Plot

A famous jewelry shop loses Rs 200 crore worth of jewelry in a heist. The police department guesses that the person behind this heist is the notorious thief, Japan.

When the cops rounded up Japan, he denied that he has no connection with this heist. Who is involved in the heist, really? Was Japan telling the truth or lying? The rest of the story follows it.

Star Performance

Karthi fits well in the character, as usual. His body language and dialogue delivery are fantastic, and he gets appreciation from the audience for his portrayal. Vijay Milton has got a good role and his performance is wonderful. We have seen him cranking the camera and directing the movies, and for the first time, we witness his acting excellence. Sunil did his job better. Anu didn’t have much to perform.

Analysis

When we heard that Raju Murugan would direct Japan with Karthi, we thought it would be a message-oriented subject with dark comedy. But, Japan is a complete commercial entertainer, though it has some message behind it. However, the screenplay should have been better with its writing. As far as we see, Raju Murugan failed to utilize some talented people like KS Ravikumar. Ravikumar is one such natural actor who could excel in any role. We feel his talent is not appropriately used in this film. However, Karthi’s potential was perfectly utilized, and hence, his fans had some whistling moments. GV Prakash’s music is decent. The visuals are good, but the VFX needed more attention. 

What’s There?

  • Karthi’s performance is good
  • The music and visuals add some positive points to mark’s table

What’s Not There?

  • The screenplay could have been better with some swiftness
  • Some actors are not utilized properly

Verdict

Overall, Japan is a medium-paced action comedy thriller that may go well with Karthi’s fans and heist thriller fans.
