Junga Tamil Movie Review, Rating

Vijay Sethupathi strikes with his impressive comic timing and funny body language, and with his typical getup, perfectly generates genuine laughs. Coming close on heels stealing the show from Vijay Sethupathi often is the humourous yogi babu, who is a livewire, and will his one-liners, comic punches and hilarious body language instantly evokes laughter and his chemistry with Vijay Sethupathi is interesting. Sayyeshaa is the typical eye candy who tries hard to emote but fails. Madonna Sebastien is adequate in her mini Cameo, while Suresh Menon continues his villainy from where he left in Thaanaa Serndha Koottam. The rest of the cast including Motta Rajendran and Saranya Ponvannan are aptly cast.

While comedy comes in handy for the Rocking Aandavan Kattalai combo Vijay Sethupathi and Yogi Babu, everything else falters, including the action sequences which look forced, the romantic track with Sayyeshaa that is a huge dampener with its artificial tone (Madonna Sebastien track works, surprisingly!), and  the scenes between the hero and the villain are ultimate downers, with no interesting factor in them to engage the audience. Despite good cinematography and music by Dudley and Siddharth Vipin, Junga suffers from cliched scenes, flat comedy in the second half, a boring and slow screenplay, and poor song placements, ultimately impacting the quality of the comic entertainer it must have been. All said, Junga is a tedious watch, only for Vijay Sethupathi, if you possess extreme patience.
