Thoughts on Jawan

 If you are someone who has not been exposed to Shankar's and scores of other Vijay, Ajith's --saving the Makkal (people) and taking on the government/system movies, but you have to write a quick essay for your class tomorrow, Jawan is the movie for you.

It takes every South mass movie and distills in to one. Multiple social issues, national security, Amma sentiment, Appa sentiment, multiple flashbacks - you name it, this has it. Sorry my bad, no sister sentiment.

Move over Motta boss from Sivaji. Add Bane from Batman for international flavour.

Rajni lighting cigarette is  for boomers. Shahrukh lighting cigar will be the standard henceforth.

Sanjay Dutt playing an IPS officer Madhavan Nair in a mundu talking about Onam and Sadhya is a sight to behold.

Post Jawan, South directors won't have anything to write for their mass heroes. Shankar should just shelve Indian 2.

Hence the rumours that Thalapathi is moving on to save the world now.... from aliens.

Everytime you think that this can't get any more cringey, Atlee says hold my beer.

I.N.D.I.A and Bharat both seems to have financed it. The pendulum swings from government corruption, suit boot ki sarkar to public service message on the importance of voting.

Finally this is the revenge of South India. For all the memes of Rajni, Balayya and Gaputan Vijaykanth that north Indians laughed at, Southies can now reply with memes of Shahrukh. Proponents of Dravidanadu should honour Atlee with their highest award. Take that indi people !. Nandri.
