Jana Nayagan is the last film of Thalapathy Vijay, one of the greatest superstars of not just Tamil but also Indian cinema, and now the Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. In terms of story, it offers nothing new. The villain's backstory is silly and the scene involving some kind of robots is laughable. On the positive side, the 183-minute-long film doesn’t bore even for a second. The mass-appealing scenes are exhilarating. Moreover, it touches upon corruption in politics, patriotism, a character on a hunger strike and the government using unfair means to cause trouble. Hence, it’s a very relevant film. Sadly, the film got leaked but it doesn’t seem to have had much of an impact looking at the craze. In fact, a few dialogues, celebrating Vijay, work even better since he won the elections. Performance-wise, he’s electrifying to say the least and it's sad that this is his last film. Mamitha Baiju has a crucial role and delivers an impactful performance. The beautiful Pooja Hegde lends able support. Bobby Deol is superb as the antagonist, even though the writing lets him down. Prakash Raj goes back to his Singham and Wanted avatar and is impressive. Gautham Vasudev Menon (Viji's father), Priyamani, Revathy (Thalapathy’s mother), Nassar (Arivudai Nambi; CM), Sunil (Velu; corrupt cop) and the actor playing Porkodi deliver memorable performances. All in all, Jana Nayagan is a timepass mass-appealing flick and a must for Vijay’s fans and admirers. A star of the masses who'll always be remembered for generating historic craze in theatres and of course, for his envious track record.

My rating - *** ½ out of 5!
