I enjoyed Jagame Thanthiram. Loved the direction of Karthik Subbaraj. And Dhanush was like effing Al Pacino. The Future is HIM. DOT. #jagamethanthiram #JagameThandhiram #Dhanush #suruli pic.twitter.com/rIvv4hgv7h —  (@nameis_asri) June 18, 2021

However, there were some viewers who expected more from the film and weren't thrilled by the actioner.

Overall : It can be watched once.

The main flop of the movie is the continuous repetitive "mass" and violence scenes which served no purpose.

BGM score by @Music_Santhosh was an absolute treat . Clear, loud and chaotic. #JagameThandhiram#Suruli — HBD Ammu Baby  Xie (@Sunshine2U1716) June 18, 2021

Jagame Thandhiram could have been better, was a good start and later got draggy and boring. Another typical Indian movie where the hero doesnt get shot in a gun fight! — DevarajahSelvarajah (@devagaga) June 18, 2021

#JagameThandhiram Making good, Immigrant matter is good, Dhanush did his acting good.. But if it is released in theatres D fans would have enjoyed but B and C centre guys would have avoided.
One Time Watch  3.5
