Jaggubhai

K S Ravikumar directed Jaggubai has been placed the headlines in the media for the past couple of weeks for its leakage online before the actual release. Due to this it created some expectation among the viewers… but the way the director create the film is poor and not fulfill the expectations.

As told by Rajinikanth, the film’s story is straightly lifted from the French movie Wasabi.

Jagannathan, (Sarath Kumar) alias ‘Jaggubhai’ is a Police Officer who always handles the bad elements with terrific and unconventional ways to clear the criminals in the City.

Jaggubhai is sent to Australia on an important mission to deal with anti social elements there. In Australia, Jaggubai meets Meena (Srisha) and they both fall in love with each other. Jaggubai fails in his mission for which he came to Australia and the brief romance with Meena also ends abruptly. Jaggubai returns to India as a dejected officer failing in his official duty as well as in personal life.

Twenty years later he gets a call from Australia stating that Meena is dead and has left him a will. He reaches Australia and is shocked to know that his romance with Meena caused for a daughter namely Monisha (Shriya), now a teenager.

Jaggubai realises that he has to take care of Monisha from the bad guy an international criminal Hamid Ansari, an old foe.

Jaggu now meets his former colleague Mani (Goundamani) in Australia. With his help he overcomes the crisis and eventually finds out why Meena left him and the reason for bringing him back into his daughter’s life.

Sarath Kumar really done his role perfectly. He gives authenticity through his way of handling the bad guys like an original police officer.

Goundamani rocks as a MIB cop in Australia!

Shriya tries to delivering things in right way. Srisha, the new comer is not perform up to the expectations.

The major plus point of the film is that it is only 2 hours, and the camera work of RD Rajasekhar is fantastic.

Rafee’s music is nothing much to say about. The action scenes are superbly choreographed especially the quick and fast movements of Sarath in the fight in the mall.

But the overdose of sentiment scenes that are really some two decades old, fails to workout well with the audience.
