Story

Muthuvel Pandian, known as Muthu (Rajinikanth), has retired from his role as a prison warden and now leads a modest life with his family. Among them, Muthu's son Arjun (Vasanth Ravi) serves as an earnest police officer. Arjun finds himself in a confrontation with Varma (Vinakayan), a trafficker of ancient artifacts and religious idols. The situation takes a somber turn when Arjun mysteriously vanishes, sending shockwaves through the police force.

As the mystery surrounding Arjun's disappearance deepens, Muthu uncovers the distressing truth that his son has been murdered. Driven by grief and a thirst for justice, Muthu embarks on a relentless mission of retribution. In the course of his vendetta, Muthu stumbles upon a startling revelation that reshapes his trajectory. This unforeseen revelation holds the key to a profound change in Muthu's path.

The heart of the narrative revolves around this pivotal revelation as Muthu navigates the new truths he uncovers. How he confronts this revelation and steers his course forward forms the core of the story.

Critic Reviews

123 Telugu

Caption: Partially engaging action drama

Verdict:

On the whole, Jailer is a partially engaging action drama that relies majorly on the performance and style of Rajinikanth. Superstar was stunning in his role, and the movie has a nice first half. But Jailer suffers from a wafer-thin plot, and the second half fell like a pack of cards. Hence Jailer ends up being just an okay watch, and it is suggested to keep your expectations in check.

Rating: 2.75/5


Times of India

Synopsis: A retired jailer Muthuvel Pandiyan (Rajinikanth) goes on a manhunt to find his son’s (Vasanth Ravi) killers. But the road leads him to a familiar, albeit a bit darker place. Can Muthuvel emerge from this complex situation successfully?

Rating: 3/5


Great Andhra

Caption: Solid Start, Regular End

In summary, "Jailer" starts strong but concludes with an unpredictable climax. It presents a regular action drama with an impressive beginning and a lack of impact in the second half but a hitting end.

Bottom line: Star-studded One-Man Show

Rating: 2.75/5


Telugu Bulletin

Caption: Rajini Shines But Director Fails Partly

Verdict: Jailer has its own share of bright moments and also dull blocks. But as a whole it is an avg watch for Rajini and other top cast. Nelson has wasted an golden oppurtunity by not concentrating on 2nd half.

Rating: 2.5/5


Telugu 360

Verdict:

Jailer is a commercial entertainer. After a high first half, the second one slows down a bit. Nelson’s comedy worked well in the first and a bit farcical in the 2nd. Rajinikanth is a strength and saving grace. He is back in his elements throughout the film. Superstars Mohanlal and Sivaraj Kumar’s cameo is a bonus. Anirudh’s BGM is another strength. Go and Watch it.

Rating : 3/5
