Jailer quick take: 'Rajinikanth film is paisa vasool'

Sreedhar Pillai shared a long tweet that read, "#Jailer Review : Paisa Vasool #Thalaivar walks in 15 minutes into the film as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian and just takes over, oozing with charisma & style. Interval block transformation & climax scene he excels. After a long time in a @rajinikanth film the villain character is very strong & #Vinayakan is deadly & devastating. @iamvasanthravi in the son’s role does a neat job. @mohanlal, #Shivarajkumar & #JackieShroff makes courtesy cameo appearances. @Nelsondilpkumar packages it without tinkering with the superstar’s template image & Rajini references . The family scenes buying veggies, running a YouTube channel with his grandson is fun. But flashback scenes are predictable,there is some lag in 2nd half, comedy falls flat and violence is a bit too much. @anirudhofficial is the heart beat of #Jailer, his bgm is in sync with the superstar swag and #Hukum is addictive! On the whole #Jailer is an out and out #Rajinikanth mass entertainer! My Rating: 3.25/5."

Rajinikanth on Jailer music director Anirudh Ravichander

Rajinikanth heaped praise on Anirudh Ravichander at the audio launch of Jailer. He said, “Ilaiyaraaja is known for setting up a scene brilliantly. He himself will tell you how to do a scene. AR Rahman, on the other hand, is brilliant with instrumentation. I see both of them in Ani (Anirudh Ravichander). What I like about Ani is that he wants the film to win more than his music. His father and mother should be proud of giving this world such a talent."

“He made me do one take 8 to 9 times. It was in front of Ramya Krishnan for one particular expression. Even Ramya got a bit awkward as I was doing it again and again.
