Titans opens to mixed early reviews for Jayasurya and Vinayakan
Jayasurya and Vinayakan’s fantasy comedy thriller Titans is out, and early Twitter reactions are split over its first half, second half and climax.
Titans opened in theatres on October 22, 2026, and the first wave of X reactions is already split. Directed by Prince Joy, the Malayalam fantasy comedy thriller stars Jayasurya and Vinayakan, with Indrans, Nihal Nizam, Baby Jean and Sunny Wayne in key roles.
The premise is a big swing. Antony Yakuza, a small-time outlaw who wants respect in the bad world, plans a heist with his tech-savvy roommate Anwar and their mysterious getaway driver Rejimon. The plan spirals, and the trio is pulled into a bizarre battle between angels and demons where reality starts to blur. It is a crime caper, a fantasy and a comedy rolled into one — and that blend is where both the excitement and the early criticism begin.
Where early viewers agree
The most consistent praise is landing on the cast rather than the script.
- First half: effective humour and a strong Jayasurya performance.
- Vinayakan: his mass appeal and comic scenes with Jayasurya are being appreciated even in mixed reviews.
- Concept: some viewers call it a grounded reimagining of good versus evil with an unconventional superhero flavour.
That third point matters. A grounded take on the superhero genre is an unusual promise in Malayalam cinema, and a section of the early audience feels the film delivers enough comedy and visual effects to make the experiment feel entertaining.
Where it loses people
The complaints are just as consistent. Several early reactions say the second half disappoints, the climax is predictable, and the fantasy world and its supporting characters lack conviction. The 120-minute runtime is being called unnecessarily long by a section of the audience.
One response summed up the middle ground by calling Titans a “one-time watch” — an excellent plot held back by an average screenplay and technical presentation. That line captures the central tension: viewers bought the idea, but many did not buy the execution.
Should you book a ticket?
For fans of Jayasurya and Vinayakan, the early word is useful. If you are going for the pairing, the comedy and the mass moments, the reactions suggest there is enough on screen to enjoy. If a tight, satisfying second half decides a film for you, the mixed verdict on the climax is the review to weigh most.
This is less a thumbs-up or thumbs-down than a map of which half of the film is delivering. Use it accordingly when you choose between a theatre ticket and waiting for the buzz to settle.
