Jawan (2023)
5/10
Jawan for north indians, buddhah for south indians
15 September 2023
Azad(srk) is a jailer of woman's cell. He gathers a group of women prisoners and does several vigilante works mainly targeting weapons dealer kaalee(vijay sethupathi) and names himself vikram rathore. Special officer Narmada (nayanthara) is assigned to catch azad. Meanwhile azad's marriage is fixed with narmada itself who is a single mother.

On their wedding night, kaalee's brother attack and kidnap azad and narmada. While they are being tortured, the real vikram rathore (srk) saves azad and kill kaalee's brother. Who is vikram rathore and how is azad related to him is the rest of the movie.

Before watching the movie itself, i kept in my mind that the film would be extremely predictable and a mixture of various films. Atlee this time instead of copying other films copied his own films. But the problem is unlike atlee's previous films, jawan fails to pack an emotional punch. Only the aarariraro song evokes some emotions. Vijay sethupathi is wasted as the villain. Unlike mahendran in theri and sj suryah in mersal, vijay sethupathi's performance fails to evoke any hatred towards him. First half provided some decent entertainment but second half fails to emotionally connect us and gets very lengthy. Sanjay dutt's cameo doesn't make much impact.

On the whole, watching jawan gives you a feeling of a vijay film. But the hero is srk. Looks like atlee wanted to make this film with vijay, but since vijay was not available he went to srk. Atlee thought that north indians would not have seen his films so he mixed all his previous films into this one.
