Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

ethical_egoist Occasionally, we come across a movie that defies logic, comprehension, sanity and intestinal digestion. Jilla is one of those films. My brain cells ended up writing down the following in a piece of paper to pass on to the future generations before committing a mass ritualistic seppukku : 1) Jilla makes it possible to rig the civil services examinations and enlist individuals with a criminal record and no education whatsoever. Local MLA and lead goon acting together can dictate who makes it to the IPS grade. There is no interview required after clearing the exam (or if there was, they were all bribed). There is no training requirement to become an assistant commissioner after passing the exam 2) An assistant commissioner immediately gets control over the entire city including all of its police force and can dictate random arrests without a warrant. 3) Promotions are based on publicity and it is possible to move from ACP to DCP in 2 months. 4) Unable to save child falling from a burning building cliché 5) Love interest works in the profession religiously hated by the hero cliché 6) Hero becomes randomly good after a one off freak incident cliché 7) Sister marries the enemy who attempts at revenge cliché 8) Hero saves kids and sick people in a hospital after police incompetence clichéYes it's a stereotype Vijay film, yes its awful beyond reason, yes its filled with clichés and Tamil sentiments but look at the positive side....at least it did not have Vijay acting in a double role (sorry can't think of any other positives to take away from this film). I've historically sat through the full running time of some ludicrous movies (including ...and mostly a lot of Vijay's own) but even I couldn't bear watching the last 30 mins.Having watched this in a day long inter continental travel - I wanted to complain to Lufthansa about this movie ... but they were all already zombies with dead brain cells...

Prem Nivas 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

laksh-sak As a self-confessed Vijay fan, It was Jilla Pongal all the way for me. And it didn't disappoint. Vijay Anna does everything effortlessly. Hes very casual and relaxed in this film and has surprisingly sung a melody too. Going crazy over "kandangi" wasn't new, because it was already a hit . But seeing the duet was cute. There's something mellifluous about the flute and it hit all the rite notes. Kajal was merry and makes a good pair for Anna. Although I didn't like her in the police uniform. But her comic scenes with Anna and Suri are superb.The back slapping is very cheeky and naughty and no, I certainly didn't fidget,in my seat. Choreography was interesting, fights were electric and that gas cylinder blast was a real explosion. I was not fascinated by their graphics although. Neat story and Mohanlal and Anna carry it effortlessly with time-tested histrionics. 10 stars for the director for giving an Easy and Eclectic Pongal Treat

Pradeep Kumaar Finally saw Jilla. Tailor made for South audiences. Neat masala film, that utilizes the "family" factor very well. Best part is, Vijay looks like some collegian and dances, emotes, romances, fights, and wat not, as if he was 20 yrs old ! Story is the regular fight in families, but the difference lies in pitching an illegal father with a legal son, in the most saleable format . And Kajal was cute. Wish she had more screen presence. But I certainly don't mind the back-lashing chemistry. CHUCKLE…Songs and fights, although regular were foot-tapping. And i frankly enjoyed the quietened mother sentiment. I would say, Formula film with all formulae breaking on its own terms.
