Watched it and loved it
In terms of fan response and festivity, my best viewing experience for any movie. Watched it in Udhayam 11:15 show this morning and boy it was some atmosphere.
Witnessed the Box carried in a chariot, the band, the milk sprayers, crackers....Whoa a first of the kind experience for me. Terrific.
Jilla's producer RB Choudary Sir came along with the PRO Selvakumar and conducted pooja on the Box before it was screened.
The movie opened to a raucous response and the carnival continued right through till the end of the movie. Unforgettable experience.
Overall, liked the movie which was MASS, just MASS. Naeson has delivered a MASS entertainer for Vijay and the screenplay had enough moments to celebrate.
Vijay, his body language and dialogue delivery were sheer delights and Mohan Lal's inclusion and presence gave a whole new dimension to the movie. Great casting. Kudos to Naeson.
The first half was a cocktail of great intro for both Mohanlal and Vijay, 3 decent songs, a couple of fights and humor to set things up for probably the biggest (in terms of mass appeal) pre-interval sequence for any Vijay movie. The pre-interval scene was a cracker and again was stupendously received in the theater.
The 2nd half had 2 to 3 hair-raising moments too but by and large gave an impression that it was lengthy.
Overall, the movie was a cracker. I would say, in comparison with all of Vijay's commercial movies, it is as good as Pokiri. I say this because it is much better than the likes of Tirupacchi, Velayudham, Sivakasi, Vettaikaran and the likes. Ghilli and Thuppakki are just peaks that cannot be scaled easily.
Right from the day the movie was announced, everyone of us knew it was a commercial script. We all were happy that Vijay is returning to his comfort zone after a long time. When i read a few reviews about how 'there is nothing new in the movie' or how it is a 'mass overload', i was like "come on, we knew it right from the beginning didn't we?"
Naeson, as Ajay says has exceeded expectations and has delivered a good movie watchable by neutral/family audiences as well. Job Well Done!
Let's celebrate this mass avatar of our Mass Master. He is the best in it and he proves it yet again.
By this time next month, Vijay would be busy with the ARM project. At 39, he looks super-fit to go on for another 10-15 years. Lots to look forward to. He looks in great shape.
Enjoy the moment in theaters, it is serious fun. I will be watching it again tomorrow in Abirami.
Overall, a wait worth every penny. Vijay and Jilla Rocks!
