BY SACNILK

The movie is produced by Kalanithi Maran under the banner of Sun Pictures and it also stars Mohanlal, Jackie Shroff, Ramya Krishnan, Shiva Rajkumar, and Sunil in key roles. ## The movie had early morning shows all over Tamil Nadu and going by the initial response, it looks like Thaliavar is set to deliver a massive blockbuster at the box office. Nelson Dilipkumar, who was under fire after his last release "Beast" starring Thalapathy Vijay, seems to have made a great comeback with "Jailer".## In early audience response, the first half is being hailed as superb, followed by a decent second half. The interval and post-interval scenes are said to be the major highlight while comic portions throughout the movie land well and are seemingly entertaining.## A movie featuring superstar Rajinikanth always makes noise and it seems Nelson Dilipkumar has given full justice to his aura where the superstar's unmatchable screen presence is getting the highest praise. The extended appearance of Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar is another big plus the movie is having, especially Mohanlal who seems to have made an impactful cameo.## Apart from the physically involved factors, it is Anirudh Ravichandran's music that hit the bull's eye again. The rockstar has been in fine form for the last few years and he delivers another rocking BGM in "Jailer". Overall, despite some minor issues with the lengthy runtime, the early audience reactions are positive which should translate into box office numbers. ## Stay tuned...
