  First things first. On behalf of the millions of Rajni fans across the globe we at Behindwoods salute the Superstar for bringing so much excitement and joy into our otherwise mundane lives. As it has been said in one of the James Bond movies, 'No one does it like you do. No one does it half as good as you'. That is why you are the Superstar, that is why you reign in our hearts and that is why no one, absolutely no one can take the place that you have made your own. Ore chandhiran, ore suriyan, ore Superstar.

  Bay,
  I don't find any surprise ..Rajini movie needs masala,action,comedy mixed with a correct ratio ,and shankar is master in it ..Added with Rajini's screen presence ,there is a very little chance for disappointment from Rajini fans and others who expect a typical Rajini film.

  Rajinikanth: A box-office boon!
  ABIDA NAHID
  
  [ FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2007 03:44:57 AM]
  
  One cannot think of any other actor who has made smoking look so stylish. And tempting. On screen, he would flick a cigarette with his finger that would sit between his lips and then light a match from the denim of the villain’s jeans.
  
  And his fans in the cinema hall would roar. Rajnikant is the ‘superstar’ of Tamil cinema. His style and trademark dialogues have earned him millions of fans from Madras to Tokyo. Even after 32 years, Rajini’s roll with the cigarette gets him a thundering applause.
  
  Legend has it that in real life too he would do his cigarette flick while he was a bus conductor and was one of the reasons his once mentor, K Balachander offered him a role. Shivaji Rao Gaekwad has come a long way from being a bus conductor to the most paid actor in India and importantly Tamil Nadu’s film icon.
  
  Call him the Southern Amitabh Bachchan but at your own risk. But unlike Amitabh Bachchan’s ravenous appetite for commercials Rajnikanth has never endorsed any product ever in his career and yet remains the highest paid actor in India.
  
  Rajnikant dictates the storylines of most of his films. Producers are scared of killing him on screen for the fear of his fans’ backlash and importantly dip in box-office earnings. His fans are so fanatical that on the first show of Pollathavan (Baddie) they had to stop the film after they threw garlands and flowers on the screen mistaking it for Rajnikant and later realizing it was not their superstar.
  
  His cutouts have been the tallest in Chennai reaching a 120 feet. Rajnikant from the time he became a hero in Tamil cinema continues to live a larger than life. Though he started off as a villain, Rajnikant slowly grew popular becoming the most popular star in Tamil cinema. While Kamalhasan has played stellar roles as an actor, he could never match Rajnikant's star status in Tamil Nadu and elsewhere.
  
  Those outside Tamil Nadu hardly knew that Rajnikant was a Marathi who worked in Bangalore and finally found his way to Madras and the reigning superstar of Tamil cinema. He is a rage in Japan. His films set fire to the box office. And has a huge fan following in Tokyo and other cities.
  
  Rajanikanth has been widely dubbed as the most influential personality in Asia. Many thought he could change the face of Tamil Nadu politics. His films and their songs are full of political euphemisms. He even threw himself to DMK’s ring at one point. But later he chose to politically silent. Of late he remains diplomatic about his moves. Unlike other younger heroes, Rajnikant believes in acting in a single film a year.

  Rajnikanth’s new movie comes to town, it’s festival time for his fans
  
  What it means: 4 am alarm, 100 litres of milk, flowers and crackers; first show at Aurora at 8 am, just 30 minutes after Chennai release
  
  Smita Nair
  
  Mumbai, June 14: At the office of Ganesh Films Matunga, distributor Nambirajan is trying to explain a “southern phenomena” to a television journalist: “In Tamil Nadu there are only three festivals, Pongal, Deepawali and the release of Rajnikanth movie.”
  
  It’s this third festival that Nambirajan has managed to bring to screens in Mumbai after he won the North India rights for the “costliest Indian movie”: Sivaji, The Boss, with the first show of the Rajnikanth-starrer opening at 8 am tomorrow at single screen Aurora Theatre. It will open to packed audiences at 7.30 am in Tamil Nadu and at 11 am in multiplexes across the country.
  
  The ‘North India’ tag, explains Nambirajan, is everywhere to the “north of the four southern states”, which means “calls from otherwise unknown centres like Latur, Sholapur have been pouring in. This is the first time when new centres are also calling for a south Indian movie”. The market mathematics for a Rajnikanth movie cannot be explained, he says, adding, “The last call was from Ichalkaranji in Kolhapur where the film will release tomorrow; now how do you explain that?”
  
  Nambirajan, whose first movie as a distributor was the 1991 Rajnikanth-starrer Thalapathi, went for 10 weeks as a morning show at Metro. The star’s last release Chandramukhi, a remake of Malayalam hit Manichitrathazha,crossed the 100-day mark. “It was the 10-year association that we have with AVM that won us the rights. For the first time, we had competitors for North India distribution for a south Indian movie from multiplex distributors,” says Nambiraj. “Business expectations are big as it is an AVM production, Rajni directed by Shankar with music by A R Rehman.”
  
  The multiplexes exhibiting a south Indian movie in prime time shows is a welcome change from those days when “south Indian movies would run only in morning shows, with only a few theatres like Aurora showing them for a few weeks”, feels Nambiraj.
  
  Balakrishna Shroff, Director, PVR Cinemas, said: “Sivaji... is enjoying the prime time shows at our multiplex. The occupancy is nearly full on the first day and we are expecting overwhelming response from the movie over the week.”
  
  Not surprising, as the counters for 700 seats for the first show at Aurora opened on Tuesday, all shows till next Wednesday are ‘houseful’. Of course, the first day will show four shows only “for the true Rajni fans.”
  
  Also, for the first time there will be 18 film prints of any south Indian film that will be flown into Mumbai instead of just three prints. “I have asked for police bandobast as well, both inside and outside the theatre. With so many fans I don’t want a law and order situation. Last time, fans started dancing on the screen platform. And they started throwing flowers and coins. In fact, I have ensured that there are prints divided across the city to avoid such problems.”
  
  Anand Raj, president of the Rajnikanth Fan Club (Maharashtra), whose head office at Dharavi will see fan clubs from across the city and state assemble, will move to Aurora in a procession with 100 litres of milk, flowers and crackers at 6.30 in the morning. “Alarms will wake us at 4 am. Most of us will not sleep. We will have a puja at the temple and pour milk on the Rajnikanth idol at Aurora before we watch our God.”

  It's the writer's opinion!
  
  I agree, Rajini himself mentioned that his style was heavily inspired from Sivaji in GOWRAVAM... Hence the name Rajinikanth!

  Rajni fans to celebrate release of 'Sivaji'
  
  Mumbai, June 15 (PTI): Scores of star-struck fans of superstar Rajnikant in this city will celebrate the release of his new film "Sivaji -- The Boss" with processions and pujas.
  
  Rajnikant fan clubs from across the city will gather at Dharavi in central Mumbai and bring the film's print in a procession from there to Ram Mandir in Matunga early today and perform puja, fan clubs' chief S Nityanand said.
  
  The fans will perform 'abhishekam' (pouring milk) on cut- outs of Rajnikant at Arora theatre in Matunga and distribute sweets and caps before the first show at 8 am, he said.
  
  The fans have spent over Rs 1 lakh for the celebrations, he said.
  
  Nambi Raju, the film's sole distributor for north India, said the movie will be screened in 20 theatres in the region and in eight theatres in Mumbai.
  
  "The response is tremendous and we are expecting several celebrities to watch the movie tomorrow," he said.
  
  Nityanand said huge electronic cut-outs of the star, measuring 20 ft by 15 ft and 30 ft by 15 ft, have been put up and the theatre has been given a fort-like look.
  
  Tickets for the film, which has Rajnikant as its hero and A R Rahman as music director, have been sold out for 20 days in theatres in south India, Raju said.

  Sivaji Review...(From my personal point of view)
  
  - A typical Shankar sir movie (this time it is about black money).
  - A typical Rajni sir movie (with all his styles & dialogues).
  - Rahman sir's backgraound music really AWESOME.
  - The movie is picturised in a very grand manner especially songs.
  - Impressive work from Shankar sir for his superb picturising for all songs.
  - Fight scenes are a bit over (only a little bit, not as bad as Anniyan).
  - Rajni sir has acted very very well. Vivek did a good job though.
  - Not much role/scope for the heroine.
  - Quite a number of scenes contain graphics.
  - There is a scene that includes cars. Rajni will fight baddies using cars and the cars will be flying high, not logic though (it is a major dissapointment for the whole movie)
  - Overall, it's watchable and you will surely enjoy it.
  - Comercial based of movie.
  
  My Rating: 4 Stars out of 5

But even after knowing, the movie was enjoyable!

  i just saw this movie....like everyone says - A typical Shankar movie.....It is really awesome and IMO, it's going to be a blockbuster for sure I was very much disappointed by the first half and honestly, i would have FF'ed the video if there was a remote with me .......second half is excellent .........esp. the last 20 minutes ( mottai rajini) is the highlight ........Rajini looks damn kewl in this get-up ...........it is worth spending 25$ just for this 20 minutes of the movie. He just steals the show completely. Rajini has different get-ups in this movie, but believe me, when you come out of the theatre you will remember only this motta thalaiyan ........simply superb
  
  Shreya is cuuuuuuuuuuutttteee as usual. Infact,she looks more beautiful with all those wonderful costumes .......but, her lip movement doesn't sync with the dialogues......she does that in all her movies and that's shreya .....anyway, she has a lovely look and nice dancing skills.
  
  Songs were good - proves to be a typical shankar picturization....i liked 'athiradi' the most. It had a nice graph. Rajini does a couple of stylish gimmicks in this song, that was really fun to watch. 'Style' song was good too
  
  Stunt was ok......Thalaivar parandhu parandhu adikkirar...........jet li padam paartha maadhiri irundhadhu ...........Peter haynes therindha vithai ellam pottu thaakkitaru pola
  
  i liked the way he dances like Shivaji, MGR and Kamal in small bit tracks. that was cute
  
  something i missed in the movie.........
  - no solo song for Rajini
  - Introduction scene was not so effective
  - BGM - sorry ARR fans, the background score was highly disappointing ( again IMHO)
  - First half ( love track) was so boring.

  2. yaarudA nee? parAsakthi hero , needless to say the audience were shouting on top of their voice in appreciation.
  
  3. Rajini emulates NT/MGR/KH in a dream sequence, again maximum applause

  Nerd,
  Am feeling that you are not going overboard or getting carried away by all the hype in the media.And that's a compliment
  
  BTW,
  When Shankar did this 'One man' against the system first in "Gentleman'it had a lot of spice.The second time around(Indian),it was basically Kamal all the way but the Urmila,Manisha scenes were a drag&the climax a little abrupt&unconvincing.
  
  The third time around(Muthalvan),it became repetitive.
  
  Anniyan(the 4th time)was bad in all aspects-Screenplay,Stunts,Vikram,Sada.
  
  He is dragging his luck a lot by attempting to rework the same theme for a 5th time.
  
  Have no doubts that because of Rajni,Sivaji will be monstrous hit,but is the film worth all the hype?-A genuine answer pls.
  
  Isn't it time Shankar puts an end to this theme?

  Thet theme here is similar but you can surely smell shankar's previous movies. IYou can just *smell*
  
  If you *detest* Rajini this movie is certainly not for you! I know that you are a KH fan and if you liked or at least if you could watch Rajini's bAtshA, then this movie is certainly watchable. The screenplay is certainly gripping, though the movie is very long.
  
  Apart from Rajini, shreya is awesome, has shown some acting as well. Vivek is too good, believe me!
  
  And for those who watched the movie: I think shreya should have acted as chandramukhi,

  AWESOME treat for Rajini fans! It is Shankar's screenplay but Rajini makes the movie come alive. You will see all the facets of Rajini that we have all come to love: The calm self-assured type, the 'Nakkal' type and of course, the 'Style Mannan'. A couple of Kamal fans (one of them a girl) saw this movie with me and liked it a lot.
  This was one movie where I wished they had made the climax longer. Those who have seen the movie will know what I am talking about!
  Come to think of it, a sequel would be great!!!

  Saw the movie today morning 6am show.
  Semma koottam in the theatre.
  about the movie, i think, it did not live upto my expectations.Probably i didn't watch it as a Rajini fan and expected more on the story front. Storyline was unimpressive. 2nd half was better than the first half. Rajini's introduction was fine.
  Now coming to the songs and BGM,
  As a hardcore ARR fan, i shud say honestly that i was dissappointed a lot with the BGM of the movie. The BGM is nowhere near ARR's stunning performances in the BGM department in Mudhalvan or Indian or Padaiyappa or Muthu
  
  Now coming to the songs. I feel Balleilakka was the least impressive. The picturisation was rubbish. Padaiyapa intro song was far better. Infact, this song was not needed at all.
  I was a bit disappointed with Athiradee too.Rest of the songs were fine in all aspects.
  Comedy was ok.
  but the mottai boss scenes were the best.

  Nerd, Am feeling that you are not going overboard or getting carried away by all the hype in the media.And that's a compliment BTW, When Shankar did this 'One man' against the system first in "Gentleman'it had a lot of spice.The second time around(Indian),it was basically Kamal all the way but the Urmila,Manisha scenes were a drag&the climax a little abrupt&unconvincing. The third time around(Muthalvan),it became repetitive. Anniyan(the 4th time)was bad in all aspects-Screenplay,Stunts,Vikram,Sada. He is dragging his luck a lot by attempting to rework the same theme for a 5th time. Have no doubts that because of Rajni,Sivaji will be monstrous hit,but is the film worth all the hype?-A genuine answer pls. Isn't it time Shankar puts an end to this theme?

  
  
  I agree with u cinefan. Shankar is going overboard with this stuff
  I shud say Shankar's repititive, boring theme is the weakest point of the script.

  Nothing surprising as regards the story. Shankar has very limited skills in that department and most of us anyway knew that he will not think beyond what he has done already.

Thet theme here is similar but you can surely smell shankar's previous movies. IYou can just *smell* If you *detest* Rajini this movie is certainly not for you! I know that you are a KH fan and if you liked or at least if you could watch Rajini's bAtshA, then this movie is certainly watchable. The screenplay is certainly gripping, though the movie is very long. Apart from Rajini, shreya is awesome, has shown some acting as well. Vivek is too good, believe me! And for those who watched the movie: I think shreya should have acted as chandramukhi,

  
  
  Nerd,
  
  1)I don't detest Rajni.
  
  2)I am a die-hard Kamal fan
  
  3)I liked Baasha purely for entertainment value&the goose-bumps that Rajni gave me in certain scenes.
  
  But I felt he lost a bit of that charisma in CM.Anyway,me watching Sivaji will happen only next month when all the hype,initial craze dies down&I can get tickets in a multiplex on the day/showtime I want.

  Hi folks,
  I got to see the movie at PVR in New Delhi at 9:00 AM, of course it was house full.
  This is my personal view, I expected a better package from this combo, here are the details.
  
  Positives:
  1. Athiradi Song, well taken.
  2. Rajini's mottai make up and style with it. The sad part was it was the shortest piece in the film. This getup could have been utilised better.
  3. Bella song nice secenary, refreshing to see the nature song.
  What was the hype about nayanthara?
  4. Camera ok, well shot.
  5. Anthony is a good editor, he made the trailor look good.
  
  Negatives:
  1. First half was supposed to be total comedy, ana jokes rombha kammi. Antha livingston did a nice job. Viviek came in lot of scenes anna oru jokum nikkala. Pacing of first half was bad, oru grip illama irunthuthu.
  2. Music shop la oru fightu, supera irrukum oru feeling. Anna antha rap bit totalaa waste pannitarru.
  3. Except for the last fight, all the fights were not upto the mark. anniyan mathiri oru unbelievable fight scene has been repeated, but different setup.
  4. There is chase scene in a drive in theatre, what happended to the execution of the scene?
  5. Second half saved some bad feelings from the first half.
  6. Sankar is merely repeating the themes, and tried to cover too much, could not get deepinto the issue. He is a over hyped director. There is no need for 65-85 crores for the film.
  7. When rajini loses money oru sympathy feeling was not evoked. Watchout for the emotional connection in padaiappa,baadsha,gentleman.
  
  Rajni is great, he did whatever he could but shankar spoilt a lot of things. This movie could have been shot better by any other director, it is rajini who saves the day but i do not want see rajini with shankar again.
  
  
  Repeat audience is a big question mark????

  Sivaji hits screens; first day, first show for Jaya 15 Jun, 2007 l 1218 hrs ISTlPTI CHENNAI: Jubilant fans of superstar Rajnikanth thronged cinema theatres since early hours as his much-awaited film Sivaji - The Boss hit the screens on Friday. AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa was among hundreds of movie buffs who managed to catch AVM Production's mega-budget movie on the first day of its release. A special screening of the movie was arranged at the AVM studio here for the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, who watched the film along with Rajnikanth, producer A V M Saravanan and director Shankar. Chief Minister M Karunanidhi has already watched the movie along with Rajnikant. TDP leader and former Andhra CM N Chandrababu Naidu saw the Telegu version of the movie which also hit the screens on Friday in Hyderabad on Thursday. A wave of enthusiasm swept Tamil Nadu as Rajni's die-hard fans burst crackers and distributed sweets to celebrate the film's release. "Today is a real festival for us as our Thalaivar's (leader) new film has hit the screen after a gap of two years," said Murugan, a member of Rajni's fan club in south Chennai. The film took 19 months to be completed and is said to be the most expensive movie ever produced in India. Huge banners and hoardings were erected in front of cinema halls where Sivaji was released. Fans performed ablution by milk on Rajni's cut-outs and broke coconuts to ward off evil forces. The movie has been released in 17 theatres in Chennai and in over 500 cinema houses all over the state. Tickets for the movie have been sold out for the next three weeks. Directed by Shankar, the film, a fight against the growing use of black money in society, is expected to storm the box-office with its combination of punchy dialogues, comic relief, romance, music and melodrama. Music director A R Rahman and national award-winning cinematographer K V Anand are also part of the Sivaji team. Shreya, the leading lady of the film, shares screen space with Rajni, while former hero Suman plays the powerful villain. Rajni's earlier movie Chandramukhi released in 2005, is still running continuously for more than 800 days, creating a record in the history of South Indian films. A strong contingent of police personnel has been posted in all the theatres to control the crowds.

  So director Shankar has come back from his holiday to Chennai. I am surprised that Rajini along with Shankar and AVM Saravanan has watched the movie with Jayalalithaa.

  Yes.... !!!!!!! Finally saw the movie.. The movie is mind blowing guys.. But I seriously believe that Shankar can have done more..
  
  Highlights
  * Mottai Gambeera Rajni saves the day..
  
  * The comedy in 1st half was brilliant.. Hats off to super* and Vivek.
  
  * Songs Picturisation.. Never seen in any tamil film before.. Especially Vaaji..Vaaji song.. simply awesome..
  
  * Shankars screenplay.. This one to be mentioned coz there alot of twist in the movie..
  
  * Rahman's BGM.. especially in music instrument fight scene..
  
  * Graphics.. speechless..
  
  * Super* dance in Sivaji, MGR and Kamal songs.. naetu raatiri yemma....
  
  * The movie itself starts from black and white Sivaji title..
  
  * There's more than one Rajni in Style song..
  
  Plus
  * Super* especially mottai boss..
  * Viveks and Super* comedy 1st half..
  * Songs picturisation 9/10 ( Vaaji vaaji, Style, Sahana, Athiradee)
  * Screenplay, Rahman music, KV Anand camera, editing and stunts..
  * Raghuvaran
  * Sujatha's dialogues.. -- panni taan kootama varum, singam taniya varum daa..
  * Climax
  * Nayanthara..
  
  Minus
  * Story ( most of the scene's remind us Gentleman, Indian, Mudhalvan, Muthu, Padayappa)
  * Super* dance specially in Ballelakka..
  * Ballelakka song..(exclude Nayan)
  * Shriya was wasted..
  * Suman.. dunt they have any other villain??
  * Gun shoot sounds spoiled the super Athiradee song..
  * Super* intro scene.. how on the earth Shankar thinks that kind of intro for SS??
  
  Overall.. super ultimate movie from Shankar + SS.. I would give it 7/10..
  Dunno wheter HC Rajni fans would like it or not.. Sure Blockbuster.. only time will twll wheter it can break CM record..

  NASS , very close to my review , rather too many minus points...
  
  this MINUS points are not taken in account bcoz fo RAJINI
  
  we all know...
  
  1.Rajini fan needs only rajini in the screen .. NO story needed..
  2. We need not bother about herione too..
  3. the Dance wt RAJINI did is more than enough for BALELAKKA..
  4
  the real MINUS is...
  1. RAjini voice
  2. Intro scene

  Sivaji: A beautiful spectacle of stars
  
  I still remember going to a planetarium holding on to my father's hand to see the constellation. It happened long, long ago but the memory is still fresh in my mind.
  
  I was in a dark auditorium -- there were glittering stars in the dark sky and I looked at them in awe. There were bright stars, and not-so-bright stars; some of them were together, some far away from each other. I jumped up in joy when I spotted a bright star. I clapped when I felt a star was smiling at me. It was a spectacle, an unforgettable spectacle.
  
  Today, after so many years, I am reminded of that particular night inside the planetarium. And what triggered off this memory was Rajnikanth's Sivaji. Inside the dark theatre, I was treated once again to a spectacle for more than three hours. As I watched, I was extremely happy and most of the time, the child in me got very excited.
  
  The first one and a half hours of Sivaji was like looking at a sky full of stars. Do these stars tell you a story and entertain you? Yes, the story is about how a lone man fights a battle against the corrupt system in society. It may be the hospitals that squeeze money from the poor patients; it may be the colleges that extract a lot of money from the students. Joining hands with corruption are the elected representatives. The story is about how this man wins the battle in the end.
  
  It all starts with a person being taken to the jail with his face covered. As the story unfolds, we see an NRI called Sivaji (Rajnikanth) coming to India from the US to serve his country. He wants to open hospitals, schools and colleges for the poor. There are hurdles galore in front of him especially in the form of an avaricious man called Adiseshan (Suman).
  
  Now, which is the brightest star in the dark theatre?
  
  It is this star, the suave Adiseshan, in a spotless white dhoti and shirt and a slight swagger that impressed me the most. Everything about this star is imposing and the 'real big star' pales in the first half.
  
  The second star that made me happy with his one-liners is Sivaji's uncle, played excellently by Vivek. In the first half, it is Vivek's show all the way, and whenever he utters those funny one-liners with a straight face, one cannot but laugh out loud.
  
  The third star is Sujatha, the man who wrote those funny lines. The story is as old as the old wine which the director of the show, Shankar himself has often said. Sujatha makes it up with his sharp and witty dialogues.
  
  Art director Thotta Tharani creates stunning sets for the songs.
  
  Am I impressed with the camera of K V Anand that picturised the stunning spectacle? Yes. Am I impressed with the songs and dances? Yes, with most of them. A R Rahman's songs sound and look definitely better with the dazzling visuals.
  
  As the film progresses, Sivaji gets married to Thamizhselvi (a beautiful Shriya) after wooing her and winning over her family and making us laugh in the bargain.
  
  Flashback over and Sivaji is in jail. Adiseshan and his cronies in the bureaucracy continue to harass him. But Sivaji escapes from their clutches and comes back as M G Ravi Chandran aka MGR. Thus, Sivaji becomes MGR.
  
  And, what an entry it is! From this moment onwards, there is only one star in the sky, the brightest of them all: Sirius. And, that is Rajnikanth. With his bald head, long coat and mannerisms, he is style personified. In the second half, Rajni the star rises like a phoenix and makes up for the lacklustre performance in the first half. The stars of the first half pale in front this star in the next half.
  
  And you come away from the dark theatre impressed with the spectacle composed by Shankar.

  Shivaji - Rajini Sahasarnaamam
  
  1. Rajinikanth :- Well, Rajini has carried the entire movie in his hands aka hanuman carried the parvata mountain.......if theres any hero on whom such a script can fit, its only Rajini, period...the movie is all about Rajini, his style, his walk, his charisma, his performance, his emotions - well, a full meals served to his fans.......after, thalabadhy, i think, i saw, rajini, the performer...... ......we could see the efforts from his side in this movie...........the intro and scenes were pretty different to usual rajini movies, which proves that he is ready to do things differently, if required..on the flip side, i missed the speed and sharpness in his moves in songs and stunt sequences but more than made it up in scenes and punch dialogues...95%
  
  2. A.R.Rahman :- well, you guys like it or not, he was the second major strength in this movie.....the movie starts off with a grandiose BGM and the songs as we know, were oomph.....style and Athiradee sent theatre into ruptures.......and not to forget the whistles that he got in the title........it was second to the BOSS......he has served a very fitting BGM score to rajini's style.......he has a surprise is store for his fans near the climax.... .......ARR seems to be mastering the art of maintaining unique sounds for different characters in the movie......his BGM for suman was superb.....3%
  
  3. Shankar :- where was shankar in shivaji ? this question is still lingering in my mind.......there were no usual shankar's histrionics like close frnd,kith,kin dying, chidambaram/thiruvayyar trips, garuda puranam/varma kala etc.......he just banked on rajini's style and looks in the movie........it was clear that he built a story on rajini's charisma and did not concentrate on his strengths......i think he has given us the best looking rajini in last 20 yrs.... .......but i felt, he missed a few of his usual/interesting punches and screenplay grip in this movie........well, i'm still searching hard for a story in the movie...... ......but it surely was a welcome change from his usual masala.....2%
  
  4. Suman :- Lord Ram is a super hero, because Ravanan was a super villain.....similarly,if Shivaji aka Rajinikanth was a giant in the movie, then Suman was his equal opponent......he did a faboulously controlled role, with minimal agression......current tamil villains need to learn from him on how to look menacing without making noise......he has done a superb role and looked very convincing while standing up to the unrealistically huge image of Shivaji in the movie...... ......he was the surprise package in the movie.........i wud rate him as the third best villain ever for rajini after Antony and Neelambari....
  
  5. Vivek/Shriya/others :- Vivek was at his best in patches.......had regained some timing but still not at his best......he had more of a character role, helping the protoganist........shriya - junk.....this girl cant act.......actually, its not the usual sugary,girly role.....it had substance and it ties a important knot in the movie.......but she totally wasted this chance.....just showing off wont help - cutie pie.....there was plethora of character artistes wasted in the movie....the most noticable wastage was Raghuvaran's character -
  
  Plusses:
  Rajinikanth. period.
  Shankar's ability to hide rajini's age...
  great music
  tolerable screenplay
  2nd half and its pace
  
  Areas of concern:
  a) Rajini fans went mad with this movie......will neutral guys like it? like, will they watch a movie just for rajini's style?
  b) Repeat audience - will we have repeat audience...
  c) Rajini going after shreya was stretched too far, i thought......it really dragged the movie....
  
  well, i got to witness one thing, with this movie......Rajini's mass power......there were all kinds of people - some just had Rs.5 in their pockets, some had laptops in their bags, some had leave letters in their mind but everyone had Rajinikanth in their hearts .....i bow to the spellbinding power of Rajinikanth's charisma which keeps A-C centres exhiliriated....

  No tickets: Chaos at Coliseum
  
  Pandemonium erupted at the Coliseum cinema in Kuala Lumpur last night
  when diehard fans of Tamil superstar Rajnikanth were denied tickets for
  the opening shows of his latest movie.
  
  Hundreds had gathered outside the cinema, some since 8am, in order to
  get tickets for the 10pm and midnight screening of the movie, titled
  Sivaji - The Boss.
  
  However, when it was announced that the tickets were sold out, the angry
  fans accused the cinema management of fraud.
  
  As tempers began to flare, the management called the police.
  
  Some 30 policemen, several armed with machine guns, from the Dang Wangi
  district police headquarters were deployed to the scene. Also spotted
  were members of the Light Strike Force (LSF).
  
  Traffic in the area was reduced to a crawl and the commotion also
  attracted a large number of curious onlookers who had gathered across
  the street.
  
  Despite the heavy police presence, the crowd refused to budge and
  demanded an answer for the unavailability of tickets.
  
  According to them, the ticket counter had opened for only about 15
  minutes before they were told that it was `full house' for both
  shows.
  
  Where are the tickets?
  
  "It was advertised in the newspapers that there would be no advance
  ticket bookings for this movie in Coliseum.
  
  "The cinema can accommodate 800 people, so how did they manage to
  sell more than 1,000 tickets in such a short time?" asked one angry
  fan, 29-year-old bank officer Kamarul Zamari
  
  He said when the counter opened, only about 10 or so people had managed
  to purchase the tickets before it closed.
  
  "So what happened to the other tickets?" interjected another
  upset fan. "Each person is only allowed to purchase five tickets, so
  if 10 people bought five tickets, that would mean 50 tickets were sold.
  Where are the rest?"
  
  Kamarul said every time a Rajni movie is screened at Coliseum, the
  tickets would be sold out at the counter and they would be sold in
  `black' instead.
  
  The `black' tickets for Sivaji - The Boss were reportedly being
  sold for as high as RM45 per piece.
  
  "This happens every time. We must put a full stop to this,"
  stressed Kamarul, who added that he was mulling filing a police report
  as well as bringing the matter to the attention of consumer
  associations.
  
  He said last year when there was a proposal for the government to
  acquire the Coliseum cinema, its owner Dr Chua Seong Siew had appealed
  for public support.
  
  "We supported him and the cinema back then, but look at what
  Coliseum has done to us now," he added.
  
  `Sad and disappointed'
  
  Another fan disappointed and saddened by the incident was Evelyn
  Vincent, 55, who had been watching movies in Coliseum for decades.
  
  "I called Coliseum and they told that you cannot book the tickets.
  So I sent my son here at 8am to get the tickets. He later told me that
  the counter would only open in the evening.
  
  "I called the cinema at 5pm and was told that the counter would open
  at 5.30pm. I rushed here after work and they told me that there were no
  tickets left. I am very disappointed, " said Vincent, who works as a
  tea lady.
  
  Another fan Paul Sambasivam, 20, who had been waiting in vain since
  morning to get a ticket, said he was told by one of the cinema employees
  that VIPs had bought a large chunk of the tickets.
  
  Coliseum manager Sopie Abu, when met, denied that there was any
  wrongdoing.
  
  "The tickets were sold out. This is the same in other cinemas as
  well," he said, adding that the angry crowd had broken one of the
  gates in the building and cracked the glass of the ticket counter.
  
  As the audience for the 10pm show began to file in, they were grilled by
  a policeman, Kamarul and his friends as to how they obtained their
  tickets.
  
  Some claimed they had booked the tickets earlier, while others said they
  had bought the tickets in the afternoon. A few also owned up to buying
  `black' tickets.
  
  Enraged cop
  
  Those with tickets were jeered by the hundreds who were outside the
  locked gates of the cinema.
  
  At one point, a man clad in a police jacket was spotted entering the
  cinema and when he was mocked for buying a `black ticket', the
  enraged policeman whipped out a pair of handcuffs and charged towards
  Kamarul.
  
  However, he was pacified by another police officer at the scene.
  
  The crowd also detained a man suspected of selling `black'
  tickets and handed him over to the police.
  
  Meanwhile, Chief Inspector S Nathan, who was heading the police team,
  advised the public not to buy `black' tickets as this would only
  encourage the menace.
  
  Sivaji - The Boss is expected to set a record for its collections.
  
  The movie, which has been released simultaneously in several countries,
  is distributed in Malaysia by Pyramid Saimara - a company co-owned by S
  Vel Paari, the son of MIC president and Works Minister S Samy Vellu.

  [tscii]Any price is a good price for a ticket to Rajinikanth's new movie Sivaji the Boss at theatres across Tamil Nadu and even in Bangalore this week. There was madness on Friday as the movie hit the theatres. And as the mad rush began to the theatres, the ticket prices soured to unheard-of levels.
  
  
  In Chennai, for instance, tickets for all shows for the first 10 days were sold out in just two hours in over in all the 15 screens where the film has been released. Now, there are no tickets available until June-end. Those ready to pay a premium on the ticket are buying them for as high as Rs 1,900 or more per ticket.
  
  
  While the maniacal response in Tamil Nadu is understandable considering the hype and emotions attached to Rajini's comeback film, what came as a big surprise was the way the film caught the fancy of silicon valley in Bangalore.
  
  
  In Bangalore, the Telugu version of the movie was released in 13 screens, including three multiplexes. And guess what: it's the techies who went for the bulk of ticket bookings for the first few shows of the movie. And nobody seems to be minding the premium they were paying for the tickets.
  
  
  An IBNlive reader from Bangalore sent us a receipt, which shows an IT firm booked one entire theatre for Friday's second show at Innovative Multiplex, Bangalore, paying as high as Rs 903 per ticket. The total amount paid for 75 tickets for the show is shown to be Rs 67,751. In fact, the theatre saw a beeline of corporate guys and single-friends networks on the first day of the movie.
  
  
  In Chennai's popular six-screen multiplex Mayajal too, all the 27 shows of Sivaji everyday for the first week-end were booked in bulk by employee-groups of Cognizant, Virtusa and ICICI among others.
  
  
  As tickets for the movie have become exhausted, a virtual auction for Shivaji tickets has begun even on the Net. "A ticket for Shivaji movie is available in Chennai. Interested quote your buying price within 2 days," says an auction ad on a prominent website.
  
  
  "A ticket for Shivaji movie is available in Bangalore, interested quote buying price within a week," goes another.
  
  
  Similar rush was reported even in Australia and New Zealand, to Malaysia and Singapore, and then on to Europe and further west to the US and Canada
  
  
  In Malaysia and Singapore, long queues were witnessed as eager fans rushed early in the morning to book tickets. In Australia and New Zealand, tickets for Sivaji have been priced double of the normal charge for a Tamil movie. In the US, too, where a fair number of techies are gearing up to celebrate their superstar’s new release with special premiers in Detroit and Imax shows in Indianapolis, the ticket prices for Sivaji reportedly zoomed to $25.
  
  
  "We purchased some tickets for Tamil movie Shivaji for the premier show. But, unfortunately two of our friends will not be able to make it. So if anybody is looking for tickets, please contact me at XYZWYZ. Will give you the tickets for the same price I purchased ($25 each)," says a message on the on a community portal.

  STORY : Usuall Shankar story with a message to public...

  
  
  

  Quote:

  BTW, When Shankar did this 'One man' against the system first in "Gentleman'it had a lot of spice.The second time around(Indian),it was basically Kamal all the way but the Urmila,Manisha scenes were a drag&the climax a little abrupt&unconvincing. The third time around(Muthalvan),it became repetitive. Anniyan(the 4th time)was bad in all aspects-Screenplay,Stunts,Vikram,Sada. He is dragging his luck a lot by attempting to rework the same theme for a 5th time. Have no doubts that because of Rajni,Sivaji will be monstrous hit,but is the film worth all the hype?-A genuine answer pls. Isn't it time Shankar puts an end to this theme?

  
  
  

  Quote:

  Thet theme here is similar but you can surely smell shankar's previous movies. IYou can just *smell*

  
  
  

  Quote:

  I agree with u cinefan. Shankar is going overboard with this stuff Evil or Very Mad I shud say Shankar's repititive, boring theme is the weakest point of the script.

  
  
  

  Quote:

  6. Sankar is merely repeating the themes, and tried to cover too much, could not get deepinto the issue. He is a over hyped director. There is no need for 65-85 crores for the film.

  
  
  Ippo enna sollreenga Kb sir? At least now there are ppl realising that shankar is nothing but a uninspiring and uncreative director...Now rajini fans don't start bashing I am not agianst Rajini here but i just hate the way shankar getting away with his repeptive stuffs...Now he is gonna get away again purely due to Rajini...I am also hoping for Shivaji to run for a long time and have a even greater success then CM then we can show the northies who we are and after Dasa TF should be concluded the best

  Quote:

  Sivaji-The Boss, Rajnikanth's latest offering, is released all across Maharashtra with a record 17 prints, making it a milestone of sorts. Regional films would usually have a one-print release and that too only in metros such as Mumbai. But Sivaji is attempting to change the dynamics a bit - the film will be simultaneously released in Nagpur, Kolhapur and Aurangabad, among other centers. It is also for the first time that a Tamil film is being released in more than five multiplexes in Mumbai. If Aurora has Rajnikanth fans blocking tickets, then PVR Mulund has A R Rahman fans taking over a couple of shows. Ranjan Singh of PVR, which will also screen Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, said the advance booking for both films has been fantastic. Trade pundits predict that Sivaji will put up a big show, with multiplexes even in countries like Malaysia, China and Japan lining up its release. Sivaji will be a huge draw considering the sizeable south Indian population. They also say the day is not far when southern films will be screened in Mumbai with subtitles.

  From all quarters, Sivaji seems to have attained the blockbuster status in just a couple of days. I need to wait another couple of days before actually getting to see it
  
  Hopefully, some of the hubbers can douse their envies and just enjoy the wave this movie is creating...

  Shivaji - Rajini Sahasarnaamam 1. Rajinikanth :- Well, Rajini has carried the entire movie in his hands aka hanuman carried the parvata mountain.......if theres any hero on whom such a script can fit, its only Rajini, period...the movie is all about Rajini, his style, his walk, his charisma, his performance, his emotions - well, a full meals served to his fans.......after, thalabadhy, i think, i saw, rajini, the performer...... ......we could see the efforts from his side in this movie...........the intro and scenes were pretty different to usual rajini movies, which proves that he is ready to do things differently, if required..on the flip side, i missed the speed and sharpness in his moves in songs and stunt sequences but more than made it up in scenes and punch dialogues...95% 2. A.R.Rahman :- well, you guys like it or not, he was the second major strength in this movie.....the movie starts off with a grandiose BGM and the songs as we know, were oomph.....style and Athiradee sent theatre into ruptures.......and not to forget the whistles that he got in the title........it was second to the BOSS......he has served a very fitting BGM score to rajini's style.......he has a surprise is store for his fans near the climax.... .......ARR seems to be mastering the art of maintaining unique sounds for different characters in the movie......his BGM for suman was superb.....3% 3. Shankar :- where was shankar in shivaji ? this question is still lingering in my mind.......there were no usual shankar's histrionics like close frnd,kith,kin dying, chidambaram/thiruvayyar trips, garuda puranam/varma kala etc.......he just banked on rajini's style and looks in the movie........it was clear that he built a story on rajini's charisma and did not concentrate on his strengths......i think he has given us the best looking rajini in last 20 yrs.... .......but i felt, he missed a few of his usual/interesting punches and screenplay grip in this movie........well, i'm still searching hard for a story in the movie...... ......but it surely was a welcome change from his usual masala.....2% 4. Suman :- Lord Ram is a super hero, because Ravanan was a super villain.....similarly,if Shivaji aka Rajinikanth was a giant in the movie, then Suman was his equal opponent......he did a faboulously controlled role, with minimal agression......current tamil villains need to learn from him on how to look menacing without making noise......he has done a superb role and looked very convincing while standing up to the unrealistically huge image of Shivaji in the movie...... ......he was the surprise package in the movie.........i wud rate him as the third best villain ever for rajini after Antony and Neelambari.... 5. Vivek/Shriya/others :- Vivek was at his best in patches.......had regained some timing but still not at his best......he had more of a character role, helping the protoganist........shriya - junk.....this girl cant act.......actually, its not the usual sugary,girly role.....it had substance and it ties a important knot in the movie.......but she totally wasted this chance.....just showing off wont help - cutie pie.....there was plethora of character artistes wasted in the movie....the most noticable wastage was Raghuvaran's character - Plusses: Rajinikanth. period. Shankar's ability to hide rajini's age... great music tolerable screenplay 2nd half and its pace Areas of concern: a) Rajini fans went mad with this movie......will neutral guys like it? like, will they watch a movie just for rajini's style? b) Repeat audience - will we have repeat audience... c) Rajini going after shreya was stretched too far, i thought......it really dragged the movie.... well, i got to witness one thing, with this movie......Rajini's mass power......there were all kinds of people - some just had Rs.5 in their pockets, some had laptops in their bags, some had leave letters in their mind but everyone had Rajinikanth in their hearts .....i bow to the spellbinding power of Rajinikanth's charisma which keeps A-C centres exhiliriated....

  Seems like Shankar has stuffed in all of Rajini's old gimmicks into the ATHIRADEE song, so that it doesnt look unrealistic in the storyline, but still would satisfy some really hardcore fans! And Shankar seems to have been very CREATIVE in his songs, atleast the 4 I've seen so far...

  With this kind of support and a rousing welcome to a movie star and his product, it begs the question:
  
  Does any other film industry or film or actor get this kind of adulation and welcome?
  As for Hollywood, the only time anything close to this happened in US theaters was when Star Wars I released (Phantom Menace) and the crowd went nuts at the title scroll. But, that was only for the FDFS and only for the title sequence. After that it was all back to normal.

  thanks, Nerd for appreciating my review .......well, reg ARR part, i think i got a bit carried away with crowd reaction .....seriously, the entire crowd went ga-ga over the music...... ....ask ajaybaskar, if u have doubts
  
  reg shreya - ennathhayya pannanga avanga?? super-a train niruthunaanga........avulavaudhaan..... ......ppl. started to bad mouth her in theater ......"thalaiva, indha ponnu venaam thalaiva"
  
  but i was so happy abt Suman.....super surprise............he was so handsome
  
  so far so good.......both rajini fans and neutral fan's comments have been good......but will have to wait for the hype to settle down, when the real strength of the movie - will be tested......
  
  also, do u think movie was 50 crores+udget b???

  Today morning 'pyramid samira' share opened high. after shivaji result out , It tumbled around 40 Rs in a single day(morning it was 380. at the end it closed to 340)
  
  AV marks will be around 39 or 40(due to Rajini and shankar)

  Perhaps you are too young to know about the one and only Sylvester
  Stallone. He has millions of fans across the globe. And his last movie Rocky Balboa was a massive hit. People didn't mind watching a 60+ actor take on a youth in a boxing bout. You won't believe he is 60+( Son of a gun ). Watch out for his next movie , another potential blockbuster John Rambo.

  Even in northern India, the response to the film was "remarkable", said theatre officials in Delhi. A subtitled version of Sivaji released in two multiplexes in Delhi and two in Gurgaon had attracted large audiences, they said.
  
  "Being a regional film, we didn't expect it to do so well. It is doing remarkably well and is house-full till Wednesday," Head of Sales and Marketing, PVR Cinemas, Shalu Sabharwal told PTI.

  Maddy nice review, but you have to realize that the reason why rajini contributed 95% to the film (according to ur review) is because of Shankar. Shankar is the reason why we see rajini as he is in the movie. So i think he has to be given credit for that.

  சிவாஜி திரைப்படத்தைப் புறக்கணியுங்கள்! -
  
  
  ரஜனிகாந்த் ஊடாக மாபெரும் சீரழிவு ஒன்று உருவாகி வருகிறது
  தேவன் வரப் போகின்றார் தேவன் வந்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றார்" இதோ தேவன் வந்து விட்டார்" என்பது போன்ற தெய்வீகச் செய்திகளுக்கு மேலாக இதோ ரஜனிகாந்தின் சிவாஜி வரப் போகிறது" என்ற பரபரப்பான செய்திகள்தான் இன்று தமிழ்நாட்டையும் தமிழர்கள் புலம்பெயர்ந்து வாழும் தேசங்களையும் ஆக்கிரமித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கின்றன. தமிழகத்தின் வணிகப் பத்திரிகைகளும் உலகின் தமிழ் இணையத்தளங்களும் இதைத்தான் எழுதிக் கொண்டிருக்கின்றன. இந்த தேவனின் வருகைக்காக தமிழ் மக்களும் புலம்பெயர்ந்துள்ள தமிழ் உறவுகளும் ஏங்கித் தவித்த நிற்பது போன்ற தோற்றம் கூட உருவாகிவிட்டது. அது உண்மையாகக் கூட இருக்கலாம்.
  
  சுப்பர் ஸ்ரார் என்கின்ற ஆங்கில சொற்தொடரை தனது பெருமையாகக் கொண்டிருக்கும் சிவாஜிராவ் என்கின்ற கன்னடனை முன்னிறுத்தி செயற்படுகின்ற இந்த ஆர்ப்பாட்டங்களின் ஊடாக தமிழன் எவ்வாறு திசை திருப்பப்பட்டு அவனது பண்பாடும் எதிர்காலமும் எவ்வாறு சிதைக்கப்படுகிறது என்பது குறித்து பலருக்கு அக்கறை இல்லை. ரஜனிகாந்த் ஊடாக மாபெரும் சீரழிவு ஒன்று உருவாகி வருகிறது அல்லது உருவாகிவிட்டது என்றே சொல்ல வேண்டும்.
  
  ரஜனிகாந்த் மட்டும்தான் இந்த சீரழிவை செய்கிறாரா மற்றவர்கள் செய்யவில்லையா என்று கேள்வி கேட்பவர்களும் இருக்கத்தான் செய்கிறார்கள். ஒரு தவறைக் கொண்டு இன்னொரு தவறை நியாயப்படுத்தக்கூடாது. அது மட்டும் அல்லாமல் இன்று வரை அல்லது நேற்றுவரை தமிழக சினிமாவில் ரஜனிகாந்த் என்கின்ற நடிகர் மீது தமிழ்நாட்டு மக்கள் கொண்டிருப்பதாக சொல்லப்படும் திரைப்பட மோகமும் சாதாரணமானது அல்ல. அவருடைய தாக்கமும் வீச்சும் முக்கியமாக கவனத்தில் எடுக்கப்பட வேண்டிய ஒன்றாகும்.
  
  இன்று தமிழ்நாட்டு திரைப்பட ரசிகர்களின் ஆதரவு காரணமாக பணமும் புகழும் பெற்று வாழ்ந்து வருகின்ற ரஜனிகாந்த் என்கின்ற கன்னட மனிதரின் பண்பாட்டு சீரழிவுத் திரைப்படங்கள் செய்கின்ற தாக்கம் ஒருபுறம் இருக்கட்டும். ரஜனிகாந்த் என்கின்ற ஒரு மனிதரை ஒரு கன்னடன் என்று சொல்லி தமிழர்களிடம் இருந்து அந்நியம் பேசுவது சரியா? அதனை தமிழர்கள் செய்யலாமா? என்று சில நியாயமான கேள்விகளும் எழுகின்றன. அவைகளுக்கு உரிய பதில் என்ன?
  
  அவைகளுக்கு உரிய பதிலும் ரஜனிகாந்திடம் இருந்தே வருகின்றது. வந்தும் இருக்கின்றது. ரஜனிகாந்த் எப்போதுமே தன்னை ஒரு கன்னட வெறியன் என்று காட்டியும் நடந்தும் வந்திருக்கிறார் என்பது இங்கே சுட்டிக்காட்டத்தக்கது. சில பழைய சம்பவங்களை சொல்வது இங்கே பொருத்தமாக இருக்கும்.
  
  ரஜனிகாந்த் முன்னாள் சிவாஜிராவாக இருந்த போது செய்த பல தொழில்களில் ஒன்றான மூட்டை தூக்கும் வேலையை செய்து கொண்டிருக்கும் போது கன்னட பாதுகாப்பு இயக்கம்" என்கின்ற கன்னட தீவிர இயக்கத்தின் உறுப்பினராக இருந்து வந்தார். அந்தக் காலகட்டத்தில் கலைஞர் கருணாநிதியின் படைப்பில் எம்ஜிஆர் அவர்கள் நடித்த காஞ்சித் தலைவன்" என்ற திரைப்படம் கர்நாடகாவில் திரையிடப்பட்டது. அதில் கன்னட மன்னன் ஒருவனை தாழ்த்தி சில வசனங்கள் சொல்லப்பட்டிருந்தன.
  
  இதற்கு தங்கள் கன்னடத்தை (கண்டனத்தை) காட்டுவதற்காக தமிழர்களின் பல கடைகள் அடித்து நொறுக்கப்பட்டன. அதனை முன்னின்று செய்தவர் யார் தெரியுமா? வேறு யாருமில்லை. தமிழ்நாட்டின் இன்றைய சுப்பர் ஸ்ரார் ரஜனிகாந்தான் அதை முன்னின்று செய்தார். இன்றைய தினம் வரை ரஜனிகாந்த் கன்னட பாதுகாப்பு இயக்கத்தின்" உறுப்பினராகத்தான் இருக்கிறார். அவருடைய அண்ணன் சத்தியநாராயணா இந்த இயக்கத்தின் ஒரு அமைப்பாளராகவும் இருக்கின்றார்.
  
  இது குறித்து கன்னட தீவிரவாத இயக்கமான சளுவளி இயக்கத்தின் தலைவரான வட்டாள் நாகராஜ் 1992 ஆம் ஆண்டு ஜனவரி 4 ஆம் திகதி வெளிவந்த சுடச் சுடச் செய்தி" என்ற பத்திரிகைக்கு தெளிவாகவே செவ்வி அளித்துள்ளார். அதில் அவர் தெரிவிக்கையில் இங்கே தமிழர்களின் கடைகளை அடித்து நொருக்குவதற்கு சிவாஜிராவ்தான் முன்னணியில் நிற்பான் ஏனென்றால் அவனுக்கு தமிழர்களை கண்டாலே பிடிக்காது சிவாஜிராவ் நம்ம பையன் அவரை நாம் புரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும் அத்தோடு சத்தியநாராயணாவின் பிள்ளைகள் கன்னட இளைஞர் முன்னணி" என்ற அமைப்பையும் ஆரம்பித்துள்ளார்கள் அப்படி ரஜனிகாந்தின் குடும்பமே கன்னடர்களுக்கு ஆதரவாக உள்ளது தன்னுடைய படம் தமிழ்நாட்டில் ஓட வேண்டும் என்பதற்காக அவர் செய்கின்ற தமிழர் ஆதரவுப் பேச்சுக்களை நாம் பொருட்படுத்தக் கூடாது" என்று தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.
  
  தமிழ்த் திரைப்படங்கள் அனைத்தும் கர்நாடகத்தில் ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட காலத்தின் பின்பே திரையிடப்பட முடியும் என்ற நிலை இருக்கின்ற போது ரஜனியின் சிவாஜி" திரைப்படம் மட்டும் உடனடியாகவே எவ்வித பிரச்சனையும் இன்றி கர்நாடகத்தில் திரையிடப்பட முடிவதன் ரகசியமும் இதுதான்.
  
  1991 ஆம் ஆண்டு கர்நாடகாவில் ஆயிரக்கணக்கில் தமிழர்கள் கொல்லப்பட்டு மேலும் ஆயிரக்கணக்கானோர் அகதியாக ஓடி வந்து வந்த போதும் இந்த ரஜனிகாந்த் அவர்களுக்காக வாய் திறக்கவில்லை. நெய்வேலியில் தமிழ்நாட்டு திரையுலகம் பேரணி நடத்திய போது தனித்து உண்ணாவிரதம் இருந்து ஒற்றுமைக்கு உலை வைத்தார்.
  
  தமிழ்நாட்டு ரசிகர்களின் ஆதரவால் தான் பெற்ற கோடிக்கணக்கான செல்வத்தை ரஜனிகாந்த் இன்று கர்நாடாகவிலேயே பெரும்பாலும் முதலீடு செய்து தொழிற்சாலைகளும் மற்றும் வியாபாரங்களுமாக நடத்தி தனது இனத்திற்கு உதவி செய்வது ஒரு விதத்தில் பாராட்டப்படக் கூடியதுதான். தான் எங்கு சென்று உழைத்தாலும் தனது இன மக்களும் மாநிலமும் பயன்பெற வேண்டும் என்கின்ற அவரது கன்னடப்பற்றும் பாராட்டுக்கு உரியதுதான்.
  
  ஆனால் வேறொரு இனத்தினை (தமிழ் இனத்தை) ஏமாற்றியும் அவர்களை முட்டாள்கள் ஆக்கியும் அந்த இனத்தின் இலட்சக்கணக்கான இளைஞர்களின் எதிர்காலத்தை பாழ்படுத்தியும் அதன் மூலம் தன்னுடைய இனத்திற்கு உதவி செய்வது என்பது கண்டிக்கத்தக்கது.
  
  வீரப்பன் கடத்திச் சென்ற கன்னட நடிகர் ராஜ்குமாரை ஐயா பழநெடுமாறன் அவர்களும் நக்கீரன் கோபால் அவர்களும் காடு சென்று பேச்சுவார்த்தைகள் நடத்தி மீட்டு வந்த போது நடிகர் ரஜனிகாந்த் தமிழ்நாட்டில் இருந்து கொண்டு ஒரு அறிக்கை விடுத்தார். அதில் குறிப்பாக நக்கீரன் பத்திரிகை ஆசிரியர் கோபால் அவர்களுக்கு ஒரு பாராட்டை தெரிவித்திருக்கின்றார். ரஜனி அந்தப் பாராட்டில் என்ன சொன்னார் தெரியுமா?
  
  நீங்கள் செய்த இந்த முயற்சி காரணமாக கர்நாடகாவில் தமிழர்களின் ரத்த ஆறு ஓடுவது தவிர்க்கப்பட்டு உள்ளது"
  
  சும்மா இருந்த சங்கை ஊதிக் கெடுத்தானாம் ஆண்டி" என்கின்ற மாதிரி கன்னடர்களை தமிழர்களுக்கு எதிராக கிளப்புகின்ற அறிக்கையை ரஜனிகாந்த் வெளியிட்டார். அட வீரப்பன் என்கின்றவர் ராஜ்குமார் என்கின்ற நடிகரை கடத்தினால் ஏன் கர்நாடகத்து தமிழர்கள் இரத்தம் சிந்த வேண்டும்? ஏன் அப்படி ஒரு சிந்தனையை தமிழ்நாட்டில் வாழுகின்ற இந்த ராஜனிகாந்த் என்கின்ற நடிகர் சொல்கிறார்?
  
  கர்நாடகத் தமிழர்கள் இரத்தம் சிந்தினால் தமிழ்நாட்டில் கன்னடர்களின் இரத்தம் ஆறாக ஓடும்" என்று யாராவது கர்நாடகத்தில் சொல்லி இருக்க முடியுமா? சொல்லியிருந்தால் அவர்கள் கதி என்னவாகி இருக்கும்? அதுதான் தமிழ்நாட்டிற்கும் கர்நாடகாவிற்கும் உள்ள வித்தியாசம்.
  
  அன்று தனது பாபா" திரைப்படத்திற்கு அதிகூடிய கட்டணத்தில் நுழைவுச் சீட்டுக்களை விற்பதற்கு அனுமதியை பெறவேண்டும் என்பதற்காக அன்றைய தமிழ்நாட்டு முதல்வர் செல்வி ஜெயலலிதாவிற்கு சத்தியநாராயணா மூலம் மலர்க்கொத்து ஒன்றினை அனுப்பி சமாதானத் தூது விட்ட இந்த ரஜனிகாந்த் சில வருடங்களிற்கு முன்பும் செல்வி ஜெயலலிதாவிற்கு அன்புடன் ஒரு வேண்டுகோளையும் விடுத்திருந்தார்.
  
  ஒரு பொதுக்கூட்டத்தில் முதலமைச்சராக இருந்த ஜெயலலிதாவின் முன்னிலையில் ரஜனிகாந்த் பேசும் போது சொல்கிறார் அம்மா விடுதலைப் புலிகளால் மட்டும் உங்களுக்கு ஆபத்து வரும் என்று நினைக்காதீர்கள்! இங்கேயும் சில புலிகளால் உங்களுக்கு ஆபத்து வரலாம்! ஆகவே கவனமாக இருங்கள்! - இது ரஜனிகாந்தின் அன்பான அறிவுரை!
  
  இந்த ரஜனிகாந்த் 2001 ஈழத் தமிழர்களின் தேசியப் பிரச்சனை குறித்து பேசும் போது இது புராணங்கள் எமக்கு தருகின்ற விளக்கம்" என்று புதிராக கருத்தினை வெளியிட்டார். தந்தை பெரியாரின் சீர்திருத்தக் கருத்துக்கள் இன்றைய காலகட்டத்திற்கு ஒத்து வராது என்று முன்னர் சொன்ன போது ரஜனிக்கு எதிராக பல கண்டனங்கள் எழுந்தன. அப்போது ரஜனியை காப்பாற்ற ஓடோடி வந்தவர் வேறு யாருமில்லை. தந்தை பெரியாரின் பாசறையில் பயின்ற கலைஞர் கருணாநிதிதான். பெரியாருக்கு எதிராக ரஜனி சொன்ன கருத்துக்களை மழுப்பி அறிக்கை ஒன்றை விட்டு நிலைமையை சமாளித்த கருணாநிதி ரஜனியை கண்டிக்கக்கூட இல்லை.
  
  தமிழ்நாட்டு தமிழர்களை சிந்திக்க விடாமல் திரைப்பட மாயையில் அமிழ்த்தி வைத்திருக்கும் அதிகார சக்திகளின் ஒரு கருவிதான் இந்த ரஜனிகாந்த் என்பதில் ஐயமில்லை. ரஜனிகாந்த் என்கின்ற கருவி மழுங்கிப் போனால் புதிய ஒரு முகத்தை உருவாக்கும் பணியில் இந்தச் சக்திகள் இறங்கக்கூடும் என்பதையும் நாம் உணர வேண்டும்.
  
  இதேவேளை தமிழ்நாட்டு தமிழர்களை மட்டும் இந்த திரைப்பட மாயை பாதிக்கவில்லை. இதற்கு பலம் சேர்த்து உலகம் எங்கும் பரவச் செய்ய உறுதுணையாக இருப்பதில் புலம் பெயர்ந்த ஈழத் தமிழர்களுக்கு பெரும் பங்கு உண்டு. இன்று தமிழகத்தின் மிகப் பெரிய தயாரிப்பாளர்களும் இயக்குனர்களும் நடிகர்களும் நம்பி இருப்பதும் தங்கி இருப்பதும் புலம்பெயர்ந்த தமிழர்களின் பணத்தைத்தான்.
  
  தமிழ்ப் படங்களின் பெயர்களை ஆங்கிலத்தில் முன்பு வைத்ததற்கும் பாடல்கள் ஆங்கிலத்தில் பாடப்படுவதற்கும் வசனங்கள் தமிங்கிலத்தில் பேசப்படுவதற்கும் தமிழனின் பண்பாடு பகிரங்கத்தில் சீரழிக்கப்படுவதற்கும் காரணமாக இருக்கின்ற தமிழ்நாட்டில் வாழும் மார்வாடிப் பண முதலீட்டார்களக்கு கைகொடுத்து உதவுவது எமது புலம்பெயர்ந்த தமிழர்களே.
  
  இந்திய - சீன யுத்தத்தின் போதும் கார்க்கில் போரின் போதும் மற்றைய வேறு பிரச்சினைகளின் போதும் நிதி சேகரித்துக் கொடுப்பதில் இந்தியாவிலேயே தமிழ்நாட்டு திரைப்படத் துறையினர்தான் முன்னிற்கிறார்கள். அவர்களுடைய வருவாயில் முக்கிய பங்கை செய்கின்ற புலம்பெயர்ந்த தமிழர்களின் இரத்த உறவுகள் கொடிய அடக்குமுறையில் துன்பப்படுகின்ற போது இந்தத் திரைப்படத்துறையினர் என்ன செய்து கிழித்தார்கள்?
  
  தென்னாபிரிக்காவில் நிறவெறி என்றவுடன் அந்த நாட்டுடன் விளையாட்டுப் போட்டிகளை தவிர்த்த நாடுகளும் மக்களும் உண்டு. சீனாவில் மனித உரிமை மீறல்களுக்காக அவர்களின் உற்பத்திப் பொருட்களை வாங்க மறுத்தவர்கள் உண்டு. அதே போல் தமிழ் இனப் பண்பாட்டின் சீரழிவை மொழிக் கொலையை நாம் ஏன் எமது செலவில் இறக்குமதி செய்ய வேண்டும்?
  
  இதற்கு தீர்வாக பலர் பலதரப்பட்ட கருத்துக்களை சொல்கிறார்கள். இது நடைமுறைச் சாத்தியம்தானா இதற்கு அனைத்து புலம்பெயர்ந்த தமிழ் மக்களும் ஒத்துழைப்பார்களா என்ற யதார்த்தமான கேள்வியையும் சிலர் கேட்கிறார்கள். திரைப்படங்களை திரையில் பார்க்காது ஒளிநாடாக்களிலும் குறுவெட்டுக்களிலும் பார்க்கலாம் என்று சிலர் மாற்றுத் தீர்வு யோசனை சொல்கிறார்கள்.
  
  தமிழ்நாட்டின் அரசியலையும் பொருளாதாரத்தையும் தீர்மானிக்கின்ற மிக முக்கியமான சக்தியாக இன்று தமிழ் திரையுலகம் விளங்குகின்றது. கலைஞரின் வார்த்தைகளை கடன் வாங்கினால் அது இன்று கொடியவர்களின் கூடாரமாக விளங்கி வருகின்றது". ஆனால் இந்தக் கொடியவர்களின் கூடாரம் இன்று புலம்பெயர்ந்த தமிழர்களின் ஆதரவையும் நம்பித்தான் இயங்குகின்றது என்பதை நாம் மறந்துவிடக் கூடாது.
  
  புலம்பெயர்ந்த தமிழ் மக்கள் மஹாத்மா காந்தியின் வழியில் கொடுக்கக்கூடிய புறக்கணிப்புக்கள் வணிக ரீதியில் தமிழ்நாட்டு அரசை மட்டும் அல்ல மத்திய அரசையும் வழிக்குக் கொண்டு வருவதற்கு ஒரு வழியில் உதவக்கூடும்.
  
  புலம்பெயர்ந்து வாழுகின்ற எமது உறவுகளே! உங்கள் அனைவருக்கும் உரிமையோடும் உறவோடும் தாயகத்தில் இருந்து நாம் முன்வைக்கின்ற வேண்டுகோளை தயவு செய்து செவிமடுக்குமாறு கேட்டுக் கொள்கிறோம்.
  
  நமக்கு உதவாத நமக்கு எதிரான இந்தக் கேவலமான கீழ்த்தரமான நடிகர்களினதும் தயாரிப்பாளர்களினதும் திரைப்படத்தை புறக்கணியுங்கள். இவற்றை வாங்கி வெளியிடுகின்ற அன்பு உறவுகளுக்கும் இதே வேண்டுகோளைத்தான் நாம் முன்வைக்கின்றோம். அன்று எம்ஜிஆர் என்கின்ற நடிகர் தமிழ்த் தேசியத்திற்கு முன்னின்று உதவினார். இன்று ரஜனி என்கின்ற நடிகர் சுயநலத்திற்காக தமிழ்த்தாயை உதைக்கின்றார்.
  
  புலம்பெயர்ந்த உறவுகளே! உங்களின் சிவாஜிப் படப் புறக்கணிப்பு நீங்கள் எடுத்து வைக்கின்ற முதல் அடியாக இருக்கட்டும். அதுவே நீங்கள் கொடுக்கின்ற முதல் இடியாகவும் இருக்கட்டும். இந்த இடி பேரிடியாக எதிர்காலத்தில் மாறட்டும். இன்று இங்கே அல்லல்பட்டு அகதிகளாக ஓடித்திரிகின்ற எமது உறவுகளுக்கு உங்களின் இந்த நடவடிக்கை தேவனின் உண்மையான வருகையாக அமையட்டு&#

  Sivaji is a treat for the fans who come looking this kind of fantasy-filled entertainment. Rajni and Shankar have avoided being pretentious and gone for the commercial jugular with a vengeance.

  Sivaji does not disappoint but neither does it completely sweep you off your feet. It is a fun film with a human touch.
  
  It has its own flavour with its Robin Hood ideologies which is sure to strike a chord with the masses. Watch this one for the sheer hype and the excitement.

  Pyramid Saimira sees 250 mln profit from 'Sivaji'
  Fri Jun 15, 2007 6:30 PM IST
  
  MUMBAI (Reuters) - Cinema chain operator Pyramid Saimira Theatre Ltd. expects about 250 million rupees in cash profit from the first-month screening of the much-awaited Tamil film 'Sivaji' in India, a top official said.
  
  The Tamil language movie, which opened on Friday, stars southern Indian superstar Rajnikanth, 57, and comes with a dubbed version in Telugu language.
  
  Pyramid is distributing the movie in southern India and Malaysia, besides exhibiting it across 678,000 seats a day, Managing Director P.S. Saminathan told Reuters over the phone.
  
  "Going by the response of the audience and the advanced booking, this might run for 100 days also," he said earlier on television.
  
  Saminathan said he expected a revenue of 500 million rupees from screening the movie in India and another 150 million rupees from Malaysia, where it has been booked for three weeks.
  
  The company has invested about 260 million rupees into this film.

  Sivaji - The Boss (2007)
  
  Well done, Rajinikanth, Director Shankar and AVM. Their celluloid masterpiece, "Sivaji: the Boss" is set to make history, smashing all previous records. What sets this 84-crore budget mega movie apart is its technical superiority, the inimitable Rajini style and Shankar's master touch. The film can be compared to the best of Hollywood movies. State-of-the art technical gizmos and advanced digital processes were extensively used for high quality visual effects.

  Rajni Mania Grips Andhra Pradesh Too!
  Friday 15th of June 2007 Andhra Pradesh was swept by Rajnikant mania Friday as the Tamil superstar's much-awaited film 'Sivaji: The Boss' hit screens across the state, with people queuing up for tickets since early morning.
  
  Amid unprecedented craze and enthusiasm by Rajni fans, the Telugu version of the film was released in 300 theatres with tickets being booked for the next 15 days in all cinema halls.
  
  The film was released in 40 theatres in Hyderabad alone and lower-priced tickets, which were not open for advance booking, were sold out within a few minutes of the counters opening.
  
  The film distributors of Andhra Pradesh have bought the movie's rights for a whopping Rs.180 million for the first round of three weeks, breaking the record of Telugu mega star Chiranjeevi's films.
  
  Rajnikant had watched the preview of 'Sivaji' with former chief minister and Telugu Desam Party president N. Chandrababu Naidu at Prasad theatre here Thursday - keeping a promise he had made to the politician.
  
  According to him, the film's message to society was that black money bred more grudge, jealousy, greed and grief. But the movie, ironically, has not deterred black marketers from selling tickets for exorbitant prices.
  
  The tickets for balcony, which usually cost Rs.75-Rs.150, are being sold in black for anything between Rs.1,000 and Rs.1,500. Even a Rs.15 ticket is being sold for Rs.300-Rs.350.
  
  'I am thinking of buying a ticket for Rs.300 because there is nothing like watching the first show of a Rajni movie,' said D. Vasant, a young fan of the actor.
  
  At Prasad theatres, both the Tamil and Telugu versions of 'Sivaji' are being screened - the first time a film is being released in two languages simultaneously.
  
  Bellamkonda Suresh, the distributor of 'Sivaji' for Andhra Pradesh, said 270 prints of the film were released in 300 theatres and hoped it would break all box office records.

  Kannada Rajni fans receive 'Sivaji' amidst tight security
  
  Bangalore, June 15: Pouring milk on Superstar Rajnikant's cutouts, decorating theatres with mango leaves, and slogan shouting saw the colourful release of the multi-crore film 'Sivaji, the Boss' across Karnataka today, amidst tight security arrangements following the protest call by the Kannada Rakshana Vedike.
  
  In Bellary, pro-Kannada organisation activitsts tried to prevent the screening of the film. However, police intervened and held about 50 activists.
  
  In Bangalore city, tight security was maintained by posting a sizeable number of police in front of the ten theatres and three multi-plexes where the film was released. No untoward incident was reported till noon, police sources told UNI.
  
  Black-marketeers had a field day with tickets being sold at Rs 400 to Rs 1,000. The theatres screening the film wore a festive look and despite full house boards hanging on the gates, a large number of Rajni fans were seen standing in front of the theatres a celebrating the occasion.
  
  Reacting to the protest by pro-Kannada activists, former Karnataka Film Chamber President Gangaraju appealed for the withdrawal of the agitation stating that the film was released as per norms and there in all ten prints were released in Karnataka.

  Rajni's Triumphant Return To Tamil Screen
  Friday 15th of June 2007 Rajnikanth returned to the southern silver screen after two years at 5 a.m. Friday to a tumultuous reception from millions of fans in Chennai and across Tamil Nadu.
  
  Huge crowds thronged 30 theatres in and around Chennai right from the wee hours of the morning, with every 'rasikar' (aficianado) of Rajni determined not to miss a 'first day first show' of the long awaited 'Sivaji: the Boss'.
  
  Inside the packed theatres, audiences watched the film in rapt silence, in contrast to the wild cheering, dancing and sloganeering witnessed outside earlier.
  
  'Simply Paisa Vasool, Machhi! And get out of the way. I have to buy the next show's ticket at whatever black market rates that are prevailing', said Rajavelu, an auto-rickshaw driver from north Chennai, at Albert Hall, Egmore.
  
  The staunchly loyal fans of the superstar seemed every bit as anxious as the film's makers about the impact of every single scene, every single song or fight sequence.
  
  'I have only two words to describe 'Sivaji'- success, spectacular', said Vishwanathan, a driver who spent nearly 30 percent of his monthly salary to watch the preview Thursday night.
  
  'But seeing it along with the film technicians was a let down. The wolf whistles, bits of confetti floating in the air, applause and finally the roars of approval were missing. For a Rajnikant movie - all this stuff is as essential as the background score. I will see it again - at least 10 times. Now I have to begin networking odd jobs to pay for the shows,' Vishwanathan added.
  
  'I am a diehard Rajnikant fan and the movie is worth every single paisa of the Rs.1,000 I spent to see the first show. Rajnikant has shown great guts to appear with a shaved head in the climax but it thrilled me,' said Dayalan, who owns a travel business.
  
  'So far, my friends have booked four more tickets on different days including one more show today. I'm not going to miss any of them. 'Thalaivar' (as the superstar is popularly known) knows what sells and he kept us all happy,' he added.
  
  Pundits say it is impossible to predict the film's fate at the box office from the premiere show. More so for a Rajni film - his numerous fan clubs ensure that every film of his runs to full houses for at least two weeks.
  
  Trade circles still remember the shocking manner in which Rajni's 'Baba' bombed after what appeared a terrific opening. 'Chandramukhi', however, a record-breaking blockbuster, belied fears of a 'Baba' repeat.
  
  To the ordinary and uncommitted viewer who had managed to wangle a first day ticket, it seemed that 'Sivaji: The Boss' might not go the 'Baba' way.
  
  Rajni, the hero who sports perhaps a record number of hairdos in the much-hyped film, would seem to have met every expectation from every section of his wide ranging audience.
  
  There is no immediate word on the possible first day collections in Chennai and Tamil Nadu. But collections here form a major part of the estimated Rs.17 million shelled out by eager viewers across the country.
  
  Rajni's massive following in the state had marked the run-up to the film's release with esoteric welcome-back shows. These included ceremonies of fervour like 'pal avishekam' (milk bath) on Rajni carboard cutouts.
  
  A conspicuous feature of the first day shows was the meagre attendance by women, caused perhaps by fears of stampede and unruly fan behaviour. The female audiences of the film are expected to increase over the coming weeks.
  
  'Those who say women shun Rajnikant's films because of his fans' rowdy behaviour during the shows ought to see this movie at least once. It is wholesome entertainment and the fans have shown exemplary behaviour. Shivaji Rao Gaekwad lives the role and is truly the boss!' Kanaka, a woman vegetable vendor from south Chennai, had the last word.
  
  She was one of the few women at Albert Hall who saw the film on the first day.

  Well that was good and bad. Except the first scene after the interval there weren't any intense scenes. Like
  
  - annamalai presidents election scene
  - batsha medical college scene
  - padayappa oonjal scene.
  
  I expected something on the lines. But anyway I was completely satisfied with what they could come up with

Bay, Are you gonna watch in san jose camera theatre? or in freemont? san jose camera theatre has the worst sound effect i had evr seen! felt like watching it in a big mono stereo TV!

  RAJA BAHADUR , RK's OLD FRIEND OF THE 70s DURING HIS BANGALORE DAYS AS CONDUCTOR :
  
  http://www.hindu.com/2007/06/16/stories/2007061612510100.htm
  
  
  Raja Bahadur, retired bus driver, went to the movies on Friday. Nothing extraordinary about it except that the film starred his best friend, Shivaji Rao Gaekwad. Certainly it was first-day-first-show for him as always. He joined the lakhs across the nation to watch Sivaji — The Boss, superstar Rajnikant's much-hyped Tamil movie.
  
  This enduring friendship began in the early 1970s when Bahadur drove the then Bangalore Transport Service's route Number 10A that plied between Majestic and Srinagar.
  
  It was cemented when the two would unwind watching films and plays in their off-duty hours. Young Shivaji Rao would also act in some plays staged at the Gubbi Veeranna Ranga Mandira in Gandhinagar.
  
  It speaks volumes of Bahadur's talent-spotting capabilities when he began to persuade his friend to be a little more ambitious.
  
  "The response he got from the audience, particularly when he played Duryodhana and Yechhama Nayaka, the Kannada warrior, was impressive. It was then I thought he should start acting in movies. But Shivaji was not keen," Bahadur told The Hindu .
  
  Goading him on
  
  
  One does not drive a bus on Bangalore's roads without some degree of persistence and patience. Bahadur kept at it and turned up the volume when the Adyar Film Institute was established in Chennai. In fact, if it were not for the unstinting encouragement and support provided by Bahadur, Shivaji Rao would have been a retired conductor living in his modest home in Hanumanathanagar in south Bangalore instead of becoming Rajnikant, the cult figure.
  
  "He was hesitant to give up his job and join the institute as he was worried about money. Who will leave a government job? he asked me. But I assured him that I would take care of all his financial needs and made him join the institute," says Bahadur. Bahadur, supporting himself on a bus driver's pay, kept his word. For two years from 1974, he gave the most part of his salary to Shivaji and ensured that he completed his course. The young actor was hired by director K. Balachander and the rest is hysteria.
  
  "My dream has come true. He has become a superstar. I am the happiest person in the world today as Sivaji is being released. Maybe I am happier than Rajnikant's wife," laughs Bahadur.
  
  Ask him about his relationship with the superstar today and he says: "He has not changed a naya paisa. Even today we address each other in the singular. Whenever he comes to Bangalore, he disguises himself and we watch movies at Uma, Rex, Vinayaka and Anjan cinemas and visit restaurants and eateries."
  
  Some two decades ago, Rajnikant had invited the who's who of the celluloid and political worlds for the inauguration of a choultry in Madras. At the function the star announced that someone very dear to him would do the honours. Everyone looked expectantly at some political heavyweight or a glittering star. But Rajnikant, true to his style, chose to invite the one friend to whom he owes his career and his grip on reality

  Chennai city traffic came to standstill
  
  The whole city was under Sivaji influence, starting from F.M radio to Satellite T.V every where people are murmuring Sivaji. In a single day the complete Chennai city came to standstill due to release of Sivaji.
  
  In fact Chennai city traffic police were the one who witnessed major crisis today, because of overcrowding in & around theaters has jammed city traffic, at the same time people all around Chennai are moving towards theater which paralyzed city roads, so city traffic control room was getting continuous calls around Chennai regarding the traffic jam. This mania will stay for at least 1 week, then people will continue with their routine work.

  Sivaji- First day report!
  By Moviebuzz | Saturday, 16 June , 2007, 08:26
  Rajnikanth’s Shankar directed Sivaji has taken the biggest ever opening day ( Friday, June 15) opening in the annals of Tamil film history! According to the trade, all the 600 odd prints worldwide would have done 100 percent on the first day.
  
  The openings have been phenomenal; something which may not happen again till the next Rajnikanth movie comes around .In Chennai city, all the 17 screens reported 100 percent on the first day, again a city record. Rajnikant hoardings and cut out’s were worshipped like a deity with Palabhishekam, Aarathis, Pooja in many centres in Tamilnadu!
  
  The bitter Dravidian political rivals- M.Karunanidhi, Chief Minister , DMK leader and J.Jayalalitha, the opposition leader, AIADMK supremeo who can never agree on anything regarding the state were treated to special sneak previews of the film with the superstar in attendance. For a change the warring politicians were unanimous that “Sivaji is a great movie that provides wholesome entertainment”! The cadres of both parties are very happy about it as they are all fans of the superstar.
  
  Meanwhile the all important people’s verdict is out, that they like the film. But the skeptics in the trade say, that the film carries mixed reports. In Tamilnadu the majority of the people seemed to have liked it, though they say the film lacks a cohesive story, not enough punchlines, and is far too long.
  
  In Andhra Sivaji carries only average reports, and people say the first half comedy and family emotions are typical Tamil milieu and have no Andhra flavour. In Kerala, the film one day opening is better than a Mohanlal or Mammootty film, there the audience say it is too long and no story in it. Still they are loving the songs and grandeur in the film.

  Sivaji- My review
  
  
  (Rajni fans who've not yet seen the movie Sivaji, dont waste your time in reading this review of mine. The tickets for 21st day shows are selling out. Go and get it first!!)
  
  First things first, The movie is an out and out Rajni show. For ppl who do not know how the screen presence of the protagonist lifts a movie to a great level, here's the example. Rajni steals the show with his style, action amd comedy sense. He carries the film in his shoulders throughout. He makes it very clear that its not the number of roles the hero plays in a movie makes it better but its the charisma of the lead actor.
  
  Sivaji, has a very thin storyline and is quite similar to the assumptions that the mediapersons were making before the movie's release. But the presentation is racy and makes the movie a memorable one. The purists may argue that this is not Shankar's best film but its very true that this is Rajni's best since Baasha.
  
  Sivaji has great commercial value and the movie is targeted on Rajni fans and Rajni fans alone. The film is sure to go down with them, which obviously would make this film a grand success.
  
  Apart from Rajni, the two ppl who've contributed a lot to this movie are A.R Rahman and K.V Anand. When Rahman's rerecording takes the movie to greater heights, K.V Anand's cinematography literally makes the viewers spellbound. The super 35 format and the innovative 4k resolution technique ends up in giving a crystal clear picture quality.
  
  On the sore points of the movie, the portrayal of heroine Shriya's character and the dragging first half finds a place. But Rajni's one man show and the superb second half puts these factors behind.
  
  So, guys, dont go too much into the logic factor. Go and enjoy yourself watching the movie. Afterall, Rajni is the only hero who can make us cheerful in our otherwise mundane life!!!

  SIVAJI - My Review!
  
  At first, I thought this movie is not worth a review... But then, I felt, it's not fair to actually just have a negative connotation in my Signature without any justification! That would be unfair and discouraging to people who enjoyed the movie... So here it is, the movie that I was expecting for 2 years, with all the sky-rocketed expectations from my favorite actor of all time, and one of my favorite directors... But it just turned out to be such a big disappointment and frustration at the end, atleast for me!
  
  Story - I have been repeatedly saying that the only reason BABA flopped was because of a weak storyline! Here it is, once more in SIVAJI! No story at all, pretty much! I think Shankar would have dreamt that just having Rajini in a movie would mean a blockbuster! Well guess what Shankar, Rajini is not 35 anymore, nor this is 1985! Times and tides have changed... If this movie had come in the 80s, it would have been a blockbuster without an iota of doubt! Cos Rajini was young, handsome, and charismatic, so just his presence was money then... But now, Rajini NEEDS a good storyline too, period! In this case, Shankar neither made a good 'Shankar' movie, nor a good 'Rajini' movie... There is no social message at all! It's just abt a hero vs villain movie, with some ministers and big-shots in it... What's the story or what's social here?
  
  In the theatre, I was whistling a lot too... I'm from Madras too! During the intro scene, when I saw Rajini in the mask and handcuffs, I thought, man we have a master-blaster story in this movie! But it turned out to be false though! I dont like Rajini doin silly comedy and silly stunts... I want to see Rajini as Baasha, Thalapathy, Moondru Mugam, Padayappa, etc... Tell me, with Shankar directing Rajini, wont I expect something powerful in the movie? I was not looking for a masala movie... Even KSR can do that! Why Shankar, then? His movies like Anniyan, Indian, Gentleman, Muthalvan... I used to think, man these movies would rock if Rajini acted as hero! So I was expecting something like that... Even here, if he had Rajini as the blackmailer goin after black money in the backgound from the beginning itself and if Shankar had spent his energy in scripting that rather than focussing on colorful songs and unrelatable stunts, the story would have been much different!
  
  Screenplay - OK, if not for a good story, atleast a good screenplay which is gripping enough will pull it off... Many of Rajni's movies in the 80s became blockbusters, cos they were sooo entertaining! In this case, the first half was a total comedy, cos there is nothing to laugh abt! In other Shankar movies, the first half will be light, but the story will also move in parallel! In this case, there will be one or two scenes here and there in the plot, but that's it! The first half was a complete rip-off... The second half started with a bang with Rajini looking fresh with a changed hairstyle and challenging Suman in the Tea Stall, but even that wasnt good enough! The last 20 minutes when Rajini comes as a baldie, it looked like a joke to me, cos they failed in setting a good foundation, and the last 20 minutes is not sufficient to compensate that! The songs were beautiful, no doubt! But I couldnt really enjoy the songs, cos they interrupted the story even further!
  
  Performance - Rajini should have known better! For a guy who's been in the industry as the Superstar for 30+ years, to select a weak script like this, when people are dying to see the movie, is unacceptable! He has put in a lot of effort for sure, much more than his previous movies, but still, in vain! I have always admired Rajini for his originality... He broke the MGR/Sivaji stereotype in the late 70s, set his own style, and made a niche for himself! Here he's seen emulating MGR, Sivaji, Kamal, dancing for a Vijay and Vikram song.... All these new kids copy Rajini like crazy these days! And Rajini has failed to notice that?
  
  Some of the reasons why I love Rajini....
  
  * His Originality! Always been a trendsetter... In SIVAJI, he emulates other stars... As a Rajini fan, I cant take that!
  
  * His Characters! Alex Pandiyan in Moondru Mugam, Chakravarthy in Netrikkan, Kaali in Mullum Malaram, Annamalai, Padayappa, Baasha, Surya in Thalapathy, even Dr. Saravanan in CM! But here? A superstar who makes a movie to entertain fans, but doesnt want to give a good movie by itself? That's fine, if that entertainment had some reality!
  
  * Action! Biggest action star in the 80s... Typical hero vs villain stuff... Hence came punches into existence! Here, in the name of stunts, he was fyling around... I'm sure he dint even touch any bad guy he was fighting with... Too cartoonish and unbelieveable!
  
  * Style! His strength of characters and his style in portraying those characters! Not some gimmicks in thrwoing stuff without any weightage to characters!
  
  And the list will be endless...
  
  Abt other performers, Vivek has done a wonderful job, almost in every frame of the movie... He cant ask for more in his career! Shreya was beautiful, that was exactly what her ask was... Suman was not even close to a Raguvaran in MUDHALVAN!
  
  Music - Awesome! ARR has done a splendid job in the songs and BGM!
  
  Direction - What was Shankar thinking? Did he think Rajini is a joker or some cartoon character? Man, the stunts were sooo ridiculous, not even close to reality! Rajini is flying here and there, doin all kinds of stuff... And the songs like Athiradee and Style, well, did he realise he was making a serious movie or what? He could have remade his previous movies with Rajini, would have been a 1000 times better! I cant believe the guy who made masterpieces like Gentleman, Indian, Anniyan, and most importantly MUDHALVAN (man, that first half was freaking awesome! He could have just inserted Rajini as Pugazhenthi) also made SIVAJI with the biggest superstar! I think he took a lot of us on a ride here, including the crew!
  
  My verdict - When I felt the same way with BABA, atleast the media felt the same way too, and the movie flopped! In this case, I'm amazed how the media is praising this movie like crazy.... This will definitely make a good opening, but wont stand in the long run, both Box-Office wise and people's memory wise!
  
  Lessons to be learned:
  
  * Rajini should know himself better! He's not 35 anymore... His hero vs villain stuff wont work! He needs to play some serious characters! I dont think he understands that he's making a fool out of himself by playing fun-type characters! CM was awesome, cos he played his age pretty much, and had a good story! So everybody could relate to it, and have a good time, even if he dint do any of his 'stuff'! In this case, he terribly failed in his script-selection! Rajini should act again! He has to discover himself... Choose his role, and kick-ass once more! No more masala plssssss... The kids of today will take care of that! I wish life had a rewind button, so that I could go back to 1985, and my Thalaivar would just be 35!
  
  * Shankar should focus more on the body, than the dresses! He may spend millions of dollars on songs, stunts, sets, graphics, etc. But if the story is not good, none of that would matter!
  
  To my fellow Rajini fans: Please dont hate me guys! I was, am, and will ever be a Rajini fan... But this movie made me soooo frustrated and am terribly disappointed too! Hope Rajini acts again, and that time, he will come up with some realistic and serious stuff!
  
  To my fellow other fans: I request you guys to NOT judge the movie with my review... Please do not take my word without seeing the movie! I waana know how everybody else thinks, and I pray you all prove me wrong!

  Saw night show at Mayajaal yesterday.
  
  This movie is for the people who like Super Star's style, dialogues, charisma and Shankar's as usual fantasies, Pazhikku Pazhi,Sujatha dialogues, Shreya's glamour, Vivek's comedy, A.R.R Songs, Picturisations etc.,
  
  First 60 minutes was bit dry to me esply Super Star's comedy was boring(Molaga saapdradhu) and also that 'Pazhaga Vandhrukom' - Mokkai! - But all kids in the theatre loved it, We friends were like I was just wondering when we were kids we loved that Pandiyan Yoga & Omlette making scene and Annamalai 'Kadavule' comedy, similary these comedy tracks for kids.
  
  Adhukappram pinni pedal eduthurukaanga...!! Chumma solla kodaadhu..thalaivar semma smart thaan!! Indha vayasula rombha kashttapattu hard work panninadhu indha padathula nalla theriyudhu,Wow. His dialogue delivery with Suman in a T-shop after interval was excellent! Style Song getup ,'Mottai Boss' getup....enna oru style, innoruthan porandhu varanum! His hair style was normal before the interval.When he chooses that 'Singa Paadhai' thalai-ya oru siluppu siluppuvaaru paarunga....appo-la irrundhu his hair style will be different.Excellent! Super Star indha maadhri, ivvalo style-a Badsha-ku appram ippo thaan paakuren! Dressing both Formal as well as Casual....Thalaivaaa...Engeyo poiteenga!!
  
  Shreya...!! :omg ..... She is soooo sweet in the movie. Saree-la homely-a irrukura ponnu songs-la man...!!! Adhuvum Vaaji Vaaji song-la ....!! Mudiyalanga....
  
  Vivek padathoda first half-la kalakki irrukaar, Infact he was the one who saved first half a bit.
  
  Super Star : Maama...!
  
  Vivek :"Naan unakku Maama-va...? Idhu unakke over-a therila?"
  
  Super Star : Aaamapa pinna eppadi koopdradhu?
  
  Vivek : Akka thambi-nu koopdu
  
  
  Songs- Style was unexpected .... Chumma pattaya kelappi irrukaangaa, Vaaji sollave venaam its 100% Shrey a song, Adhiradee was great...esply thalaivar Gun-a left-la irrundhu right-ku kondu vandhu shoot panradhu...whoa! Awesome!! BGM periya sodhappal...ARR sir ennachu? Only that 'Adhiradikaaran' starting bit as BGM was good.
  
  
  But story yellam expected thaan...! It looks like a combination of Annamalai,Padayappa,Baba(Horoscope),Mudhalvan - Mixie-la pottu adicha maadhri oru feeling!
  
  Aaahoohna fights-la ellam Anniyan style-lula makkal ellarum fountain maadhri parakuraanga..Adhuvum andha car fight ellam konjam(nerayave) over, Electric shock adichu oru 30 minutes kazhichu uyir kodukuredhellam adha vida over...But Super Star-kaaga poruthukalam....!
  
  Logic ellam thooki erinjuchuttu.... Ungga friends gang-oda theatre-la poi padam paarunga...Internet,VCD-la paatheengana it wont be that effective!
  
  Kandippa indha padam vera yaaru nadichu irrundhalum periya flop thaan aagi irrukkum...Super Star-naala I think this movie will be a Super Hit!!
  
  Ennoda Rating - 7/10 ( Only for super star!!)

  Bay, relax.... ...i think u were expecting a typical shankar movie with rajini in it........but shankar concentrated more on rajini's looks and style to pull it thru....
  
  yes it was a bit irritating to see shankar mix his priorities so much.... ...but relax, movie has enuf fire power to propel into a major blockbuster.....for a movie to become a hit, u need :
  
  1. Repeat audience
  2. Family/neutral audience
  
  repeat audience will be taken care by rajini fans......trust me they were damn happy.....they went crazy over rajini's new looks........family/neutral audience is attracted by "word of mouth" campaign.....and it has been really good for shivaji......there is no worry, as far as i can see it....
  
  (but got to monitor the situation really close after the initial hype settles down ........we need to keep up the "word of mouth" campaign..... ......so bay, better start concentrating on that , JK .....)

  A grim rajni would have been rocking, but comedy is also one of his forte. Some section wud have felt disappointed if there wasnt enuf comedy from SS. Its tuff to satisfy everyone, but I think shankar did a fair job.

  Sivaji- My review (Rajni fans who've not yet seen the movie Sivaji, dont waste your time in reading this review of mine. The tickets for 21st day shows are selling out. Go and get it first!!) First things first, The movie is an out and out Rajni show. For ppl who do not know how the screen presence of the protagonist lifts a movie to a great level, here's the example. Rajni steals the show with his style, action amd comedy sense. He carries the film in his shoulders throughout. He makes it very clear that its not the number of roles the hero plays in a movie makes it better but its the charisma of the lead actor. Sivaji, has a very thin storyline and is quite similar to the assumptions that the mediapersons were making before the movie's release. But the presentation is racy and makes the movie a memorable one. The purists may argue that this is not Shankar's best film but its very true that this is Rajni's best since Baasha. Sivaji has great commercial value and the movie is targeted on Rajni fans and Rajni fans alone. The film is sure to go down with them, which obviously would make this film a grand success. Apart from Rajni, the two ppl who've contributed a lot to this movie are A.R Rahman and K.V Anand. When Rahman's rerecording takes the movie to greater heights, K.V Anand's cinematography literally makes the viewers spellbound. The super 35 format and the innovative 4k resolution technique ends up in giving a crystal clear picture quality. On the sore points of the movie, the portrayal of heroine Shriya's character and the dragging first half finds a place. But Rajni's one man show and the superb second half puts these factors behind. So, guys, dont go too much into the logic factor. Go and enjoy yourself watching the movie. Afterall, Rajni is the only hero who can make us cheerful in our otherwise mundane life!!! SIVAJI-THE MASS

  Its a business dude !!! Why should any actor return the money if the movies fails to click at the BO. Will the distributor share the profit with the actor / producer / director , if the movie makes exhorbitant profit.

  My review.
  Into scene:I missed it.
  Story:As i told,GM remade even costlier.
  Screenplay:During the first half,i was busy messaging.The second half was much better.However i had to forget that i had a brain.
  Stunts:Peter heinz must be nuts.I thought that these were his pieces from sultan.
  Songs:The only area to be acclaimed.
  Dialogues:Sujatha has lost his touch.verum cliche:Rich getting riicher,poor getting poorer,etc.
  Climax:utter nonsense.athuvum antha panam paranthu,students pidichu....
  
  overall:**1/2

  Bay has liked CM but has failed to like sivaji. That sounds disaster to me. CM was a foolish movie with an utter nonsense Rajini character. He wasnt needed in CM at all. Even prabu could have pulled that psychiatrist role. But sivaji can be done only by Rajini and Rajini himself.
  
  And Rajini emulating other actors, common he has mentioned KH's name more than once in a LOT of movies. And even in baba there were scenes hailing MGR/Sivaji just that he dint emulate them. This just shows his GENEROSITY nothing else.
  
  Movie will be a blockbuster bay, I really hope so!

  Request: No flame wars please.
  
  I had to watch the movie today because one of my best friends had booked tickets and he wouldn't take no for an answer. He is a die-hard Rajini fan and he had watched Baba more than 5 times in the theater.
  
  I completely agree with Bay. He is spot on with his comments about the movie and i salute him for his honesty and integrity - .
  
  I mean, if i were a Rajini fan, i would be mad at Shankar for squandering a once in a lifetime chance. Infact, that's exactly what my friend said after coming out of the theater. The super star, Rahman (perhaps the saving grace of the movie), AVM and the unprecedented media hype, Shankar had them all. In Indian movie industry, i don't think any other movie has garnered this much attention. It must have been god awesome for Rajini fans - the pre-release publicity. idha ellathayum waste pannittaru director.
  All of Shankar's films have been masalas with scant regard to logic but here, there is absolutely nothing in the script. Neither is it a *Rajini* film like Baasha nor does it keep the screenplay gripping.
  The Slaomon Pappayya "comedy track", the whole skin-whitening segment, Style song picturization, the fight scenes etc - What the hell was Shankar thinking????
  One of Shankar's worst films even by his own low standards and he has certainly let Rajini down.
  
  CM was much better than this. I haven't seen Baba but i would be surprised if it were this bad.

  SIVAJI - My Review! At first, I thought this movie is not worth a review... But then, I felt, it's not fair to actually just have a negative connotation in my Signature without any justification! That would be unfair and discouraging to people who enjoyed the movie... So here it is, the movie that I was expecting for 2 years, with all the sky-rocketed expectations from my favorite actor of all time, and one of my favorite directors... But it just turned out to be such a big disappointment at the end, atleast for me! Story - I have been repeatedly saying that the only reason BABA flopped was because of a weak storyline! Here it is, once more in SIVAJI! No story at all, pretty much! I think Shankar would have dreamt that just having Rajini in a movie would mean a blockbuster! Well guess what Shankar, Rajini is not 35 anymore, nor this is 1985! Times and tides have changed... If this movie had come in the 80s, it would have been a blockbuster without an iota of doubt! Cos Rajini was young, handsome, and charismatic, so just his presence was money then... But now, Rajini NEEDS a good storyline too, period! In this case, Shankar neither made a good 'Shankar' movie, nor a good 'Rajini' movie... There is no social message at all! It's just abt a hero vs villain movie, with some ministers and big-shots in it... What's the story or what's social here? Screenplay - OK, if not for a good story, atleast a good screenplay which is gripping enough will pull it off... Many of Rajni's movies in the 80s became blockbusters, cos they were sooo entertaining! In this case, the first half was a total comedy, cos there is nothing to laugh abt! In other Shankar movies, the first half will be light, but the story will also move in parallel! In this case, there will be one or two scenes here and there in the plot, but that's it! The first half was a complete rip-off... The second half started with a bang, but even that was good enough! The last 20 minutes when Rajini comes as a baldie, it looked like a joke to me, cos they failed in setting a good foundation, and the last 20 minutes is not sufficient to compensate that! The songs were beautiful, no doubt! But I couldnt really enjoy the songs, cos they interrupted the story even further! Performance - Rajini should have known better! For a guy who's been in the industry as the Superstar for 30+ years, to select a weak script like this, when people are dying to see the movie, is unacceptable! He has put in a lot of effort, but still, in vain! I have always admired Rajini for his originality... He broke the MGR/Sivaji stereotype in the late 70s, set his own style, and made a niche for himself! Here he's emulating MGR, Sivaji, Kamal, dancing for a Vijay and Vikram song.... All these new kids copy Rajini like crazy these days! And Rajini has failed to notice that? Vivek has done a wonderful job, almost in every frame of the movie... He cant ask for more! Shreya was beautiful, that was exactly what her ask was... Suman was not even close to a Raguvaran in MUDHALVAN! Music - Awesome! ARR has done a splendid job in the songs and BGM! Direction - What was Shankar thinking? Did he think Rajini is a joker or some cartoon character? Man, the stunts were sooo ridiculous, not even close to reality! Rajini is flying here and there, doin all kinds of stuff... And the songs like Athiradee and Style, well, did he realise he was making a serious movie or what? He could have remade his previous movies, would have been a 1000 times better! My verdict - When I felt the same way with BABA, atleast the media felt the same way too, and the movie flopped! In this case, I'm amazed how the media is praising this movie like crazy.... This will definitely make a good opening, but wont stand in the long run, both Box-Office wise and people's memory wise! Lessons to be learned: * Rajini should know himself better! He's not 35 anymore... His hero vs villain stuff wont work! He needs to play some serious characters! I dont think he understands that he's making a fool out of himself! CM was awesome, cos he played his age pretty much, and had a good story! In this case, he terribly failed in his script-selection! * Shankar should focus more on the body, than the dresses! He may spend millions of dollars on songs and their settings, graphics, etc. But if the story is not good, none of that would matter! To my fellow Rajini fans: Please dont hate me guys! I was, am, and will ever be a Rajini fan... But this movie made me soooo frustrated and am terribly disappointed too! Hope Rajini acts again, and that time, he will know himself and his fans better to come up with some realistic and serious stuff!

  
  
  
  Bay,
  
  I can understand your feeling. But it really is not as bad as you had narrated. Your expectations were way above proportions.
  
  Just accept the fact, that there is only so much you can do in a movie, more so with SS in it. You have expected a typical Shankar movie, with a character for SS to play in it. That is not a unreal ask? But I think, Shankar (himself a big SS fanatic) looks like wore the hat of S.P Muthuraman (who is also the co-producer of the movie) and presented with a modern masala enterntainer.
  
  Just don't even compare this with BABA man.......For BABA I just walked off (not literally...) the moment SS apeared in the screen. That was a all in all total crap.........Not even a single scene was even worth watching.
  
  That is not the case with Sivaji........There is a lot to cheer & feel more than satisfied. All it needs is a good 20 minutes to be edited. But like you had mentioned, it would have been worth had Shankar used a good 20 minutes in a sub plot as to why the hero is trying to do, what he was. Everything was so fast & defied logic.
  
  
  But you have to understand, that no one expects any logic in a SS movie. That is what he brings to the screen. That is his biggest advantage (also a disadvantage to some extent too). Like you I also hated the fight sequence. But I was kind of expecting, because even in Anniyan you saw the hero fighting against some 200 odd people. Seems like that is the trend. Even though it is completely unreal, it blends with the current trend for sure & everyone was enjoying it (what else do you need).
  
  To me, a movie itself is a fantasy. You can see things only that is imaginable in reality. When a mass hero is involved it gets multiplied that much more.......
  
  I totally disagree with your comments about Mottai getup. That really was rocking no doubt. He had completely changed his body language, mannerisms, dialogue delivery & everything.
  
  I have no doubts that you will love it the second time.....

  it would have been worth had Shankar used a good 20 minutes in a sub plot as to why the hero is trying to do, what he was. Everything was so fast & defied logic.

  
  Editor antony was also a sore point IMO. I think he is working with shankar for the very first time. None of the scenes were long enough to really sink in. Not only the plot, but some of the scenes were really unimaginative the train sequence ...
  
  But the film was more like a tribute to the past. It was like seeing SS of yesteryears. In the first half he comes in "padikkathavan" getup, while in second half he comes in "uzhaippali" getup. The audience also erupted for the scenes wherein he imitated other heroes. Biggest applause was for kamal's nethu rathiri song .

  The Boss song cud have been used better tho, It lacked the impact that I expected and also I dont think the entire song was played (sorry guyz, I cudnt hear much inbetween the crowd cheers ). The music store fight scene was made out to be a comedy fight and I think boss song was used only in that scene

  Unruly Crowds at Sivaji screening cause cinema to close for a week
  
  By Z.Y. Lee
  
  
  15 Jun ?Crowds at two cinemas screening Tamil blockbuster Sivaji The Boss turned ugly last night, damaging property and breaking glass screens over ticket sales and projection problems.
  
  
  Blood (?) on Sri Intan Cinema steps
  As a result, Lotus Five Star's Panggung Sri Intan in Klang is closed for a week, presumably for repairs to the damage allegedly caused by patrons who turned unruly when they were told that the screening of Sivaji last night was cancelled.
  
  Cinema manager Kalatharan told Cinema Online that those who bought the tickets to the 9pm and midnight shows yesterday would get their refunds. "The cinema will be closed for a week for repairs," he said. It is learnt that the screenings were cancelled due to problems with its digital projection system and when the fans were told about it about 9pm, "they went wild".
  
  Cinema Online visited Sri Intan today and saw workers cleaning up the premises. We also found what looked like a pool of dried blood on the steps of the cinema entrance. The management would not elaborate on last night's fracas or whether a police report had been made.
  Notice spotted at Sri Intan Cinema informing patrons about the refund Closure notice at Sri Intan Cinema
  At the Coliseum Cinema in KL, which reopened yesterday with the screening of Sivaji, fans turned unruly when they discovered that they could not get tickets to the 9pm and midnight shows. They accused the management of fraud, selling tickets to spivs. Cinema Online visited the Coliseum this afternoon and found the glass screen for the ticket counter shattered, presumably by the frustrated crowd.
  
  It is also learnt that police from Dang Wangi station and a Light Strike Force unit was called in to control the crowd at Coliseum which spilled onto the streets and caused traffic congestion.
  
  According to Coliseum cinema manager Sopie Babu, many fans who were queueing up since 8am found themselves without tickets shortly after counters opened at 4.45pm. This led to accusations of selling tickets to spivs. However, Sopie denied the allegations, saying that "police were called in very early in the day because we knew there would be some trouble as soon as we saw that queues started forming at 8 am. As for black market tickets, these are things of the past when gangsters ruled. This is no longer the case. We limited the ticket sales to 10 per queueing customer."
  
  
  The cracked glass at the Coliseum ticket counter
  Last night's fiasco left a cracked glass screen of the ticket counter and a damaged corridor shutter. Mr. Zaheer, a roti-canai maker from Section 17, Petaling Jaya, told Cinema Online that he avoided yesterday's ticket rush because he knew that trouble was inevitable. "It's a Rajnikanth movie so I knew it would be crazy. I have to go to Singapore tonight so I came today to catch the 3pm show because I know that that's one of the only slots which I can get tickets for," he said.
  
  At the State cinema in PJ, screening was also halted when the digital projection system encountered problems. However, there were no reports of any incident and the patrons settled for ticket refunds.

  Rajnikanth stamps his class: Film Review
  
  
  ‘Sivaji is a film the whole family will want to see at least once’
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  ‘Cool dude’:
  
  
  Film: Sivaji
  
  Cast: Rajnikanth, Shreya, Suman
  
  Producer: M. Saravanan, M.S. Guhan
  
  Director: Shankar
  
  The wait is finally over. The Indian and overseas market is crackling with excitement and for the next few weeks there will be serpentine queues for the tickets not just because of the hype but the good word that has spread some hours before the show began all over the globe.
  
  Director Shankar has concentrated too heavily in making Rajni and also each frame look beautiful. The film is a notch above the ordinary as far as the technique is concerned, but, perhaps, he isn’t too well aware that what the viewer hopes to watch are not gadgets and gizmos, laptops or mean machines, but a well structured story. Yes, there’s some goofiness in this movie. It comes with the territory. You might go a little wacky too if you had to keep an order amidst the chaos of Rajni’s mannerisms. Even that can be overlooked.
  
  Rajni plays a software engineer Sivaji (the tagline of Sivaji is ‘The Boss’ which stands for ‘Bachelor of social service’) who comes back to India with Rs. 250 crore in his account and wants to do charity.
  
  How his rival Suman thwarts his samaritan effort and how he performs the heist and robs the black money (looks like one cake walk) forms the crux of the story. Shreya looks like a million bucks, Suman’s work is refreshing - sometimes it helps not to be God. Rajnikanth fans will be mesmerised by some of his numbers and ‘cool’ dude attitude and others probably appreciate the humour and banter more. It is unadulterated genre fun, but might have benefited from a number of judicious cuts and the annoying denouement. Either way you slice it, Sivaji is a film the whole family will want to see at least once, high expectations aren’t a problem. This movie will meet all of them, and leave you smiling to boot. What mo re could you want?

  Jus wanted to clear some questions raised by some ppl here abt the movie
  
  1. Why the story line is weak?
  Y do u expect a strong story in a superstar movie! having stories r old style and presentation is the trend now!
  
  2.y some comedy scenes r mokkai in the first half?
  
  thalaivar movies r watched from ages 6-60 and especially lot of kids. they cant be treated to some inteligent comedy stuff. tats one of the reason even y the action scenes were not so violent and kiddish! I heard from some ppl hat AVM usually targets family and children as a whole and they never failed at that.
  
  3. y thalaivar imitated other stars?
  
  I am 99% sure this is gonna be thalaivar's last movie and looks like a tribute to all yesteryear stars and wannabe future stars.
  
  4.Is the movie getting mixed reviews?
  
  No, its an out and out entertainer and the -ve reviews r from ppl who expected a lot (i mean more masala like high-pitched punch dialog and fighting 1000-1500 men )
  (or) from people who think they are the movie police( periya paruppu madiri kutham kandu pudichi peru vaanguravanga)!
  
  I PERSONALLY RATE THIS MOVIE BETTER THAN BAASHA! A PERFECT 10!

  Hmm, the naysayers will only believe what they want to believe. Even if there is a semblance of a negative report from any corner, they will try to highlight that and claim that is a flop. I am yet to see the movie, but by the overwhelming majority of positive opinion, I am convinced that this is a blockbuster.
  
  If you look at the HOllywood critics website (rottentomatoes), there is no movie that has been reviewed as 100% positive. The highest, I think was around 95% positive. Going by that, Sivaji already has crossed that mark by having close to that percentage of good reviews.
  
  Basically, the naysayers could of three types:
  1. Different expectations than the rest of the public
  2. Refusal to believe that the movie is good in spite of their hope that it would sink
  3. Just trying to create the opposite view so that they get some attention.

  CR, the *Rajini* fans who have hated this movie are certainly a minority. 50 people went for the movie here yesterday, 40 of them are Rajini fans including a lot of girls and everyone enjoyed the movie . Even the family audience in the theater seemed contended.
  
  My fan friends in India absolutely loved that movie. In fact, bay is the ONLY Rajini fan that I know who has not liked the movie.
  
  This movie was NOT better than Rajini's previous films like annamalai/bAtshA/PadayappA but certainly better than CM/Baba/Aruncachalam. This probably is Shankar's worst script ever, I totally agree but the movie was NOT boring at all.
  
  Lets see how it goes, I dont see it *flopping* badly. Will recover its cost for sure
  
  Stlye song is STRICTLY for Rajini fans and I am not surprised that KH fans dont like it

  Nerd,
  
  For me, this one's the BEST Rajni movie ever! For me, movies shud not have any boring moments and even annamalai, baasha & padayapa had some moments like tat! In Sivaji, Except for sahana song which i felt shud have been replaced by some fast,racy, folk song EVERYTHING was gud!

  Most important point to note - It didn't have the pretentious social message to convey. So, one can safely claim it to be just an entertainer. And 'leave your brain at home and watch the movie' can take over.
  
  But with shankar - one can't expect that 'nice and smooth entertainment'.
  
  I'm sure the movie wouldn't flop. Don't know about others.

  LM, padatha pAthuttu sollunga. There were enough scopes for a strong BGM in the first half, anyway thats my opinion
  
  PK, when I came out of CM, I was very disappointed and thought the movie would FLOP. I still can't believe that it has become such a huge hit. None of my friends here liked the movie except a few girls. On sivaji, the Rajini fans seemed to have liked the movie and we might have to wait at least 10 days before we can come to a conclusion about the repeat audience/family audience. Repeat audience will be there -> Rajini fans

  Bay bro.....sorry woke up late and read your honest review and I should say that your review is discouraging to me.
  
  But let me get some facts straight and clear. As shankar said in an interview....... you can have certain things on a superstar and certain things not. For eg. Super star cannot have a classy story as it will not go well with the masses and he cannot act in roles like multilple person disorder (or something like that!)....people will definitely reject.
  
  I personally feel this is a Rajini Movie and not a Shankar movie. When an evarge movie like CM would shatter all records(where there was no style and infact no need for Rajni himself) I'm 100% confident that this will be the most remembered movie for Thalaivar for years to come.
  
  Lemme hop into theatre today evening and post my honest opinion too!
  
  Chill out guys and enjoy the moment!!

  By Moviebuzz
  
  
  It can't get bigger than this – Rajnikanth, the real superstar and style king, and Shankar the showman of Tamil cinema, coming together for the first time in Sivaji. The good news is that this awesome combo is able to whip up an entertainment extravaganza that is delicious and good to savour.
  The moot question is: does the Rajnikanth-Shankar combination measure up to the stratospheric expectation of their fans? The answer is that it does - to a very large extent, as it has the freshness and novelty in the coming together of two giants of the industry. As a film, it acts as the vital bridge between the old Rajni films and new commercial packaging that makes Shankar tick with the generation next audience.
  
  Rajnikanth has never looked so good on screen with his stylised look and presentation, body language, mannerisms and dialogue delivery. Shankar has been able to get the right balance in a tightrope walk between Rajni's larger-than-life image and the changing taste of today's mass multiplex audience without losing his famous touch. In short, Shankar has given us a more peppy and upmarket Rajni that is sure to work with today's youth audience.
  
  There is only one hero here, as in all Rajnikanth films- Rajni himself. Such is the overpowering screen presence of his cinematic charisma in every frame of the film. The film works big time as Shankar has made the film on a grand scale, in a riot of colours, lavish song picturisation, which is a visual treat with superbly choreographed action scenes. All this comes with top-of-the line techno-finesse, perhaps the best ever in Tamil cinema.
  
  Sivaji (Rajnikanth) comes back from US with big dreams of doing something good for his fellowmen, mainly free education and medical care. He wants to set up `Sivaji University` but our corrupt system, greedy politicians and red tapism stand in his way. Sivaji’s right-hand man is his Mama (Vivek) who not only helps him with his dream project but also finds him a perfect match in Tamilselvi (Shriya).
  
  Sivaji faces opposition from Adhiseshan (Suman), a kingmaker, businessman and educationist who runs a successful medical college and hospital. After realising that nothing works in our corrupt system, Sivaji succumbs to pressure and bribes the entire bureaucracy to start his pet project. Adhi crosses swords with Sivaji and is determined to sabotage the project and he succeeds in bringing our hero to the street. Now it is the turn of our superman hero to strike back. How he does it with just one rupee forms the rest of the story.
  
  
  Shankar speaks-Read Part- 1|Shankar speaks-Read Part-2 | Shankar speaks-Read Part- 3|Sivaji Special |Sivaji-Audio review | Sivaji to release on June 15| Waiting for `Sivaji`!| Sivaji has been a great experience`: Shriya| Exclusive: Working stills of `Sivaji`! | `Sivaji` TV rights sold!
  
  Technically, ‘Sivaji’ is a revelation. In case you feel that it has a predictable story, then there are stunning visuals, which is paisa vasool. K.V.Anand's cinematography is top class. Art director Thotta Tharani work is enticing, especially the sets in songs. Musically the film is a treat, as Rahman has given his best in recent times. Song picturisation, like in all Shankar films, is out-of-the world and what really keeps the viewer hooked, is the packaging and the way it is picturised.
  
  Every song is a visual treat, with Vaaji … and Sahaana… adding glitz to the proceedings. The Style song shot in Spain with where Rajni is shown as a white man is mesmerising, though the much hyped Ballelakka.. number reminds you of the manner in which Andankakka in Anniyan was shot. Thotta Tharani's sets enrich the proceedings. Manish Malhotra’s costumes, especially the suits and denims suit Rajni to the T.
  
  On the downside, there is nothing new story-wise. Shankar has rehashed his pet theme of a one-man crusader who cleans the society of the scum of the earth, which was seen in his earlier socio-commercial fantasies like Gentleman and Muthalvan. There is a sense of déjŕ vu- as you have seen similar plots too often from his stable. The script is too thin on logic. There are far too many banal dialogues and familiar homilies and messages, associated with a Shankar film, are thrust in and at times the pace is too sluggish, especially in the first half.
  
  The action scenes are well choreographed by Peter Hayne. The two fights in the first half are done in typical Jackie Chan style with the emphasis being to provide light hearted comedy. The climax fight between 'Motta' Sivaji and Adhi is adrenaline pumping with gravity defying 'Matrix' style visual effects. The graphic work in Style and Athiradi songs is mind-boggling.
  
  Shriya has given an outstanding performance. Body language, glances, expression.... you name it and she has it all. She looks bewitching and has enough scope to perform. Suman’s new look as the suave, polished Adhi is perfect foil for Rajni as he does not go overboard and utters only a few words. Vivek has equal footage with Rajni and some of his one-liners are really whacky and hilarious, especially when he takes a dig at young heroes who have taken a leaf out of the superstar by mouthing punch lines and aping his mannerisms.
  
  Though this is a film without any punch lines associated with Rajni films, a “Pera ketta chumma Adhirudhilla.. or “Cool” could drive his fans into a frenzy. Please note that for the first time, there are a lot of English dialogues for Rajni, keeping the global audiences in mind. The comedy in the first half is rollicking and the surprise packet is the ‘Motta’ Rajni who comes in the climax.
  
  Go for it… It is entertainment guaranteed.
  
  Verdict: Cooool!

  a review which will make Rajinifans happy
  
  

  Quote:

  Analysis: The film is opened with crazy collections with Rajni factor and runs with the same. The story of the film is apt for the star image of Rajni. To say with critical outlook and common sense, the process to unearth the black money that’s shown in this film is completely impractical. But still Rajni mania and the hype that it created makes the film run marathon. There are many notable scenes in the film those entertain and here are a few: 1. Chandramukhi scene between Shriya, Rajni and police officer2. Shankar’s appearance in Ballelakka song3. Rajni as NTR and Chiranjeevi4. Shriya as a perfect replica of Sridevi To sum up, it’s a film with grand extravaganza that appeals for mass film lovers, Rajni fans and the ones who are habituated to watch routine masala flicks. As a thought provoking idea is discussed in the film to excavate black money, it will be a point of discussion among class audiences. Stunts, Rajni style and songs are for young ones. Sivaji’s love for villages and Shriya’s get up off the songs appeal B, C centers. That way the film targeted all the audiences. The result is obvious! Bottom Line: Watch It!

  Still there is no negative from newspapers / portals from Tamils. But you can get some negative reviews from other than tamils such as telugu portals. Now here some negative reviews. Since I didn't see this film, I can't comment the movie. But whatever it is, none can flop / average in box office this movie.
  
  Because ............. all are becoming mad in front of Rajini including kids, IT persons, students, telugu people, malayalees, indian national news channels (), internet portals, etc...

  Villian was a misfit, movie not worth the hype atall!!
  
  RAJINI FOR SURE SHOULD ACT UNDER KSR, KSR madiri RAJINIYa yaarum getha kaamikala!!
  
  
  Rajini remains the unbeaten superstar and the punch dialogues vivek utters on his behalf is targeted against it seems as per newspaper who immitate Rajini frame by Frame.
  
  
  Rajini once again has proved he is a big fan of KAMAL HASSAN and his imitations were just awesome
  Oru koodai sunlight andf Athiradee rocked bigtime Rajini
  
  Shankar is just a high budget version of Perarasu! Nothing else!

  Very true !!
  
  And Bay,
  
  Seems that you had gone with a lot of expectations and I have this storng feeling that you will be proven wrong by the box office. One more thing I have to point out is, you claim Anniyan - a total crap out of all Shankar flicks so far - a masterpiece. Going with that kind of a taste - I am sure Sivaji is not going to be as bad as you have felt

  Rajni wave sweeps everywhere
  IndiaGlitz [Saturday, June 16, 2007]
  
  
  A popular television channel recently aired an opinion poll on who's the popular star – Amitabh Bachchan or Rajnikanth? A majority of the voters favored Rajnikanth.
  
  However Rajnikanth was quick to react. The Super Star of Tamil Cinema, whose Sivaji has witnessed a phenomenal opening all around the globe, has openly stated that he is no comparison to Amitabh Bachahan.
  
  "I admire Amitabh and I am his ardent fan. No way, I can be compared to the Big B", he says and adds, "If I am a king then Amitabh is an emperor".
  
  Rajnikanth took a dig at the media for comparing him with Big B.
  
  Sivaji has witnessed bumper opening not just in Tamilnadu but also in neighbouring Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. In abroad, it has matched the collections of several blockbuster Hindi movies in the recent past.

  HATS OFF!!!!!!!!!
  
  How did Rajni appear white in Sivaji?
  IndiaGlitz [Saturday, June 16, 2007]
  
  
  Producer AVM Saravanan and MS Guhan and cinematographer K V Anand got together at AVM studios today to reveal the mystery behind Rajnikanth appearing white in the song ‘Oru Kudai’ in Sivaji. According to Anand it is an attempt never done in the history of world cinema."We tried out skin grafting technology", he said.
  
  The idea was made by Shankar and with the help of Indian Arts we managed to make it a reality. We shot Rajni and an English girl separately and later combined using skin grafting. The Indian Arts took 365 days to complete skin grafting for the 6000 frames in the song. The song was shot for 16 days in Billbaw museum in Spain. It is a result of hard work.

  He should have recreated a kind of anti-hero role like in netrikann or that gethu character like in moondru mugam may be with double or triple action with this mega budget!!
  
  Difference between Shankar and Perarasu:
  
  Perarasu --> Akka, Anni, thambi, Friend sentiment + low budget

If i take them to perarasu's, i will be shot and they will literally spit on my face. Well I guess thats another difference between shankar and perarasu.
  Rest of the folks, in the 'public opinion' clip I posted, all i heard was "superb" "fantastic" "patthu vaati pakonum" and these people were all the way from 6 to beyond 60. Just awesome.

  What I thought of the picturisation of Sivaji songs:
  
  1. Balleilekka - Locations chosen were very very nice. Choreography however was pretty poor, I think its Brinda, well whoever it is they've done a bad job. The dance moves didn't suit Rajni at all. Coming to think about it, it didn’t suit the backing dancers aswel! They even gave poor dance moves to Nayantara, she could have been used so much better! (but she did look hot though ) 7/10
  
  2. Vaaji Vaaji - Wonderful sets, they song screams grandeur. Shreya's just beautiful, and her dancing is equally beautiful and elegant. Rajni also looked stunning in warrior/ Roman clothing! One thing I didn't like about this song was the use of those little guys. I think they tried to add a little bit of comedy to the song, but personally i don't think it worked. It just spoiled Blaaze's bits of the song, where he says "Thiragina tha, thina, thiragina tha". They could have made Rajni lip sync this part instead giving it to the little guys! 9/10
  
  3. Style - ONE WORD: Wow! My fave song in the album now, thanks to the picturisation. Gugenheim Museum in Balboa, was an excellent choice of location for this modern song. Rajni turns completely white, and it looks superb. It supposedly took one year to do the graphics on this song and you know what it really paid off! I’ve read that they grafted some white girls skin onto Rajni’s using CG, to achieve the effect. All the costumes they gave him suit him very well, and the choreography is mindblowing. Prabhudeva has gotten the best out of Rajni's dancing abilities. Shreya handles the moves with ease. Very bold, very modern, very Shankar. This song is one of the saving graces of the movie. They really have done justice to ARRs trend-setting, mould-breaking number! A very well deserved 10/10.
  
  4. Sahana - This song was picturised quite well. I’m not too sure about the set and costumes though. I don't think the whole glass thing was that impressive. Also, the costumes given to the backing dancers looked a little cheap and tacky. I'm sure they cost a lot, but it didn't look it. Rajni pulls of the song with such grace. Shreya, again, brilliant! When I watched it, the first few seconds of the song where Udit sings before the instrumentation begins, was missing. I don’t know if this was just when I watched it or if it was in all cinemas. 8/10
  
  5. Athiradee - Very nice choreography by Lawrence. The only annoying thing was the gun shots over ARRs fine music. Was this really necessary? Ok, do it once, but the repeated gun shot sounds over the music, just plain annoying! Nice use of graphics in the song aswel! 9/10
  
  OVERALL, STYLE songs picturisation is the out and out winner! I want to see the movie again, just to see this song on the big screen once more!

  This is ridiculous! I couldnt even sleep last night, and almost tore my ticket for today's show.... My friends dint give up on me, came all the way and picked me up! I had such a great time today....
  
  Just figured out why I got sooo annoyed yesterday!
  
  * I was not expecting a normal masala movie, but instead some typical 'Shankar' stuff or 'Rajini' stuff, or even more than that! Today, I looked at the movie with a more relaxed mindframe, with all my expectations shattered, and guess what, it was indeed an enjoyable movie!
  
  * I went to the movie theatre by myself... There were these 5 guys in my front row, commenting and mocking on pretty much every scene! Critizing to the core... I was always watching them, and could never allow myself to enjoy the movie! Guess I mentally became a part of that group, and was heavily influenced! But today, I had my group, and it was a party!
  
  * All the points that I mentioned in the review yesterday! Gosh, I can come up with a totally different review now... But you guys would decide I'm a nutcase probably, if I did that! But still, lemme give it a shot!
  
  SIVAJI - My Review! (On the 2nd watching)...
  
  Story - Good theme, but not a strong plot!
  
  Screenplay - First half was not good, very light... Second half was good!
  
  Performances - Rajini has worked really hard... Noticed that especially in the dances and stunts! I dont think he had to work this hard for any other movie in the last decade! He carries the movie on himself... Abt other performers, Vivek has done a wonderful job, almost in every frame of the movie... He cant ask for more in his career! Shreya was beautiful, that was exactly what her ask was... Suman was OK!
  
  Music - Awesome! ARR has done a splendid job in the songs and BGM!
  
  Direction - Could have done better! Could see his work in the songs, especially! Had his name all over them...
  
  My verdict - Seems like everybody is liking it... So will win! But could have been better... This is not a Shankar movie wherein Rajini has acted (that was my expectation).... But it's a Rajini movie that Shankar has directed! So the success will definitely be more on Rajini's share than Shankar's!
  
  Sure-shot BLOCKBUSTER! I'll get back to my job at this HUB for the next 3 months! Sorry for all the mess though...

  No offence mate. You are the only Rajini fan to dislike the movie (and to a great extent). And you even didn't agree to change your signature temporarily. Those who are not hardcore Rajini fans (like me) got confused a little and from then only more negative comments started to pour in (from non-rajini fans).
  
  Anyway, leave everything out. 2 more days to go for me

  Sivaji's success story
  
  (6/16/2007)
  
  உலகம் முழுவதும் சிவாஜி படம் மிகப்பெரும் வெற்றி அடைந்திருப்பதாக அறிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. அமெரிக்கா, லண்டன், சிங்கப்ப ;ர், மலேஷியா போன்ற தமிழர்கள் குடும்பங்களாக வசிக்கும் பகுதிகளில் சிவாஜி படத்துக்கும் க ;ட்டம் க ;ட்டமாக மக்கள் வந்த வண்ணம் உள்ளனர்.
  
  இதற்கிடையே பெரும்பலான சினிமா திரையரங்குகளில் ஏற்கனவே ஓடிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் ஆங்கிலப் படங்களை நிறுத்திவிட்டு சிவாஜி படத்தை திரையிட முடிவு செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது.
  
  சிவாஜி படத்தின் விநியோக உரிமையை வாங்கியிருக்கும் ஐயங்கரன், சிவாஜி காட்சிகளை நீட்டிக்க முடிவு செய்திருப்பதாக தெரிவிக்கிறது.

  Tia,
  
  Rough translation for you.
  
  It has been declared that the film Sivaji is having a highly successfull run all over the world. In USA, London, Singapore and Malaysia, places where Tamilians reside more, people are flocking towards the theatres.
  
  Some theatre owners have decided to stop screening the English films and show Sivaji instead.
  
  Ayngaran International which holds the distribution rights has decided to increase the number of shows.

  Watched sivaji morning show 2day.
  
  I really enjoyed the film on the whole.
  
  Rajini super style chumma pera keta aduridulai.
  
  The songs were great vaji vaji and athirade songs r best. others were ok.
  
  VIvek done a few good comedies with rajini.
  
  Shreya very hot !
  
  But to be honest the story was not that good. Quite weak script compared to shankar's previous films.
  
  Mottai rajini was supper @ the end.
  Only thing i was disapointed about was rajini didn't have a good intro scene.
  
  But the film would be sure Hit.

  guys... this is my part of review
  
  Movie was excellent... didint expect Rajini to act this much at his age...
  
  this movie is clearly a SHANKAR film... its very obvious.... and for people who said if Rajini didint act,this movie would be a flop, really, it was a big joke to me after i came out of the theater, coz that movie was exactly wut a HIT movie would spell, i remember my seniors was telling the same when Mudhalvan came out, that this movie is gonna flop [after knowing Arjun replaced Rajini ]....
  
  anyways, i loved every scenes, esp the comedy.. when Rajini says to vivek " hey, ennai vecchu etho comedy kamedi pannaleyi " in vadivelu's tone.. and Vivek also said " ouuwwwwww" in vadivelu's style... ahhaha..that was a laugh riot!
  I loved the way Rajini calls Vivek " Dai Mama"... haha...and when Sivaji was serious, wow... !! Black money theme was beautifully shown & how to make them into 'white money' !! the "office room" treatment is def gonna be mentioned & made into jokes by many many films just like Indian tata's finger stunt , Anniyan's hair infront of camera! ohh yea...Mottai Rajini ,WOW.... he looks just awesome man...AWESOME....!!! never seen any better looking RAJINI in his previous films...
  
  Shreya was ok, they should have placed in some other heroine who can lip sync with the songs & dialogues .. her dance was great and reactions was fine.... but if Sada was placed in this role, she would have lifted the heroine's part a lil higher...
  
  now,to mention the 1 & only part i was FULLY dissapointed in the movie SIVAJI!
  
  1.K.V Anand
  2.Thota Tharani
  
  what on earth was wrong with Shankar to approve the cheap 'store room' sets for Sahana???? what on earth man!!! ok fine, leave out Thota's cheap sets aside, the camera work was even lower ! when i saw KV Anands name in the credits on the Sivaji poster the 1st time in Dec 2005 i knew he is gonna be a spoiler in the songs.... check out RKC's work in Boys songs & not to far Ravi Verman's/Manikandan's work in Anniyan.... Gosh, Sahana was wasted !!
  
  next, Vaaji Vaaji....k thota T. was great here...the sets was expensive & the costumes suited it just rite... the babylon effect was there...ok rite, next camera.... another sotthapal !! gosh... only the last part where he goes upward really showed the WHOLE sets made the audience goes WOW.... and that technique could have done by many cameraman...
  
  Style.... could catch wats up with the song....must watch it again ...
  
  Athiradee... think Shankar wanted to created another Muqabala... ok fine... it was nice,but choreography was
  
  Balleilakka ... only 2 good thing bout this...
  1.Rahman's powerful song
  2.Nayantara looked just GORGEOUS !! TOO GORGEOUS !!!! WOW :shocked:
  
  others = sets ,choreography, camera work, costumes = :banghead:trashly done!!
  
  this department would have been even extraordinare if Sabu Cyril was the oppointed to do the Sets & RKC or Ravi Verman to handle the camera.... what a HUGE waste!!! after watching Sivaji's picturisation, Anniyan was 100 times better man!!!
  
  fights was good...esp Mottai's fight & the fight in music shop.... still cant come out of the dissapointment from the picturisation of the songs....
  
  BGM was excellent, check out Suman's theme music.... very very mysterious beats!! wow!! BGM was just perfect....

Cant wait to go to theatres and see with dts effects.
  ill have to see how the picturization truly is when i watch the whole thing. Maybe what u say is tru or maybe u were expecting too much because its shankar-ARR. well we'll see. hope u r wrong tho for the sake of ARR who recently got nothing but crappy picturizations

  Now, that the Sivaji Tsumani is sweeping just about everywhere, it would be apt to recollect what some people over here have been whining about in a while,
  
  ** SS movies gets a big opening only because they get released
  during the summer holidays (April 14th).
  
  ** SS cannot carry a movie on his own. This was the reason why
  CM was made w/o much of the usual SS stuff, which became
  an all time record MEGA HIT.
  
  
  Now the whole world is witnessing the happenings'. It is unbelievable response everywhere THE BOSS has been screened inspite of the school season. A director of Shankar's stature has just given a typical SS movie with all the ingredients to attract each and every stage of people.
  
  Pure magic of SS's screen presence.....
  
  No doubt, he is an one man industry......................
  
  
  I know, still those people will come back & say why this movie is not running (long enough) as some other movie. Remember for the BOSS it is going to be how many shows the movie was screened as it is a very wide release than any other movie thus far.....Let's see how it would go.

  to SIVAJITHEBOSS & Thineshan, well i dunno bout others,but for me it was a total dissapointment... yea true... i went in the theater with that hope of the picturisation to be atleast better than Anniyan,but alas, it went down the drain,the only 1 which had the Shankar-ARR effect was Vaaji....the rest ... i dont even dare to compare Sivaji with Boys, when Sabu Cyril can make trash items look awefully beautiful in a song, Thota Tharani made decent items looked trash... cant digest those dancers, the bluesky cardboard background & 1960s feel in the sets....
  
  well good luck with watching the movie in theater, trust me... the movie is superb...!!

  OK, managed to watch Sivaji with a fellow Hubber, at the World's tallest building (or is it 2nd tallest now?) yesterday...
  
  Expected a Shankar film.
  
  Instead saw a Rajini film.
  
  Shankar was only evident in the grandeur sets seen in the songs. Thotta Tharani is actually the hero. Vaaji vaaji and Sahana song settings were out of the world.
  Otherwise, I wonder why this is the most expensive Indian movie ever made. Really, there is no need for great expenditure for this kind of "story."
  I also wondered, "idhukkaagavaa rendu varusham kaaththirundhOm?" and still cannot understand the reason for shrouding in secrecy.
  
  Oh, dont get me wrong, Sivaji fans will lap it up and most will be happy with Sivaji.
  
  As for me, Sivaji is all style with very little substance.

  one more thing: all can play the game, "spot the star" everyone who is someone (2nd 3rd range) actor gets an appearance.
  
  Shreya is extremely eye cooling. Sivaji is a must see for all her devotees. Even those who are indifferent to her, will enjoy her.
  
  Vivek is vivek; nothing really outstanding. There are really no witty jokes. Lots of word play though and many lines are said for cat calls.
  
  Manivannan, Vadivukarasi, Solomon Papiah, etc all do thier roles aptly.
  
  Nayanthara is slim and extremely beautiful in that one song.

  its no secret that Shankar ranks in top3 directors for most ARR fans.......and its also no secret that ARR has been his saviour in dire straits like Kadhalan,Jeans and Boys(even god cannot save that movie)......so, out of that akkarai, naangal paarthu vazharndha payyan-gara muraila solluran
  
  1. Please stop this one man v System stories.....venaam, venaam, azhudhuruvaen
  2. Please stop working with sujatha......just to change things.....there are other such good people like R.Sundarrajan,Ramesh kanna, SJ.Suryah etc. etc....
  3. Please stop plundering producer's money.......avanga enna paavam pannanga??
  4. Please stop making movies using 2000 feet film and releasing only 800 feet out of it.........
  5. Please make a movie in 6 months and show to the world that u r capable of it.....
  6. Please change ur assistant directors.......get a management grduate amongst them......or a s/w engineer (my notice period with my current employer is just 1 month )
  
  shankar - take a whip for spoiling shivaji .........you still have many admirers who are expecting a lot out of u ....we would like to put a thousand poke and hammer icons who have made fun at u.........please dont let us down again & again
  
  at the end of the day - its just rajini and his fans who are going to save this movie

  Hey Guys I watched the movie last night I and I would rate Not Awesome at the same time overly bad. It was avg and def not worth all the hype and hoopla surrounding it.
  
  C'mon guys u rajini fans tell me after waiting for 2 yrs u get a movie that is just avg and u are happy with that. Shankar did not utilise Rajini to fullest of extent at all. He just was pushing his luck trying to use Rajini image all the while.Why in the hell did he even make Rajini imitate so many other stars in one movies..Has he forgotten Rajini himself is a icon and does not need to imitate no one??
  
  Even the Impact of Character Anniyan was not given to Rajini.U could not feel the impact.Too Many unncessary fights, Music shop fight, the car fight was all unnecessary at all. Comedy also was not upto the mark. But at least the climax was good and only the climax scenes are standing in my mind...Others have not created a Impact...Ponga paa...Shankar has wasted a Golden oppurtunity Imo...And I think it won;t have a better run then CM primarily due to Family audience...I think for this movie there will be less family audience as the days goes by.
  
  Positives (+)
  
  Mottai Boss (I loved him to be honest with ya!I really enjoyed those short moments when he came out like that, good to see him play his part as actor but Shankar never played his part well)
  Rajini
  Shreya
  Song Picturisation
  Climax
  Suman
  Songs
  Rajini Costumes
  
  Negative (-)
  
  Shankar (Has spoiled the movie, Rajini has placed too much trust in him)
  Comedy
  Unnessary Fights ("Two" fights too many)
  Never used Rajini to the fullest of extent
  Imitation of Other actors
  Length of movie
  Same story yet again from our "legendary dir"
  Suman (I think he is too refined to play this role )
  
  On whole The movies needs to back to the editor for more editing and cutting..Cutting a few scenes might help the cause better.
  
  On the whole 2.5/5

  haha..as expected. See, he is no fan boy. So, don't expect your 'expected reviews' from him. He will give an objective take. Be it Water or Parutheeviran. It wouldn't be a blind ara-verkaardu review like the ones from kamath (who himself thinks/rates/likes Brangan more).
  
  Chumma calling him names because he didn't give you an expected review is bullsh!t. As for his reviews, even I don't agree with him always. I thought Mumbai express was crap. He liked it. So, there you go...

  see buddy, nobody is honest or unbiased nowadays........they all carry a bias and show it when they get the oppurtunity which is writing review..........i dont think there is any unbiased neutral reviewer left on this earth .....
  
  for me, if its a commercial movie - its non-fans/family audience's reaction - which is most important.......if its a class movie - then my own perspective is important.....seriously, i stopped searching for reviews on blogs after a plethora of bias-dipped reviews.....
  
  so, watever brangan says - shivaji fans - better forget it.....its not genuine

  Okay I agree. So, I will just take what you said above, to discount Sivaji fans views/ reviews. Because, its even more biased.
  
  As for criticism, reviews - I agree, that one has to judge the movie himself. But, when someone sees an honest review, one tends to agree with the reviewer. So, I concur THIS TIME with Brangan.

Shivaji just rocks.... whether u like it or not!! ohh come on... there wasnt logic in previous Shankar's film & even previous Rajini films, so y talking bout it now... if he expects a heroine to be heroine, he should take a time travel back to the 1930s or better still ask him to go way back to that Indus Valley time!! he would fit in perfectly!! wut i said bout him in the bolded font really suited him... i do not need to mind my words but u need to watch ur steps here bro...
