Plot

Muthuvel Pandian is a retired police officer who lives in Kodambakkam with his family consisting of his wife, Vijaya "Viji", son, ACP Arjun, daughter-in-law, Swetha, and grandson, Rithvik. Arjun is investigating the Malayali gangster, Varman, who smuggles idols of gods and sells them to buyers overseas. He confronts Varman's henchman Seenu and demands him about the whereabouts of Varman. As Arjun gets closer to nabbing Varman, he suddenly goes missing and the police department spreads word that he may have committed suicide to cover up that he was probably killed by Varman. Grieving the loss of his son and partly blaming himself for raising him to be honest and fearless, Muthuvel goes after Seenu and murders him, disposing of the body with the help of Vimal, a local taxi driver.

Varman’s men make an attempt on Rithvik’s life despite Muthuvel convincing Varman to leave him and his family alone. Enraged, Muthuvel decides to fight back and visits Narasimha, a reformed criminal who loans him four of his sharpshooters. With the help of Narasimha’s men, Muthuvel blackmails and humiliates Varman, who has the Bihari gangster, Kamdev, send people to kill Muthuvel and his family at his home, only for them to be gunned down. After discovering Varman's target to be Muthuvel, Kamdev reveals to him that he was once the ruthless and charismatic jailer of Tihar prison, who disciplined the criminals harshly, but also helped them reform, gaining a massive network of allies, including Kamdev. Muthuvel corners Varman in his hideout, but Varman reveals that Arjun is still alive and threatens to kill him. Varman and Muthuvel arrive at a compromise: Varman will release Arjun in return for a famous antique crown that is currently secure in a temple in Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh.

Muthuvel plans a heist involving the Telugu actors, Blast Mohan, who is a trustee of the temple where the crown is held, and Kamna, who Mohan lusts after and wants to marry. Despite various deceptions and with the help of a smuggler in Mumbai, Mathew, Muthuvel eventually comes into possession of the crown and sends it back to Varman, but it is revealed that the crown Muthuvel sent was a fake. Varman frees Arjun, who later reveals himself as a dirty cop and also wants to be cut in on Varman's operations, willing to kill his own father for money. However, the fake crown also conceals a hidden camera and their entire conversation is recorded and seen by Muthuvel. Muthuvel attacks Varman's hideout with Kamdev, Vimal and his allies, killing Varman and his men, while Narasimha protects Muthuvel's family and Mathew destroys Varman’s smuggling operations. Muthuvel gives Arjun one last chance to surrender, but Arjun refuses and attempts to kill him. However, he is instead shot and killed by Narasimha's men, while Muthuvel solemnly walks away.

Development

In December 2021, Nelson was reported to direct Rajinikanth's 169th film as the lead role after finishing his commitments to Beast (2022).[8] On 10 February 2022, Sun Pictures officially announced their next film starring Rajinikanth and to be directed by Nelson. As Rajinikanth's 169th film, it was tentatively titled Thalaivar 169.[9][10] The title Jailer was announced on 17 June 2022, with the posters revealing Nelson as the sole writer, dismissing earlier reports that K. S. Ravikumar would be writing the screenplay from a story written by Rajinikanth. Nelson retained his crew from Doctor (2021) and Beast, with cinematography by Vijay Kartik Kannan and editing done by R. Nirmal.[11][12] This also marks the first collaboration of Nelson with Rajinikanth.[13]

Casting

In April 2022, Ramya Krishnan was reported to play a role in the film.[14] In May, there were reports suggesting that Kannada actor Shiva Rajkumar would be seen in a pivotal role.[15] That speculation was confirmed the following month. It marks Shiva Rajkumar's debut in Tamil cinema.[16] In early August, Vasanth Ravi was confirmed to be part of the film.[17] Shortly thereafter, on 10 August, Ramya Krishnan confirmed her participation,[18] and on 23 August, Malayalam actor Vinayakan was confirmed.[19] According to Vinayakan, Mammootty was the original choice for his role.[20] In July 2022, there were reports suggesting that Yogi Babu would be a part of the film.[21] That speculation was confirmed on 24 August 2022 by Sun Pictures.[22] On 6 January 2023, it was announced that Mohanlal would be acting in the film in a cameo role.[23] Almost two weeks later, Sunil and Tamannaah Bhatia were announced as part of the cast for brief roles.[24][25] In February 2023, Jackie Shroff was announced to be a part of the film.[26]

Filming

Test shoots took place in late July 2022 in Chennai,[27][28] and principal photography was set to commence on 3 August in Hyderabad.[29] However, the start of filming was indefinitely delayed due to a strike in Hyderabad which was expected to last at least three weeks.[17] Filming ultimately began on 22 August in Chennai.[30] By October, filming was also taking place in Cuddalore.[31] In January 2023, a small filming schedule began in Jaisalmer.[32] The following month, filming began in Mangalore.[33][34] In March, the climax of the film was shot at Athirappilly Falls, Chalakudy in Kerala.[35][36] Principal photography was wrapped by 1 June 2023.[37]

Marketing

In July 2023, a YouTube video was released teasing[43] a Kaavaalaa lyrics video featuring Tamannaah Bhatia and Rajinikanth, which was later released on 6 July.[44][45] The hook step performed by Bhatia too went viral on social media.[46] The film's audio launch—which aims to promote the music—took place at Jawarhalal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai,[47] and later broadcast on Sun TV. On 2 August 2023, the film's trailer was released.[48]

Release

Jailer released theatrically on 10 August 2023.[49] The film's Kerala distribution rights have been bought by Gokulam Gopalan.[50] Andhra Pradesh and Telangana theatrical rights were bought by Asian Cinema, while the overseas rights were acquired by Ayngaran International.[51][52] The film will be released by MCC Group in Sri Lanka.[53]

Title dispute

In July 2023, director Sakkir Madathil claimed he registered the title Jailer first for his Malayalam film in the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) in 2021 and requested producer Kalanithi Maran to change the title of the film.[54] Later, the director took the issue to the court and filed a legal complaint against Sun Pictures over the same title.[55]

Jailer grossed an estimated 72 crore (US$8 million) on its opening day worldwide,[56] of which 52 crore crore was from India.[57] The opening day grosses were 23 crore in Tamil Nadu, 5.85 crore in Kerala, 10 crore in Telugu states, 11 crore in Karnataka, 4.5 crore in North India, 40 crore internationally.[58] The film grossed 400–543.96 crore worldwide.

Critical response

Jailer received positive reviews from audiences who praised its screenwriting, direction, cast performances (especially Rajinikanth, Vinayakan, Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar), characterisation and background score.[59]

Siby Jeyya of India Herald gave 4 out of 5 stars and said "The King has claimed his rightful throne back".[60] Sridevi S of The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "It’s director Nelson's show in the first half, superstar Rajini takes the baton in the second half."[61] Janaki K of India Today gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "With solid performances and good camera work, Jailer is strictly a theatre watch."[62] Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu wrote "Jailer might be far from perfect, but with the towering presence of Rajinikanth standing tall along with Nelson’s fortified writing, this is a commendable comeback for both the actor and filmmaker."[63] Kirubhakar Purushothaman of The Indian Express gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "[the] Nelson Dilipkumar film is Rajinikanth's version of Kamal Haasan's Vikram, but with a twist. Saying that doesn't take away anything from this fun-filled entertainer.[64]

Manoj Kumar of OTTPlay gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Jailer is a highly entertaining crowd-pleaser. Nothing path-breaking but it is sure to become an enjoyable delight for the masses."[65] Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Without Rajinikanth, Jailer might not have had the same magnetism as it does but since the star is on screen, flicking his shades and throwing lighters in the air, it’s a whole different story."[66] Priyanka Sundar of Firstpost gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "One of the most memorable things about Nelson’s directorial Jailer, starring Rajinikanth, is the fact that the superstar doesn’t get into a zone where he performs unbelievable action sequences".[67] 123Telugu gave 2.75 out of 5 stars and wrote "Jailer suffers from a wafer-thin plot and the second half fell like a pack of cards."[68] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "The guest stars do their bit and move on. It is left to Rajinikanth to shoulder the weight of the erratic script."[69]

Divya Nair of Rediff.com gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and stated that "This is an altogether different version of a brutal Rajinikanth, something you and I had probably never imagined before."[70] Shreya Kachroo of Zoom TV rated 3.5 out of 5 and noted that "Director Nelson adeptly balances Rajinikanth's charismatic presence with a captivating narrative in Jailer."[71] Sidharth MP of WION wrote that "Jailer is an entertaining film that offers glimpses of the vintage Rajini and the contemporary Rajini, ably assisted by cameos by Mohanlal, Jackie Shroff and Shiva Rajkumar."[72]

Future

Post-release, it was reported that the film would have a second part.[73] Owing to the film's success, Nelson in an interview confirmed the film would have sequel titled Jailer 2.[74]
