Rajinikanth reprised his role as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian in Jailer 2, which released nationwide on Thursday to packed theatres and strong praise for its opening half.
Viewers and critics lauded the high production values, action sequences, and mass moments, comparing its explosive energy to the 1991 film Baasha.
However, the second half drew criticism from some fans and reviewers for a weaker script, unimpactful villain tracks, and forced cameos.
