One reviewer remarked, “Jigarthanda Double X till interval – bad, bold and mad – and still works! What @karthiksubbaraj has done close to the interval, you cannot do it without conviction! A treat so far!!”
Another Twitter user shared, “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!!”
Audiences lauded the second half and climax, describing them as goosebump-inducing and emotionally charged. Actor Dhanush also took to Twitter to shower praise on the film, calling it a fantastic craft and praising the performances of the cast.
In a recent interview, Karthik Subbaraj revealed that “Jigarthanda Double X” pays homage to iconic Hollywood actor-filmmaker Clint Eastwood. The film, set in 1975, explores Western tropes and incorporates elements inspired by Satyajit Ray, adding a unique dimension to the characters.
