Prakash Raj and Murali Mohan are reliable. One gets a feeling that the comedian is doing a role written for Vadivelu. Brahmanandam feels so jaded in the setup.

There is nothing much to talk about the other two heroines. Nayantara looks and acts well as one expects from her. Overall, Jai Simha is a predictable average masala fare made in an old style. The ending portions of the flashback are the heart of the movie, and if one fails to connect to it, Jai Simha ends up being a tedious watch. Post interval things follow a predictable path, but it is again the drama and fundamental conflict of the hero which keeps one engaged. The interval bang gets elevated due to a small twist. The first half of Jai Simha is fine with a couple of sequences standing out. However, it has a purpose in the narrative taking it forward rather than act as speed breakers. The entire comedy track feels so dated and is also cringeworthy. The approach and narration are old-fashioned which is a massive problem with the film. KS Ravikumar manages to keep the drama tight around that one little twist. Jai Simha has a predictable story with a small twist. His experience is visible when we think about the movie in entirety. KS Ravikumar is a senior pro, and he goes about his work clinically. A special mention must be made to the dances which are remarkable considering his age. The problem here is one that of freshness.

He romances and mouths dialogues with a fish in the water kind of ease like only he can. When trouble hits the family of Gowry how Narasimha saves them?
