The whole Masala style of filmmaking seems to still reign supremely in Tamil cinema, and “Jigantha Double X”, the latest film by “Cold Heart” director Karthik Subbaraj is a prominent sample, with its larger than life characters, action of absurdly epic proportions, and the plethora of singing and dancing. These, however, are just some of the elements that make the particular title so unique.

Jigarthanda Double X Movie Review Rating:

Star Cast: Raghava Lawrence, S. J. Suryah, Nimisha Sajayan, Nimisha Sajayan, Naveen Chandra, Sathyan, Shine Tom Chacko

Director: Karthik Subbaraj

Writer: Karthik Subbaraj

Review of Jigarthanda Double X: A Blaze of Political Drama and Fiery Performances(Photo Credit –IMDb)

What’s Good: The film is an authentic ‘Pandya Western’ with aesthetics, an engaging protagonist’s journey, and an enigmatic narrative core. Suryah and Lawrence deliver spectacular performances, navigating moral quandaries and evoking empathy. Karthik’s trademark layers assure sustained engagement, with nods to Tamil cinema adding an enigmatic touch.

What’s Bad: The initial 30 minutes exhibit storytelling impatience. Specific sequences, like unnecessary melodrama, disrupt the flow. CGI, especially in rendering elephants, lacks an organic feel. The second half’s abundance of messages can be overwhelming, and some scenes, like the tribal wedding, seem disconnected.

Loo Break: There is a film recording scene at the 49-minute mark.

Chennai, Nov 7 (Ians) Superstar Raghava Lawrence’s upcoming film ‘Jigarthanda Double X’ recently released its behind-the-scenes (BTS) clip which focuses on its crew and their technical feats. As such, the BTS clip shows small-scale real life explosions, intricate wire work, and a very detailed set design.

After his most recent film ‘Chandramukhi 2’, Raghava went to the set, things began heating up as the whole crew was brimming with excitement. Constructing things from scratch, much of the film was in fact not shot in a studio, but rather in open air where the crew made a whole small scale urban town.

This included building the houses, their interiors, shops and more. Ironically, all of this was made to be blown up later making the whole effort only more commendable. Apart from set construction, it also focuses a lot on the camerawork, specifically the use of angles and lenses to be...

Actor-director Raghava Lawrence ahead of his film ‘Jigarthanda Double X’ has released a new hip-hop track called ‘10000 Pax’. An experimental rap song, the song blends gangsta rap, freestyle, electronic, dance music creating a groove that is full swag.

Written and performed by ofRo, the song has as much of a party vibe as it oozes pure hip gangsta style. In many ways, it is similar to something that Ice-t, Eminem, or Kanye West do, but can sonically be differentiated because of its more avant-garde nature.

There is a lot of bling in the video, though it also has scenes from the film and the composition of Santhosh Narayanan who has made the track as groovy and cool as possible.

There is a very chill attitude in the whole song despite it primarily being a gangsta rap song. The delivery of ofRo is very much on point, and underlying the extremely chill nature,...
