Samuthirakani as Directorc,

Yogi Babu as Ragul ,Mansoor Ali Khan as Bhai ,Anandaraj as Maanasthan ,Rajendran as Motta

The film has no basic story but like any commercial film, it has its mix of emotion, romance, songs and stunts. Both Jyothika and Revathy have been presented in a larger than life manner. There are two over–the-top stunt scenes which you can associate only with mass heroes, and two loud songs including the mandatory massy introduction song where Jyotika shakes a leg with hundreds of dancers in the background.

The film has nothing new to offer and is packaged as a time pass entertainer made up of few scenes to provide laughs. Jyotika has been doing serious films so far, so it is refreshing to see her in such a massy film. Revathy is one of the finest actors in Tamil cinema, but she does not fit in the role of the heroine's side kick.

Intent aside, Jackpot is downright silly and has many flaws. At times you may squirm in your seats. But as Jyotika said in one of her promotional interviews – "It's nothing more than a fun film and I'm looking forward to a big opening for it." Full marks for clarity .

Rating : 2.5 / 5.
