What @karthiksubbaraj has done close to interval, you cannot do it without conviction! A treat so far!!” Another wrote, “Fire fire fire. Roaring interval block. Karthik Subbaraj is well and truly back in this engrossing cat-and-mouse game, which majorly works in the first half. On to the second half. If the momentum continues, blockbuster!!”
One person also tweeted, “Second half and climax… goosebumps. Last 30 minutes were emotional. What a social message by @karthiksubbaraj. The best from @offl_Lawrence so far and @iam_SJSuryah. Acting on another level!! Jigarthanda DoubleX is a must-watch film.” Another said, “I came without an expectation and I was blown away…”

More about Jigarthanda Double X
Karthik had said that his latest movie is an ode to iconic Hollywood actor-filmmaker Clint Eastwood. In a recent interview with The Hindu, the filmmaker said, “When we made the first promo for the first Jigarthanda, it featured a poster of Clint Eastwood. In the new film, the script lends itself very close to the Western tropes, and I have tried to explore it to the maximum.”
Explaining that he wanted to bring the story close to Satyajit in some way, Karthik said, “The story of Jigarthanda Double X is set in 1975, and at that time, Satyajit Ray was a working legend, and I wanted to incorporate it into the story. When we introduce the character of a filmmaker as someone who had assisted Ray, the character’s dimensions change drastically — how he behaves, his costumes and so on, it’s also another tribute.”
