Junga  Review



Star Cast : Vijay Sethupathi, Yogi babu, Sayyeshaa
Director : Gokul

Two weeks back, CS Amudhan's Tamizh Padam 2 trolled all the commercial stereotypes in Tamil cinema. In Junga, director Gokul has spoofed the usual gangster movies in Tamil through his protagonist who plays a stingy don.

If the uproarious laughter from the audience, watching Junga in the theatre was any indication, then the film is sure to satisfy its target audiences. The film has few funny moments with clever lines thrown in at lightning speed especially in the first half. What’s interesting is that this cocktail work to some extent as logic and subtlety are sacrificed.

Junga (Vijay Sethupathi), is the son of gangster Ranga (Vijay Sethupathi), and grandson of Linga (Vijay Sethupathi again). But the problem with Junga's dad and grandad is that they spent lavishly on food, clothes and booze and due to this costly lifestyle, they lose all their wealth and pledges their Cinema Paradise theater to Chettiyaar (Suresh Menon).

Motivated by the life story of his dad and grand-dad, Junga becomes a stingy gangster and earns a Crore to get back his theater but Chettiyaar throws him out of his palace. A wounded Junga decides to kidnap Chettiyaar's only daughter Yazhini (Sayyeshaa) who lives in Paris and blackmail her dad!! Will the funny don and his assistant Yoyo (Yogi babu) be successful?

Gokul tries to follow the dark comedy genre, which worked for him in Idharkku Thaane Aasaipattai Balakumara. To be honest, Junga tickle our funny bones in a few sequences but the comedy falls flat in few scenes. Although the lengthy dialogue of Vijay Sethupathi summarizing the entire story in the pre-climax was adorable, his comic timing has not been worked out in most of the scenes. The climax chasing scenes are unbelievable and too long.

Vijay Sethupathi’s sequences with Madonna Sebastian was a complete waste of time and it only tests our patience. Sayyeshaa is there only in the second half and she is perfect eye-candy who looks gorgeous. She shines in the dancing department, as always in Lollikiriya track. Yogi Babu is funny in parts while Saranya Ponvannan and the old lady who is Junga's grandmother are hilarious.

Technically, Dudley's crystal clear cinematography brings the grandiose feel to the film and Siddharth Vipin's music is good. The film is way too long at 2 hours and 35 minutes. Overall, Junga is a comedy entertainer which offers a few laughs.
