Jilla Tamil Movie Review and Box Office Collection Report

               Jilla is a mass masala tamil movie which brings in a rare combination of Illayathalapathy Vijay with Mohanlal.

REVIEW :

             Director Neason has made Jilla with the essential mass masala factors like actions, songs and comedy. Every bit of worldly logic must be neglected while watching this movie. The movie lacks substance and deserves better trimming as well as direction. But Jilla is what every Vijay and Mohanlal fan was wishing for.

Performance -

Vijay has returned to his mass masala entertaining image with all sort of thrilling action and good comedy scenes. Vijay looks very young and pleases his fans very well. Mohanlal has made such an outstanding performance as Shiva. The best part of the movie is the combination scenes of Vijay and Mohanlal. The introduction scenes are shot fabulously which will give you goosebumps. Kajal Agarwal should try a better make up artist since All in All Azhagu Raja.

Technical Aspects -

BGM is terrific and appropriate for such an entertainer. Songs by D Imman is very impressive. Kandaangi Kandaangi and Paatu Onnu is the best among them.
Cinematography by Ganesh Rajavelu is good. Choreography work done by Rajusundaram is excellent.
Don Max has done the editing of the movie and the movie deserves better trimming. Around 15-20 minutes should be edited out.
Action sequences by Selva is breathtaking but some being too lengthy too.

Story, Screenplay and Direction -

Since Jilla is an entertainer, the story is not given much importance to but the movie has certain unexpected plot twists. Movie brings in sentimental scenes along with the commercial elements. Direction by Neason is hardly average as he dissappoionted as a director. But thanks to Neason for the the packaging a mass entertainer with Vijay and Mohanlal together.
