Don't expect a Karthik suburaj Movie. Its more than that. It contains every genre in the film industry. A best film you can in 2023. Its career best performance of ragahva Lawrence. He has a talent but nobody utalized him properly. Also one thing Karthik proved here is cinema is not about always happy ending. Some times we need to accept reality. The cinematography of this movie is top notch. Also sana proved once again he can do more than other music director can't do. The soundtrack felt like a Interstellar of indian version. Unique and perfectly match maded for this movie. Also the performance of sj Surya can't be forgoted. In a simple line is ' you don't choose 🎨. Art choose you...'

Amazing movie with best performance from all the casts. I would say this is the best output from director Karthik Subbaraj, Raghava Lawrence and SJ Suryah combined. Bold climax and no noticeable flaws, enjoyed every bit of it. Watched 2 shows consecutively in 2 days, the emotion and intesity definitely double axed. Songs and background music brings us directly into every scene and amplifies the impact too. A big congratulations to the entire team, this will definitely be a milestone for all. For those reading this review, please don't miss watching Jigarthanda Double X in cinema. It's a wonderful experience. Cheers.

Recently there have been very disappointing movie like "Jailer" which was good for mass scenes and acting but logic lacked. "Leo" where it was Eh very disappointed since it's LCU. It's not the actors, love most of em just the movie bothers me(Story,Making,Logic,etc). Coming to jigarthanda doublex, always have been a fan of Raghava Lawrence but recently so many horrible movies... And I expected the same from this movie too... But so glad my friends pulled me to this movie... This has been one of the best movies of his and i was so happy thinking to myself YES Raghava Lawrence finally good a good movie and S. J. Suryah what a perfect cast for the role he's playing, and Raghav Lawrence is epic as always...was so happy the entire day because i went expecting average or less average movie and it was so so so good that I'm gonna recommend to whomever i can...peace.

What a brilliant piece of cinema. Karthik Subbaraj uses all the best aspects of cinema, even some that are very specific to Indian cinema to make one of the best masala films. The film is a tribute to the power of filmmaking while reminding us both why it is and to ask the why whenever needed. The culture of star worship in Tamil Nadu, as a political tool on one side and also here as a tool that turns out to be self-realization through the use of Clint Eastwood's spaghetti western on the other side. The elements from the first movie, the filmmaking centred around a gangster are there but by the end, it even reminds me of Viduthalai with how hard-hitting it turned out to be. This brought out the best performance from Raghava Lawrence and also showed that SJ Surya can shine even if he's not over-the-top as many criticize him. There's so much to talk about this movie all of which I probably haven't processed yet but what I can say is it is entertaining throughout while also being very hard-hitting with what it wants to say. My favourite Karthik Subbaraj film yet (haven't seen Iraivi) and my favourite Indian movie of the year.

Jigarthanda XX - With a known genre and seen plot in the title installment you might feel okay-ish or a little bored by the intermission . Post intermission Karthik takes viewers into another world and pulled of a different genre in same file wisely and succeeded in it. KS excelled in bringing Western style genre , visuals and style beautifully . This movie has its own flaws and lag but that doesn't hold you . Double X may not be KS's best movie , but surely this one will be the most ambitious and heartfelt film in his career . Double X is definitely worth a watch on the big screen for its making and experiment !! Raghava Lawrence's versatile acting with different shades and SJ Surya's subtle yet terrific performance along with strong technical work makes XX more and more an enjoyable experience !!!

JDX is clearly Karthik Subbaraj's best work since Jigarthanda. Of course, it brings back the familiar "gangster & filmmaker" trope from the original, though it ups the stakes, emotions, and craft. On the whole, I still prefer the first film because it had a simpler core and didn't have to shoehorn any kind of messaging. But credit where it's due, the second half of JDX takes you into a space you wouldn't expect, (almost) hitting the right emotional notes, as well as showcasing some exceptional bits of writing. The first half of JDX, on the other hand, is probably the most well-shot in all of Subbaraj's films. Cinematographer Tirru is firing on all cylinders, getting the Madurai Western colour palette right and candidly capturing a host of differentially textured characters. SaNa & Subbaraj are an irrefutable combo, and somehow, the latter keeps extracting fantastic background scores from the former. The writing in the pre-interval block and the climax are terrific. These segments bring out the best in SJ Suryah as a performer, even when they hark back to certain ideas from the first film. The remainder of the film rests on the able shoulders of Raghava Lawrence, who comes up with a spectacular feat. It's to the director's credit that we only see Alliyus Caesar and NOT Raghava Lawrence in the film. The supporting cast also pitches in with emotionally charged performances, and this includes good showings from Nimisha Sajayan and Ilavarasu - plus, the folks who played various members of the tribe. Naveen Chandra, as the antagonist, is impressive. I can say the same for the actor who portrayed Shettani. Subbaraj's adoration for Clint Eastwood Westerns fully comes through in the first half, and while the humour quotient is less (when compared with the 2014 film), it keeps you visually hooked. The setup is elaborate, and in the beginning, I wondered why Subbaraj took the longest (and intricately detailed) route to get to the seen-before plot point from the first film. But, he surprised me in the climactic portion by offering solid payoffs. The only major downer is the visual effects for the elephant scenes, but I'm willing to let that slide since the makers didn't try to brag/reveal too much in their promotional material about it. On the whole, this is deliciously cooked meta cinema, and a splendid return to form for Karthik Subbaraj, the CINEMA LOVER.

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Source: Nil First, very big kudos to Ragava, Karthik and SJ Surya. All excelled in their role. Movie is so heavy and superb. The interval and climax bangs are nicely done. BUT the entertainment value missed very much in this second part. The movie is so serious from beginning to end with very few relaxing moments. At last Lawrance got meaty role to show all his potential, but still little bit of Rajni is coming out in some scenes. The climax lead to Sethu is interesting one. This is really worthy movie to watch, lot of good dialogs and fantastic production values. But highly missed the entertainment, that too on Deepavali time. Some period mistakes in the movie like showing theatre with 70MM screen in 1975 time, Police guns and some more.

It is as flashy for as much grounded the first part was. The first part was simple down to earth and also relatable in a way. In his want to be stylish, Karthik subburaj has forgot what makes his films great. This film is too complex and overburdened. The setup is too fast and complex, after a while feels a bit watchable and there is a glimpse of good old subburaj. After the intermission back to bad cinema. Complex, overburdened. Some things can be changed like the setup to introduce characters, the circumstances feel too ficticious, the stakes Are too high. What made Sergeo Leone good was simple stakes, believable storytelling, and grounded setting.
