I strongly believe Thalaivar knows the best and will take appropriate action. Its quite obvious, none of the actors of Tamil Cinema will come in support of him. Sathyaraj would be the most happiest person by now..
Throught his career, he has spoken out, what he felt at his heart and thats not a bad thing to do. So truth always lies with Thalaivar. and Truth wins ultimately. |

nerd. don ask me anything. don compare it with his earlier performances. this is unique in its way.
first half is ok with some silly comedies. second half is fast and emotional. vasu with a few sodhappals. thalaivar enters only in the 45th minute. but don go with any expectations to be a superstar movie. but he looks awesome on screen. ![]() |

Kuselan- A typical Rajni film which is untypical M Bharat Kumar | Fri, 01 Aug, 2008,03:06 PM . Rajnikanth movie minus his insouciant style, punch dialogues, over-the-top fights is perhaps older than the dinosaurs. Kuselan is , in that sense, an un-Rajnikanth film. Hmm...in many other senses, it is also a typical Rajnikanth film. P Vasu's success may lie in the fact that he has grappled with this paradox with certain amount of adroitness and nifty thinking. . If anything, Vasu has gone the whole hog to purvey the 'super man on screen' as a 'super human in real life'. Kuselan, as we said, is not so much 'around' him as it is 'about' Rajni. Kuselan, if anything, underlines the mass image of Rajni and banks heavily on that. But yet, it does not resort to typical mass elements. It is a Rajni film without too much of Rajni ---- he appears only after the third reel. His total screen time may be just one-third of the film's length. He has been packaged in a manner that should be acceptable to his legion of fans, who are generally souped up on stylized gimmicks and maverick mannerisms. The set-pieces in the film are carefully crafted so that Rajni, despite his extended guest role, is always in the centre of things (even though he may not be actually on screen). Further, there has been an endeavour to tap the emotional and sentimental aspect of Rajni's persona. The last half-an-hour of the movie aims to pump the lachrymose glands rather than the adrenaline which is otherwise the case in a typical Rajni potboiler. That Kuselan is Rajni's pulpit to sermonise and tackle some queries is obvious from the fact that you get answers to some of the barbs that are generally thrown at him (why the actor prefers to go to Himalayas often? Will he venture to politics? Why he chooses to do only commercial movies?) Visually too, it is Rajni's show all the away as he is presented oozing panache and poise. The two songs pictured on him, which have no real impact on the movie, are veritable showcases, and a compelling nod to his fans. Lest we forget, Pasupathy is the hero of the film. And truth be told, he manages to hold his own even when he should have been aware that he, the hero, will actually be the sidekick. He plays the role of a man with self-dignity but streaked with an inferiority complex (how ironical considering the story of the movie). In a way, it is not a role that is not unlike the one he essayed in Veyyil. The emotional underpinnings of his character are what the film was all about in the Malayalam original (Katha Parayumbol). But here it has been deftly shaped up to be a superstar's bandwagon. Meena's role as a dutiful wife again moves away from the original --- the grey areas in the emotional make-up of her persona are not delved here. Vadivelu's comedy, with its earthy flavour, somehow doesn't seem to work. It is a bit of surprise as a similar comedy attempt in the Malayalam original (involving Salim Kumar, Innocent, Jagathy) gave a finely honed flavour to the story. Nayanthara as Nayanthara provides the glamour quotient. Prabhu, Livingston, Santhanam, M S Baskar, Geetha, Fathima Babu, Brahmanandham, Chinni Jayanth, Mamtha Mohandoss form part of the huge cast. Cinema Cinema, the song to celebrate the 75th year of Tamil Cinema features a host of stars including Kushboo, Sneha, Surya and Soundarya Rajnikanth among others. The story is about two childhood friends: Ashok Kumar (Rajnikanth) becomes the superstar of the industry. Balakrishnan (Pasupathy) lands up as a poor barber in a hamlet. The actor comes to shoot a movie in the village where Balakrishnan lives. Coming to know that the actor is a childhood friend of Balakrishnan, the villagers throng Bala's house seeking typical favours. A self-contained man who values his dignity, he fears to approach Ashok Kumar considering his stature. But when the two meet after a long gap, it is emotions that take over. It is a maudlin story and banks heavily on the belief that such emotionally wrought scripts can still work in cinema halls (otherwise, this stuff of the 70s-80s movies has long moved to the small screen). Cinematographer Aravind Krishna provides smart visual backdrops and music composer G V Prakash, without being outstanding, has come up with acceptable numbers. After Chandramukhi, Vasu has again shown that he has the nous to agreeably tinker with a borrowed story and script. Rajni factor He appears for 58 minutes in the movie He comes in 12 different costumes for a song Rajni has no stunt sequences PLUS Sreenivasan’s story Rajni’s screen presence Pasupathy’s acting MINUS Vadivelu’s comedy Nayanthara’s role Lengthy first half |

some of the raves/positive WOM from kerala. for those who don't follow malayalam... there seems to be a consensus on that it's quite a faithful remake. this is important because chandramukhi was trashed by mal viewers by comparing it with manichitrathaazhu. more importantly, almost all seem to be raving about rajni's performance. i expect it to be a decent hit in kerala, considering that it wasn't sold at a high price either.

hello guys here is my review
First of all actingwise it is superstar's best performance since thalapathy. Overall movie was somewhere between average to good. Superstar acting- very good Pasupathy's acting- very good. Photography- excellent. Songs- Average Direction-Poor comedy- average Notable stuff - Climax. This one for only Nerd: This movie is much better remake of original malayalam when compared with chandramukhi.

hello guys here is my review
First of all actingwise it is superstar's best performance since thalapathy. Overall movie was somewhere between average to good. Superstar acting- very good Pasupathy's acting- very good. Photography- excellent. Songs- Average Direction-Poor comedy- average Notable stuff - Climax. |

This one for only Nerd: This movie is much better remake of original malayalam when compared with chandramukhi.

All the artists in the movie have etched out their roles as wanted. The comedy by Vadivel was good except for some (scenes with his wife Sona) which I didn't enjoy much. I feel that is not required at all. i completely agree with u regarding this point... she is not at all needed... stupid vasu.... Nayanthara looks glamorous and the SuperStar-Nayanthara pair really looks good and that is evident from the visuals. The song picturisations have come out well. yeah the picturisations are good... but i felt the nayanthara song was not at all needed and out of place.... I liked the comedy by Santhanam. He wasn't irritating than in his previous movies. Surprising. yeah his timing was really good... But the best part is about our SuperStar. He is CASUAL, COOL, STYLISH and WHAT NOT. SuperStar in the climax really touches each and everybody's heart. That's the ACTOR in him which we have missed to see him for a long long time. Say around 2 decades. |

I have not written a contemporary Tamizh film review for sometimes, so bear with me. Kuselan : It is a Rajini movie. Rajini? Playing the superstar, he appears awkward. He looks like he’s not sure whether to pattern the role after actor Rajinikanth, or to create something that is everyone’s perception of what actor Rajinikanth is. But in the climax, the actor in him takes over. Yes, the actor in him that I thought has gone extinct, is still there. The one reason that I believed that he was once as good as the other guy, and is also the rightful heir to NT’s chair, is still there. Not so much, but a flicker of flame. I bet a bit of Method acting also came useful, as the emotional scene he narrates has echoes from his, the real Sivaji Rao Gaekwod’s, life. I have now crossed my finger again, hoping to see the great actor in him soon. Overall, a so and so picture that would not have worked if not for Rajini. His presence can be felt throughout the picture when he probably appeared like in half an hour to 40 minutes. He doesn’t have to be around all the time to carry the picture. Interesting addition to the resume of those involved. |

I have not written a contemporary Tamizh film review for sometimes, so bear with me. Kuselan : It is a Rajini movie..... Aside: I hope this will be a closure to the first chapter of Rajini’s career. There is that unforgettable still from Apoorva Raganggal, his first Tamizh film, appearing in many scenes in this film, and the film ends with Rajini baring his soul. I hope he will leave behind the superstardom, superheroism stuff, and step into a more character-oriented role. We need someone who can play strong patriarchal role. We want that great actor in him, the flickered like wildfire in films like Bairavi, Buvana Oru Kelvi Kuri, Mullum Malarum, and the occasional ones like Padikathavan, Tharmathurai, Annamalai, and of course, the explosive Thalabathi. We want him back. We still believe in that great talent in him. We still do. The cinema is getting better, with great stories, wonderful directors, all gearing to push the Tamizh cinema up, and his participation in it will only make it more eventful, with his own global stardom. End of aside. |

Yep, its really strange a big movie didn't release in Coliseum. As u say, there is some problem arised I guess. I still can't believe Coliseum missed showing this movie (could be first time in history). Truth can't be hide longer. The problem will be talk of the town sooner. ![]() |

'Kuselan' marches on SUCCESSFULLY in USA
IndiaGlitz [Monday, August 04, 2008] It was a blockbuster opening weekend for Superstar Rajinikanth in the United States of America. 'Kuselan' continues to march on with the same speed as it opened on August 1 and has been sold out in all major locations in the second week too. The US distributors of 'Kuselan' in lieu of the friendship week have brought the ticket price of the Rajini blockbuster to $10. According to Jayavel Murugan who is marketing the movie for the Pyramid Saimira Group, 'Kuselan' is a movie to be watched with friends and family and we are encouraging repeat audiences. The movie is very good and not just Rajini fans like it. Every single Tamil household likes it. It is a wholesome family entertainer with a fitting climax that can move every one and flood their memories with old forgotten friends. The distributor also highlighted the fact that his team has made the right moves that will encourage folks to come out and watch good movies like 'Kuselan' on the big screen with friends and family. 'Gas and food prices have gone up. Inexpensive movie tickets would indeed be a big relief' he says. After all watching movies is a favorite past time for Indians! http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/40517.html |

I also wonder how Rajini decided on his salary for this movie... It looks like the biggest portion of the expenditure would have gone that way? Or, may be not! Or, may be he split his usual salary by 3 considering the time he comes in the movie... Or, maybe I should just not care abt this at all! ![]() |

when CM was made at 5 and sold at 30, and earned 70+(and advertised as 100+!) it was all more than OK. it is superb example for business strategy.
but, when kuselan again made for same 5, sold at 65+ is what making things worse....eventho producers projected it as full length rajini movie, if it was sold for much less price, then everyone wud have made a decent profit, or atleast, worstcase no one wud get a loss...i wonder what made rajni to accept such figures, all other issues cud be balanced but not this one... |

Well the problem with this movie is manifold (Not the quality)
1. Rajini appeared for about 25 mins (sans the songs) and vaachu right from Day 1 was claiming that its a Rajini film. 2. Rajini in all the interviews said he is just playing a cameo, which turned out to be TRUE. 3. Rajini fans were not interested that much, poor opening (Rajini's standarnds) stands as the example. 4. WOM won't be all that good, going by whatever I am hearing. The good news is a Pasupathy film garnering this much in the BO ![]() |

குப்புற விழுந்த 'குசேலன்' வசூல்
'குசேலனில் எனது பங்கு 25 சதவீதம்தான்' என்று ரஜினியும், 'இது முழுக்க முழுக்க சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் படம்தான்' என்று இயக்குனர் வாசுவும் வெளியிட்ட கருத்துக்களில் முதலாமவர் சொன்னதுதான் பலித்துள்ளது. படத்தின் முக்கிய கதாபாத்திரமான பசுபதியைகூட படத்தின் விளம்பரங்களில் அதிகம் பயன்படுத்தாமல் ரஜினியை பூஸ்ட் செய்தே 'குசேலன்' வியாபாரத்தை நட்ததிக்காட்டினார் வாசு. நமக்கு லாபம் வந்தால் சரிதான் என வாசுவின் போக்கில் போனது குசேலனை தயாரித்த நிறுவனங்களும். ரஜினி படமாச்சே முடிமுதல் அடிவரை எல்லா ரைட்சுகளையும் விற்று காசாக்கிவிடலாம் என கணக்குப்போட்ட பிரமிட் சாய்மீரா நிறுவனமும் 61 கோடிக்கு வாங்கி வெளியிட்டது. இதில் கவிதாலயா மற்றும் செவன்ஆர்ட்ஸ் நிறுவனங்களுக்கு பல கோடி ரூபாய் லாபம் கிடைத்தது. ஆனால், வாங்கி வெளியிட்ட பிரமிட் சாய்மீராவுக்கோ 20 கோடி ரூபாய்வரை கையை கடித்துவிட்டதாக கூறப்படுகிறது. அதேபோல் அவுட்ரேட் முறையில் படத்தை வாங்கிய விநியோகஸ்தர்களுக்கு 50 சதவீதம் வரையும், M.G.முறையில் வாங்கிய தியேட்டர்காரர்களுக்கு 60 சதவீதம் வரையும் நஷ்டத்தை ஏற்படுத்துமாம் குசேலன். 'சந்திரமுகி' படத்திலும ரஜினிக்கு முக்கியத்துவம் இல்லாத கதைதான். அதுமட்டும் எப்படி ஓடியது? என்று யோசித்தால் குசேலனுக்கு ஏற்பட்ட நெகட்டிவ் சிந்தனைகள்தான் இதன் தோல்விக்கு காரணம் என கண்டறியப்பட்டுள்ளது. ஆரம்பத்திலேயே இது எனது படம் அல்ல என்று ரஜினி அறிவித்ததும், கர்நாடக பிரச்சனையில் ரஜினி ரசிகர்களிடையே ஏற்பட்ட அதிருப்தியும் 'குசேலன்' தோல்விக்கு காரணமாகியுள்ளதாக கூறப்படுகிறது. ஆகஸ்டில் வெளிவரும் தனது படங்கள் பெரிய தோல்வியை சந்திக்கும் என்ற ரஜினியின் செண்டிமென்ட் ஆரூடமும் பலித்துள்ளது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது. |

What I have been saying too... But look at the article - It says Pyramid who bought the rights for Rs62 cr may incur losses of around Rs 20 cr. That means they are expecting to earn more than Rs 40 crores - which is NO MEAN SUM! and this for a small scale movie that took >8 mos from announcement to release!!! I think there are quite a few actors/producers who would KILL to get those numbers!!! |
