But the roller coaster effect of the film can get to the regular audience at times. The film is clearly aimed at the masses and will do well with all Balakrishna fans. The added advantage of the film is the emotional angle during the climax. On the whole, Jai Simha is a typical mass masala entertainer in true Balakrishna style. The way he adds unnecessary commercial elements and sidetracks the film frequently deviates the attention of the audience. Even though he has presented Balakrishna quite well, his narration is quite dull in major places. Editing is pretty average as the film needs serious cuts to make things better.Ĭoming to the director Ravi Kumar, he has done just an okay job with the film. Dialogues written for Balayya are quite massy and will appeal to the front benchers. The camerawork is okay and showcases the Kumbakonam region well. But the background score could have been a bit better during the crunch elevation scenes. Music by Chirantan Bhatt is decent as all the songs sound good on screen. Production values of the film are just about okay. The first half an hour during the second half featuring Hari Priya’s episode is quite boring and sidetracks the film. The runtime of the film is a bit high as some fights and villain oriented scenes could have been easily edited out. Comedy generated through Brahmanandam in the first half is quite bland and bores the audience to an extent. After a very good fight or emotional scene, director Ravi Kumar adds some silly comedy and routine commercial elements. One of the biggest drawbacks of the film is its roller coaster effect. The climax is quite good and has been handled on a very emotional note.

The interval bang is also decent and sets the tone nicely for the second part. Some heroic scenes in the first half, like the temple episode and confrontation scenes with the villains, have been dealt well. Prakash Raj was okay in his supporting role.


The way her role has been designed with a lot of emotional touch is pretty good. Nayanthara gets a meaty role once again and gives a lot of depth to the film with her sincere acting. The star hero has also danced supremely well in the Ammkuty song which will be a treat for his fans. Balakrishna not only impresses the masses with his punch dialogues but also moves them to tears with his emotional avatar during the climax. He is seen in two different roles and has given a tremendous performance. Balakrishna is the biggest asset of the film.
