Actor Siddharth’s production house Etaki Entertainment’s maiden project is Jil Jung Juk. The film stars Siddharth, Demonte Colony’s Sananth Reddy and Avinash Raghudevan. The first look posters came overdosed with quirky purple. A blue hair Siddharth, Sananth with the famous ‘pencil meesa’ (pencil moustache), and a tonsured Avinash. These three characters launch us into some really trippy stuff in Jil Jung Juk.
The teaser is drenched in sepia and purple. Siddharth and his sidekicks are introduced, and he’s quit to toss out fascinating dialogues like “It’s good to see death coming after you, only then you will understand the purpose of living.” Sananth is excited about the gun. Avinash isn’t. Radha Ravi makes an appearance in a beard. There’s also Nasser, Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanum’s Bagavathi Perumal, and a host of other supporting artists.
Vishal Chandrasekar’s music matches the thematic quirkiness beat by whacko beat. But what really steals the show is the bubble gum pink car. Blue hair, sepia tone, and a pink car. This film promises insanity. Siddharth is Jil, Avinash is, Jung and Sananth is Juk. Bomb explosions, bullets blazing through, and crazy outfits. Subtle comedy (to complement the outlandish) when Sananth asks his friend Avinash to take his picture. With a bomb blast in the background. He says, “Terripic ah iruku” and then discloses that there’s no camera in their phone.
RJ Balaji, who received favourable reviews for his performance in Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, plays a vital role in Jil Jung Juk. There’s a man known for being a chatterbox. A white girl applauds happily, and the teaser winds down with him being rather grim. He takes his evening refreshment with a drink in his hand. He also tells the smiling girl, “Baby, Shut Up.” That’s probably supposed to be a cool and quriky moment.
