Jailer 2

Cast: Rajinikanth, Vidya Balan, SJ Suryah, Mithun Chakraborty, Ramya Krishnan, Suraj Venjaramoodu

Director: Nelson Dilipkumar

Rating: ★★★

There was a time when Rajinikanth was an actor. That time is long gone. He is a star today, defined by cigar smoking, sunglasses flipping, slow-motion walking, and everything that just makes him the ‘superstar’. Nelson Dilipkumar seems to have mastered the art of banking on that. And yes, while Jailer 2 does have a semblance of a story that moves Tiger Muthuvel Pandian’s tale forward, let’s not pretend that’s why anyone’s heading to the theatres this weekend.
