JIGIRTHANDA DOUBLE X
Maamadura
Energetic Choreography for an Energetic song.
Review
Jigarthanda that came in 2014 was an Entertainer. Jigarthanda Double X is beyond Entertainment. There was an added value to the Film. Creates Impact when you leave the cinema hall.
Shettani (Vidhu) is a Poacher who hunts elephants inside Kombai Forest. He is also a Dacoit. DSP Rathnakumar is appointed to nab Shettani. To find him DSP Rathnakumar (Naveen Chandra) tortures the Tribal people who are near the Kombai forest village. Tribal people are stuck between DSP Rathnakumar and Shettani. DSP Rathnakumar is brother of Jeyakodi.
Jeyakodi(Shine Tom Chacko) is an Actor and a Politician of ruling party who has aspirations to become Chief Minister. Karmegam(Ilavarasu) who belongs to the same party is a rival who stands as a hurdle to Jeyakodi's growth. Karmegam halts Film screenings of Jeyakodi at Coimbatore, Ramnad, Madurai and Tirunelveli districts through four Gangsters who support him. Incumbent Chief Minister has high regards for Karmegam than Jeyakodi. Distressed Jeyakodi requests Rathna to wipe out the Gangsters who are supporting Karmegam through a secret operation.
Kirubakaran is an intelligent but not a brave person.Kirubakaran(SJ Suryah) is selected for SI post. He goes to meet his girlfriend Lourde at a college where she studies to convey the news. When both of them are conversing, a group of students fight and quarrel with each other. Lourde asks Kirubarakaran to stop the fight wittingly. Kirubakaran says that he would stop them after wearing the uniform. Lourde leaves to the cultural event. Kirubakaran goes near those students who are quarelling and fighting. Suddenly, those students are murdered by an unknown gang. Being not so brave Kirubakaran gets fits looking at the murders. Seeing the condition of Kirubakaran one of the masked gangster leaves a sickle in Kirubakaran's hand. Gangsters leave the place. When Kirubakaran comes back to normal, he is surrounded by police assuming him to be murderer. Kirubakaran goes to prison.
DSP Rathnakumar goes through various files and selects 4 prisoners for the secret operation. He promises those 4 prisoners that he would free them from prison if they carry on the secret operation. One among them is Kirubakaran. Kirubakaran is selected to wipe out Alliyus Caesar (Lawrence) , a Gangster from Madurai.
Alliyus Caesar is insulted by Chinna (Aravind Akash) during a party. Chinna says that dark complexioned men cannot become Heroes in cinema. Alliyus Caesar challenges Chinna that he would become a Pan Indian star. He advertises about it in a News paper looking for a Director. Kirubakaran disguises himself as a Director and approaches Alliyus Caesar. He disguises himself as Ray Dasan, a Director who worked as an assistant to Director Sathyajit Ray. Ray Dasan approaches Alliyus Caesar and says that he would make an Oscar winning Gangster film saying that he would make a Biopic of Alliyus Caesar. Alliyus Caesar hands over a Super 8mm film camera to Ray Dasan saying that it was gifted by Clint Eastwood when he came to Madurai. Ray Dasan starts capturing the real life events of Alliyus Caesar through the Super 8mm film camera with an hidden intention of killing him. At somepoint of time, Alliyus Caesar says that he made an unknown man as a scapegoat when he visited a college to murder students. Kirubakaran understands that it was Alliyus Caesar who murdered the students at the college for which he was arrested.
Did Kirubakaran kill Alliyus Caesar? What happened to the movie that was taken by Ray Dasan? What happened to Shettani? Was he captured? Why Shettani is hunting elephants inside the forest? What happened to the Tribal people who lived near Kombai Forest village? Did Jeyakodi became the next chief minister? what happened to Jeyakodi's aspirations? What happened to the incumbent chief minister? What did Karmegam do in the end? What happened to DSP Rathnakumar? That's Jigarthanda Double X

A Masterpiece from Karthik Subbaraj!!!
Karthik Subbaraj has blended Art and Mass in Double X. What starts as a Gangster film ends on a revolution note. Jigarthanda Double X leaves an impact when you leave the cinema hall.
Career Best Performance of Lawrence!!! Lawrence Rocks the show!!!
Commendable Performance from SJ Surya!!! வழக்கமாக கத்தி பேசும் எஸ்.ஜே. சூர்யா இந்த படத்தில் அடக்கி வாசித்திருக்கிறார். கதாபாத்திரத்தின் தன்மைக்கேற்றவாறு நடித்திருக்கிறார்.
Naveen Chandra has performed well as a Baddie!!!
Chemistry between Lawrence and Nimisha Sajayan was natural.
Nimisha Sajayan, Sanchana Natarajan, Kapila venu, Vidhu, Ilavarasu, Shine Tom chacko,Sathyan,Bava Chelladurai and Sheela Rajkumar have done their roles well.
Plus:
- Karthik Subbaraj Screenplay is entertaining, engaging and thought provoking. All the characters have been effectively utilised in the screenplay. Usage of Tamil fonts that were popular during 1970's, reference of super 8mm camera and reference of Clint Eastwood were some of the Director's Touch of Karthik Subbaraj in Jigirthanda Double X. Reference of Clint Eastwood has been presented in a Mass way.
- Performance of Lawrence and SJ Surya.
- Background score of Santhosh Narayanan is one of the backbones of Double X
- Top notch cinematography by Tirru
- Stunts and Action sequences have been made well
- CG work is good.
Minus:
- Running time is Lengthy. Movie runs for 172 minutes and 26 seconds
- Double X is impactful. However it is not as Massy as Jigirthanda that came in 2014.
Overall, an Impactful Presentation from Karthik Subbaraj!!!
