'JIL JUNG JUK' - Undoubtedly 'JIL'

From the day the movie 'Jil Jung Juk" was announced, the movie had managed the audiences to turn their head and look out for what's next from the team and they had lived up to the expectations with the release of 'Shoot the Kuruvi' and 'Domer'u Lord'u' and so on.

And the movie is here finally and been trimmed as per audience feedback after couple of days after its release. So lets see whether the movie has lived up to the expectation that it had raised..


Jil Jung Juk is one of the better comedies to come out this year.
It belongs to one of the toughest genres to pull off, comedy of errors, but the team has nailed it with so much grace and ease. Hats off to Deeraj Vaidy for bringing in such a script and given a Guy Ritchie kinda film for the tamil audiences.

What JJJ is all about :

The movie is all about the adventures of JIL (Nan'JIL' Sivaji played by Siddharth), JUNG ('JUNG'ulingam played by Avinash) and JUK (Jaguar 'JAG'an played by Sananth) with a pink car (which was heavily publisized in the promos) which is painted with cocaine and the problems that are tagged with that car, which is supposed to be delievered to the chinese and the entire plot and its happenings are timelined in the year 2020.


What works in favour of JJJ/J3 :

The movie is more or less, a fantasy story set in the post apocalyptic era. The team, succeeds in bringing that feel, as it has the pressure of showcasing the happenings in a futuristic as well as in an apocalyptic manner.. Shreyaas Krishna deserves a doggie pat for his brilliant work in JJJ.. The lighting and the ingenious camera angles make this fantasy even more believable and that is one of the biggest strengths of the movie.

This is followed by the next biggest asset of the film, the humour content. And one has to say that the movie has sailed through safely to the finish line as the humour quotient has clicked well.

Apart from that, the other highlights include, the unique characterization, the dark humour, the interval block, Uganda sequence, Hara Hara Mahadevaki voice over, Radharavi's character as Rolex Rawther, and the petrol bunk sequence are the other feathers in the Jil Jung Juk's hat.

What works against it :

Being a movie lover, this movie is flawless for its different attempt, but yea, when you look from the shoes of the masses, the length of the 2nd half (even after the trimming) does play a speed-breaker in a beautiful highway drive.. Thats the only minus, which is matched with the overall movie watching experience.

Verdict : 

Overall, 'JIL JUNG JUK" is the kind of movie, you can enjoy, if you are aware of what you are getting into. Kudos to Siddarth,Etaki Entertainments (His home production banner) and Deeraj Vaidy for giving us a such a quirky and a differrent movie.


JIL JUNG JUK, undoubtedly belongs to the first category JIL...
