Jailer Review
Jailer casts Rajinikanth as a retired prison officer pulled back into action after his son’s investigation into an idol-smuggling ring goes catastrophically wrong. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the film leans hard into nostalgia, action comedy, and multi-industry star cameos from Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar. This review covers Rajinikanth’s magnetic screen presence, Anirudh Ravichander’s viral soundtrack including Kaavaalaa, the film’s tonal shift between its stronger first half and more formulaic second half, and how it plays as a full-circle celebration of the superstar’s legacy. We also discuss the film’s massive box office run and cultural moment. Read our complete spoiler-free review of story, performances, and direction, along with our final rating and verdict.
