Jailer 2 Twitter Review: Rajinikanth Sequel Divides Fans
Rajinikanth's Jailer 2 has hit cinemas and early reactions are split on Nelson Dilipkumar's sequel. Here's what fans loved and what left them cold.
Rajinikanth is back as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian, and the first reactions to Jailer 2 are already dividing the timeline. Nelson Dilipkumar’s sequel opened in cinemas on October 15, 2026, and early tweets describe a film that takes its time before detonating at the interval. For fans who have been waiting since the first film, the question is simple: does the follow-up match the original’s energy? Early posts suggest the answer depends on which half you are watching.
What fans are saying about the first half
The loudest praise is for Nelson’s brand of comedy and the interval stretch. One viewer called the first half “fire,” pointing to the Superstar title card, witty comedy, a mass bridge sequence and the tea stall scene before a highly engaging interval block. Another post singled out Anirudh’s background score as one of the biggest positives, saying it elevates several sequences.
Not everyone is convinced. A more critical review described the first half as lagging and cringe in places, with average acting and a predictable interval, while reserving the strongest reaction for the cameos.
The one point of near-consensus? The interval. Even the mixed review acknowledges the film bangs viewers into the break.
The story so far
Jailer 2 continues the story of retired officer Tiger Muthuvel Pandian. After a powerful group comes looking for revenge for Varma’s demise, Tiger goes undercover as a driver to dismantle the threat while protecting his family. His trusted allies Mathew, Narasimha and Kamdev stand with him against formidable new enemies.
Who is in Jailer 2
- Rajinikanth returns as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian
- Nelson Dilipkumar directs, with Anirudh’s background score powering key sequences
- SJ Suryah, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakraborty and Yogi Babu feature
- Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar reprise their cameos, joined by Hrithik Roshan and Vijay Sethupathi
The cameo factor
Much of the early chatter is about the guest appearances. Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar return from the first film, while Hrithik Roshan and Vijay Sethupathi join the sequel’s lineup. Even a mixed review makes room to praise the cameos, suggesting the star power outside the lead role is a big part of the draw.
Why the release matters
For Rajinikanth fans, this is more than a sequel. It is a test of whether Nelson can expand the Jailer universe without losing the mass moments and humour that made the original click. The early word is that the first half builds slowly, but the interval rewards the wait.
If you are booking a ticket this week, go in expecting a slow-burn first hour that pays off at the interval. And if you are there for the cameos, the timeline suggests you will leave happy.
