#JigarthandaDoubleX second half set up is in complete contrast which requires some time for us to settle down and tune up. Whereas The last 30 mins is superbly done with emotional quotient in right proportion.

#JigarthandaDoubleX Probably Subburaj's most honest & heartfelt film yet. It gives you what you'd naturally expect but evolves into something more important & reiterating the power of cinema beautifully. The last hour is brilliant. Detailed thoughts later, for now: must watch.
