Jai Simha movie review: Critics call Nandamuri Balakrishna’s film the best Sankranti gift for the audience

Jai Simha is an entertaining one-time watch, critics opine.

Given the fact that it’s an auspicious time down South and other parts of India as Sankranti is only two days away, it is also the best time to release biggies and make maximum profit. So there are many releases at the box office. Suriya’s TSK and Vikram’s Sketch are already making a lot of noise at the theatres. But there’s one more superstar whose latest release Jai Simha has Critics hailing it as a best festival gift. We have compiled a few reviews of the film just for you so that you can make a wise decision…

Chitramala gave 2.5 stars saying, “Jai Simha is a story of a guy who goes to any extent for the sake of justice. When he is like that, his family gets involved with it and to save them from antagonists he leaves his rowdyism and leaves the city for the sake of his family and his new born child. Director KS Ravi Kumar did an okay job in handling this movie. The comedy sequences featuring Brahmanandham doesn’t entertain at all. In fact, they act as speed breakers. Director relied most on the family sequences and they work well with family audience. Nandamuri Bala Krishna who is the lead actor of this movie did everything to satisfy his fans but comedy sequences plays the negative role. To sum up, Jai Simha is a family drama from NBK and K S Ravi Kumar combination.”

123Telugu.com has given the film three stars. The review reads, “On the whole, Jai Simha is a typical mass masala entertainer in true Balakrishna style. The added advantage of the film is the emotional angle during the climax. The film is clearly aimed at the masses and will do well with all Balakrishna fans. But the roller coaster effect of the film can get to the regular audience at times. If you are the one who does not mind the regular commercial narration, this film ends up as a one time watch this festival season.” 

NewsFolo called it the best Sankranti gift ever. The review reads, “It is amazing action drama for the family entertainment on the eve of Sankranti. As we all know that the dialogue delivery is the essence of the movie that makes it interesting and entertaining.

It is blended well with suspense, romance and action. Jai Simha movie has achieved good reviews from the audience as well as critics. It is good to make the Sakranti festival eve entertaining. Overall, it is entertaining romantic Telugu action drama.”
