla - Review
IndiaGlitz [Friday, January 10, 2014] 3 Comments


It's a prized catch for Nesan, who impressed Ilayathalapathy and roped him in for the action packed, racy, gripping Pongal treat. As mentioned time and again, to rope in the leading stars from sister woods and get them to perform with fairly equal prominence, and also pleasing audience of both backgrounds is far easier said than done. So, expectations on this particular Pongal release is sky high. Has 'Jilla' lived up to all the hopes? Totally! Ranging from sweet romance and funny moments to killer action, 'Jilla' is thoroughly entertaining and clean to the letter. The very well renowned Sivan is respected for precisely all the wrong reasons. Taking the temple town under his control using his monetary power and physical strength, Sivan rules the roost of Madurai in every influential respect. Sivan adopts Sakthi, as the latter loses his father in a local spat. It is the same incident that develops dire hatred for Sakthi towards cops at large. Growing up as his own son, Sakthi is the most favourite of Sivan's three children. All goes well until the day when Sivan is arrested by the police. Given the pressing situation, Sakthi turns a cop too, just to please the wishes of his father and godfather Sivan. What comes later is a sequence of riots with complete police and politic support, given Sakthi's profession and ministerial influence to the ever so affluent family. But as reality of loss and suffering of the masses strikes Sakthi, everything goes haywire, turning the inseparable Sivan-Sakthi force against one another. Is justice served? With a dab of romance in the form of Shanthi and some fun with the cop-turned-childhood buddy Gopal, 'Jilla' serves the answers in a swift screenplay, pleasing fans of all the stars involved.

The screen opens with a massive opening for Mohanlal who plays the convincing godfather. He may be a bad guy, pretty self centred, but Sivan is portrayed as someone simple who sticks to his legacy to guard his power which in turn protects him. On the other hand, Sakthi enters the screen as a kid who grows up into the stunning, charming Vijay. Vijay-Mohanlal rapport takes the limelight all through the film, as they expressively fight sentiments juxtaposed with justice. Predominantly in action, the two have effectively used up screen space in keeping us well entertained in fight sequences. Vijay introduction sequence and the one on the highways, apart from the climax sequence, are truly classic! Kudos to Silva here to have come up with realistic choreography which is gripping and not cliched. Another factor that highlights these moments is the racy music. If you are already in love with the 'Jilla Theme', hold your breath for the tune in a number of modulations and paces, that accentuate every tense scene.

On the masala front, there's romance, comedy and fun. Kajal appears in a saree in the first scene, along with Vidyullekha. As is already known, Kajal plays a cop - sub inspector Shanthi - in the film. After their 'Thupakki' outing, Vijay and Kajal share a healthy rapport and a sweet romantic yet clean relationship. Soori as police officer Gopal stands out for his timely one liners all through the movie, which lighten the mood to a great extent. Vijay himself throws in some comic performances in his very own style. But Sakthi hates cops as a rule; then how is it that he befriends Gopal and falls for Shanthi? Watch the movie for thorough entertainment and to find out the answers!

Vijay's siblings on screen are played by Mahat (Vignesh) and Nivedha Thomas (Mahalakshmi). The film is rich in sentiments in both the halves in equal amounts. The first half shows a clear picture of a loving and benevolent family that celebrates the beloved eldest son. Mahat and Nivedha form a part of this happy family, but present themselves actively on screen only in the second half. The scenes where the little sister and brother express their love for their big bro, who in turn puts in his all to protect them are touching, and so are the scenes involving the highly understanding mother. Ganesh Rajavelu has canned not only the tough action sequence with passion, but has also recorded all the expressions with care, establishing an emotional bridge between the audience and the story. The blast scene, in particular, is truly moving.

Be it the romantic duet or the edgy fight, Don Max has put them all in place in sheer perfection that is appealing. However, there are a few let downs too, in the movie. The much awaited and anticipated title song has been cut in half, letting the majesty of the stars dancing, stalwarts singing and the cheerful gang dancing in the vibrant set, fade away too quickly. Graphics are a plain disappointment; from the simple straightforward scenes and chase sequences to the blatant cover up all through the thumping beats of 'Jingnamani' song, computer graphics are misplaced in most super impositions. Towards the end of the first half, when we get the hang of the story, there is a deliberate lag hanging heavy between dialogues and gestures. But given the quality entertainment, the other side of the coin does not deter the healthy story. And if you thought the story is predictable, then you are absolutely wrong, for the story takes unimaginable turns and twists on a surprising trip of hair-raising experience.

Imman's music is truly a class apart. In many instances, it is the same tune that has been adapted over and over again. But you've got to give it to Imman, to explore and innovate the same tune so thoroughly, that it gives you goosebumps every time it is played. Tunes have been used wisely, letting the weight of the story hang heavily, at places, on purpose. There's not a moment of dullness in Imman's support. And with a story so new and racy, Nesan has established himself in all grandeur, this Pongal.

Comedy, action, sentiment, emotion... you name it, the story has it. 'Jilla' keeps you entertained all through its long run time. Given the duration of the movie, 'Jilla' is so racy and entertaining that three hours don't seem that long. The film is one of those rare masala movies that has a specific importance assigned to each of the scenes. In effect, there's practically nothing in the movie that is out of place, even by chance. Delivered in a thoroughly entertaining package, 'Jilla' is a perfect Pongal entertainer, for audience of all kinds.

Rating: 3.25

Aalwar and Aadhi :razz:

[rsubras]

GS Sir, unga kurumbu :)........ but athil oru pizhai ullathu, Aalwar (flop) came with Pokkiri (super hit)........ it is Aadhi and Paramasivan........ Aadhi was a super flop while paramasivan was average i suppose...mostly bcoz the other movie was so bad...and some sympathy factor for Ajith (he was so skinny in that movie and that nan kadavul episode)

[Dinesh84]

Aalwar and Aadhi :razz: :lol:

[Mr.GreyShirt]

Ah my bad :-P Yea, Aadhi wasn't great.

[uruzalari]

Overall a decent masala flick. One noticeable aspect is despite the dose of heroism Vijay seems to have given up on punch dialogues. So few of them in the film. Liked the first half more on first viewing.....second did not find anything to complain (but the pre interval sequence raises the first half few notches higher with high anticipation in the interval) ...... sorely disappointed with how Jingunamani shaped up on screen

Guys have fun, it totally Vijay's show, awesome awesome awesome.........only killer is the length last 20 mins was dragging but the climax makes you forget that......have fun.........Jilla vs Veeram-la ennaku theriyathu but as a vijay fan its Jilla pongal for me.........:)

Song choreography could have been better. And yes, being vijay movie we expect so much.

Yeah but verasa pogayele was one of the best choreographed vijay songs

Jilla trailer crosses 1 million mark, 1,091,917 views so far - like a bozzzz.

Watched. Sureshot hit. Dont expect an ARM style entertainer. Expect a Perarasu style entertainer and you will enjoy it.

The film works mainly due to Mohanlal and Vijay combo. Jilla is masala entertainment and a full course meal that leaves you with a smile on your face. A perfect outing with your family this festival season.

Verdict – Mass Masala Entertainer

Verdict: A commercial potboiler for the festive season made alive by Vijay and Mohanlal
