Meet "The BOSS"

Happened to watch Shivaji, the most hyped film of recent times. Its morning show in Chennai's udhayam theatre. Me and my friend were there at 10 o clock in the morning after attending another friend's marriage. We got the tickets and saw that the show is at 11.15. So was waiting outside the theatre. People slowly started coming.
Its a Thursday Noon show and its full. Such is the craze for Rajinikanth in TamilNadu.That guy simply rocks in whatever he does. The movie started with "Sultan" the animation movie trailer. The mere presence of the animated Rajinikanth made crowd gaga.
The movie started with the usual Super Star Rajini writing with the new background score by Rahman. It simply rocked. The introduction scene is mind blowing . Its completely different Rajini. 30 yrs younger. The tossing of Chewing gum and catching it showed his style still rocks.
The movie went on with some good comedy sequence from Vivek and Rajini. The story revolves around the NRI trying to invest in India.Trying to start colleges to educate poor. The villain trying to stop this because he already has lots of educational insitutions and making hell a lot of money.
He fights with Rajini and makes Rajini a poper in 1st half of the movie. In 2nd half of the movie Rajini raises like Phoenix and blast the villain.My review
1) Saw director shankar in "Ballelaka" song and in the title. I couldn't see him anywhere in the movie
2) Its full and full Rajini movie and its great to see his heroics.
3) Hats off to the Makeup person for making Rajini 30 yrs younger
4) Hats off to Thotta tharini to make such a beautiful sets in all the songs.Its world class
5) Hats off to my thala "Rahman" to come up with peppy numbers to suit Rajini fans
6) Camera work is coooooooool
7) Rajini tells "Coooooooooooooool" how many times in the movie? A good quiz question
8) "Pera kettale chumma athiruthulla" ,"saavara naal therincha vaazhra naal narakamaayidum" and lots of technical jorgans show that my place guy "Sujatha" is the dialogue writer :)
9) Vivek is there throuhout the movie. His timing is too good.He might come another round in tamil films from now on
10) There is no social message. No where Shankar's punch is there.
11) The Mottai Boss Rajini in the climax simply rocks.

Though a normal movie, the effort taken by the cameraman,make up person, Art director,music director and of course Rajini has made the movie a huge hit.
I liked the way the movie is hyped all over the country. It proves tamil movies are not far behind Bollywood movies. They are in fact far ahead of Hindi movies.
People from North to South are talking about Rajinikanth and Shivaji.
I like the way Rajinikanth trust God in whatever he does. He will be "The Boss" for another 20-30 years .
