I choose to hold my pen tight and words flow in praise of this masterpiece. I loved Iraivi and Mahaan and I believe them to be cult masterpieces of their own accord till date. Also I remember watching most of the movies this year, hoping for it to turn interesting, hoping for it to turn coherent and or make some sense altogether, but in vain. Just because you have a bankable actor on cards, stories cannot lose their power. And I very well wanted to voice this general feeling in this forum that people should stop making revenge sagas/child or sexual abuse/serial or psycho killer movies for at least half a decade from now, we have had saturatingly enough of those. Even though a gangster movie is not new at all, the treatment given to this movie was completely fresh, it doesnt even remind you of Jigarthanda (KS specified in an interview that this movie is only a spiritual sequel as it retains only the soul of the original,and has remained true to it)
Drawing a cinematic universe to the prequel and some characters that remind you of the previous Jigarthanda could have been easy and would have produced some screams and whistles for sure, and even here I feel only a director who takes a movie for eternity and sees it completely as an art in his hands to work on , would not do things that are on trend at that point of time alone, for box office collection sake(that KS has consistently never considered while making his movies).A very good movie should not remind you of any other movie. A very good actor should not remind you of any of his previous roles. And such a movie with such etched characters will form a real cinematic universe of its own and this movie is one of that sort. Some directors are taking the cinematic universe to be their signature mark too seriously and end up making a spoof of their own movies.
Some of the note worthy things I noticed in this is movie is the Acting of the cast(yes, everyone live up to it), brilliant soundtrack and background score (specially the part where we hear the RockNRolla soundtrack playing in the background) Santhosh Narayanan has a long way to go, hope he can cope it and finally Simha.
Simha has comedy written all over him if you had watched his previous movies, specially the first few scenes of Soodhu Kavvum and how things end in Neram. He had transformed into something entirely different. This movie becomes one of many movies that is based on the baddie and not the hero as we would think, in my opinion Sidharth is actually playing a second role in this. Much appreciation also to Sidharth for his professionalism time and time again, many could learn from him all those who call themselves starts.
Director Karthik Subbaraj, who broke onto the Kollywood scene with his debut feature Pizza, says the starting point for him while writing a film is always the core idea. The 35-year-old, whose latest release Mercury stars Prabhudeva, says the film took less than 10 days to write. Here he elaborates on his writing process, where he gets his inspiration from and who his influences are:
I cannot start writing something the next day of getting the idea. Once I get the idea, I think about it for maybe a week or two. I'll read something about it. I get a few ideas about it and when I sit and start writing it takes me a maximum of 15-20 days to finish the first draft.
The remaining drafts depend upon when I am going to shoot. For example, I wrote Jigarthanda thinking it would be my first film. It was before Pizza. I had already prepared the draft. I searched for producers but I didn't find any. So I got time also to write. I keep changing it. You have time until you go for the shoot. Until then, I keep changing it. There are some films, for example Mercury, for which I got the idea as a story and I wrote it in less than 10 days. I started pre-production on it and within a month I went for the shoot.
In my mind, to be satisfied that the screenplay is ready to be shot, it takes until I finish my first draft. Only that takes times, after that I enter the process. After that you can continue to make small changes, but the first draft is the spine and to create that it takes me a maximum of one month.
It was then that he said that he knew someone in Alapakkam who was a bike mechanic and another friend of his had just come out from jail for murder. We thought we could speak to him and understand the psychology. We decided to go about it psychologically. If you see the short film, the cop kills a person momentarily. He gets insulted and in that second he spontaneously kills a person. So we wanted to understand what happens psychologically in that second.
So when we went to talk to him, I got the idea of making Jigarthanda since he was more interested in being a part of the film we were making than actually explaining his story to us. This was very interesting to me. The idea began with a clash between a filmmaker and a gangster/murderer. But when I started writing the screenplay, I could not start the movie from that point. I needed to build up the gangster to a point so that the drama became interesting.
So I did more research for that. In my mind, the scene where the filmmaker gets caught by the gangster was the interval block. So when we get to that scene even the audience needed to feel the panic of him getting busted. In the scenes prior to that we had to build up his character. So we had to build a history, an opponent and a story for him. In the process it became a gangster film. The idea was to make a comedy about the murderer wanting to be in the film being made by the filmmaker, but the lead up to it turned out to be a proper gangster film.
When I just started making short films, a friend of mine told me to watch a certain kind of films to get influence from. So I asked him to suggest the name of a movie for me to watch. The first name he suggested was Shawshank Redemption. He told me to watch that. I could never bring myself to watch the film entirely. I started and stopped 3-4 times. I don't know why. But one particular day I sat and watch the entire film and was blown away. It was only after that I started watching movies from outside India.
Of course, I had already seen plenty of movies like Titanic and Jurassic Park, Terminator and other such movies. But Shawshank Redemption was the first movie that I saw that I was able to truly appreciate for its story telling. After I saw the end of that movie, I was truly blown away.

Similar to its predecessor, the sequel revolves around two central characters: a movie director and a rowdy attempting to collaborate on a film. However, this 2023 installment delves into various themes and political aspects.
"Double X" feels akin to watching two movies on a single ticket, addressing themes such as tribal life and their rights, power struggles, the underworld of gangsters, the influence of cinema, and more.
The initial sequences of "Jigarthanda Double X" serve as a test of patience, with minimal development and a chaotic storytelling approach. The second half presents a notable improvement, with a more coherent plot. Certain episodes are effective, and the climax scenes are well-executed.
The primary issue with "Double X" lies in its attempt to encompass numerous aspects within one plot, resulting in a slow-paced narrative with an extended runtime. Despite some commendable episodes, the overall storytelling becomes tedious.
