Jinn is an evil force created by kings through magicians to win wars hundreds of years ago. There are also good jinns. Good jinns are the protectors of kings and have done good to the people. The story is about what would happen if such jinns were present in a person in the present era.
A good jinn that belonged to a king hundreds of years ago comes into the possession of the hero Mugen Rao. After it comes, many good things happen in his life like love, marriage, and the start of a band. At the same time, when some problems arise in the house, his wife is also severely beaten and admitted to the hospital in a life-threatening condition. Thinking that the jinn is the cause of all this, he throws it out.
But, the jinn keeps chasing Mugen, and Mugen learns a secret about the attack on his wife and the jinn. What is it? What does it have to do with his wife being attacked?, is what ‘Jinn’ tells in a fantasy genre full of commercial features.
Mugen Rao, who plays the hero, has done more laughing than acting. Despite having the opportunity to express many emotions like love, anger, and humor, he is unable to do them, and he laughs and blurts out various things throughout the film to overcome it.
Bhavya Trika, who plays the heroine, makes a few love scenes and some song scenes, and then lies down in a coma. Then, she has done the less work given to her, namely making a cameo appearance in the climax.
Radha Ravi, who plays the villain, has made a symbolic journey through the film with his experienced acting. Iman Annachi, who plays the hero’s father, has played an inappropriate role that makes the audience laugh. It is comforting that some of the scenes in which Balasaravan appears make you laugh.
Those who have played other roles like Vadivukkarasi, Nizhalgal Ravi, Vinothini, and Siruvan Rithvik have played moderately.
The opening scenes in Arjun Raja’s cinematography are attention-grabbing. The scenes that follow are colorful.
The songs and background music are composed by composer Vivek Mervin.
Written and directed by D.R. Bala, the actor who has written and directed the film, have given a new form to the ghost we have seen from Jaishankar’s ‘Pattanamthil Bootham’ to Prabhu Deva’s ‘My Dear Bootham’, under the name of Jin.
The background stories of the emergence of jinns and the coming of Mugen to the jinn who was locked in a box hundreds of years ago are told in a pictorial manner, but they are told in an interesting way. Similarly, if the film’s screenplay and visuals had been interesting, the film would have captivated the audience.
Although the story moves around the character of Jinn’s graphics in the second half in an attempt to attract children, the film’s weakness is that the character’s poor graphics and his actions do not fit the story.
