Sivaji in Chennai!!!!!!!!!
What can can i say about Sivaji / MG Ravichandran (MGR)...... MGR in Sivaji steals the thunder from Sivaji in Sivaji - Confusing - go and watch the movie....
Superstand Rajnikant's latest mega release is a good attempt at bringing to light the black money laundering that happens in India, which has been causing a serious divide amongst the rich and the poor. But the treatment meted out to the story leaves a lot to be desired. I somehow feel that Sankar just got this one horribly wrong. Sankar is confused in his presentation of the concept. He ends up neither doing justice to the story nor to the great talents of Superstar Rajnikant. The end result is a hotch botch film, which one can only endure for our beloved and revered Rajnikant.
The first half actually is a drag. The first half is full of meaningless comedy. To be frank, its an overdose of meaningless comedy. Usually Rajni's movies have high packed action and energy. The comedy is well spread across the movie and comes in the right doses to keep the audiences hooked on. There are times when Vivek has you in splits with his great sense of comedy and Rajni for sure chips in with his best effort.
The second half expecantly gathers pace and this is whenour beloved Rajni comes into his own. Great dialogue deliveries (chumma adhirudhille) and his trademark stunts with the chewing gum, the coin, the sunshades and his tap on his bald head as MGR just leaves you in frenzy. The second half kicks on quite well and the pace keeps you intrigued till the end. The only glitch being Rajni's tiresome legs while he runs or dances. They are too evident in the movie. Most of the fight sequences have Rajni running and they make for a poor reflection on his current physical endurance levels. Sankar could have made the stunts a bit more static and glossy. Rajni is not growing younger with each passing day and the audiences as well as the directors need to understand that. His trademark tumkas also look a bit out of place and again the age is evident when he tries to shake a leg or two. But give it to Rajni, with all these constraints, he still manages to give his best and one cannot argue on that. Hats off to you Talaivar!!!!
Music by ARR is great - as usual. The songs are well picturised. One of the standpoints of the movie is the great make up done to Rajni. He looks great and trust me MGR in Sivaji will blow your mind away.
I think the delay in releasing the film caused great hype and expectations of the movie. Had it been a normal in time release, i am sure the expectations could have been more controlled and the hype too. With such high expectations and hype on "Sivaji", i expected it to be potboiler of a movie. The fact that it dint turn out to be one left me disappointed.
This was the first Rajnikant movie i was watching in chennai (basically from bangalore and have watched most of his movies on tv or theatres here). I wanted to feel and experience the frenzy surrounding the Superstar himself and i was not disappointed. It was a memorable experience watching "Sivaji - The Boss" in Chennai.
I just wished this film was as good as a Baasha or a Padayappa or any other mega hits of Rajni.....
This movie is a must watch for all Rajni fans. Watching it again and again and again will depend on how one feels after coming out of the theatre.
