Atlee’s Jawan redefines commercial filmaking with an exhilarating cinematic experience , setting stage for SRK’s dominance in 2023
My Rating : :star::star::star::star: (83/100)
Jawan despite following the tropes of conventional commercial cinema, establishes itself as perfect example of perfect entertainer with a subtle yet relevant message. Tamil filmakers have aced the mass movies in thr past and Atlee doesn't shy away from it, he just delivered SRK his best mass appealing film which caters to all true Indian Cinema fans. Backed by a resonating storyline, fantastic action set pieces, scorching score by Anirudh , vicious Vijay Sethupathi as the antagonist and a magnetic SRK in the lead , Jawan delivers what it promised. The few inconsistencies in form usual fast forwarding of sub plots is easily forgettable, when you see SRK landing those heavy punches and dialogues. Thr supporting cast also provide great aid to make Jawan a true winner at cinemas. With no competition, this is going to become SRK's next entry to 1000 cr club.
The mass moments are brilliantly elevated by that scillntilating score by Anirudh. Atlee has a tendency to bring in the best interval blocks in his filmography and he doesn't disappoint. Jawan has massiest interval block in the history of Bollywood. The only gripe I had watching the film is it fails to expand on the hurdles of other female members in their past and at many places the emotions flow on a surface level (sub plot fast forwarding) . Well someone cant package everything in film of 169 minutes and I wont criticise Atlee for it. Priyamani and Sanya has a few important dialogues but stayed in background for the most part of it. Vijay Sethupathi is a show stealer with his versatility and his antiques. His hindi is delightful.
Overall, Jawan is a true family entertainer with many subtle plot twists, action , emotions and light humour. SRK as the leading man needs no marketing and Atlee solidifies his place as the mass commercial specialist. Go and celebrate Indian Cinema in theatres. I meant Bharatiya Cinema :hearts:

This is one of the worst movies in the past 10 years. Vijay needs to badly change his age old formula. Everyone who made this movie has to get in touch with 2016. The movie is horrible.
Not sure how this movie roped in major actors. Cringy and nonsensical first 2 hours. Movie was watchable in the last 30 mins. 3/10
Down right bad.
Its the classic tamil mass hero movie story telling. There is no one story and the movie just goes on for the first 50 mins. Very bad writing. Scenes are just planted for Vijay to look like a better person. Airport scene is dumb. Fight scene in coffee shop is terrible.
Too many event driven plot is bad writing.
Just good as the story is. Nothing really special or surprising. With this background, story and context you must be too bad to make it wrong.
Armies back
horrible. like watching a pretentious pop video in slow motion.
big fan of marky mark he really comes through in this it's a great movie i def recommend it. bought the bluray the other day.
I was impressed for a 3rd installment it was really good & the 3D was awesome!!
I was surprised to see 3 actors from The Walking Dead in it.
Also don't forget to read the book if you haven't, it has such a sombre ending!
I give up on super hero movies without Christian Bale as the hero
In the next instalment.... John Mcclanes dog joins the S.A.S
