During an Ask Me Anything session, a fan asked Shah Rukh Khan if he will watch Jailer. The actor replied, “Of course I love Rajni sir….Maassss!! He had come on Jawan set and blessed us too.”

"#Jailer -#RohiniMainScreen. Superb first half.Except Suneel scenes in the second half. It's Superstar #Rajinikanth's one man show. Interval & Climax were Goosebumps. Excellent response for #Mohanlal & #Shivarajkumar extended role. Anirudh BGM are backbone," wrote a person.

“After a long time, a Tamil movie is getting uniformly positive WOM from all the domestic markets (states) and International markets,” wrote Ramesh Bala in a tweet.

A video from a movie theatre shows music director Anirudh singing Hukum. “@anirudhofficial rocked #JailerFDFS at @VettriTheatres with an impromptu performance of #Hukum,” read a tweet.

Tirupur Subramaniam, film distributor and head of Tamil Nadu's Theatre Owners' Association, had told PTI earlier, "It is a Rajinikanth film, of course it will be ushered in with celebrations. We don't have fan shows any more like before, but that is not dampening the spirit of the fans. The movie is being shown in 900 screens across Tamil Nadu and all of them wear a festive look."

“Superstar #Rajinikanth as Tiger Muthuvel Pandian is Charismatic, Valiant and Indomitable throughout the movie. Huge comeback from Nelson with a gripping story line and magnificent direction. The Film has a Good first half and an extraordinary second half to entertain the audience. Action scenes were terrific. Dark comedy works well. BGM and Music were fabulous. Supporting cast did justice to their roles. This film will sail through the box office storm with ease,” wrote trade analyst Manobala Vijaybalan.

About Mohanlal's cameo, a person wrote on Twitter, “Don't think this man is added to the film only to make the film grand. His scenes in the film are very effective. BGM by #Anirudh & Presentation By #Nelson. The Complete Actor - #Mohanlal. Audiences are in for a treat.”

A theatre in Mumbai had to pause the movie as fan broke into a dance party at Rajinikanth's entry scene.

#Jailer - Appreciation post for Vianyakan. He carried the negative shade character very well and an interesting play was set up between him & superstar #Rajinikanth. Good finding from Nelson to cast in the movie," read a tweet by critic Amutha Bharathi.

Film critic Haricharan Pudipeddi wrote in a tweet, “#Jailer does get a tad long and predictable in the second half but still manages to work on the whole in delivering a satisfying entertainer. Nelson redeems himself strongly and this is the most stylish anyone has presented #Rajinikanth in recent years.”

'Nelson has beautifully showcased all the Rajini mas moments in his own style. Especially the way he showed Rajini in jailer look was intimidating. Anirudh's music supports the film like a pillar. Though the film falters at some places, Nelson does not disappoint us completely this time.' Read HT's review of Jailer in Tamil here.
