Review
Karthi’s current film Japan, directed by Raju, follows the success of Ponniyin Selvan: II. It’s an action comedy about a skilled burglar who robs a jewellery store with gems worth Rs 200 crore. This causes the ethically ambiguous protagonist to engage in a thrilling manhunt with the upstanding police enforcement.
The buzz around the film Japan’s debut is encouraging. Twitter users are raving about how different Karthi looks and acts as a robber in the film from his prior films. Karthi’s comic timing is believed to be the major plus feature of the movie – Japan.
Many viewers anticipate Karthi’s breakout performance in this film. Director Raju Murugan apparently added romance to action and humour in his latest flick – Japan. According to internet users, the film Japan’s action scenes would blow them away.

Some Twitter users complained that the film’s weak first act was a dealbreaker for them. Time passed without anything happening, making the first half dull, but the filmmaker managed to spice things up for the second.

Some users on social media praised GV Prakash’s BGM, saying it gave the film energy. The score that Jeevee composed is credited as adding to the story’s emotional impact. Twitter users agree that Anu Emmanuel’s beauty is a plus for the film.
Both Karthi and Anu maintained an upbeat attitude throughout their performances.
The supporting cast includes Jithan Ramesh, KS Ravikumar, Sunil, and Bava Chelladurai so, also did justice to their roles. GV Prakash Kumar composed the score, while Philomin Raj edited, and Ravi Varman shot the film.
The trailer and teaser for the film have generated a great deal of buzz. People have great hopes for this film because of the success of Raju Murugan’s previous works.
After a great block of Karthi’s conversation, the film gets off to a great start with the character and heist setup in Japan. The comedic moments worked beautifully.
In general, it’s viewable throughout the festival period. It’s a movie that’s all about having a good time and entertaining people, and it’s packed with humour and action the whole way through. It was ready to go after the performers turned in outstanding performances, the background score was great, and the cinematography and colour grading were superb overall.

Breaking:
If you see any negative reviews for #Japan or #JigarthandaDoublex ,
The review should be from a kaakaa. I could see most of the #vijay fans are afraid of other good movies and spread negative reviews. Such a எச்ச behaviour#LeoDisaster#japanreview #JigarthandaDoublex pic.twitter.com/vqankuAN0N— காக்கையன் (@vhmJwNO64VtE8LK) November 10, 2023
