Despite today being a Thursday, Rajinikanth's film Jailer reported a 71.41% occupancy on Tamil screens in the morning shows. Mostly films see 15-25% occupancy. IMDb Rating - 7.9/10 Film synopsis Jailer opens with a group of people involved in idol smuggling, with its main leader as Varma (Vinayakan). Arjun (Vasanth Ravi) is an honest police officer who wants to track the idol smuggling network and bust them. However, Arjun gets kidnapped by Varma, and everyone in the police department fears that he is dead. His father, Muthuvel Pandian (Rajinikanth), an ex-police officer himself, is distraught. 
Audience Reviews about Jailer : Appu Arjun - The film started a bit slow for the first few minutes, but it gradually picked up momentum during Shivanna's entry. The dark comedy elements worked effectively from that point onward. While the first half had its strengths, there was room for improvement to make it even better. The performances of Ramyakrishnan, Ruthkvith, and Rajinikanth played a significant role in enhancing the movie.
Nelson's direction in this film is notably a step-up compared to his previous work. The interval block was truly stunning, and the beginning of the second half was intense, with Rajinikanth's classic style complemented by Anirudh's impactful background music. The incorporation of dark comedies was well-executed, although there were moments when the film experienced slight pacing issues. However, the movie reached new heights with Mohanlal's entry, creating a literal high point. Some unnecessary gunshots could have been omitted to enhance the overall experience.
The climax was exceptionally impactful, as the combination of the formidable trio - Almighty Shivanna, Mohanlal, and Thalaiver - evoked intense goosebumps. The unexpected dramatic climax added another layer to the story. Considering all these elements, I would rate the movie 4 out of 5
Especially after a series of flops like "Darbar" and "Annaatthe," "Jailer" is poised to become a blockbuster treat.

Sri Sel - Jailer delivers an exceptional blend of action and dark comedy, captivating viewers from beginning to end. Rajinikanth shines as the unrivaled superstar, infusing the film with his charismatic performance that adds a delightful allure. Nelson's direction masterfully strikes a balance between intense action sequences and moments of levity, creating a compelling cinematic experience. Anirudh's musical score elegantly complements the movie, amplifying its overall impact. The first half gracefully sets its pace, akin to the engaging vibes of "Kolamavu Kokila" and "Doctor," incorporating a plethora of mass elements. The interval scene packs an exhilarating punch, leaving you eagerly anticipating the second half. The latter unfolds with a skillfully executed heist, while the pre-climax and post-climax segments hit all the right notes. Thalaivar makes a triumphant return, and Nelson's directorial prowess shines through. The supporting cast delivers commendable performances, and well-placed cameos by Shivaraj Kumar and Mohanlal enhance the experience. Vinayagan impresses as the antagonist, delivering a routine yet effective performance. In essence, "Jailer" is a must-watch for devoted Thalaivar fans and offers an engaging watch for a wider audience. The film received mostly positive response from reviewers, trade analysts and the public on Twitter. Rajinikanth is truly back and how! Whenever Thalaivar scores a hit, it almost feels personal. After ‘Annatthe’, which received unfavorable reviews, it has been quite a while since Rajinikanth delivered a solid entertainer. And for Nelson Dilipkumar, who is coming back from Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘Beast’, getting ‘Jailer’ right was much-needed. And he did a great job!
