- Jana Nayagan, Vijay's last film, released on July 23 to mixed audience reactions
- Fans praised Vijay's presence, emotional scenes, and Anirudh Ravichander's music score
- Criticism focused on writing, lengthy runtime, Bobby Deol's villain role, and political subplots
The wait is finally over for Thalapathy Vijay fans. Jana Nayagan, touted as the actor's last film, arrived in theatres on July 23. Within hours of the first-day, first-show screenings, social media was flooded with reactions, with viewers giving opinions on H Vinoth's directorial venture.
While many fans praised Vijay's screen presence, emotional moments, and Anirudh Ravichander's background score, several viewers criticised the film's writing, lengthy runtime, and Bobby Deol's villain track. Some even called it a disappointing farewell for the star, while others felt it was a worthy theatrical experience for fans.
One user wrote, "#JanaNayagan A Painful Farewell for Vijay! Apart from a few elevation blocks and Anirudh's score in places, nothing works here. H. Vinoth's execution is very sloppy, and the changes he made, especially the subplots, feel completely outdated. Bobby Deol's villain track is atrocious and laughable at times. VFX and production values are poor, editing is all over the place, the core emotional moments from the original are inserted without any proper flow, and the climax tests your patience to the max. Outright Disappointing!"
Directed by H Vinoth, Jana Nayagan stars Vijay in the lead role alongside Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Priyamani and Prakash Raj. As audience reactions continue to pour in, it remains to be seen how the film performs at the box office in the coming days.
