Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Sathesh S The first thing that anyone can say after watching the movie is that its a new genre of movie.Its a story of an aspiring director who attempts making a action movie on a don's life, decides to follow such a living rowdy and in the attempt gets caught by the group. Till this point the movie is paced with good action, seriousness and leaves the audience in suspense for the interval.After the interval, the movie has dynamic change in the direction of the story where in the gangster (Assault Sethu) himselves gets interested in the movie on his life and gives all the detail that the director wanted. But what happens after that is completely what you will never expect. The humour has worked out in an extra ordinary way that your hands might pain clapping and ur stomach might pain laughing.The notable performance by Simhaa (Sethu) is added advantage in the movie. The characterization is so powerful that even after seeing him as a comedian in previous movies, you wouldn't feel it anywhere in the first half.I can certainly say the movie has all the gripping elements to make the audience to be involved with the script from few mins from beginning till the end. The movie has achieved what was intended and defines to the meaning of the title (Hot-Cool) (First half-Second Half), But you cannot make a clear choice whether it was a complete movie in spite of the efforts put in the climax to justify it. And the most powerfully introduced character gives all the details of his murders as a recording which also adds to contradictory facts.
Austin Benjamin The reason I watched this movie is for my favorite Bobby Simha and Karthick Subbaaraj. I stunned with the performance of Simha, he is really amazing and awesome. I am dare to say Simha is going to be finest actor in Indian cinema if he is continue to do the different character as he did so far. Even I am dare to suggest tamil old actors like Rajini, Kamal, Ajith, Vijay to learn what is real acting from Simha. Simha is really great great. Am damn sure he is one of the best actor in Indian cinema. Particularly I am mesmerized when he change over his acting from don to normal man and normal man to don, especially when he ask Siddarth with knife in his hand, "pakathula vandhavudanae bayam poiduchaa", this performance is epic. And another grooving performance is, when Simha receives credits from the child of Soundhar, Simha's eyes itself conveyed the movie climax, thats why director orchestrate all the dialogue in gibberish in the climax, only few actors can do that performance and only good movie lovers can understand what Simha is expressing. Apart from performance all credits goes to director. After Pizza the expectation was much higher on Jigarthanda. But after Jigarthanda what Karthick is going to do. lets wait and watch. Hope Kartick will come with another surprise in his next movie. But am damn sure, Karthick himself can not make flick like this again, it is a once in a life time script. I admire Karthick more than Bala, Manirathnam. Because Karthick is more intellectual director than them. And last credits goes to composer Santhosh and cinemotographer gavemic u ary. Hats off to them. Great work.
vijay230482 Nowadays Tamil cinema going to poor condition. All are copying other languages films. JIGARTHANDA also following the same way. This s not a fare for pure Filmakkers. It will spoil all other young talents in future. The original movie of JIGARTHANDA is A DIRTY OF CARNIVAL, ROUGH CUT. First ten minutes of first half, and total second half is worst presentation. Making of the movie is good. But the script is worst and cop. So kindly requesting the young filmmakers don't do the copy. Think little at least. Because so many young talents waiting with there original scripts.
Balaji Sathya Moorthy Film is very highly entertaining Brilliant movie.. I had an awesome time with this non-stop fun, especially Sim expressions were simply awesome.It is one of a top Tamil movie from the year 2014. kudos to the team.. The whole crew of Actors, Director, and Writers has done a commendable job. I would urge all those who like to watch good cinema to watch Jigarthanda. Kill and Laugh ...is the best punishment of this decade.One of the best Tamil movie ever DOT.People haven't enjoyed a very long time go and watch this is in theater.It's a comedy thriller and will leave you with the satisfaction of having watched a good film
