One day, Arjun goes missing and Muthuvel learns that he was killed by the gang. However, he also discovers that there is more to the story than meets the eye. To find out the truth, Muthuvel decides to take matters into his own hands and confronts the gang leader Jackie (Jackie Shroff).
The Performances

Rajinikanth is the main attraction of the film and he delivers a charismatic performance as Muthuvel. He showcases his style, emotion, and humour. He carries the film on his shoulders and makes it fun for his fans. Ramya Krishnan plays his wife and she has a strong presence. She supports him well. Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, and Sunil make special appearances and add value to the story. Jackie Shroff plays the villain and he does a decent job.
The Direction

Nelson Dilipkumar is a talented director who has made some impressive films in the past. He tries to present a new avatar of Rajinikanth in Jailer and he succeeds to some extent. He blends action, comedy, drama, and sentiment in the film and creates some engaging moments. He also pays tribute to Rajinikanth’s previous films and pleases the fans. However, he also falters in some aspects of the direction.
