Jilla Rocks
2 March 2014 | by (India) – See all my reviews

As a self-confessed Vijay fan, It was Jilla Pongal all the way for me. And it didn't disappoint. Vijay Anna does everything effortlessly. Hes very casual and relaxed in this film and has surprisingly sung a melody too. Going crazy over "kandangi" wasn't new, because it was already a hit . But seeing the duet was cute. There's something mellifluous about the flute and it hit all the rite notes. Kajal was merry and makes a good pair for Anna. Although I didn't like her in the police uniform. But her comic scenes with Anna and Suri are superb.

The back slapping is very cheeky and naughty and no, I certainly didn't fidget,in my seat. Choreography was interesting, fights were electric and that gas cylinder blast was a real explosion. I was not fascinated by their graphics although. Neat story and Mohanlal and Anna carry it effortlessly with time-tested histrionics. 10 stars for the director for giving an Easy and Eclectic Pongal Treat
