Just how much fan service will you include in a movie, team? The objective is to tell a story and entertain, not entertain with fillers. The main plot idea sounds like a 80s Jackie Chan film, which is ok as some Rajini scenes of that time were a tribute to such movies..
Still, other than the comedy in the first half, I do not understand what is attractive about the film. The little kid and family bonding moments were particularly sweet.. Yet, the second half was full of undesirable directions. For the sake of making this a pan-India film, you have a lot of masala thrown around. Yet, we do not enjoy these as well-connected to the film's setting.
At least, all the fans would scream their lungs out at some of the places in the film. In particular, the second half's start has a treat for the fans. The problem was the team did not put a stop to referencing innumerable old Rajini films. Are we here to watch Jailer or scenes of old Rajini films? At least, this does not have concepts that are completely foreign to India like in "Vikram", that sold it shamelessly by naming the villain after Pablo Escobar and aped the West in the name of "class" entertainment. Jailer has no scarcity of "mass" elements and we cannot love it enough. Yet, do not bring young kids or haters with you.
