Tantalising Recipe
The film too is set in such an ambience for the most part. But the laughs keep coming. But you can't categorise the film as a black comedy either. Jigardhanda almost redefines the term 'genre'. You name a category and there is atleast a scene in the film that fits in to it.(more)

'Jigarthanda' A film not to be missed
The intriguing first half moves at jet speed with interesting elements jam packed in it. Post interval, the subplots open one after another rather slowly and drag a bit at times.(more)

Jigarthanda is still a good appetising drink, that you can sip on.
The first half of the film sails through effortlessly, but it is the change in genre and the 'surprise twist' that slows down the film in the second half.(more)

Jigarthanda: Racket science
Films like Jigarthanda, targeted at Twittery youth, fight a mighty fight to bridge that divide, striving to make commercially viable entertainment with truckloads of auteurist artistry. If nothing else, you have to respect the man on the unicycle. (more)

Jigarthanda is a failed attempt at showing stylised brutality
Director Karthik Subbaraj�s forte has been thrillers. He debuted with Pizza, a supernatural story, and is now on to Pizza 3. But between these two, he wove another film, Jigarthanda, the tale of a fledgling helmer and his compulsion to create a gangster movie. Diffident but with a dream in his eyes and a song in his heart, young Karthik Subramaniam (played by Siddharth) goes to a producer, who asks the debutant to make a violent film and throws a few DVDs on the table. One of them is Godfather, the other a Quentin Tarantino work. (more)
