Shivaji

As anyone could guess this blog is about Shivaji – The Boss. I am not a fan of Rajnikanth. But, still the charisma that this man has, forced me to write down a blog for him. It has really been a hard wait for the people to see Rajini in the silver screen with his usaul way of acting after Padayappa. Though Chandramukhi turned out to be a massive hit, it lacked the usual elements that a superstar movie generally has and I didn't like that movie. So it has been a long wait for me too to see him in the silver screen doing his heroic stuffs.

I have made it a practice to watch all Rajini movies on the first day after Baba, not because I like him, but to enjoy the festive mood his fans bring shouting and screaming every time he appears on the screen. It is also because of the proud feeling that I get saying that I have watched “Rajini’s” movie on the first day. Sounds silly , yeah I know but that's really a special feeling though many might disagree with me.Nevermind I am least bothered about that now.

I have been using all my tricks to get tickets for this movie. Thanks to SHE1 for getting me 4 tickets through her company. I was disappointed in getting tickets through corporate booking. That was because I had a notion that these people from software will not bring the festive mood as others do for Superstar movies. But I was proved totally wrong when I got into the theatre and the atmosphere was very much the same as I had experienced before for other Rajini movies. They were shouting even before the Title card flashed and it continued for another 3 hours. It was fun on the whole watching the KING on the Silver screen after a long time.

Now coming to movie as such. I am not going to break the plot here so people can go ahead reading. First, accolades to the Cinematographer and the Art Director. They both have done a wonderful job throughout the movie and especially in the songs. The quality of the picture gives us a notion that sufficient amount has been spent for the cameras used in filming and it is a visual treat to watch. The palace set for the song "Vaaji Vaaji" and the glass house set for "Sahana Saaral" was too good. These two sets are just an example of how they have spent for the movie.

Next is the music by A.R Rahman. He has done an awesome job and I am in search of adjectives to laud this music genius. He has done a great job with his back ground score as well which is very essential for Rajini movies. The BGM when our star walks, delivers a dialogue all are done to perfection. The Master of music has done his part to the fullest.


The heroine Shriya, wow.............. fabulous, Stunning, Awesome, Amazing, Wonderful, Superb, Excellent what else, I am speechless..... And people don't even think that I am describing the way she has acted in the movie. It is just her looks in the movie. Costumes chosen for her suited her aptly that it never had a degree of vulgarity, and It would have caused a stir among many if some other actress had used the same. God she was that good in the movie and I can still see her hips moving in the songs.I am damn sure that I will go another time for the movie just for Shriya.The first outfit that she uses in the " Vaaji Vaaji " song is stunning. Well , watching only that everyone will agree to what I have stated above. Last but not the least she is Mind Blowing.....Etc.

It's time to talk about the bigshots of the movie Mr. Shankar and Mr.Rajinikanth. Right from the first frame to the end of the movie it is completely a Rajinikanth's movie tailored by Shankar with his elements throughout.The first night sequence is one such example of Shankar's element in the movie. I still wonder how he comes up with something new in all of his movies for the society. This time he is playing around the Black Economy which is very much prevalent in the country and has used it effectively. He has made sure that there is some hilarious moments till the end. The vivek comedy in the hotel " Start Camera Action" when Rajinikanth is very upset , and the transition from Shivaji to MGR are some examples. Though he has blundered in the first half of the movie he stands up tall in the second half and has met all the expectations of Rajinikanth fans. In particular the last 20 minutes of the movie is stunning and has made everyone to say wow looking at Rajini in that sequence.He could have avoided the car stunt in the drive inn theatre and the repetition of the Matrix style stunts in the movie.Not to mention the "Athiradee" song, guess Shanker got inspired from the movie DESPARADO for this song.Apart from that he has done his job.

Rajinikanth...............See him for yourself.......Mere Words is never enough to describe the kind of magnetism that Rajinikanth possess....He is only one who can have such Magnestism to attract junta towards him........


PS : As I had already told in the blog , I have watched the movie for the 2nd time in Innox just for Shriya. One line to describe my experience in INNOX "Right Movie at Right Theatre With Wrong Crowd".....They were too calm for us to enjoy the movie....It is like Englishmen watching cricket just clapping for odd scenes....That's not the way to watch his movie.


Rajnikanth doesn't deserve to be worshipped as god , nor does he deserve "Pal Abhishekam" or animal sacrifice as many do. These acts are totally insane. But he completely deserves all those claps , whistling and screaming when he comes in the silver screen.....
I have now become an ardent fan of Rajinikanth....:-) Thalaivaa please do another movie.....
