Jigel Review
Jigel Movie Story: This slapstick comedy film doesn’t follow a structured story but instead moves forward through its quirky characters.
Nandu (Thrigun) is an expert at opening any locker and passes his time with small thefts. His life takes a turn when Meena (Megha Chowdhary), a clever con artist involved in bigger scams, suddenly enters the picture.
What mischief do they get into together? Did their plans to settle down succeed? That’s what Jigel is all about!
Performances: Thrigun fits well into his role as a typical youthful hero. After a long time, he showcased his comedic side, entertaining the audience. Megha Chowdhary impressed not only with her beauty but also with her performance.
Though Sayaji Shinde, Raghu Babu, and Prithviraj’s comedy felt a bit outdated, it still managed to provide some entertainment. However, seeing so many senior comedians together in a single frame felt like a refreshing relief.
Technical Aspects: Though Mantra Anand’s music and Vasu’s cinematography were just average, director Malli Yeluri’s storytelling kept the audience engaged, making them overlook these aspects. He effectively utilized senior comedians to keep the viewers entertained.
Malli Yeluri focused more on character-driven comedy rather than the story itself, impressing as a director.
There wasn’t much scope to discuss technical aspects like production design and art direction. However, Malli ensured that the audience stayed engaged without getting distracted by minor flaws.
Analysis: It has been a long time since we’ve seen films that rely purely on character-driven comedy rather than a strong storyline. The advantage of such silly entertainers is that they don’t require much thinking or tension just simple, lighthearted fun. Jigel falls into this category, making it an easy watch for those looking to pass the time happily.
Verdict: Jigel is a lighthearted slapstick comedy that focuses more on character-driven humor than a strong storyline. While the comedy may feel outdated at times, the film keeps the audience engaged with its fun moments and entertaining performances. If you’re looking for a simple time-pass entertainer without much logic, Jigel can be a decent watch.
Bottom Line: A silly, time-pass entertainer.
Rating: 2.5/5
