Jana Nayagan: Vijay’s propaganda film makes even Sura and Villu look like masterpieces | Opinion-entertainment News

After “Vinveli Nayagan” (Thug Life), here is yet another Nayagan who is equally bloviated but a tad less comical. Director H Vinoth’s Jana Nayagan embodies much of what’s wrong with the culture of superstardom. Everything becomes solely about one person, making all else around them insignificant. The makers’ tactics always appear the same: they place the superstar in every frame and get them to do their trademark/signature antics, so fans may overlook the palpable shoddiness throughout, not even realising that the star and the film’s creators have made fools of them by delivering something not worth even half of what they paid for their tickets. Billed as the swan song of actor-turned-politician Vijay, who currently serves as the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, the Jana Nayagan certification controversy, which delayed its release by seven months, is well-documented; so, no recap needed.
