New Delhi: 'Jawan' starring Shah Rukh Khan, Nayantharam Vijay Sethupathi released in thetares today. As fans and audiences throng even early morning shows, here is a quick Jawan first half review for those who have been waiting in anticipation.


Jawan starring SRK, Nayanathara is a mad action ride that has all the masala elements.


There is dance, drama and high-end action to watch out for and everything less cringe and way better than Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan'. 


SRK in various avatars is a delight to watch.


Notable scenes in the film include the actiom sequence between Nayanthara and SRK, revelations of SRK’s double role, and the chemistry between SRK and Nayanthara.


'Jawan' director Atlee also makes a cameo in the 'Zinda Banda' song.


The best part about Jawan is that in sequences, it feels like many different films and yet makes sense as a whole.


Deepika Padukone’s cameo is still awaited. Vijay Sethupathi plays arch villain who does not have much role atleast in the first half. Fans are eagerly awaiting for Sethupathi to flex his muscles in the second half.


The first half continued to draw whistles long after Jawan closed for interval. Many in the audience were excited to book a second show for the film.


'Jawan' has an expected India opening of Rs. 65-70 crores.
