our
movie
review
to
know
what
exactly
does
this
horror-comedy
has
to
offer.
Jackson
Durai
Plot:
Like
most
horror
films,
Jackson
Durai
houses
a
haunted
bungalow,
situated
at
a
village.
Thanks
to
this
haunted
place,
villagers
restrain
themselves
from
stepping
out
of
their
houses
after
9PM.
Sibiraj,
who
comes
across
as
a
policeman,
is
sent
to
this
village
to
carry
out
an
investigation
and
throw
some
light
on
the
unusual
happenings
around
the
bungalow.
Sibiraj
falls
in
love
with
Bindu
Madhavi
and
when
he
approaches
her
father
with
a
marriage
proposal,
he
meets
Karunakaran,
a
relative
of
Bindu,
who's
been
waiting
in
the
pipeline
to
marry
her.
Bindu's
father
asks
both
Sibi
and
Karuna
to
stay
in
the
haunted
bungalow
for
few
days
and
that
whoever
makes
it
alive
out
of
the
place
will
get
to
marry
his
daughter.
Performances:
Except
Yogi
Babu,
nobody
else
has
managed
to
evoke
laughter,
which
is
one
of
the
weakest
links
of
this
film.
Sibiraj
looks
out
of
place
and
is
a
serious
miscast.
Sathyaraj's
character
might
make
you
wonder
why
he
took
up
this
role
in
the
first
place.
However,
the
veteran
has
done
what
is
required.
Somehow,
the
idea
of
casting
Rajendran
in
a
horror-comedy
is
going
overboard,
one
might
feel.
He
neither
spooks
nor
amuses.
Technicalities:
After
a
promising
first
half,
which
sets
up
the
story
beautifully
for
an
exciting
second
half,
the
movie
falls
apart,
10
minutes
into
the
latter
half.
Yuvraj's
cinematography,
along
with
the
first
half,
are
the
few
bright
spots
in
the
technical
department.
The
cameraman
has
used
his
colours
well
to
portray
different
eras
in
the
film.
Background
score
is
apt
but
fails
to
elevate
some
of
the
poorly
written
scenes.
Overall
View:
Jackson
Durai
has
its
moments,
but
the
whole
purpose
of
the
movie
goes
for
a
toss,
thanks
to
its
poor
execution.
