  Yes, rajini has single-handedly carried the entire movie in his shoulders. Salutes to Rajini, you are the man
  Needless to say, option #5 will lead the poll

  Something is wrong with the poll! The first option I created was,
  
  "Awesome: I got what I wanted"
  
  I dont see it here... I see #2 twice!

  City Buzz: Rajnikanth Made Hyderabad 'Cooooooool'!
  
  Rajni Kanth made Hyderabad cool now. Yes, that's with his mannerism word in the film 'Sivaji'. It has been a routine word in Hyderabad where many use 'Cool'.
  
  But now Rajni brought bigger glory to that word and everyone started saying 'Coooooooool' now.
  
  We know that some films popularize some words. While 'Nalugu Stambhalata' popularized the word 'Suththi', 'Chitram Bhalare Vichitram' made the word 'Nee Yenkamma' popular. Similarly 'face turning ichchuko' is popularized by 'Gharana Mogudu'. Like wise we have many to list. Now it's 'Coooooooool' with Sivaji.
  
  -------------------
  
  Thats probably the coolest way to say cool

  Hey: The way shankar introduce (insert) all the five songs were just flawless!

  OK, Watched the movie on saturday. Here is honest brief review:
  
  All I can say is Rajni has single handedly carried the film on his shoulders. This is not at all a shankar movie, but a typical Rajni movie. Shankar has also fallen in the SS image and hence the script is pretty weak. All that makes the film watchable is only beacuse of Rajni magic.
  
  As others have pointed out, I don't think the first half was boring(it was decent mix of comedy, romance, great sogs and it had a loose story line with nothing serious). Second half was really good, with Superstar commanding all the way.
  
  I personally felt that the climax fight could have been trimmed a little bit(was too lenghty!). Rajni's mannerisms with chicklets were awesome(Thalaivar mattum eppaditheen ippadi panraaro!!).
  
  About songs: I think they are the best I have seen for any Rajnikanth movie ever. Felt Ballelakka was colorfully picturized. Style song was awesome with Thalaivar sporting different looks. What took my breath away was Athiradee song. Rajni looked smashing and I want to see the movie/own a copy just for that song alone(dunno why, but he looks ravishig in those rich suites!). Vaaji and Sahara were beautiful and Shriya looked expolsively hot in Vaaji song
  
  KV Anand cinematography was top class and Antony I think has done his best.
  
  My Score- 7/10. The movie is definitely watchable. If given a chance I would watch it again (when the ticket rates go down here in San Jose!)
  
  The movie is all about thalaivar's style and you may not wanna miss it!

  Quote:

  They sure did.... But I'm saying, if they all did the same parts for another hero, the outcome would be different! You know what I mean?

  
  
  The level of success would have been different depending of which hero did it ofcourse rajini cant be matched.. so many places so many theatres so many shows.. still 100%
  
  every fan would want their fav hero to have an entry like in athiradee song

  I felt the chilli scene and the firecracker lighting in his mouth were the alternatives for Thalaivar's 'smoke' style! tats where sankar steps in really!

  Coming to the songs, one of my friend said, he liked ballaeillaka picturisation very much! He said its very colourful and the cameraman has done a grt job, but I thought Rajini really struggled to dance in that song and Nayan was the saving grace!

  It's funny! I thought he looked very old and had a hard time dancing to that song... But my friend was all praise for the picturisation! He's like nice idea to have had the side-dancers with Rajini's face...

  Some nice things I noticed when he emulates the 3 legends...
  
  * Sivaji - His face expressions! Tried to move his lips, and the subtle dance movements!
  
  * MGR - His face expressions after kissing the heroine!
  
  * Kamal - The way he shakes his hips and body! I never even expected Rajini could do that... And he looked ultra-slim and young in that costume (young prolly cos he hid his face with shades and beard)!

  Shankar dint intent to have a seperate punch dialogue or anything, but tried to gel it with the normal flow of dialogues! That way, I think this is one of the best punches Rajini has ever said...
  
  Bad guy: Ipdi thaniyaaa vanthu maatikitiyae?
  
  Rajini: Panninga thaan da kootamaaa varum! Singam, single-aa thaan varum!
  
  Actually, when all those bad guys hold Rajini, I thought they were gonna beat the crap out of him... But then this dialogue kicks in at the right time, and I knew we were in for some stunts there!

  Buddysathi - Listen to me, Shankar might have 'compromised' the script, to make Rajini look smashing for his fans - but no one can digest some of the most 'disgusting' scenes in the movie. In this case, It's racist - And we talk about other countries.

  Thilak: I have seen such scenes in a LOT of thamizh movies and people laugh for it in theaters as well On shankar, poor him. He was under tremendous pressure to deliver, succeeded only with Rajini!

  
  
  yes.
  
  I hate 'Fair and lovely' ad commercials. And same goes for few songs/scenes in different movies.
  
  The film could have avoided 'irritations', had it avoided this whole 'skin colour' worries, it could have avoided few people from squirming in their seats.
  
  AND -> Rajini is what he is, because of his Dravidian looks. Adha vechu velayaduradu

  Shankar did a great job in EVERYTHING! The songs, stunts, sets, costumes, etc etc... He just did not deal with a STRONG ENOUGH plot! That's my only concern... He did a wonderful job, no doubt!

  yeah, even I did'nt like the Solomon paapaya's daughters painted dark, a slight tinge of racism there! but, I can tell u if we wanna discuss racism in movies, we can open a separate thread where I will let u know the ultimate racism stuff in tamil cinema!

  4 yrs bak, me and my cousins met him at his bangalore residence to give wedding invitation of my cousin ( My uncle and Thalaivar r friends)! It jus happened for 20 mins, but thailavar was really simplicity personified! He asked like " enna saapdireenga?" then he offered butter milk and was kinda apologising tone that he didnt make to another wedding in our family! He said if he's in chennai he'll definitely come and believe me thalaivar kept his words! He came in a stunning dhoti, white shirt along with his wife ! Tat was the time, he held photo shoot for 'Jaggubhai' , so Thalaivar was so well groomed!

  சிவாஜி மாபெரும் வெற்றி: ஏவிஎம்
  
  சிவாஜி உலகெங்கும் மாபெரும் வெற்றி பெற்றுள்ளது. பல்வேறு சாதனைகளைப் படைத்து வருகிறது என்று தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் ஏவி.எம். சரவணன் மற்றும் எம்.எஸ்.குகன் ஆகியோர் சந்தோஷமாக கூறியுள்ளனர்.
  
  உள்ளூரில் மட்டுமல்லாது வெளிநாடுகளிலும் சிவாஜி மாபெரும் வெற்றி பெற்றுள்ளதாக ஏவி.எம். சரவணன் கூறியுள்ளார். இதுகுறித்து அவர் கூறுகையில், படம் ரிலீஸான நாள் முதல் அதிக அளவிலான பிரிண்டுகள் கேட்டு வெளிநாடுகளிலிருந்து ஆர்டர்கள் குவிந்தவண்ணம் உள்ளது.
  
  அமெரிக்காவுக்கு இன்று 7 கூடுதல் டிஜிட்டில் பிரிண்டுகளும், மலேசியாவுக்கு 3 கூடுதல் டிஜிட்டல் பிரிண்டுகளும் அனுப்பியுள்ளோம். ஆனால் இது போதாது, 10 வேண்டும் என்று மலேசிய விநியோகஸ்தர்கள் கோரியுள்ளனர்.
  
  படத்தின் வியாபாரம் குறித்து நாங்கள் மிகுந்த மகிழ்ச்சி அடைந்துள்ளோம். சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினிகாந்த்துடன் மீண்டும் இணைந்து மாபெரும் வெற்றிப் படத்தைக் கொடுத்ததற்காக பெருமைப்படுகிறோம்.
  
  எப்போதுமே சினிமாவில் ரஜினிக்கென்று தனி ஆதிக்கம் உள்ளது. அது மீண்டும் நிரூபணமாகியுள்ளது.
  
  தமிழ் சூப்பர் ஸ்டாராக இதுவரை இருந்து வந்த ரஜினிகாந்த் சிவாஜி மூலம் உலக சூப்பர் ஸ்டாராக மாறியுள்ளார்.
  
  தற்போது சிவாஜியை மலாய், சீன மொழிகளில் டப் செய்யக் கோரிக்கைகள் வந்துள்ளன. ஆனால் இப்போதைக்கு எங்களிடம் அந்தத் திட்டம் இல்லை. இதுகுறித்து இயக்குநர் ஷங்கர், ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மானிடம் கலந்து பேசி முடிவெடுக்கவுள்ளோம்.
  
  அமெரிக்கா உள்ளிட்ட பல நாடுகளில் உள்ள எங்களது விநியோகஸ்தர்கள், கூடுதல் தியேட்டர்களில் படத்தைத் திரையிட வேண்டும் என்று கோரி வருகின்றனர்.
  
  பல வெளிநாட்டு தியேட்டர்களில் சிவாஜி மேலும் ஒரு வாரத்திற்கு நீட்டிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. வெளிநாடுகளில் ஒரு இந்தியப் படம் இந்த அளவுக்கு அதிக காலத்திற்கு திரையிடப்படுவது இதுவே முதல் முறையாகும், இது ஒரு புதிய சாதனையும் ஆகும் என்றார் சரவணன்.
  
  சிவாஜி 30க்கும் மேற்பட்ட நாடுகளில் திரையிடப்பட்டுள்ளதாம். வெளிநாடுகளில் ஜேம்ஸ் பாண்ட் படத்திற்கு நிகரான கூட்டம் அலைமோதுகிறதாம்.
  
  சிவாஜியின் இந்த மாபெரும் வெற்றி குறித்து கோலிவுட் தரப்பிலிருந்து இதுவரை யாரும் வாயே திறக்கவில்லை. அவர்களுக்கு இது ஒரு புது அனுபவம்.

  Rajnikant: Reigning boss of Indian celluloid

  In cinema halls in Chennai, Hyderabad and Mumbai, frontbenchers and the so-called suave balcony crowd alike were seen hooting, whistling, clapping, slogan chanting, dancing and throwing confetti every time their hero made an appearance, broke into a dance, delivered a punch line or hit the villain on the silver screen.

  2 quick thoughts!
  
  * Rajini's face expressions in SAHAANA Song! Awesome postures he'll show at many instances! Very matching for a romantic-melody... I guess it comes with experience! But Rajini was terrific there...
  
  * The best getup in STYLE song, was when he comes in that ultra-cool bike in blonde long hair... And does that moon-walk front wards near the glass wall!

  'Sahaana' is not needed at all, sankar & arr shud have come with some fast folk number (Though RK wud have struggled to dance , shreya wud have compensated for that ). 'Sahaana' was a speed breaker!

  As an audio album, its a very well packaged one! But in the movie, 'Sahaana' was the only 'dhum' factor! There is no wrong in having 2 fast folk nos , which will have a grt impact on the movies's pace ( ppl r compalining abt the lenght of the movie)! Believe me , middle-age ppl love kuthu songs than melody! esp 'Men wud be Men'!

  We have read reports of the movie's first day first show from Mumbai, Karnataka, USA (where reportedly Indians bought tickets for 21$) and Malaysia. The film will be dubbed into Mandarin Chinese and released in the rest of South East Asia according to its distributor and he is confident that it will be released in more than 30 theaters in that language! The Consulate General of USA in Chennai attends the first day first show and thinks it worth penning his experience for a national daily!

  Shivaji's Record-Breaking Collection :: AVM
  
  From ORKUT
  
  AVM Saravanan and M.S.Guhan are extremely happy over the response from the viewers for superstar Rajini's Shivaji from all over the world.
  
  News is coming in about the overwhelming crowd turning in to watch the movie, both within the country, as well as overseas. AVM Saravanan says, 'from the day one of Shivaji release, there is an increasing demand for more prints from many countries. Today we sent 7 more digital prints to USA and 3 more to Malaysia. But the Malaysian exhibitors told that these prints are inadequate and have compelled me to send 10 more. We are extremely happy over the business of the film. We are proud to be associated with the superstar once again as he always proves his dominance over the industry. It is our pleasure in saying that the Tamil superstar is now a global superstar after Shivaji...
  
  According to the production house, Shivaji has been released in more than 30 countries, including India. Huge crowd has been witnessed everywhere where the movie was released, and the opening for the film is just equivalent to a James Bond movie. The Kollywood box office pundits are at loss of words to comment on the film's huge success, and are totally awestruck by this new experience.
  
  Saravanan says, 'There are demands to dub the movie into other languages, including Malay and Chinese. We are not planning anything now and will consider the demands only after consulting director Shankar and music-composer A. R. Rahman. Our exhibitors from many countries, including the US, are requesting me to increase the number of shows. In most of the overseas theaters, Shivaji shows will be extended for one more week. It is an all- time record for any Indian film abroad... "

  How did Rajni appear white in Sivaji? 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.

""படம் வெளியான ஒரு மணி நேரத்தில் 100 சதவீதப் பார்வையாளர்கள் வந்த அனுபவமும் இதுவே முதன்முறை. இரு தியேட்டர்களிலும் அனைத்து காட்சிகளுக்கான இருக்கைகள் ஏற்கெனவே 90 சதவீதம் அடுத்த வாரம் வரை விற்பனையாகிவிட்டது ஒரு சாதனை''. ''பஹ்ரைனில் இப்படம் குறைந்தது ஒரு மாதத்திற்கு ஓடும் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது'' என்று பாலன் மேலும் தெரிவித்தார்.

  Ajith, Vijay impressed with Sivaji
  IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, June 19, 2007]
  
  
  After Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan, Ajith and Vijay are considered the money-spinners in Kollywood. Movies starring Ajith and Vijay have never failed to rake in moolah at the box office.
  
  Both the prominent actors of Tamil cinema were spellbound after watching Rajnikanth's Sivaji. Ajith, who is currently shooting for Billa, a remake of Rajnikanth's yesteryear blockbuster, watched Sivaji at Kuala Lumpur in an exclusive premiere along with Malaysian Minister Datho Samuvel. Impressed with movie, he heaped laurels on both Rajnikanth and Shankar.
  
  Vijay managed to watch the movie at Prasad Labs in Hyderabad along with the likes of Mahesh Babu and others. Spellbound by the looks of Rajnikanth, Vijay poured encomiums on Rajnikanth and said that he admired Rajnikanth in every frame.
  
  Silambarasan, called Little Super Star in the industry, is currently shooting at Theni for Kaalai. He watched the movie at a theatre in Theni and was highly impressed.

  'Sivaji' draws good opening in Bangalore
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, June 18, 2007]
  
  
  Although the release of 'Sivaji' is in low key the 13 Tamil prints and 4 Telugu prints has made the Rajnikanth fans to cheer up. The four Telugu prints of 'Sivaji' are in Mulbagal, Chickballapur and Gauribidanur and Chintamani Telugu belt areas of Karnataka. In the next few weeks the film will be released in Mysore, Mandya, Hassan and Coorg areas of Karnataka.
  
  On Friday morning distributor of the film H.D.Gangaraju arranged for a preview of the film 'Sivaji' to film media persons at Badami House. At this premier there was heavy crowd. Nearly 200 persons stood on both the sides of Badami house and watched the film.
  
  A fan of Rajnikanth came straight to distributor Gangaraju and requested him to allocate all the four shows tickets to him so that he could give free tickets to Rajni fans. Gangaraju pointed his fingers to Urvashi theatre but that could not materialize for the fan. In black tickets were sold from Rs.1000 to 5000 rupees per ticket. Rajni wages war against black money in the film 'Sivaji' is interesting to note here. The theatres in Bangalore hiked the admission rates from Rs.20 to 200 rupees.
  
  Rajni fans performed 'pal' abhishek, aarti and broke coconuts at the cut outs of their Superstar. The crowds went berserk and there was even lathi charge at the Ajantha Theatre.There was a even traffic jam on the streets outside Ajantha and Cauvery.

  Rajanikant: Reigning boss of Indian celluloid
  Priyanka Khanna
  
  New Delhi: The hype and hysteria surrounding the release of Sivaji: the Boss in India and overseas needs to be seen to be believed but there is no doubt about who is the country's biggest superstar.
  
  Shivaji Rao Gaekwad, or Rajanikant to most of the people, who was never seen as a hero by the Mumbai based Hindi filmdom or Bollywood, is today the undisputed king of Indian cinema.
  
  He took home a wad of Rs160 million for Sivaji which is the most expensive Indian film ever. Even A-list Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan charge about Rs.90 million per film.
  
  Before 57-year-old Rajanikant's latest venture hit the marquees this week, it was a common sight to see fans performing ablution by milk on his cut-outs, breaking coconuts in front of the film's posters to ward off evil forces, offering prayers and standing in never-ending serpentine queues to get a ticket.
  
  Fans could be seen gathered outside single-screen theatres as well as multiplex theatres prior to the film's screening and chanted slogans. In Mumbai, fans were seen with hair dyed blond (like Rajani in the film), bursting crackers, distributing sweets and flowers.
  
  In cinema halls in Chennai, Hyderabad and Mumbai, frontbenchers and the so-called suave balcony crowd alike were seen hooting, whistling, clapping, slogan chanting, dancing and throwing confetti every time their hero made an appearance, broke into a dance, delivered a punch line or hit the villain on the silver screen.
  
  Rajani's histrionics in Sivaji with the coin, sunglasses and even his bald pate, have been hailed like there was no tomorrow. And the Rajani mania is not just griping India but according to reports desi fans wrecked at least 10 cinemas across Malaysia after a nationwide premiere of Sivaji: The Boss was either delayed or cancelled due to technical glitches.
  
  Bollywood's internationally best known star Bachchan's latest film Jhoom Barabar Jhoom , which released the same day as Sivaji , could not even generate houseful collections on the opening day. Though the film did take a decent opening and is expected to cover its investments from metros and multiplexes, it pales in comparison with the response to Sivaji.
  
  The Rajani mania is at its zenith in the US and Japan as well. Reports from the US said there is unprecedented rush for tickets of Sivaji being screened in major cities.
  
  No other Tamil film - be it Chandramukhi, Anniyan, Ghajini, Vettayadu Vilayadu - has attracted the kind of craze that has preceded the Sivaji release in the US. A similar story is taking place in Japan where Rajanikant is immensely popular, according to reports.
  
  Supernova, superstar, 'Style Mannan'...the Periya Thaliavar of Tamil filmdom has many adjectives attached to his name. Now that his latest movie is said to have grossed nearly Rs.20 million in advance bookings from 17 theatres in Chennai itself, it wouldn't be wrong to anoint him as the biggest star of India.
  
  The only time Bollywood cast Rajanikant in an important role was in Anil Sharma's Farishtey , J. Om Prakash's Bhagwan Dada and Wafadar , which were forgotten soon after. But except for his crisp Tamil accent, a Romeo-style red scarf, a cowboyish swagger, there was little to write home about his Bollywood career.
  
  Rajanikant has come up the hard way. He used to work as a bus conductor before he discovered his talent for acting and enrolled in an 'action school'. And since then, there has been no looking back.
  
  Sivaji is the superstar's 100th Tamil film. It is his ninth movie under the banner of AVM Productions. With every movie he does, he just seems to get bigger and better. Clearly, for him the world is not enough.

  'Sivaji' makes Rajnikanth India's highest paid actor!
  
  
  The frenzy surrounding Rajnikanth's 100th Tamil film, Sivaji, has reached it's peak. It is a mad rush at cinema theatres in Chennai for advance booking for the forthcoming release.Thousands of cine goers have been queuing up outside theatres to secure advance bookings for the film since June 10, when the booking began.
  
  It is the costliest movie made in Tamil with a budget of more than $15 million! With the musical score given by A R Rehman, the movie deals with contemporary issues from politics to development. The film is supposed to hit theatres on June 15. The film will also be released in Canada, Europe, Australia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Malaysia.
  
  "The movie is releasing on June 15 and there has been an overwhelming response since the bookings began. With a huge crowd waiting to pick up tickets from early in the morning, there is a lot of excitement and hype about the movie," said Supriya, communication manager of Satyam Theatre in Chennai.
  
  The much awaited and the most hyped film has set the cash registers ringing for theatre owners, as all the cinema halls have been booked at least for another month. "I am a Rajnikanth fan and I have been trying to get a ticket for the film. Somehow I managed to get a ticket for Rs.1000 in one of the theatres and I am very happy as I don't miss any of Rajnikanth's films," said Gandhi, a film buff and Rajnikanth fan.
  
  Normally the prices of the tickets range from Rs.50 to 120 that has been fixed by the state government to make movie watching affordable. However, scores of Rajnikanth fans were disappointed as they could not get advance bookings for even a month ahead. "I have been trying to get tickets for the last two days. But all the theatres are booked for next two weeks. It will definitely take us two to three months to get tickets but I am sure, we will get them," said Raj Mohan, another movie buff.
  
  Six hundred prints of the film have been distributed in India and abroad, which is expected to be screened in about 2,500 theatres across the world. A sizeable number of prints have been sent to America and Japan where Rajnikanth has a huge fan following.
  
  Rajnikanth exploded into Japanese consciousness when his popular film Muthu ran to packed houses in some theatres in Japan a few years ago. The Japanese are eagerly waiting to have a glimpse of Rajnikanth in his new film, which is to be released simultaneously in Chennai and Tokyo. Rajnikanth, popularly known as "Odori Maharaja," has mesmerised the Japanese with his machismo and flamboyance.
  
  It has made Rajnikanth the country's highest paid actor who has charged 16 million rupees for the movie. His previous film Chandramukhi had made a record in the southern film industry by running continuously for 800 days.

  For taxmen, Rajni is the boss 19 Jun, 2007 l 0216 hrs ISTlShiva Kumar N D/TIMES NEWS NETWORK BANGALORE: The debate on who is the bigger superstar — Rajnikant or Amitabh Bachchan — may be unending. But ask taxmen in the state and they will vouch for the southern phenomenon. At least due to the revenue he generates. The big budget Sivaji— The Boss, is raining big money for the commercial tax department. The Rajnikant-starrer has fetched taxmen more money than any other non-Kannada film screened in Bangalore over the last two years. With the film running to packed houses, taxmen are collecting revenue in the form of entertainment tax from theatre owners screening the mega movie. A whopping Rs 11 lakh a day! "Each theatre is fetching us Rs 1 lakh revenue per day. With 11 theatres screening the movie, we are earning Rs 11 lakh per day from the movie," said senior commercial tax department officials. Kannada films are exempted from entertainment tax, while non-Kannada movies have to pay an entertainment tax of 40 per cent. The ticket pricing in these theatres range between Rs 40 and Rs 250. Considering the huge fan following and the hype surrounding the movie, officials are keeping a close vigil on the theatres so that the owners do not evade tax. "We have inspected the collections, but have not detected any tax evasion. Many theatres, especially those transformed into theatres from tents, are known to evade taxes by not producing accurate collections," said a senior official. 7 arrested The police arrested seven persons in the city on Monday for selling tickets of the movie, Sivaji, in black. Three persons were arrested at the Eshwari theatre in Banashankari III Phase, while four others were arrested at the PVR cinemas. Three mobile phones, nine tickets and Rs 1,200 in cash has been recovered from them.

  Will daughter direct Rajni’s next film? 18 Jun, 2007 l 0243 hrs ISTlT S SREENIVASA RAGHAVAN/TIMES NEWS NETWORK CHENNAI: Rajnikanth’s Sivaji: The Boss is here for a long haul. As its producers breathe easy, the focus now shifts to the superstar’s next film. Rajni being choosy about his directors, will he let his daughter get behind the camera in his next film? "It’s a dream for any film-maker to direct my father. Being my father’s hardcore fan, it’s my dream too," Rajini’s daughter Soundarya told TOI. She is no novice to the celluloid world. Her Ocher studio in Chennai is one of the few studios in south India that gives comprehensive post-production facilities. She was also associated with two of her father’s films — Chandramukhi and Sivaji itself. "Sivaji has just been released. We’re running around a lot. Let this be over. I’ll talk to him about his next film," said Soundarya, who’s busy directing an animated movie, Sultan: The Warrior, featuring Rajnikanth. But, will Rajni see an able director in his daughter? The question is relevant because the actor has done only seven films in the last 12 years. Of them, six were super-duper hits excepting Baba (2002). "The directors Rajni chose played crucial roles in converting his films into huge successes," an industry source pointed out, adding Rajni would be a reluctant to bet on a dark horse. All his films were directed by well-established film-makers. Badsha (1995) and Baba (2002) were directed by Suresh Krishna, Muthu (1995) and Padayappa (1999) by K S Ravikumar and Arunachalam (1997) by C Sundar. Chandramukhi (2005) was directed by P Vasu while Sivaji has been directed by Shankar.

  Rajni moves from masses to classes 17 Jun, 2007 l 0053 hrs ISTlTIMES NEWS NETWORK Click here to see the included image. SOUTHPAW IN ACTION: A One of India's highest-paid actors, Rajnikanth, addresses the media during the preview of his latest film, 'Sivaji' in Hyderabad (AP Photo) CHENNAI: Sivaji has become the password for every IT professional worth his chip in this southern hub. After having lapped all the glory with the front-benchers by saving street urchins in numerous films, superstar Rajnikant has reinvented himself by playing a corporate honcho. "That’s cool buddy, really cool!" That’s how Rajni goes in his new avatar as a US-returned software professional in his latest blockbuster: Sivaji: The Boss. This change in script, a stroke of genius, is a pointer towards the altered cinematic idiom aimed at drawing in IT professionals to his latest film, the reason why IT majors have made group bookings of entire theatres for special screening of the film. Business development manager of Mayajaal Multiplex, Thirugnanasambandham, told TOI: "We’re now showing Sivaji 31 times a day. Our cineplex has 4,650 seats. Of these, corporate bookings account for roughly a whopping 70%." IT bigwig Cognizant has hired Mayajaal for 23 special shows. "We held six shows for them on Saturday. Next week we will hold six more. Tentatively, Cognizant has also booked us for 15 more shows over the next two weeks," Thiru said. HDFC and ICICI are also part of the corporate combo. While ICICI took the first-day-first show, HDFC, it is learnt, will take two shows on Tuesday and Friday. Besides, Virtusa (an IT firm with a large Chennai presence) had five shows on Saturday. Certain corporates, like TCS, Accenture and Advent Net have gone in for single shows. "We’ve also been heavily booked by event management firms like Innovation, Sanguine Media and the like. Because, Sivaji is an excellent opportunity for them to give value addition to their corporate clients," said Thiru. Speaking to TOI, Quintegra Solutions MD Shankar Raman said: "We took all our employees with their families to Sivaji for the first show at Mayajaal. We also called our suppliers, friends, fans and customers. All of them were treated to snacks and beverages," he said. Asked why this sudden corporate interest in Sivaji, Shankar said, "IT employees work long hours. They need to relax a bit for better performance. So we thought this was the right way to entertain our teams. We enjoyed every bit of it," he said. A source in Cognizant said, IT interest in Sivaji is not surprising. "The average age of IT employees is 24. Fresh from college, they’re all Rajni fans," he said.

  Only Rajni can! 15 Jun, 2007 l 0000 hrs IST Rajni's fans across the globe believe that he can set the screen on fire. Hyderabad Times decodes the phenomenon that the Tamil star is. Rajnikanth may be one of India's highest paid actors today but a long time ago he was a humble bus conductor with stars in his eyes. When he joined the Tamil film industry , he struggled for years - to pay his room rent, to commute in Chennai and to be simply accepted as an actor. The 57-year-old is the heartthrob of millions today and not just in Tamil Nadu. Rewind: His real name is Shivaji Rao Gaekwad and his mother tongue is Marathi. He made his debut in Apoorva Raagangal but nobody noticed him, except for a few filmmakers. That didn't make Rajnikanth's life in tinsel town easy. He hired single rooms in a small lodge in a suburb because he couldn't afford anything better. Bharati Raja made him a big villain but the film critics of the 1970s found Rajnikanth a cruel joke. In 1980, when this correspondent went to interview the man who was just emerging from doomsday predictions, he willing to answer only if "you remember to print my answers verbatim." He said: "I only fear god and my conscience. When I started to make a living, I did not know that one day I would come to Madras and become a film actor. No matter how famous I become, I'll always be a pal to my pals, because they are my roots," the not-yet superstar had said. "When I left Bangalore, I wanted to be an actor, not a star, because of three things: It would fetch me a little more money than the salary of a conductor. I could choose my women and get plenty of time to sleep - in that order. I have achieved much more. I want nothing more," he said. That was the 1980s. Future perfect: He recalled how he had once gone to chief minister, Jayalalitha's house to talk to her about a role offered to him - to play second fiddle to her. "I was on a scooter and felt sheepish. The film didn't work out for various reasons, but I decided that one day I would have my house in the same area she lived in - Poes Gardens," Rajnikanth said, with a glint in his eye. By 1990, Rajnikanth became a superstar. One day in 1992, as his car was making its way, a police jeep overtook his vehicle and forced it to stop. They wanted chief minister J Jayalalitha's car to pass. Something snapped and Rajnikanth got out of his car, walked down the road to reach a kiosk to buy a packet of cigarettes. He shook the pack, took out one - and began to smoke. Within minutes, a small crowd gathered to have a glimpse of the star. As news spread, a huge multitude began milling around the area. Rajnikanth puffed away as he watched the whole area become grid locked. It became impossible for the chief minister to come out of her residence . Finally, realising their folly, the police begged Rajnikanth to drive away. He shrugged, got into his car and drove away. It was the star's way of making a chief minister understand that she may be the administrative boss of the state, but the icon of the masses was indeed Rajnikanth. Baring Baba, all his releases have accorded manifold returns . Rajnikanth's last film Chandramukhi, released in 2005, has been the biggest grosser in the history of south Indian films. He has now quit smoking on medical advice. His fans in Tamil Nadu burst crackers on the roads, bathe his cut outs with milk, beer and whisky before his films get released. STAR CHART Rajnikanth - Rs 16 crores Hrithik Roshan- Rs 12 crores SRK- Rs 7- 8 crores Chiranjeevi- Rs 10 crore (including distribution rights) Amitabh Bachchan-Rs 3 crores *Approximate figures per film, according to industry sources It's Rajni all over After much speculation, the Rs 65-crore movie Sivajihas hit the screens in the city.A record 300 prints are released in AP, including 43 cinemas in the twin cities. Unlike other Tamil films, this flick is being simultaneously released in about 10 countries, including USA,West Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Russia and Japan. Creating a record of sorts, the film will be released in 2000 centres across the globe. Only in the US, it is being screened in Chicago,Virginia,Albany, Rochester,Vermont, Maine, Mississippi,Alabama, Kansas, Indianapolis,Wyoming, Montana, Kentucky, New Orleans and Las Vegas, Omaha, Kentucky and Jackson.Tickets of Sivaji were sold much before the release. Rajni mania has gripped not only Tamil Nadu but across the globe.

  Ajith, Vijay impressed with Sivaji IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, June 19, 2007] After Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan, Ajith and Vijay are considered the money-spinners in Kollywood. Movies starring Ajith and Vijay have never failed to rake in moolah at the box office. Both the prominent actors of Tamil cinema were spellbound after watching Rajnikanth's Sivaji. Ajith, who is currently shooting for Billa, a remake of Rajnikanth's yesteryear blockbuster, watched Sivaji at Kuala Lumpur in an exclusive premiere along with Malaysian Minister Datho Samuvel. Impressed with movie, he heaped laurels on both Rajnikanth and Shankar. Vijay managed to watch the movie at Prasad Labs in Hyderabad along with the likes of Mahesh Babu and others. Spellbound by the looks of Rajnikanth, Vijay poured encomiums on Rajnikanth and said that he admired Rajnikanth in every frame. Silambarasan, called Little Super Star in the industry, is currently shooting at Theni for Kaalai. He watched the movie at a theatre in Theni and was highly impressed.

  My views on the Songs:
  
  Ballelakka:
  This one is a big disappointment for me. It is picturised weel, but Rajini has failed to keep up the speed in dancing for the tunes.We never expected SS to dance, but his energy is missing in that. Nayan is red hot in that song
  Rating: 3/5
  
  Vaaji Vaaji:
  One of the wonderful set's i've seen in Tamil cinema.The visuals are stunning.The cutie Shreya is so hoooooooooot. I wouldn't have taken my eyes from her if not for Rajini. His long hairs and that getup is.... no words to describe.
  Rating: 4.5/5
  
  The BOSS:
  This rap occurs in the fight sequence and has been used well.
  Rating: 4/5
  
  Style:
  When I heard this one for the first time, I didn't like it. I thought it may not suit our SS.But I liked the music.When I saw the song on the big screen, I was mesmerised by the stunning computer graphics done on the Boss. No wonder it took more than a year to do the graphics for it. It is one of the cleanest graphics i've seen on screen.
  Rating: 5/5
  
  Sahana:
  The stylish Rajini in romantic mood. The sets are too good. I've read in one of the interview by K.V.Anand saying they worked very hard to shoot it coz the light used were reflected by the glass struture erected. A very well shot song
  Rating: 4/5
  
  Athiradi:(My favourite)
  Show casing Rajini, the superstar in the stylish getup in coat, with the guitar is awesome. I couldn't take my eyes from him. Want to see the song again and again just for him.
  Rating 5/5(May be biased)
  
  Will write my review on the movie soon

  Though we may or may not consider the actor's views, what should be seen is that all are dumbfounded by the SS power and his nonchalant acting.
  
  I had earlier said that Sivaji Fans association had passed on the information that the story is a total rehash or no story at all but SS has given the performance not seen before. And see what they told was the Mottai Rajini is to look out for and Rajini has come out with his superb performace.
  
  Don't know in whose direction SS is going to act next? But Sivaji Fans Association are speculating that Rajini might go for KSR's direction and JAGGUBHAI might be revived.

  The reviews are good and the word of mouth is very good except the fact that Shankar is slammed everywhere. Sivaji is turning out to be the biggest blockbuster of Tamil Cinema rewriting all existing records.

  IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, June 19, 2007]
  
  
  Mammootty saw Sivaji in a special screening Thursday in Cochin.
  
  He was in all praise for Rajnikanth for his acting. He also called him a down to earth person in real life.
  
  “Rajnikanth does not have to be starry at all because a halo follows him and his biggest virtue is that he has no pretensions,” Mammooty said.
  
  He appreciated Shankar and Rajnikanth for coming out with a real entertainer

  Shankar to direct Maheshbabu
  IndiaGlitz [Saturday, June 16, 2007]
  
  Director Shankar is known across India as a great creator of cinema. His films 'Gentleman, Premikudu, Oke Okkadu, Jeans, Bharateeyudu, Boys, Aparichitudu and the latest film Sivaji' proved that it is a fact.
  
  It is well aware that Indian Super Star Rajanikanth played in and as 'Sivaji' under his direction and the film is shaking the Box Office and created a sensation.
  
  If Prince Maheshbabu acts in a film under his direction, we can expect wonders. There was a strong rumour in Film Nagar that a film is in the offing in this combination.
  
  Let us hope that the rumour turn into a reality.

  Rajni: The man with the Midas touch
  
  Kishore Singh
  
  
  The country's highest-paid film star is also its most famously reclusive one. Rajnikanth's [Images] latest blockbuster Sivaji: The Boss released this weekend across 760 screens to hysterical audiences as India's most expensive film.
  
  Preceding its box-office debut, the lead actor addressed his fans from Tirupathi, prints were carried on elephant-back accompanied by a traditional band in Kerala's [Images] Sultanpetta to the local Vadakkunthari temple to be handed over by the priest to the theatre manager, and bookings closed a record three weeks in advance.
  
  Star-struck fans flew from across the globe for the screenings for which companies like software giants TCS [Get Quote] and Cognizant had blocked seats. The serpentine queues at cinema halls was akin to that of waiting for darshan at a deity's sanctum sanctorum.
  
  At the centre of this mass adulation is an actor known less for his histrionics than his ability to spin cigarettes in the air, split bullets into two and flip his sunglasses in a way that appeals to frontbenchers.
  
  Yet, the 57-year-old thespian of southern cinema commands audiences that would be the envy of Amitabh Bachchan [Images] or Shah Rukh Khan [Images]. He does one film in two years, is perversely reclusive, has an unexplained following in Japan [Images], and has been churning out hits with regularity. Famously, his roles have remained the same -- the hard-drinking, hard-smoking, street-smart anti-hero who plays an impossible 20-something in his films.
  
  Inexplicably, South India's greatest star, and possibly Asia's second-highest paid actor after Jackie Chan [Images], is Marathi by birth and started out as a bus conductor. Shivaji Rao Gaekwad -- popularly known as Rajnikanth, or Rajni -- whose Sivaji opened on Friday with breakthrough technology being used for the first time in India, has rewritten the rules of celluloid history.
  
  Not only is Sivaji AVM Productions's most expensive film, it has given the star a lighter skin tone in the film. Costume designers from Bollywood, including Manish Malhotra, were specially flown in to create costumes for the actor. French hairstylist Sandrine Verrier Seth worked on different hairstyles to make him look younger.
  
  Completed over 18 months, Sivaji's Super 35 format makes the cinemascope broader and provides a panoramic vision to the viewer. But the technology and razzmatazz has come at a cost -- AVM isn't ready to share how much it has spent, but estimates vary between Rs 60 and Rs 80 crore -- that analysts would normally find difficult to justify.
  
  Yet, the film is not just likely to recover its costs, it could end up making a whooping Rs 150 crore in the first three weeks alone. And Rajni is using the hysteria around Sivaji to promote his next film, Sultan: The Warrior, in the form of a 45-second teaser in screens screening his film.
  
  In fact, Adlabs [Get Quote] is producing its second animation film based on the character of Rajnikanth, the first-ever animation film to be made on a film personality. Being made in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English and directed by Rajnikanth's daughter Soundarya, it is likely to be the most expensive animation film ever made in India.
  
  Also, Hutch-Essar has tied up with AVM on an exclusive deal that includes caller tunes, wallpaper downloads and even contests around the movie. "It's the biggest deal we have done in a regional language around a movie," says a senior executive.
  
  In a record of sorts, 20 percent of Hutch subscribers in Tamil Nadu have downloaded one of the songs from the movie as their caller tunes.
  
  For a mega-movie, Sivaji has spent very little on marketing and promotions -- the 1.5 million fans in over 15,000 fan clubs across the country have done that through word of mouth themselves. In AVM's Rajeshwar theatre, the Rajnikant Fan Association has already booked the cinema hall for three days.
  
  Of Sivaji's 760 prints, 300 have been released in Telegu, 303 in Tamil, 145 have been reserved for foreign shores, and 12 for North India. It is this dichotomy that is hard to understand. For the vast majority of north, west and east India's cinema audiences, Rajnikanth's name rings few bells.
  
  Yet, filmmakers dream of working with him, distributors swear by him, co-actors find it hard to match his screen presence, and frenzied fans refer to him as 'thalaivar' or leader. Though he starred in 1980s Hindi films alongside stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha [Images] and Sridevi [Images] -- and an aberrant Hollywood film, Bloodstone -- he made no inroads into Bollywood's popular culture.
  
  Yet, "he is a complete star," says film analyst Taran Adarsh, "So why should he play the numbers game in Bollywood when he was already a major hit down south?"
  
  Ravi Chopra, managing director of BR Films, insists, "It isn't that he was a flop in Bollywood, it's just that he has his own unique style of acting and dialogue delivery."
  
  Like Adarsh, Chopra finds Rajni the quintessential entertainer, "a total legend whom no star comes close to".
  
  Many compare him with Amitabh Bachchan: after all, he has starred in several remakes of Bachchan films, among them Don and Laawaris, yet he gets paid nearly three times what the Big B [Images] gets. Even in non-southern markets like Mumbai, Sivaji has created records, opening at PVR Cinemas with seven shows at two of its properties and '75 percent advance bookings' over the weekend.
  
  Surprisingly, PVR isn't the only theatre chain that has witnessed such a response. Adlabs, Cinemax India [Get Quote] and Inox [Get Quote] are all in the race. Cinemax India, which is running eight shows across four properties in Mumbai, expects to earn over Rs 6 lakh over the weekend. "We are hoping to buy an additional five prints in the second week," says Devang Sampat, vice president (marketing and programming), Cinemax India.
  
  No wonder Rajni commands the subcontinent's highest price among actors. For Sivaji, his 100th Tamil film (he has acted in a total of 170 films), he is estimated to have been paid about Rs 15 crore, plus commissions, taking the total to around Rs 18-22 crore.
  
  Nor does he lend himself to endorsements. In film after film, he has caricatured himself -- earlier it was through his mannerisms alone, but in recent years, it is through a clever positioning of himself vis-�-vis the supplicant politician, the political party asking him to join them, or his patriotism for Tamil Nadu.
  
  Does he have political ambitions? There are many precedents of stars-turned-politicians in South India. Rajni -- a neighbour of Jayalalitha in Chennai's Poe's Gardens -- has provided support to political parties and issues in the past, but does not seem in any hurry to turn his popular support into open canvassing for himself -- yet.
  
  But his punchlines from his films do contain political advice and conviction, sometimes as double entendre. He might say, "I will do what I say, I will also do what I don't say", in one film, and in another, "When I will arrive, or how I will arrive, nobody will know, but I will arrive when I ought to."
  
  No wonder carnival-like scenes were witnessed on June 10 in Chennai when advance bookings for Sivaji opened -- and not just to suss out Rajni's latest "punch" dialogues.
  
  With advance booking for all shows now closed, the state government directive that any film with a Tamil title cannot be sold for a price over Rs 50 in single screen theatres is suffering a huge setback (though some see it as Rajni's victory) with reports filtering in of tickets being sold in black for anywhere from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000.
  
  Apart from Rajni, what is so special about Sivaji? The movie has assembled some of the biggest names in the Tamil film industry. Produced by AVM, one of the largest and oldest film production houses in India, it has been directed by S Shankar, who has given record hits at the box office to the lilting scores of A R Rehman.
  
  If Sivaji's production cost have scaled new benchmarks, the sale of film rights are the highest in the industry. Abhirami Ramanathan, owner of Abhirami theatres in Chennai and president of the Chennai Theatre Owners' Association, and GV Films, has bought the film rights for the Chennai circle at a whopping Rs 6.25 crore. The film rights are distributed region-wise in other parts of Tamil Nadu.
  
  Already, estimates are that the screening rights in theatres have been sold for Rs 60-70 crore in Tamil Nadu, and overseas rights for an additional Rs 18 crore. Satellite rights for Sivaji have been sold for Rs 4 crore to the yet-to-be-launched Kalaignar TV, a Tamil television channel being planned by the DMK in association with Chennai-based Raj Television network [Get Quote]. Riding on great expectations, AVM Productions is expected to clock revenues of over Rs 150 crore before three weeks are out.
  
  Swaroop Reddy, director, Satyam [Get Quote] Cinemas, says the purchase price for the Chennai city rights is a record figure. For the first time in the history of Tamil cinema, a film will screen simultaneously on 18 screens in Chennai, against an average release on six-seven screens.
  
  Satyam Theatre Complex will exhibit the film on two screens and tickets for the first 10 days have been sold out. "The response has been fabulous," Reddy says, adding that expectations in the corporate sector are also high with a number of companies requesting bulk bookings for their employees -- in vain.
  
  Chennai-based movie theatre chain Pyramid Saimira Theatres has acquired the distribution rights for some parts of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu as well as the Malaysian market. The total exposure of the company to these three markets is about Rs 25 crore and Rajnikant is set to get pulses racing in 200 theatres.
  
  P S Saminathan, managing director, Pyramid Saimira, says the company is expecting returns in the first few weeks and hopes to reap bumper profits. "The Rs 1,100 crore Tamil film industry is much more streamlined than Bollywood. The concept-to-finish chain is much shorter in the Tamil and Telugu film industries."
  
  Reddy says Rajni is the most saleable actor in south India and no other star can hold a torch to him. His movies run successfully not just in Tamil Nadu but also in all the southern states.
  
  Though Chiranjeevi [Images] is the leading star in Andhra Pradesh, he has not been able to spread his popularity across other states. Rajni is on par with top stars in Andhra Pradesh, while in Karnataka, in terms of box office appeal, he is undeniably powerful.
  
  Popular in Malaysia, Japan and Indonesia, Rajni's movies enjoy a minimum guarantee all over the world and almost always notch up huge profits. No wonder, says AVM's CEO Babu S C, "not a single distributor backed out or had an iota of doubt about the returns on their investment."
  
  Sivaji (and Rajnikanth) appear to be laughing all the way from the box office counters even before the projector lights were switched on. The spate of advance bookings has by itself created history in cinema-crazy Chennai.
  
  Sivaji has beaten all previous records and could write a new chapter in the annals of the Tamil film industry. Of course, it would be a corollary to that most viewed chapter of all -- the master actor himself who once famously 'punched lined': 'My way is the unique way.

  Sivaji rocks, Jhoom flops
  
  Patcy N
  
  
  Last week, we saw the release of two big movies. Aditya Chopra's [Images] Jhoom Barabar Jhoom starred Abhishek Bachchan [Images], Bobby Deol [Images], Preity Zinta [Images], Lara Dutta [Images] and Amitabh Bachchan [Images], and Rajnikanth's [Images] Tamil film, Sivaji: The Boss.
  
  
  
  While the former opened to a dull response, the latter is on its way to becoming a blockbuster.
  
  
  
  Even though Yash Raj Films has been giving out hits regularly like Salaam Namaste [Images], Fanaa [Images] and Dhoom: 2, this year, their films have not fared very well at the box office. Their first 2007 release, Ta Ra Rum Pum [Images], did pretty badly in the opening week. Jhoom Barabar Jhoom is heading towards the same fate.
  
  
  
  Given this unexpected turn of fortunes, we asked trade pundit Taran Adarsh what went wrong. "Jhoom Barabar Jhoom is not doing well in India. Its collections have been declining with each passing days. It's a bad film, which was bound to meet with this fate. A brand name can work for three days, but ultimately, content matters. In this case, the audience realised on the very first day that it was a bad film."
  
  
  
  At the same time, Rajni's film is doing extremely well. The Tamil Superstar restricts himself to about one film in two years, but still, the craze for his movies are beyond comparison. Sivaji is doing phenomenally well in the South. In Mumbai, it has released in about 15 theatres, and is doing fantastically well in all. In fact, tickets are being sold for huge amounts in black.
  
  
  
  Trade analyst Indu Mirani tells us why Sivaji is working in theatres. "Sivaji has everything that the public wants," she says. "When the audience goes to the theatre to watch Rajnikanth, they go to see his gimmicks. Evidently, Sivaji has everything the audience loves.
  
  
  
  "But Jhoom Barabar Jhoom doesn't have a basic storyline," she adds. "It is very inconsistent. Films work only if they have a plot but in this case, it is just a series of silly incidences."
  
  
  
  In a lot of the theatres, Rajni's fan clubs have done mass bookings. And people who have watched Sivaji want to watch it over and over again.
  
  
  
  Trade analyst Komal Nahta claims that the fate of a film depends soley on the audience. "Jhoom Barabar Jhoom is not doing well because it has been rejected by the public, as it's a bad film. But Sivaji is doing well because the audience has accepted it, as it is a good film."

  'Sivaji' is the boss in Singapore
  
  Tuesday, June 19, 2007 08:32:39 am
  
  'Sivaji’ is expected to break the record for being the most screened Indian-language movie in theatres across the world. It's also the biggest budget film to ever be produced in India.

  Yeah! And Shankar's presence can also be felt in...
  
  * The Beautiful Songs!
  
  * The Amazing Stunts!
  
  * The Mind-blowing sets and the grandeur!
  
  * The tiny storyline of Black money (societal), and the larger than life hero fighting on it!
  
  * The effort he's put on Rajini's make-over!

  I was particularly impressed with shankar in,
  
  - Usage of MMS in one of the most important scenes
  - Suman's visiting card playing an important role.
  - The visual cue b4 the interval - Change in thalaivar's hairdo
  - The jOsiyam thingi.. Rajini actually *dies*

  Thamizh! Surely, the 2nd time, my perspective was different! I was looking for an in and out Shankar movie, with Rajini acting in it! Hence the disappointment and frustration! After I realized it was a Rajini entertainer with Shankar's direction, I was more relaxed and enjoyed every frame!

  But limited-release hit of the week in the U.K. goes to Indian stunt-heavy actioner "Sivaji," which became the first Tamil-language release to crack the top 10 in Blighty. The Ayngaran International release took $334,849 at 12 (including $73,530 in previews) for a whammo and chart-topping screen average of $27,902.
  
  "Sivaji's" running time in excess of three hours did not dissuade fans of 57-year-old Tamil superstar and lead Rajnikanth -- or "king of styles" as his admirers prefer to call him -- from flocking to the Cineworld circuit

  Rajnikanth's `Sivaji' Makes Up for Lackluster Bollywood Showing
  
  By Nabeel Mohideen
  
  June 19 (Bloomberg) -- After a glittering 2006, Bollywood hasn't delivered a genuine blockbuster all of this year. Even the venerable house of Yash Raj has lost its golden glow.
  
  The Hindi films of some note this year -- ``Bheja Fry,'' ``Cheeni Kum'' and ``Shootout at Lokhandwala'' -- are mostly boutique ventures that clicked in the absence of other fare.
  
  For Indian mainstream cinema's biggest and best this year, look southward to Tamil Nadu, to ``Super Star'' Rajnikanth and his latest vehicle, ``Sivaji: The Boss.''

  againa doubt in storyline.......villain gang "killes" and announces shivaaji si dead. but shreya knows tht he is alive.
  
  my historical doubts are
  on mottai rajini intro, why does shreya looks ashtonished on seeing rajini???
  and why she is not in the standard "widow" getup ?? this is tamil movie afterall
  if she starts to live with mottai, will the purist soceity accept it ??
  
  my [already posted] another doubt is, how come police arrests rajini on the money laundering case, with his Laptop as a proof? an totally un-openable laptop which also crashes at a point or trial

  Shreya explains everything to the CBI and she is the first evidence. His laptop is the most important anyway

  I personally dont go with the numbers on any website! Cos diff sites show diff numbers... I'm not even sure how accurate they are, or how they get all this info! Unless, somebody publishes the financial statements, it's not worth analyzing I think!
  
  Actually, the same goes with reviews and other articles too... Different opinions! But atleast there, it is SUBJECTIVE, and one can feel a general trend, rather than takin each review in itself too serious!

  * In other countries, politics is exclusive from movies (in most cases)! But in India, especially in TN, it's not the case... When a politician sees this kinda mass-support for an actor, he's sure to be engraged, cos he might prolly desire for that too!
  
  * Another reason is to get publicity! Have you ever thought of a person named PONNMUDI if not for this movie?

  Politicians should think of Rajini movie as World Cup Cricket/Soccer...its a festival for tamil people all over the world...Rajini just keeps on getting bigger and bigger and now he has completely shocked the whole India especially the stupid Bollywood industry...politicians should do what they were hired to do instead of commenting about movies...its childish

  I agree! But I also think he's SCARED! Cos if he says NO today, and if circumstances make him reconsider, everybody will go after him for not keeping his word, bla bla bla! The same would apply with fans if he says YES today, and backs off later... So the best thing to escape is to Decline to answer or say 'No Comments'! One cannot predict where life will take us....

  I think he should stop giving masala movies from now! He should focus on scripts where he can play his age, but characters that are the movies' focus! Like a Detective, Lawyer, Don, etc... No songs, no duets, no heroines, no comedies! Just normal movies, where he can show his strengths in performance! After all, he's old now, and he can start exposing himself again! Ppl will not complain anymore, if he tries playing his age, cos I'm sure everybody can see he's old!

  OK, The most simple and the best example! Du think Rajini cant act in some of the recent Gowtham Menon flicks like VV or PM? Cut down the duet songs, or maybe say the old character falls in love with a young gal or something! Atleast it will be more realistic! And Rajini can show his histrionics like crazy as a cop, bad-guy or a normal person!
  
  But I just want him to avoid playing a young guy with allll these efforts! It's not necessary at all... If he does the same things in an old character, it'll be more pleasing, cos then the audience will know, oh the old character is sooo agile, rather than saying, man this young character cant even run!

  Why du guys seperate movies as MASS or CLASS! Why cant they be inclusive?
  
  Whether it's an entertainer or totally artistic, I think a movie should be liked by all... So some of the elements that will make a movie likeable (not all elements are mandatory)...
  
  * Strong storyline!
  
  * Entertaining/thrilling screenplay, based on the plot!
  
  * Good comedy!
  
  * Some sentiments here and there!
  
  * Nice romance!
  
  * Good acting performances!
  
  * Good songs and BGM!
  
  * Good Direction, to make it a combination of one or more or all elements!
  
  etc etc....
  
  Not all so-called Mass movies are entertaining, nor all so-called Class movies are artistic always! We have seen sooo many movies in the past that were intended to be masalas, but have flopped terribly, at the same time, some totally off-beat movies that have clicked big-time at the BO!
  
  So my conclusion will be, whether it's MASS or CLASS, it has to be a GOOD movie that's likeable! There has to be SOMETHING in the movie that makes sense!

  Fatigue Of 2007: Still Searching For The Elusive Hit
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Enkayaar, Bollywood Trade News Network
  
  It indeed seems to be emerging as the nemesis if one were to contrast this situation with what has happened with the Rajinikant starrer SHIVAJI. This film has also been released with around 500 prints all over the country, but without any advertisement or reviews. It is the Fans Club of the Rajinikant which is marketing the product, and as a result of this the film has been sold off totally for next three weeks.

  You mean to say, something ABNORMAL should be there?
  
  I think a class movie can be shown to any audience, without any regional/national commercialization! What say you? Songs can be accepted! But things like Vivek/Vadivelu comedy, or what happens in our society, and all that cant be enjoyed by any cine-goer!

  Fantastic Four top box office in debut week
  LONDON (Reuters) - "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" topped the box office in its debut weekend, knocking casino caper "Ocean's Thirteen" from pole position, according to Screen International on Tuesday.
  
  The Fantastic Four sequel, in which the superheroes have to save the planet by foiling the mysterious Silver Surfer, took 4.1 million pounds.
  
  That was a million more than "Ocean's" managed in its first week but only about a third of the last blockbuster to hit the UK, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," -- which started in some 75 more cinemas than the other two.
  
  "Pirates" was down one place at three, just below George Clooney and Brad Pitt taking revenge on Al Pacino in the latest Ocean's sequel.
  
  New at four was motel-based horror movie "Vacancy," with Kate Beckinsale, while down two at five was rapper Ice Cube in suburban comedy "Are We Done Yet?", a sequel to his 2005 movie "Are We There Yet?"
  
  New at six was Bollywood romantic comedy "Jhoom Barabar Jhoom" while down three places at seven was another rom-com "Wedding Daze."
  
  Coming in at eight was "Tell No One," a French thriller in which a man who lost his wife eight years ago in a murder receives an email showing her being filmed in real time.
  
  Tamil film "Sivaji" was new at nine while down five places at 10 was "Spider-Man 3" which has taken 33.3 million pounds in its seven weeks in the UK Top 10.

  Last Updated: 23:56 IST(17/6/2007)
  
  The fact that Sivaji Rao Gaekwad a.k.a. Rajinikanth has a wide and ‘deep’ fan following rivalling — or as some would have it, topping — that of Bollywood stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan is indicative of how big he is as a cultural phenomenon. If Bachchan and Khan can muster up a fan following not only among Indians and the NRI communities across the world but also among non-Indians in West Asian countries and beyond, Rajnikanth has his fair share of fanatics in countries like Japan, Malaysia and in the Gulf.

There is nothing wrong if tamil makkal quee up to buy his movie ticket...instead of watching spiderman its better for them to watch rajnikanth movie and get motivated. For some Rajinikanth is only for entertainment, for others he is inspirational. ...For me he is a Brand.

  this link says that JBJ has no stuff and failed in BO. Leaviing rajini's few styles, Sivaajiyil mattum enna vaazhuthaam
  
  this link says JBJ flopped all over country but never said that sivaaji beats JBJ. and FYI, in the newYork times link posed yesterday, on the UK BO, JBJ is running at 47 screens while shivaaji is just 12. and collection wise too Sivaaji is 100,000 pounds less than JBJ

  Fun film !
  
  Watched it second night, stall seats in one of the second rung theatres in Madurai. That should give an idea of the atmosphere.
  
  Rajini looks helluva lot better than he did in Chandramukhi. In particular in the Ballenaka song. It is going to be a Sun music regular - where I hope to hear it because I could hear next to nothing in theatre.
  
  
  The chief takeaway is Rajini taking himself so lightly
  
  > Vivek jabbing at the punch dialogue culture
  > the SivAji,MGR,Kamal sequences before Athiradi - nice to see a star like Rajini pull it off
  > the skin colour sequences - Vivek's 'thamizh naadE eriyum' comment had the crowd bursting in laughter. Extremely clever - an uber sensitive comment - may have drawn a negative reaction except for Vivek pre-empting the response ( I smell Sujatha here)
  > naan SivAji illai MGR this is my favourite - you can't get more kindAl than this
  > Boss....mottai boss beating detractors to it !
  
  Cherry on the cake being Rajini - imagine ! - using VadivElu's lines.
  
  Perhaps it rubbed of on Shankar too
  > Remo
  > Mudhalvan Arjun
  
  
  Everyone and his cousin have the read Rajini bullet-trick email forward. It was enjoyable to see Rajini not just taking it in his stride but incorporating the tricks in the Athiradi songs. By making it a fantasy Rajini-Shankar go no-holds barred.
  
  Haven't heard Rahman in such fine form in Tamil in a looong time. Athiradi had the best impact and Rajini's entry in the song brought the theatre down (note- the song is late in the second half). Sahana was pleasant but a drag on the screenplay. And , beyond doubt, everything looked grand. While Sahana looked garish, vaaji-vaaji looked beautiful.
  
  Talking about beautiful, ShreyA
  
  The comedy was much better than Chandramukhi. It had the usual Vivek mokkais, but overall it had more laughs than duds. The special effects in the Athitradi song with gun wielders falling off windows and the terrible car-fight were disappointing. Shankar fails again in the effects department.
  
  The film did have its corny parts. I can't digest those things they wear one themselves and their heads in the 'oru koodai sunlight' song. And the fight in the music shop seemed to lack the punch. But the fight in the abandones godown - what a new location, I say - more than made up for it.
  
  For all its sociopolitical theme, Rajini hasn't taken many potshots except the swipe against a politician from Dharmapuri - a PMK area.
  
  Yes, there are huge gaping logical holes. Let me mention just one: Adi is big enough to topple a government but is weak-kneed against SivAji's 'income tax' trump card !
  
  But they key to the film is to not bother with such questions about logic or other questions like jumpy screenplay and naive sequences/dialogues. Just sit back and let Rajini make your stay at the cinema, comfortable. And he surely will.
  
  Definitely watchable atleast once. Earlier the better because watching with a feverish atmosphere helps. But there is no rush, it will be in the theatres for a long while.

I didn't advance book, just went there in the last minute. We had planned either this or KalaivANi in Tirunagar. As both these theatres were in the outer parts of the city we (3 of us) thought we may be able to get in without reservation. But still, second day night was a big ask. But we did manage to get tickets. The balcony was sold out and we got stall seats (Rs.100) in the counter about 40 mins before show and the theatre was full. It was an assorted crowd. Police evicted a couple of people who were drunk and dancing even during the titles !!! The noise was deafening during the Ballenaka song. But as the movie proceeded the noise died down except for the laughs and applause- they kept coming till the very end.

  Ok, let us try one more time.
  
  To Rajini fans: Accept criticisms of the film. No one needs to make
  apologies for thier views. Don't think that only your view is the
  valid view.
  If you are unable to accept, ignore.
  
  To the others: Try to understand the jubiliation and avoid throwing
  wet blankets into Rajini fans enthusiasm. As long as it does not
  hurt you, live and let live.
  
  All: DO NOT under any circumstances bring other actors into this
  thread. All it takes is one provocative post to light the fire.

  Rajnikanth & his fans as a case study?
  
  IndiaFM | Wednesday, 20 June , 2007, 12:38
  
  Film stars all over the world would envy Rajnikanth. Not only does he have legions of fans who would kill or die for him, they also convert their devotion into ticket sales. What's the point of having fans who worship a star, but don't particularly care about catching his/her film on the first day, paying a premium for tickets?
  The way Rajnikanth's Sivaji (and many of his films before it) was received with unabashed frenzy-- bathing posters with milk, bursting crackers, prayers, and so on, was surprising and amusing to people outside the Tamil circles. This, crazy star worship, of course seems to be a regional phenomenon. In Chennai, when star-politician MG Ramachandran died, reports said that 30 people committed suicide and many more shaved their heads as a mark of grief. When NT Rama Rao passed away in Andhra, there were similarly hysterical outbursts of mourning, and more recently when Kannada superstar Rajkumar passed away, there were riots in Bangalore by fans who wanted the city to shut down in sorrow.
  
  
  Fans in the South build temples to stars, worship them like gods, form fan clubs, and would lay down their lives at a word from a star. No politician in the South would want to rub Rajnikanth the wrong way, because if he tells people not to vote for a leader, they will obey without question. It is astonishing that with such power, Rajnikanth has remained down to earth, and has shown no signs of misusing his sway over the masses. He doesn't even need to fill his coffers with undignified endorsements, he earns ten times more than many Bollywood stars and gives away a lot to charity. Off screen, he is often seen in simple clothes, rubber chappals, balding and greying head proudly on display. And his fans love him for his unpretentiousness, because on screen, he lives up to their expectations.
  
  Bollywood may strut its stuff all over the globe, Amitabh Bachchan may have been voted star of the millennium by NRI fans, but that is no guarantee of the success of his films. He, Shah Rukh Khan and other stars may be able to sell products but they can't sell tickets. Aishwarya Rai may be called the most powerful Bollywood star by Time magazine, but she cannot get people to go and see her well-hyped films. Does anyone remember an instance of any release by a Bollywood star that was accompanied by such passion as the opening of Sivaji?
  
  In the West too, stars have crazy fans who stalk them (John Lennon was killed by an obsessive fan), follow their lives in tabloids, copy their style and try to get their plastic surgeon to make them look like their Hollywood idols, but whoever heard of a church to worship Brad Pitt!
  
  
  
  Believe it or not, there is apparently something called Celebrity Worship Syndrome, and the New Scientist magazine reported in 2003 that one-third of Americans were suffering from it. James Houran, clinical psychologist and joint creator of the Celebrity Worship Scale, is reported to have said that low levels of celebrity worship are "a form of social bonding, stress reduction, escapism and entertainment. At low levels, people tend to be happier, more personable and more outgoing." While at higher levels, celebrity worship has been linked with "depression, anxiety, body-image problems and addiction."
  
  According to a piece by Erica Harrison in Cosmos magazine last year, "Social psychologists agree that the reasons are complex, but some issues seem to recur. One is that we're bored, and living through movie stars is a way of alleviating that boredom. Another is that we're searching for identity, the evidence for which is that teenagers (those lost souls of adolescence) usually score highest on the scale. Social fragmentation might also play a part: as family and community values are crushed by the cult of individualism and an omnipresent media, perhaps fantasy relationships are becoming easier to form than real ones… Perhaps fame is the new religion, and celebrities our gods."
  
  Rajnikanth and his fans could be the subject of a very interesting academic study. We may think he is just another star, but his fans are on another astral plane altogether.

  Sivaji World Wide collections
  
  By Behindwoods News Bureau.
  
  June 20, 2007
  
  
  
  Once again Super Star has proved that he is the Badshah of Box Office as his latest release Sivaji continues to reverberate in collections all over the globe. The world seems to be hypnotized by his magical spell and no one is complaining.
  
  According to an unofficial source, United States recorded a hundred percent opening in all the screens during the weekend and the collections have been an all time high for any Tamil film.
  
  
  
  The Telugu version of the film has also been receiving an impressive response. As per Prityush Jain, trade analyst of US Box Office, the high pricing of the tickets ($20-25) did not deter people from thronging the theatres and the colossal response of this kind is something that is unheard for any Indian film in American soil.
  
  In the United Kingdom, the collections stand at US $320,497. (Converted to dollars) and Sivaji is sitting pretty at the 9th position in the list of top ten movies. Meanwhile the weekend per screen average stands at an impressive US $ 27899.19 which is much higher than some of the Hollywood films in the chart and also Bollywood's Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.
  
  In the Middle East area, Rajni World Welfare Trust, a non-profit organization had arranged for a free screening of Sivaji for thousand laborers and house maids in Dubai. The screens in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah report that they are fully booked for the next two weeks. The same trend continues in Bahrain too.
  
  In our very own Chennai, Sivaji has fetched a whopping Rs 1,38,43,860 (1.4 crore approximately) as on Tuesday. Needless to say, super star is shining luminously…

  Sivaji World Wide collections
  
  By Behindwoods News Bureau.
  
  June 20, 2007
  
  
  
  Once again Super Star has proved that he is the Badshah of Box Office as his latest release Sivaji continues to reverberate in collections all over the globe. The world seems to be hypnotized by his magical spell and no one is complaining.
  
  According to an unofficial source, United States recorded a hundred percent opening in all the screens during the weekend and the collections have been an all time high for any Tamil film.
  
  
  
  The Telugu version of the film has also been receiving an impressive response. As per Prityush Jain, trade analyst of US Box Office, the high pricing of the tickets ($20-25) did not deter people from thronging the theatres and the colossal response of this kind is something that is unheard for any Indian film in American soil.
  
  In the United Kingdom, the collections stand at US $320,497. (Converted to dollars) and Sivaji is sitting pretty at the 9th position in the list of top ten movies. Meanwhile the weekend per screen average stands at an impressive US $ 27899.19 which is much higher than some of the Hollywood films in the chart and also Bollywood's Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.
  
  In the Middle East area, Rajni World Welfare Trust, a non-profit organization had arranged for a free screening of Sivaji for thousand laborers and house maids in Dubai. The screens in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah report that they are fully booked for the next two weeks. The same trend continues in Bahrain too.
  
  In our very own Chennai, Sivaji has fetched a whopping Rs 1,38,43,860 (1.4 crore approximately) as on Tuesday. Needless to say, super star is shining luminously…

  What is common among the Tamilians?
  
  1. He/She cannot imagine of having anything other than Idly-Sambar or Dosai-Chutney for breakfast.
  2. The topics they commonly debate on are either politics or cinema.
  3. One in every four guys is a Saravanan or a Srinivasan or a Karthik.
  4. One in every four girls is a Priya or a Lakshmi or a Gayathri.
  5. Every Tamilian is either a fan of Rajinikanth or of Kamal Haasan.
  Todelly agreed.
  
  "Madrasi" – Well, that's how the whole nation identifies anyone who hails from the southern state of Tamilnadu. The last one in the above list takes a lot of importance now as the Sizzling Shivaji Season has just begun. The whole nation is watching Tamil Nadu today. Coverage of the Shivaji special news for at least 20 minutes everyday on all national channels and that too in the primetime looks very unusual. Yeah, today Kollywood and Kollywood fans feel ecstatic for having groomed a ONE MAN ARMY who can single-handedly challenge any given box office record across the nation. The media terms it the Rajini Mania and it has just begun after a break of over two years.
  
  His parents named him "SHIVAJI RAO GAEKWAD ".
  K. Bala chander, his cine world guru named him "RAJINI KANTH".
  His colleagues fondly call him the "SUPER STAR".
  We proud fan(atic)s hail him as our Unvanquishable "THALAIVAR ".
  
  He cannot do a full length Sentimental movie – Not agreeable – Go watch Aarilirundhu Arubadhu Varai.
  He cannot do a full length comedy movie – Not agreeable – Go watch Thillu Mullu.
  He cannot do a full length historic movie – Not agreeable – Go watch Sri Raghavendra.
  He cannot do an anti-hero role – Not agreeable – Go watch Bhairavi.
  No movie can be a hit for just that it has Rajinikanth – Not agreeable – Go Watch Yaar and it's a hit also because it had RajiniKanth for one scene in it.
  Can he do a villain's role – Oh FYI, He began his career as a villain – Go watch Padhinaaru Vayathiniley.
  Can he rock the crowd with an action packed movie – Oh u hafta really watch Murattukkaalai, Annamalai, Baasha and Padayappa.
  Well, the list goes on and on
  
  20 times 7 crores makes 140 crores.
  This simple math was the expectation set on Super Star's movie, Baba. "If all the seven crore Rajini fans in south India watch Baba once, on a minimum 20 rupees ticket, the movie will make 140 crores". A prediction that failed as it didn't live up to the expectations of Thalaivar's fans. Well this movie by Rajini's standards, is a flop, but still it made close to 19 crores. There was absolutely no predictions for Chandramukhi and it went on to become the Most successful movie in the history of Indian Cinema and thats when our Thalaivar's magic stormed the box office again after a brief break. Those who complained that it's Rajini's act of smoking cigarette with a style is what pulls the youth to the theatres, went with their mouth shut after watching Chandramukhi, which didn't sport much of Rajini's traditional styles. Interestingly, he was only the second hero in Chandramukhi, but it didn't look so when we watched it on the giant screen.
  
  Shivaji is the most expensive Indian movie till date with a total investment of about 800 million Indian rupees (80 crores). The movie was sold out on the day it was announced by the producers and so AVM productions didn't face much burden in garnering crores of money for the making of Shivaji. Bookings for the first three weeks were over within hours after the counters opened. The queues to book tickets in advance was longer than longest human chains formed in the city for Awareness campaigns and protests.
  
  Many people keep asking Super Star fans like me, "Why are you a crazy fan of a cine star named Rajini Kanth. Isn't that like making a fool of yourself?" All we managed to do in such situations was to smile at them and say to ourselves, "Poor you…!! A day will come and you'll come to know the answer for this question on your own". The day has come and it is dated 15th June 2007.
  For those who think they are brilliant and ever asked any Rajini fan like this, now do ask yourself if you can challenge the brilliance and hardworking nature of the Japanese?
  Oh! You cannot.
  For your kind information, Rajini Kanth has the biggest fan-following in Japan than any other Indian Cine star. If you are even ready to term the Japanese as fools, we Super Star fans can only say that the you have to either get treated for your mental illness soon or have to be in Tamil Nadu when the Rajini Mania reigns.
  
  If anyone wonders what is so special about Rajini Kanth to have the biggest fan-following than any other star in the country, we fanatics can only say that it's his sheer magic and we all fell for it. Only four Super star's movies have released in the last 10 years. My little 7 year old cousin who lives in Muscat flew down last week to Chennai for vacation and I questioned him, which hero's movie he likes to watch the most. Taking no time he replied, "Rajini". When I asked him why? He said, "I really don't know, but I liked Chandramukhi and Rajini "Lakalaka" in Ra Ra song". In spite of so many young, well built, handsome heroes in the industry, Rajini can alone create such huge impact in the minds of the young ones and stay there forever.
  
  Catch Them Young or CTY is a successful initiative of the Globally Most Respected Indian Company which looks out for the talented young techies and trains them more in its own campus. One can say that, for an organization, it is not that tough to carry out such initiatives successfully.
  But how about an individual doing that consistently for three decades?
  Yeah, Rajini catches his fans when they are young, and ensures that he treats them well with every movie he presents to them. Shivaji is one such huge treat for us from our Thalaivar.
  
  We educated fans know that it is impossible to get sparks from the shoes when a hero walks, We know its impossible to throw away four people with just a single punch, We know that its impossible to make an opponent fly in air when one waves his hand, We know that its highly impossible to get the shoe unlaced-hit the villain's face-come back to hero's feet again- and lace itself. Well, stardom is appreciated by the rural masses if a hero does all this on the screen and there is no super hero in any film industry to have not done such impossible acts on the screen. None!
  
  Some demand respect but only a few command it. Air Force One, the US President's official aircraft commands the American air space when it takes off the ground. The air space is cleared through out for Air Force One when it has the American President on board. Such is the esteem of a Super star's movie when its release date is announced. Interestingly, 40 tamil movies have postponed their release by over three months not just because they can't compete with Rajini's movie but also in a way to honor the Evergreen King of Kollywood. Thats how our superstar is respected by everyone in the film industry.
  
  The walk, The talk, The speed, The spectacular sunglass flip, The cigarette toss, The trademark punch lines, The enigma that creeps in during his introduction and many more are what makes him the simply special for us. His styles are inimitable. A Mangala Aarathi in the banks of river Ganga in Haridwar is so good beautiful to watch. The next best mangala aarathi for a Rajini fan is the lighting of Camphor as soon as the demigod appears on the screen in the theatre. This godly moment just thrills anybody in the theatre. Cracker bursts, Coconut breaks, Milk Abhishegams, a pleasant war among the fan clubs as to who erects the biggest cut-out of Thalaivar. Well, these are how we royally welcome our Thalaivar on the day of screening his movie screening.
  
  All today's successful stars have definitely struggled for identity in society in the past. When they achieve it, the next thing they did was to sell their fame in the Advertisement market. Had Rajini ever sold his familiarity in the Ad market, tamilnadu would have easily been a place with almost all the products, from Amrutanjan balm to Aeroplanes with Rajinikanth as its brand ambassador. He was never for all that and he never used his stardom to sell products in the market. If I'm not wrong, the only advertisement that featured Rajinikanth is the 'Polio Eradication and awareness campaign' that the government launched in the late 80's and he featured in it as it was for a noble cause. He never went hunting for money. The tag " India 's Most Paid Actor" is something that came to him and he never went looking for it, a fact that nobody will ever doubt.
  
  A spiritually sound personality, with a down-to-earth attitude and a man of extreme simplicity, whose attire in public (a white khadi shirt and a cotton dhoti) may not be a fitting one to walk the red carpet at Cannes, but he will forever rule the hearts of all the rich and poor, young and old, for the kind of entertainment that he has offered us in all these 30 years.
  
  Watching Thaliavar on the mega screen on the first day of screening = Celebrating 100 Diwalis together + Enjoying 10 Summer vacations at grandparent' s place + A proposal accepted by the girl/guy u love the most + Getting paid for not working at all + A Sunday morning bed coffee + A lone walk on the sea shore + A crazy party with all your friends at your house when your parents are away. Thalaivar's movie - First day first show is like taking a crazy walk on the wild side of your life. None can offer that excitement other than our own Super Star.
  
  He cannot dance well. Agreed.
  His movies are always of rags to riches kind. Agreed.
  He pairs with an actress who is even less than half his age. Agreed.
  His movies has at least one scene for brother-sister sentiment. Agreed.
  He will speak in praise of 'Mother' at least once in the movie. Agreed.
  So, what the heck?
  He still proves to be the only unmatchable Super Star of Indian cinema, capable of making history by breaking the records set by others or by himself, one after the other.
  
  Super Star's Shivaji sees the beginning of a new era in Indian Cinema. Bollywood will no more be seen as the face of Indian Cinema. Super star's Shivaji will prove this. Our Universal Hero's Dasavatharam will ensure this soon.
  
  I'm seen as acting unjust to all Thalaivar's fans if I end this write up without a punch line that speaks in praise of the Superstar.
  "If god be with us, who can be against us" – this is a famous saying in the spiritual community.
  "Well, If Thalaivar be with us, who can even dare to challenge us" – a quote that will fit only for our Super Star in the world of cinema.
  
  Rajini always steals the show,
  Don't again ask me how?
  Try to watch shivaji in theatres if possible, the First day First show.
  Watching him, u will definitely salute and bow.
  
  Bravo Our Super Star.
  Rajini Kanth is the true BOSS of the Indian Cine World and he is all set to violently boss around.
  His Larger Than Life Image will never fade.
  This write up is a royal salute to my Super Hero.
  
  Thalaivar vaazhga!!! A Fan

  'Shivaji' has hit the theatres around the world and, after the initial negative feedback, the film has started to perform well at the box office. Industry observers are convinced that it will comfortably recover its costs.
  
  
  
  But there are some interesting side effects to this story.
  
  
  For a very long time, everybody was eagerly waiting for Rajinikanth to get into politics. This was something that the actor had always been avoiding. After the release of each and every film of his, the call usually begins. But, things were different for a while. His 'Baba' collapsed at the box office. His 'Chandramukhi' had a story that had nothing at all to do with politics.
  
  
  'Shivaji' is different. There are larger-than-life dialogues. There are politicians, there is corruption and there is Rajinikanth, who sets everything right. Impressed by the reception that the audience gave to the film, politicians have now started to invite him back to politics.
  
  
  The problem is- Rajinikanth is friendly with both the main political parties in Tamilnadu. He also is notorious for his delay tactics when it comes to making his mind up about such crucial issues.

  I watched in Vetri (formerly known as Madhu) in VillApuram (on the way to AvaNiApuram). I didn't advance book, just went there in the last minute. We had planned either this or KalaivANi in Tirunagar. As both these theatres were in the outer parts of the city

  
  20 years back only Villupuram was outpart of the city. now it is part of the city.

  அப்படினா ரஜினி ஃபேன்ஸ் உடைய பகுத்தறிவை எதுக்கு கேள்வி கேக்கனும்?
  
  படத்தை பற்றி பேச வேண்டியதுதானே சினெஃபேன்???

  எம்.ஜி.ஆர், சிவாஜி கலவை ரஜினி-பாலச்சந்தர்
  
  
  தமிழ் சினிமாவில், எம்.ஜி.ஆர், சிவாஜி இரண்டுமே ரஜினிதான் என்று இயக்குநர் சிகரம் கே.பாலச்சந்தர் கூறியுள்ளார்.
  
  
  
  
  
  நகைச்சுவைத் திலகம் நாகேஷுக்கு சென்னையில் பாராட்டு விழா நடந்தது. இதில், கே.பாலச்சந்தர், கமல்ஹாசன் உள்ளிட்டோர் கலந்து கொண்டனர்.
  
  பாராட்டு விழா என்னவோ நாகேஷுக்குத்தான். ஆனால் நிகழ்ச்சியில் பேசிய அததனை பேரின் கவனமும் 'சிவாஜி'யை சுற்றியே வட்டமிட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்தது.
  
  நிகழ்ச்சியின் ஹைலைட் கே.பாலச்சந்தரின் பேச்சுதான். நாகேஷுக்கு பாரத ரத்னா விருது கொடுத்து கெளரவிக்க வேண்டும் என்று அழுத்தம் திருத்தமாக வலியுறுத்திய கே.பி, பின்னர் டாபிக் மாறினார்.
  
  "இன்றைக்கு உலகம் முழுவதும் பேசப்படுகிற மிகப் பெரிய நடிகராக திகழ்கிறார் ரஜினிகாந்த். சிலர் அவரை தமிழ் நாட்டின் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் என்று குறுகிய வட்டத்துக்குள் அடைக்கப் பார்க்கிறார்கள்.
  
  அது வேண்டாம். நமது ரஜினி, சர்வதேச சூப்பர் ஸ்டாராக விஸ்வரூபம் எடுத்துள்ளார். நான்தான் ரஜினியை அறிமுகப்படுத்தினேன் என்று சொல்லிக் கொள்வதில் எனக்கு எப்போதும் இல்லாத பெருமிதம், இன்றைக்கு ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது.
  
  சிவாஜி படத்தை நானும் பார்த்தேன். அந்தப் படத்துக்குப் பாராட்டி எதைச் சொல்வது, எதை விடுவது என்றே எனக்குத் தெரியவில்லை. ஒவ்வொரு காட்சியிலும் ரஜினியைப் பார்த்து புல்லரித்துப் போனேன்.
  
  படத்தில் ஒரு காட்சியில் எம்.ஜி.ஆரும் நான்தான், சிவாஜியும் நான்தான் என்று ரஜினி வசனம் பேசுவார். என்னை பொருத்தவரை அதுதான் உண்மையும் கூட. இப்போது மட்டுமல்ல, எப்போதுமே இனி ரஜினிதான், எம்.ஜி.ஆர்., சிவாஜி. இந்த இரு மாபெரும் மேதைகளில் சரியான கலவை தான் நமது சூப்பர் ஸ்டார்" என்றார் கே.பி.
  
  ரஜினியின் அடுத்த படம் கே.பியின் கவிதாலயா நிறுவனத்துக்குத்தான் என்று ஒரு பேச்சு இப்போதே கோடம்பாக்கத்தில் ரெக்கை கட்டிப் பறந்து வருகிறது. இந்த நிலையில், கே.பியின் இந்தப் பாராட்டு விசேஷ அர்த்தம் பெறுகிறது.

  thamiz, the danger of running too fast out of pages is getting evident here...one kamal fan (karan_notout)posted an info abt the balachandar news item, he has been to the function and witnessed it from start to end and he said that balachandar NOWHERE mentioned rajini's name at all. its only someone who mentioned rajini's name and he too didnt seem to have said anything on the context as said in thatstamil. and this news is not seen in any other sites.....
  
  whatever anoops postd - the long post about comons in tamilinas that too is a repeattu
  
  thread runs so fast that both the repeatations happened TODAY only ! just travel back to see what he posted, and if possible delete ur postings, to save space (maybe the link can remain)

  Rajini is real EMPEROR : Amitabh says
  
  Reacting to the Southern actor's remark about them being King and Emperor respectively, the Big B said, "Rajni is phenomenal. The largest, the best and truly the boss. It is ridiculous to compare me to him. His following outside of Tamil Nadu is incomparable. We are friends and colleagues . His modesty is legendary. His simplicity in his existence and in his demeanour is also legendary. Don't believe a word of this King and Emperor thing. We all know that he is the Emperor. I abhor epithets, but for him I will make an exception, for he is truly exceptional." Bachchan was also full of pure admiration for what Rajnikant has achieved. "Look where he came from and what he has become. Sheer hard work, talent and the belief that he could do it and he did! Such a fantastic example for any youth in any part of the world. Despite his extraordinary career he has remained the simple down-to-earth person that he was when he started off. All his people around him are friends who were with him when he was a nobody," said Bachchan.
  
  He further revealed details from his Tamil superstar friend's life. "Do you know, a Fiat he had bought when he attained his early success still remains with him and he only uses that car to date? He's a humble human being and a caring and considerate co-star. Rajni is terrific company on the sets and a fine gentleman. He's religious, traditional and charitable. And most importantly, he and his equally modest wife have brought up their two daughters well. His daughters are a reflection of him. For me, the way your offspring have turned out are the truest reflection of your achievements."

  PR review link pls.
  
  Ok.As always,i was also a rajni fan when i enjoyed my childhood.naturally,i wanted to watch him in his latest avatar again.i watched it and surprisingly found my second view much pleasant.yeah,i loved it better than my first day first show.the excitement of the crowd in which i was also a part of it never ceased.the same glorification continued.as thalaivar chose the singapaadhai,i enjoyed the movie like anything.however i had to shoo off the interruptions of logic in the process.damn that fellow shankar....he should never again be interviewed again.a true rajni experience throughout the second half,especially in athiradee.i understood why 85% of the voters chose rajni the eternal superstar.boss,nijamaave adhiruthu! shreya:oh!i never dreamt of her being so pretty so graceful cos mazhai drove me awry.vivek also did a decent job.my only owe was a request to shankar in making the characterisation of thalaivar far better by cutting the crappy pazhaga varuthal and the realted first half.peter hein should have definitely replaced by kanal kannan itself,unacceptably idiotic stunts:those theatre ones.the dialogue.hmmmm okay.camera work was also at its zenith.songs were the main highlight of the film.i'm gonna watch it for the third time this saturday.

  This is one story I would love to tell my grandchildren...

  T S Sudhir
  Resident Editor
  Tuesday, June,19 2007 (Hyderabad)
  
  Rajini is on record saying 'Sivaji' is 0 times more entertaining than his favourite Rajini film 'Baasha'. I second him. It is a very entertaining film. Actor Suman, who plays the villain Adi in the film told me, ''you see Shankar in every frame of the movie''. So calling 'Sivaji', a Rajini film made with the Shankar touch' would probably be the best way to describe, what was easily the most-awaited movie in recent times.

  Rajnikant and his fans could be the subject of a very interesting academic study. His fans are on another astral plane altogether
  
  By Deepa Gahlot, June 19, 2007 - 10:24 IST
  
  Bollywood may strut its stuff all over the globe, Amitabh Bachchan may have been voted star of the millennium by NRI fans, but that is no guarantee of the success of his films. He, Shah Rukh Khan and other stars may be able to sell products but they can't sell tickets. Aishwarya Rai may be called the most powerful Bollywood star by Time magazine, but she cannot get people to go and see her well-hyped films. Does anyone remember an instance of any release by a Bollywood star that was accompanied by such passion as the opening of Sivaji?

  Joe, my parents recommended some potential bride last week! I asked her, if she'd watch the movie with me... She said, "Oh you know, I think Rajini is tooo old to act as hero, bla bla bla"! I called my parents and said, "REJECTED" in Gounder's style!

Colombo theatres-la irunthu thookkunathukku piRaguthAn it gets screened in other cities. But most expected movies, specially of Kamal and Rajini are sometimes shown in major cities like Kandy and Jaffna (yaazhpaanam). But in Jaffna it depends on the security situation. As for Sivaji, if I remember right it is shown in 2 or 3 theatres in Colombo and may be in Kandy too. I have to check on that. Only after getting back to Colombo I would be able to see it, that too would take another 2 or 3 weeks as some of my friends will not be available in Colombo until such time. pOrathA irunthA ellOrum onnAthAn pOvOm. appadi illEnnA VCD/DVD thaan.

  The hardsell of Sivaji, the Boss
  R. Ravikumar
  Sravanthi Challapalli
  Vinay Kamath
  More movie prints in demand, publicity blitzkrieg to continue
  
  Chennai June 19 The mobile phone of Mr S.C. Babu, Chief Executive Officer, AVM Studios, the producer of the blockbuster-effort Sivaji, the Boss, rings incessantly during a conversation on the movie.
  
  A Mumbai distributor wants 17 more prints of the movie for that market, some of them to replace a recent Hindi movie release which isn't faring well at the box office.
  
  The distributor is coming down shortly to Chennai, says Mr Babu, to give in the first `minimum guarantee' cheque (beyond which profits are shared) to AVM and collect the fresh prints.
  
  With 800 prints and over 900 screens and more to come, Tamil moviedom's superstar Rajnikanth's ninth movie with AVM, Sivaji, the Boss, may well have changed the way films are being marketed in the country.
  
  `Most expensive'
  
  Though Mr Babu could not be persuaded to reveal the amount, it's given to understand that close to Rs 80 crore has gone into it - making it the most expensive Indian movie ever. Shah Rukh Khan starrer Devdas was made for Rs 52 crore.
  
  The saturation coverage with an unprecedented number of prints and screens will also serve to hedge risks of piracy, Mr Babu explained.
  
  Indian Overseas Bank, AVM's bankers for decades, have part-financed this movie, which is AVM's 168th. And the studio insured the key actors for Rs 50 crore. While Sivaji runs to packed houses across the country and abroad, thanks to the production house's 360-degree marketing attempts, AVM, which has spent Rs 2.5 crore so far on marketing the movie, intends to keep up the momentum with a spend of Rs 1.5 crore over the next two to three months. Mr Babu is confident it will rake in more than Rs 250 crore in collections.
  
  A blitzkrieg of publicity through hoardings (more than two lakh sq. ft. across Tamil Nadu), bus panels (over 10,000), vinyl-poster-wrapped double-decker buses in Chennai, look-alike contests on local FM radio stations, and a steady output of pre- and post-release features by national news channels have all whipped up a frenzy of excitement.
  
  Tie up with Web sites
  
  Not just that, but AVM has tied up with Web sites such as galatta.com, rediff.com and behindwoods.com and mobile entertainment major Hungama Mobile to storm the Net and mobile space with content, sound tracks and ring tones downloads to market the movie, not to mention its own Web site, sivajitheboss.com.
  
  Mr Saleem Mobhani, COO, Hungama Mobile, says this is the first-ever Tamil film to have such a wide marketing network.
  
  downloads Galore
  
  Hungama Mobile, which has a direct connectivity with nearly 77 carriers in over 30 countries, is overwhelmed with the number of Sivaji downloads over the month.
  
  "In fact, our server crashed three times on the first two days thanks to chock-full dial-ins from all parts of the world," Mr Mobhani asserts.
  
  Mr Babu also says the sound track sales made a record opening with sales of one lakh CDs and cassettes on the first day.
  
  In fact, the sound track was released on the digital platform ahead of the CD release. The sound tracks are also available on iTunes for download.
  
  "This is the first Tamil film that iTunes promotes globally," says Mr Mobhani of Hungama Mobile.
  
  Access to funds
  
  The success of Sivaji has changed for the better the way institutional financiers are looking at the film industry in general and the Tamil film industry in particular. "We have a positive feedback from institutional lenders. Sivaji will make accessing funds easier," says Mr V. Subramonian, President (Corporate Affairs), G.V. Films Ltd, a company that is both a film producer and exhibitor.
  
  Mr Mehool Parekh of Infinity Film Completion Services Ltd, has the same views. "Sivaji has gone well with the lenders," Mr Parekh told Business Line.
  
  Infinity guarantees the completion of films, which then makes it easier for the producers to raise funding.
  
  Visual richness
  
  "You can never make the perfect movie," says AVM's CEO Mr Babu, responding to a question on reviews and intrinsic virtues, "but with Sivaji, it was the visual richness we were aiming for, and we achieved it."
  
  This may well be a movie carried along on a wave of hype and hysteria that combine superstar value, technical thrills and savvy marketing.

  WOW guys!! BAY that update of like 30 sites!!! WOW!! You are really on top of things.
  
  I just watched Sivaji: The Boss. I really dont know what to say. Should I talk about the mindblowing Rajini Style? And the Rahman factor that emphasized every move of Rajini? Or the unlimited imagination oozing out of Shankar? Out of all Shankar movies, I enjoed this the most. Indian comes a close second.
  
  He created the perfect script for Rajini to show what he is really made of! Enna style, at times i was like how is this possible? Freaking gripping movie. If you have not watched Sivaji yet, go NOW, when I say now, I mean stop reading and GO NOW! Its a must watch!! brilliant stuff. I am going again this saturday, cant live a moment without this movie. hats off to ARR, If Rajini is the style king on Video, Rahman is the style king for Audio. Hats off!
  
  
  BTW guys, I dunno if you guys would be interested in this. But i was just sitting here browsing, and all of a sudden i just heard this really faint strong bass beats. The beats in style song (if u listen to that u will know what i am talking about). I just heard this, so i thought ARR has used a loop and I am hearing some english song. But I went near my window, listened really carefully, it was STYLE from SIVAJI. It made me so happy. Rajini's reach is just amazing! ALl picturization were amazing. I mean everything. Except sahana (Dinesh I completely agree with you), this should have been shot outside somewhere. It felt constricted. Nevertheless, really nice picturization. Are you still reading my stupid post? GO NOW Coool

  [tscii]Full page review in New Straits Times today.
  
  

  New Straits Times wrote:

  Cinema: Cool Rajni heats up ‘Sivaji’ By : K.N. VIJIYAN 2007/06/20 SIVAJI THE BOSS (Tamil) directed by S. Shankar Starring Rajnikanth, Shriya, Vivek, Suman, Manivannan, Raguvaran, Vadivukarasi, Pattimandram Raja and Uma FINALLY, after all the false starts, Sivaji The Boss is here. This must be the most eagerly-awaited Tamil movie in the past two years. The excitement even ended in torn screens and seats at several theatres showing the movie on the first day. So many people wanted to see the movie on the day it opened that the distributors were hard put meeting the demand. Some early preparations could have easily eased the situation. After all, the local distributor is said to have paid a whopping RM15 million for the movie rights, making it easily the most expensive Indian movie shown locally. But there’s no question that Sivaji is going to rewrite local film history at the box office. Superstar Rajni’s earlier movie Chandramukhi also proved a gold mine for local movie distributors three years ago. People want to see Sivaji not just for Rajnikanth (remember that his Baba was a flop a few years ago) but also because of director Shankar — the man with the Midas touch. His previous eight movies were big hits because of their stories, songs and rich entertainment value. Sivaji (Rajni’s original name before he became an actor was Shivaji Rao) is a funny movie with an important social message. Rajni stars as Sivaji, a software engineer who has made a huge fortune in the United States. He returns to Madras to do good for his mother country. He wants to build a university and hospital for serve the poor. But the rich and corrupt ministers, led by a kingmaker Adiseshan (Suman), feel threatened and do all they can to lay obstacles in his path. Sivaji shows how one man can make a world of difference and how he vanquishes his enemies. Corruption is a favourite theme of Shankar’s. Sivaji once again proves how good the superstar is at comedy. With Vivek as his sidekick (he proclaims the "Boss" in the film title stands for "Bachelor of Social Service"), Rajni brings down the house with his antics. There is one scene where the villain asks the hero (who is in disguise): "Are you Sivaji? The hero replies: "No, I am MGR," presenting him his passport showing M.G. Ravichandran. That was hilarious. Watch out for the scenes where Rajni does impersonations of Sivaji Ganesan, MGR and Kamalhaasan. The scenes where the hero woos heroine Shriya and her family are a bit overdone but still funny. Scenes which show the hero and heroine in blond wigs look a bit silly but once you see the movie, you will agree they are really funny and suit the situation. What put me off were the long-drawn fights. Just because Rajni (aged 58 but still in great form) is the superstar, doesn’t mean the hero should be shown fighting 20 armed men single-handedly, however good it may be for his image. The production cost for Sivaji was said to be anything between 600 million and 840 million rupees (RM50 million and RM70 million), making it more expensive than the 50-million rupee Devdas (2002), which held the record for being the costliest indian movie ever made. Shankar has spent a fortune on the sets. The songs, composed by A.R. Rahman, have created new records in the music business. I liked how they filmed Style (that’s where Rajni appears like a white man, thanks to digital wizardry) and Thee. I caught this movie at a Mid Valley Megamall cineplex in Kuala Lumpur but the songs seemed hardly impressive there could there be something wrong with the digital format mix? As usual, Rajni gives importance to his style, flipping a one-rupee coin a special way. He keeps saying "Cool". It is easy to love this guy; he’s that good on screen. That also sums up the movie nicely — Sivaji has got style and Rajni’s cool!

  The U.S. Consul General David Hopper exprience on Sivaji
  
  My Indian colleagues at the Consulate told me that the premiere of a Rajnikanth film is a unique experience, and with the kind cooperation and hospitality of Sathyam Cinemas, they arranged for me to attend one of the opening day screenings of " Sivaji".
  It proved to be unique indeed. The energy and excitement of the action on the screen was equalled by the energy and passion of the audience, who obviously were all true fans and devotees of Rajnikanth.
  
  Neither in America nor in any of the many other countries where I have lived, have I had such a cinema experience. The excitement in the packed auditorium was palpable and the noise, deafening, but they added to the experience rather than detracting from it. I enjoyed myself thoroughly, and I felt privileged to have a very special Chennai experience

  I think he deserves to be the highest paid actor in the country. I've been a huge fan of Rajni gaaru for ages. I've loved his work. I've seen a couple of his Tamil films. I've seen a number of his Hindi films that he has done. I had the good fortune of working with him in a film called Aatank Hi Aatank. The film in itself didn't have much to write home about. But the experience of working with someone like Rajnikanth was a wonderful experience. Not only is he a very charismatic actor, extremely magical actor, extremely charming personality on screen but even in real life he is as charming. Your heart goes out to him. He is a person who is a winner of hearts. He is not trying to win your heart. He is just being himself. That's the greatness of the man. He is a very nice human being and the camera catches that. Somehow it gets translated on to celluloid. He deserves to be the superstar that he is.

  IMO atleast 40% of the movie's success should be attributed to Shankar for making Rajini look so stylish and for conceiving the Mottai Boss scenes and for the super stylish songs.... Hats off to Shankar for that!!

  * Guys that became his fans in the 80s... They'll be in their 30s and 40s now!
  
  * In the 90s.... In their 20s and 30s now!
  
  * Guys that became his fans after 2000.... In their teens and younger?
  
  * Well, this is just on an average based on which section watches more movies in their phases of life! The range is WIDE!
  
  * I'm sure some seniors who are die-hard MGR/Sivaji fans will also like Rajini!

  ‘Sivaji: The Boss’ surprised no one by becoming an instant success in Tamilnadu. What set a new record, however, was the simultaneous release of the Tamil film in theatres across the country

  Multiplexes under Sivaji grip, plan more shows
  
  PAYAL KHANDELWAL
  Posted online: Thursday, June 21, 2007 at 0051 hours IST
  
  MUMBAI, JUN 20: The frenzy over actor Rajnikanth’s latest movie ‘Sivaji- the Boss’ is only increasing by the day. Multiplexes like Cinemax are scaling up the number of shows from the second week of the movie’s release. Inox and Fun Republic, which failed to cash in on the Rajni mania in the first week by not showcasing the movie, are now set to show it from the second week. The movie’s occupancy is 95-100% in weekends and about 65% during weekdays.
  
  In Delhi NCR, PVR is showing the film in Gurgaon, Noida, central suburbs and will be increasing the number of shows from Friday.

  THE SIVAJI WAVE
  http://www.hindu.com/mp/2007/06/21/stories/2007062151270500.htm
  
  
  Rajnikant’s “Sivaji” creating history through advance ticket sales even before its release is an old story! The way it opened (June 15 to 18) across India and 28 countries worldwide was phenomenal. “Sivaji” became the first Tamil film ever to be featured in the U.K. top 10 and took a 100 per cent opening in Mumbai and Delhi multiplexes, whereas Big-B’s “Jhoom Barabar Jhoom” released the same week could manage only a 50 to 60 per cent opening! In Kerala, despite heavy rains, “Sivaji” has taken the best ever opening for any film in history from a record 86 screens! Back home in Chennai, nearly two lakh seventy thousand people saw it, in 17 screens and the film collected Rs. 1.35 crore in the first four days. On the ECR, at Mayajaal, it rocked with almost continuous shows from Friday morning to late Sunday night. Says B. Udeep, CEO, Mayajaal multiplex: “Rajni is a global star! We had 78 houseful shows from six screens in three days, 12,200 audiences saw it and we netted approximately Rs. 13.5 lakh! No other star in the world can work this magic.”

  I tell u , Thalaivar is jus like one among the family to everyone (press) and when he makes mistakes, everyone teases him and wants him to correct that! They jus cant bear his failure and vent out in frustration rather than criticism! On the other hand, when he rocks, u know wat jus happened...

  Let's make a list of Bollywood Superstars who've praised the movie and Thalaivar!
  
  * Superstar Amitabh Bachan!
  
  * Aamir Khan!

  Considering the Proportion of Tamil population in India with Hindi speakers ,Single handedly We are 'Kannula Virala vittu aattifying' hindi cinema in quality and now box office .

  Shankar elated at response for Sivaji
  IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, June 20, 2007]
  
  
  Close on the heels of the release of Sivaji, director Shankar went on a vacation to Canada with his family members. Rumors were agog that he had developed a difference of opinion with the producers AVM and hence chose to go on a trip abroad. However the AVM were quick to deny the news as rumors.
  
  Shankar had watched his Sivaji in Canada. He was elated at the movie's response in the foreign country. Also the news of the movie's phenomenal success has brought double delight for him.
  
  Shankar is set for return to Chennai on 29 June. Soon after his arrival, he will concentrate on couple of films being produced by his 'S' Pictures - Kallori by Balaji Sakthivel and Arai En 305il Kadavul. Also he will finalize his next directorial venture soon.

  SIVAJI RULES THE B.O
  
  http://sify.com/entertainment/movies/tamil/boxoffice/fullstory.php?id=14476600
  
  In Chennai, Sivaji became the first film ever to release in 17 screens, and it opened big to 100 percent capacity.
  
  According to 'Abirami' Ramanathan, who has released the film in city along with GV films: "Sivaji, has taken the best ever opening since talkies came to Chennai. 2,70,230 audience saw it during the first four days of its release in 17 screens and the film netted a whopping Rs 1.35 crore".
  
  Added B.Udeep, CEO, Mayajaal Multiplex on ECR which falls in trade circles in the Chengalpet area, but is patronized by Chennai city audience: "It is a blockbuster at Mayajaal. In its opening weekend, the film has done 78 houseful shows across six screens and collected approximately Rs 13.5 lakhs from 12200 audiences".
  
  No other film could stand up to the Sivaji tsunami that hit the CBO! Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, the week's other release was washed away along with Cheeni Kum, Chennai 60028, Dubai Seenu, Pirates of the Caribbeans and other summer hits.
  
  Sivaji rules the chart from one to five at the CBO. A rare feat which has not happened before anywhere.

  It has tempted me to join this Hub...

  I have watched da Muvie twice
  First time I watched in Melody and after watching the muvie I had the same feeling as bay as I went with lotsa expectations ...
  
  I watched it second time y'day in Bangalore Urvashi theatre .. Man I loved each and every bit of the muvie and I realised that Shankar has done a wonderful job... It was a weekday y'day and the theatre was jam packed.. The atmosphere was rocking.. Thalaivar's Power is seen everywhere...
  
  And in this thread I had seen ppl telling that Vetri theatre Chrompet observed some empty seats and bla bla bla
  
  Man who wud want to watch this muvie in Vetri theatre .. They wud want to get the best possible sound effects available in the city so they must have avoided watching the muvie there.. and I have not seen any movie running fully packed there for a long time.. and if it was might be ppl prefer that the muvie is only worth watching in vetri with local sound effects..
  
  But thalaivar's muvie bekons everyone to go to theatres like satyam and njoy the real magic.. Thalaivar rocks

Thats the power of thalaivar Thanks to CNN-IBN, NDTV, etc... It's a win-win for us and for those channels! BTW guys, du all think these channels were paid to telecast SOOOOO MANYYYY articles on Thalaiver? Or, is it marketing for their own sake to gain our attention? It is just to gain our attention and get max hits to their site and luckily for us at this season there is no hot news goin on in India like 'Gere kisses Shetty' or 'Salmankhan buys Jetty'!

  
  
  The main reason for this is...
  
  Sun TV is loosing its domination as its no more part of DMK...
  all this while as they were powerful no other news channels or other north channels were able to enter the TN market...
  
  ZEE has channels in telugu also...
  but could not make one in tamil...
  also they all know that TN is a great money spinning market...
  
  so now they are using this rajni mania as an entry pass to TN...
  by showing more news about rajni and sivaji which is the hot in town topic now...
  this way they are a bit sucessful in grabbin the attention of the tamil and south audience...
  
  Because of the rajni programs even a few kuppan and suppan have started having a glance at CNN IBN, NDTV, headlines today and other channels just for gettin some news about sivaji...
  
  so its mutual benefit for the movie and the channels...

  தெரிந்தது : சிவாஜி - தி பாஸ்
  
  தெரியாதது : எம்.ஜி.ஆர் - தி மொட்ட பாஸ்
  
  பின்னால் கைவிலங்கால் கட்டப்பட்ட கைகள் , கருப்புத்துணியால் மூடிய தலையுடன் தொடங்குகிறது படம்.
  
  கதை : எல்லா இடங்களிலும் சொல்லப்பட்ட , முன்பே பலமுறை குமுதம் விகடனில் வெளியான அதே இந்தியா திரும்பி மக்களுக்கு நல்லது செய்ய நினைக்கும் வெளிநாடு வாழ் இந்தியன் அதை தடுக்கும் சக்திகளின் கதைதான்.அதைப்பற்றிய கவலையோ பேச்சோ நமக்கு....எதற்கு அதனால் வேண்டாம்.
  
  ஆரம்பத்தில் நகைச்சுவை , கொஞ்சம் கதை பின் அதிரடி என வழக்கமான ரஜினி திரைப்படம்.
  
  நகைச்சுவையில் ரஜினி + விவேக் + சாலமன் பாப்பைய்யா + ராஜா வின் கூட்டணி கலகல.
  
  மேக்கப் தயவில் இருபது இருபத்தி ஐந்து வருடத்திற்கு முந்தைய ரஜினியை பார்க்க இயலுகிறது.நகைச்சுவையிலும் நடிப்பிலும் ரொமேன்ஸிலும் வேகத்திலும் ஸ்டைலிலும் அதே பழைய ரஜினி.
  
  இசை கருவி விற்பனை மையம் , ரஜினியின் இல்லம் , ஸ்ரேயாவின் இல்லம் என விரியும் பழகல் அதை தொடரும் தோலை வெள்ளையாக்கும் படலமும் வயிற்றை பதம் பார்க்கின்றன.
  
  முதல் பாதி வேகம் குறைவென்றாலும் குறையேதும் இல்லாமல் நகைச்சுவையும் பாடல்களும் பார்த்துக் கொள்கின்றன.
  
  இடைவேளையில் காசை சுண்டிப்போட்டு சிங்கம் விழ தலையை ஆட்டுகிறார் ரஜினி தலை கலைகிறது முடிஅலங்காரம் மாறுகிறது சிங்கத்தின் பிடறியை ஒத்து இருக்கிறது அது.அதிரடி அங்கே ஆரம்பம்.
  
  படத்தில் இதுவரை இல்லாமல் விதவிதமான தோற்றத்தில் ரஜினி என்றாலும் படத்தின் கடைசி பதினைந்து நிமிடங்களில் வரும் எம்.ஜி.ஆர் - மொட்டை பாஸ் எல்லோரையும் அநாசியமாக எடுத்து சாப்பிட்டு ஏப்பமிட்டுவிடுகிறார்.
  
  பாடல்கள் ஏற்கனவே ஹிட் என்றாலும் ரசிகர்களை இருக்கையில் கட்டிப்போட பிரமாண்டம் + அழகான + வித்தியாசமான யோசனைகள்.
  
  படத்தில் கொஞ்சம் சொதப்பல்கள் , லாஜிக் மீறல்கள் நிறையவே என்றாலும் ரஜினியின் பிம்பத்தில் அவையெல்லாம் காணாமல் போய்விடுகின்றன என்பது உண்மை.
  
  முதல் பாடலின் சில ப்ரேம்களில் வரும் சங்கர் , பிரம்மாண்டம் , தொழில்நுட்பங்களிலும் மட்டுமே எட்டிப் பார்க்கிறார் மற்றபடி ப்ரேம் பை ப்ரேம் (frame by frame) ரஜினிப்படம்...சங்கரை எங்கும் காணோம்...
  
  கதை - 5/10
  திரைக்கதை - 6/10
  பாடல்கள் - 8.5/10
  பின்னணி இசை - 8.5/10
  நகைச்சுவை - 8/10
  சண்டைக்காட்சி - 7/10
  அரங்க அமைப்பு - 9.5/10
  எடிட்டிங் - 9/10
  இயக்கம் - 7/10
  
  மொத்தம் 68.5/100 தான் என்றாலும்
  
  ரஜினிக்கு மதிப்பெண் போட்டு சேர்த்து கூட்டினால் படம் 100/100 ஆகிவிடாதா என்ன?
  
  மொத்தத்தில் என்னைப் பொறுத்தவரை சிவாஜி = 10 * பாட்ஷா....

  PR, naan Sivaji pArthavangakitta kEtta kELvi but never got a proper answer from any one. NeengathAn athukku sariyAna aaL. How was Sujatha's work as a dialogue writer? He was good in Indian and Jeans, shining here and there in Boys, remarkable in Mudhalvan but less impressive in Anniyan. How has he done in Sivaji?

  
  
  Roshan, Jeans was Balakumaran. SV Shekar's lines in the climax bear his signature.
  
  Mudhalvan is my favourite too of all the Shankar-SujAtha combination.
  
  I wouldn't call Anniyan crappy, it had some nice parts. The movie itself was naive and the dialogues didn't stand out. So there were many stupid lines, like in the famous Anniyan-meets-the-public scene.
  
  SivAji competes with Anniyan in terms of being naive. So Sujatha is pretty much the same here. But there are many places where it edges past his work in Anniyan.
  
  Usually NRI English in tamil films is a joke but when Rajni fumes "I was cornered" in the courtroom where he is cross-examines about the bribes he paid, or when he exclaims : "It's a coincidence dammit !" to Shreya when things go bad as astrologically predicted, it feels on-target.
  
  These are simple lines that that do not aim to mean things beyond context too. They mesh well with the character. many such, like Suman's first ever show of temper when he hits Rajini in the godown.
  
  
  My favourite is the punchline of the bajji scene, where Rajini proposes a 100crore deal.
  Rajini: evvaLavu pA ?
  boy: irubadhu roobA Sir ?
  rajini: Adi nee kuduthuru....andha nooru kOdiyile kazhichikkalAm
  
  Overall I'd place the dialogues (and the film) above Anniyan but below any other Shankar-Sujatha combo - including Boys, which had some very good work from SujAtha)

  Sivaji box office report from Chicago
  IndiaGlitz [Thursday, June 21, 2007]
  
  
  SIVAJI THE BOSS has attracted full house in Chicago area with all the weekend shows full and drawing good crowd during week days as well.
  
  People are leaving work early to get a glimpse of their super star during week day as well during weekend, Rajni fans took aarathi for their super star. Every one went on the roof and danced for SIVAJI songs. Paper rockets flew in the theater with tons of shredded papers that had to be cleaned over the weekend.
  
  Estimated 40% of the crowds are Malayalees, Telugu and people from North India. Few Americans where spotted as well.
  
  There was a family from Indianapolis, who saw the movie for record 4 times in a day. Due to huge request from local customers, shows are being added for next weekend as well and we expect majority of them to be sold out.

  I guess in this movie, sujatha has been very concious for any dialogue related to politics...
  maybe he would have been adviced to be so...
  
  In that scene when suman says "aatchi en kaila..."
  
  there was enough scope for a powerful trademark punch from rajni which will bring the fans stand to their feet...
  
  but he made it simple by a reply from rajni like "un kudumiyae en kaila..."
  
  even in padayappa, a similar question was asked by ramesh kanna to thalaivar...
  for which thalaivar will reply majesticaly like "poda... aandavae namma pakkam"
  
  they should have thought something powerful like this...
  and when rajni tells it out, think how the fans will react in the theatre...

  Shriya heaps laurels on Rajni, Shankar
  IndiaGlitz [Thursday, June 21, 2007]
  
  
  Shriya is thrilled at the bumper hit of Sivaji. The slim-actress is heaping laurels on Rajnikanth's charisma and Shankar's directorial skills.
  
  “People identify me more easily after Sivaji. It was a god sent opportunity to share the screen with Rajnikanth”, she says and adds, “His charisma, his humble nature and of course style has impressed me”.
  
  Shriya says, “Now I am busy with several projects. But the success of Sivaji has put tremendous pressure on us. Hopefully I want to continue the good run doing more such films”.

I don't know bangalore shows and I guess PVR is showing 8 shows daily all over India, the Sivaji Telugu version.
  
  Even in Indore (MP) sivaji will be screened

  I watched it in INOX, here in Bangalore on a weekday afternoon...it was, as expected houseful. But, one dialog that I recall getting a thunderous response (from a fairly educated audience, I believe!) was when Suman says, to Rajini-Vivek combo..."Dei...naan aadhi". Vivek starts saying something (you know what!!) when Rajini shuts his mouth and when he removes his hand, Vivek innocently says, 'Boss, Kabodhi'nnu solla vandhen'!
  
  Reminded me of the other Vivek scene in (I think) Rojakkoottam where Vivek is trying to become a lady's thathu pillai and when the lending saet, in the end says, 'idhu unnoda aathaa'...an Vivek trails off in his inimitable style, 'Podaang...'.

  Athavathu ennana sakala sir,
  
  there is a demand to screen Sivaji film all over Indian and also PVR wants to screen Sivaji because they are impressed by Sivaji collections in Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad in which Sivaji is screening. Hence PVR has decided to increase the no. of shows and to screen in other areas like Indore (MP) and Kolkatta, etc. I think first time a Kolkotta screen is going to play a tamil film.
  
  What i am trying to say here is Increasing from nearly 20 shows to 50+ shows for Sivaji is something great.

  Rajnikanth turns down honor at IIFA
  
  
  Though the IIFA awards ceremony at Yorkshire went off swimmingly, a little-known fact about the event is the reason behind non-presence of the Tamil iconic superstar Rajnikanth.
  
  
  According to sources, Rajnikanth was offered a very special award at this year's IIFA for his tremendous popularity among Tamil-speaking audiences across the world. In fact the offer to receive this prestigious award was made by none other than the IIFA ambassador.
  
  
  
  However Rajni who's always fought shy of awards and honours had to decline the offer. Says the Big B, "It's true we wanted to honor Rajnikanth at Yorkshire this year, but unfortunately he not could make it due to the release of Sivaji- The Boss. But we will someday, for he deserves many distinctions."

  SIVAJI beats CM in 4 days -Rajnikant: The New BOSS
  Tamil superstar Rajnikant’s Shivaji is lived up to the media hype. It is setting new records as per as box-office collections are concerned. The first four days collections of the Telugu version are awesome. It took unprecedented openings for a dubbed movie.
  
  2.75 Crores in 4 days
  
  In Nizam the film was released by Pyramid Samaira (it is their first film in Andhra Pradesh) in about 90 theatres. 42 theatres alone are in Hyderabad. And for the first four days it had collected Rs 2.75 Crores. “Chandramukhi’s Nizam share was Rs 2.65 Crores for 100 days. Shivaji crossed that amount in just four days. That is the phenomenal business that Shivaji doing,” Rammohan Rao, COO, Pyramid Samaira, told us.
  
  He expects it to collect Rs 3.75 – 4 Crores (Share) in Nizam for the first week. If it collects that amount, it is sure going to be a record. No Telugu film collected a share of Rs 4 Crores in Nizam so far in the first week itself.
  
  Traditionally, Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan are the kings of Nizam area. Their films collect in big way in the area. Recently Mahesh’s films (Pokiri and Sainikudu) are also doing phenonomenal business in Nizam but Shivaji is surprising everyone.
  
  From Tuesday onwards, there is a noticeable slide in collections though. “In 85 % theatres we are still getting occupancy of 80 – 90 percent. Rest of the areas it is around 70 percent,” says Rammohan Rao.

  Balelakka in Melaka Hi Guys, I'm living in a small state called Melaka in Malaysia. My Sivaji movie experience..............wow simply superb. There's 15 shows showing daily in 2 theaters (only 2 theaters over here) in Melaka and tickets are sold out for last weekend. In fact, I am working in a MNC for the past 3 years. Both people that I know and never seen before are asking me "Sir padatha pathuthingga?"...... Translation "Have you watched the movie?" Well, I said yes, 2 times already......... I should just say thanks to my friend Mr Alagappan who actually bought tickets for me for both days. The queue was mad. The 1st day was a show with friends. The 2nd day was a show with my family. My last brother mentioned that, he's going for another shows immediately upon the end of current show. Overall the movie was too good to be praised........even though no logic..........but lots of magic. Anyway...it was our Superstar at his best. Thanks to Rajini sir, Shankar sir, AR Rahman sir for making and delivering a superb movie. You have set a new level in Tamil movie industry...that's for sure. There was so much enthusiasm while watching the movie right from the beginning on both days. It was definitely worth a wait even though delayed for 2 months. There's definitely a 3rd show on my mind now.

  From Tuesday onwards, there is a noticeable slide in collections though. “In 85 % theatres we are still getting occupancy of 80 – 90 percent. Rest of the areas it is around 70 percent,” says Rammohan Rao.

  It is hilarious to find the eagerness of some of the hubbers to search out news about seats being available in theaters for Sivaji !
  
  Must be extremely concerned about the success of the movie, while AVM seems to be laughing their way to the bank !
  
  Maybe it is an urge to prove one's success by trying to portray your neighbour as a failure!

  Sivaji to delight Japanese and South African fans
  
  By Behindwoods News Bureau.
  
  June 21, 2007
  
  The arrival of Sivaji – The Boss is creating a huge impact worldwide, with never-before record breaking collection. One particular country in which the superstar enjoys immense popularity is Japan. Rajini’s Muthu was a smash hit in Japan and a few of his Japanese fans have come all the way from Japan to meet the star. One fan even went to extent of getting married in his presence in India.
  
  And his success did not stop at that. His Chandramukhi was also screened for 200 days in Japan. With such a huge fan following in that country and that’s not Indians living in Japan but Japanese themselves, Sivaji will be released this month-end. Sources say that 60 prints are to be sent to Japan, which in itself is a big fete. Another country in which Rajini carved a niche for himself is South Africa where his Chandramukhi was screened for 250 days. Sivaji will be released in South Africa sometime around the end of June for which 50 prints are in the making.
  
  The movie is slated to hit the screens in Korea, Mauritius and Russia by the first week of July.

  Re. other versions of shivaji and BO reports;
  
  My question is why don't they dub this into English and release it especially in the US, so that it can compete with other hollywood flicks and show them how a dubbed movie excels at the BO. Also all over the world people will watch, understand and ensoy our type of entertainment. Is the movie released in Uganda, Ethiopia? Any updates on collection on those centers?
  
  Come on, let the movie run for couple of weeks atleast before deciding its fate at BO.

  Hi
  Watched the movie on Sunday. Had fun overall but was feeling little let down but I know why.
  All along I was expecting Shankar to surpass his earlier venture he made with the other superstar in 1996 in terms of script, makeup, stunts, twists, getups, dialogues, graphics, locations.
  
  I mean, Give me a break, Shankar! Its 2007 and moviemaking technology has advanced exponentially and you had a near unlimited budget, a superstar actor and music director...
  
  I think Shankar underestimated 2 people - Superstar and Superstar's fans. Perusa yosichittu paadhi la ivaingalukku idhu podhum nu vitta madhiri irukku. The movie falls a bit short of what it could have been.
  
  But He's somehow managed to reasonably please almost everyone.
  Just take the humor in Sivaji for example... it has in your face slapstick comedy( for kids), satire for the subtle, and also jokes bordering on indecent for the viewers with adequate street cred.
  And he's presented Rajini in various getups for all kinds of viewers too. Its just that all this happens at the expense of the script.
  
  Hey, I shouldn't be nitpicking when I got my money's worth. .
  
  I personally wanted to see a wicked badass Rajini causing a lot of bodycount and I think I got that in the last 20minutes. I'm happy.

  Ok, let us try one more time. To Rajini fans: Accept criticisms of the film. No one needs to make apologies for thier views. Don't think that only your view is the valid view. If you are unable to accept, ignore. To the others: Try to understand the jubiliation and avoid throwing wet blankets into Rajini fans enthusiasm. As long as it does not hurt you, live and let live. All: DO NOT under any circumstances bring other actors into this thread. All it takes is one provocative post to light the fire.

  Busineess online reports
  
  (6/21/2007)
  
  A Mumbai distributor wants 17 more prints of the movie for that market, some of them to replace a recent Hindi movie release which isn't faring well at the box office.
  
  The distributor is coming down shortly to Chennai, says Mr Babu, to give in the first `minimum guarantee' cheque (beyond which profits are shared) to AVM and collect the fresh prints.
  
  With 800 prints and over 900 screens and more to come, Tamil moviedom's superstar Rajnikanth's ninth movie with AVM, Sivaji, the Boss, may well have changed the way films are being marketed in the country.

  Record Break by the BOSS
  (6/21/2007)
  
  SIVAJI has created many records not only in Tamilnadu, but in almost all the foreign countries.
  
  The biggest surprise is the GCC countries in which Sivaji has been received in a very grand manner and the tickets are not available for another one week. We are in constant touch with all the theatres across and we are getting the answer that they never witnessed this kind of response for any movie and the tickets are selling like hot pancakes, even after a week time, which is definitely a rarest of rare phenomenon.

  Sivaji dances on Jhoom...
  http://www.business-standard.com/iceworld/storypage.php?leftnm=lmnu9&subLeft=&autono=288696&tab=r
  
  
  In UK, the film debuted at number six position and collected Rs 2.13 crore on 47 screens, while in the USA it was at 16th position and collected Rs 1.85 crore.
  
  Interestingly, Sivaji fetched one of the biggest openings ever in UK, and though it debuted at ninth position, it has raced past Jhoom even there. So, while Jhoom struggles to recover its money, Sivaji could be laughing all the way to 2007’s biggest grosser.

  'King’ Rajnikant is not just ruling the box-office down South. Even in aamchi Mumbai Sivaji that opened with an unprecedented 17 prints, has generated mass hysteria and not just with die-hard Rajni loyalists. It has sparked off considerable interest even amongst Maharashtrians, Gujaratis, Bengalis, Biharis and the North Indians.

  Rajnikanth turns down honor at IIFA
  
  By Subhash K. Jha, June 21, 2007 - 06:23 IST
  
  Though the IIFA awards ceremony at Yorkshire went off swimmingly, a little-known fact about the event is the reason behind non-presence of the Tamil iconic superstar Rajnikanth.
  
  However Rajni who's always fought shy of awards and honours had to decline the offer. Says the Big B, "It's true we wanted to honor Rajnikanth at Yorkshire this year, but unfortunately he not could make it due to the release of Sivaji- The Boss. But we will someday, for he deserves many distinctions."

  I think Rajini should NOT miss these auspicious occassions and awards! What's the point of shying away! You get what you deserve.... Be proud, stand tall, and act as an example to fans! It's a great honor, and will surely inspire many!

  yahoooo... planning to watch sivaji second time tomorrow. Naalaiku office cut.
  In hyderabad, Sivaji(Tamil) was screened only 2 shows per week. But from last tuesday onwards it is screened 1 show daily. The ad on times of India last tuesday read "Daily 1 show due to Heavy Heavy Rush".
  
  Thalaivar rocks.

  Sivaji dances on Jhoom...
  
  Abhilasha Ojha / New Delhi June 22, 2007
  
  It was one of the most-awaited films of 2007, but with Jhoom Barabar Jhoom going kaput at the box office, its first weekend report has been less than encouraging.
  
  While critics slammed this Rs 30 crore “musical love story”, most of them gave the thumbs up to Sivaji: The Boss, actor Rajinikanth’s vehicle made on a reported budget of Rs 70-80 crore.

  Muslims unhappy with 'Sivaji'
  
  Wednesday - Jun 20, 2007
  Televisionpoint.com Correspondent
  
  "The scene showing the hero in an underground den full of Muslims dealing with hawala transactions is highly objec tionable. It makes it seem that our community is involved in such illegal acts against the state and the people. We cannot accept this," said the TMMK general secretary S. Hyder Ali.

  Bachchan has a small guest appearance in ‘ Sivaji - The Boss’. It happened because the producer of ‘Sivaji’ brought the rights of a film starring the Big B, which had run into financial problems and hence was stopped.

  Sivaji not only hit in tamilnade and worldwide but also its telugu version is creating records.
  
  
  Sivaji beats CM
  Rajnikant: The New Nizam Boss!
  Tamil superstar Rajnikant’s Shivaji is lived up to the media hype. It is setting new records as per as box-office collections are concerned. The first four days collections of the Telugu version are awesome. It took unprecedented openings for a dubbed movie.
  
  2.75 Crores in 4 days
  
  In Nizam the film was released by Pyramid Samaira (it is their first film in Andhra Pradesh) in about 90 theatres. 42 theatres alone are in Hyderabad. And for the first four days it had collected Rs 2.75 Crores. “Chandramukhi’s Nizam share was Rs 2.65 Crores for 100 days. Shivaji crossed that amount in just four days. That is the phenomenal business that Shivaji doing,” Rammohan Rao, COO, Pyramid Samaira, told us.
  
  He expects it to collect Rs 3.75 – 4 Crores (Share) in Nizam for the first week. If it collects that amount, it is sure going to be a record. No Telugu film collected a share of Rs 4 Crores in Nizam so far in the first week itself.
  
  Traditionally, Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan are the kings of Nizam area. Their films collect in big way in the area. Recently Mahesh’s films (Pokiri and Sainikudu) are also doing phenonomenal business in Nizam but Shivaji is surprising everyone.
  
  From Tuesday onwards, there is a noticeable slide in collections though. “In 85 % theatres we are still getting occupancy of 80 – 90 percent. Rest of the areas it is around 70 percent,” says Rammohan Rao.

  A review from Sudhish Kamath (a HC rajini fan)
  
  http://sudhishkamath.blogspot.com/2007/06/sivaji-review-of-reviews.html
  
  
  At the interval block, his twin intentions of getting the right girl and building the college are the lowest point. Things can only get better from here and as that coin turns, so does his fate and Shankar flips mode from reality to fantasy. Now, this is the part we’ve been waiting for. The part that Shankar absolutely revels in. The part that puts Sivaji in the list of his most memorable films.
  
  We see Rajni fight his way back, like in Annamalai, like in Padayappa, like in Baasha, he gets his chance to payback… Line for line, coin for coin… “Kooti kazhichu paaru, Kannakku Seriya Irukkum… Yenkitta Kannakku Pesuraanga. Yedu Vandi!”
  
  Now, all those films were about personal triumph, this one is a little larger than that. It’s about a triumph for the society, issues are large and complex and they need to be simplified with comic book storytelling. The villain needs to be someone you hate with all your guts and having a despicable soft speaking scum is a nice touch. After all those Perarasu films, I was turning deaf with all the yelling.
  
  Settling a score is what most films have been about. And seriously, who does it better than Superstar. What makes Sivaji memorable is that it also plays out like a Best of Rajni compilation. It has features his best looks, get-ups, gestures, dialogue delivery, plot-devices and also enriches his existing repertoire of style, facilitating a connect with the Rajni we know from the past to the Superstar he has become to what he could be – the reformer, a Sivaji (the actor par excellence) who could also be MGR (the messiah).
  
  Entertainment has never been so explosive. The last act is pure dynamite. Climax is at its orgasmic best if you’re a Rajni fan. Something that works like a charm especially because of the extended foreplay in the slightly flawed first half.

  I think we are in the midst of history in making. And being a fan, I am proud to witness it. And even prouder when it involved NT's name (and Rajini's real name).

  Shivai Review by The HINDU
  
  http://www.hindu.com/fr/2007/06/22/stories/2007062250530200.htm
  
  Genre: Action
  Director: Shankar
  Cast: Rajinikanth, Shreya, Vivek, Suman
  Storyline: Of a do-gooder who vows to expose black money hoarders.
  Bottomline: With an expert team in tow, Rajini reigns!
  He’s referred to as ‘Madras Messiah’ and ‘Style Samrat’ (in the film) and he’s here to win! Diligently chiselled to meld Shankar’s formula and Rajinikanth’s style AVM’s ‘Sivaji’ is a t reat for frenzied fans of action. Generally, too much hype or too much secrecy could turn counter-productive. But even with a hero whose selective off-media stance has been slightly disconcerting (the English news channels went to town with crisp interviews with the superstar!) juxtaposed with dizzying promo campaigns, ‘Sivaji’ provides enough and more for style-starved cinemagoers all over. And the appreciable factor is ‘Sivaji’ carries a solid message too.
  
  Cleansing society of chronic ills is a theme Shankar els in.. The helpless man on the street can do nothing about the bad becoming big and the good being punished. But Shankar’s hero can — with a cornucopia of glitz and gloss! And with Rajini helming the action in style, the entertainment module is near perfect.
  
  Sivaji decides to rid the country of black money — a stupendous task. The way he goes about systematically exposing hoarders and racketeers may not be true to life. But who wants reality on screen?
  
  The utopian State Sivaji strives for is a futile dream, so when it happens at least on celluloid, why not sit back and enjoy?
  And now, to Rajini
  
  The intro scene where Rajinikanth turns around smilingly to face the camera shocks you out of your seat! The man looks as young as he did about three decades ago! The right kind of wig, make up, angles and digital expertise present a remarkably youthful Rajini. It’s only in one of the later scenes (in prison), does he look jaded.
  
  The suave, sophisticated, English-speaking (and quite clearly, at that) Rajinikanth is rather new. His style patterns gain more sheen in ‘Sivaji’ — the ambidexterity and speedy body language will make his fans scream in joy. Of course, as for fight or dance sequences whatever Rajini does with his feet and fingers is dance and how ever he moves his hands and legs is style!
  
  Rajini’s adeptness at slapstick comedy is well-known — Shankar exploits it quite well. Vivek and Rajini make a hilarious twosome. If Vivek and others have been allowed to mimic Rajini so freely it only shows the hero’s maturity. And the way in which Rajini and Vivek imitate Vadivelu is another rib-tickling exercise. ‘Sivaji’ is a bumper harvest for Vivek who also holds his own with his typical, sarcastic one-liners.
  
  Shreya shines as the modest, well covered homely girl. In the dances, of course, she compensates amply with a crowd pulling glam quotient. In such a meticulously detailed film you wonder why her lip sync has been grossly ignored — at times her erroneous mouthing of words appears quite funny.
  
  Suman returns to Tamil after quite a while, as a villain this time. His menacing looks, authoritative strides and understated performance grip you. Just a couple of scenes, but Raghuvaran makes them impressive.
  
  Shankar’s story, though on guessable lines, has been made engaging by his screenplay and Anthony’s intelligent scissoring. Yet ‘Sivaji’ sags towards the end. However, the cocktail gets tangier with Sujatha’s dialogue.
  
  With A.R. Rahman at the console the hip numbers spell variety. The SPB-Rajini combo for the opening song has always augured well. This time it’s an exuberant ‘Ballelakka …’ The scintillating ‘Sahana Saaral …’ will remain unforgettable. (Are you imagining it or is Udit Narayan’s pronunciation really improving?)
  
  The sound design of A.S.Lakshminarayanan, the large helpings of visual splendour that Thottatharani’s art serves, the excellent lens view K.V.Anand provides, the hi-tech CG wizardry coupled with the make-up department’s (Banu) incredible achievement — technical support offers a Lucullan feast in ‘Sivaji.’
  
  Those who plump for films in the ‘Superman,’ ‘Spiderman’ genre will love our very own Style Man Supreme!

  அட, ரஜினியா இது! பத்துப் பதினைந்து ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்னர் பார்த்த அதே துறுதுறு, சுறுசுறு ரஜினி! இத்-தனை பாலி-ஷாக அவரைக் காட்டியதற்கு கே.வி.ஆனந்த் கேமராவுக்கும் கிராஃபிக்ஸ் குழுவுக்கும் ஸ்பெஷல் பாராட்டு!
  
  ஸ்ரேயாவுடன் ‘பழகிப் பழகி’ காதல் செய்யும் ரொமான்ஸ் ஆகட்டும், முல்தானி மிட்டியில் மூழ்கிக் குளித்து ‘சிவப்’பாக முயற்சிக்கும் கலாட்டாவா-கட்-டும், சட்டைக் காலரை கடித்தபடி ‘தி பாஸ்’ என்று பிஸினஸ் புள்ளிகளை மிரட்டுவதாகட்டும் சிக்கிய இடத்தில் எல்லாம் சிக்ஸர் அடிக்கிறார் ரஜினி.
  
  ‘மொட்டை பாஸ்’ ஆக மறுஜென்மம் எடுத்து வரும்போது ஆக்ஷனிலும் அடி பின்னுகிறார்.
  
  ரஜினியைத் தவிர்த்து கவனத்தை கொஞ்சம் போலத் திருடுபவர்கள் விவேக், ஸ்ரேயா மட்டுமே! ரஜினி அடிக்க வேண்டிய பன்ச்களை Ôவிவேக் மாமாÕவை விட்டே விளாசியதும் ஒரு டெக்னிக்தான்!
  
  ஹீரோவை & அதிலும் சூப்பர் ஸ்டாரை சாய்க்க வில்லன் எந்தளவுக்கு மெனக்கெட வேண்டும்..! ஆனால், சுமனோ சும்மாச்சுக்கும் சுற்றித் திரிவதோடு சரி!

  I think all reviewers r bit harsh on Sankar and failed to understand that Sivaji is his 'baby' which even Rajini said again & again in some interview. If the movie wins, credit goes to both Sankar & Rajini 50%!
  The reviewers saying something like no logic , why this? why that? etc..are jus to show them off as intellucts, which is the most stupid way of revealing their ignorance!

  Quote:

  Sivaji gold rush sweeps the globe Rediff Entertainment Bureau Every Rajnikanth [Images] release is a festival of sorts for his diehard fans. But with the superstar's latest release Sivaji: The Boss, the fans have outdone themselves. Here is a look at what happened around the world during the release of the star's 100th Tamil movie. From the United States to Britain, from the Gulf countries to the South Asian countries, Sivaji has ruled, with the South Indian Diaspora lapping up the film. An online booking site claimed that the opening shows across the United States were sold out within 24 hours. 'Nothing like this has ever been witnessed before. Shows in New Jersey, Chicago, Minneapolis and Virginia are experiencing unheard of sales. One of the biggest centres in the nation, San Jose/Fremont, will be opening up shortly. There is no doubt this centre will have sold out crowds in a matter of hours,' the site said. In Chicago, for instance, the film was booked for the first 12 weekends even before its release, with fans paying up to $25 for a ticket. When Spider-Man 3 opened, the tickets were priced at $18. The Chicago Tribune reported : After hoisting a watermelon with a flaming candle above their heads, club members smashed it to the ground as a gesture of celebration, eliciting cheers from the waiting crowd. 'This is like seeing a movie with Brad Pitt [Images] or watching something like Pirates of the Caribbean,' the report quoted a fan as saying. Fans queue up for tickets to the showOne expatriate fan bought popcorn for $50 and distributed it to the audience in a hall in the US. Generous? No, crazy is the word, for the popcorn was to substitute confetti and used whenever Rajni appeared on screen! 'There was this guy in the theatre who wore a Sivaji-style wig, and entertained people even before the movie started. There was another guy, who spent around $50 on popcorn and distributed it to everyone so people could throw it in the air when Rajni filled the screen. Another gang brought camphor and pumpkins to show to a Rajni poster. They started dancing and yelling way before the film started,' a fan wrote in. A theatre in Singapore, struggling to keep up with overflowing fans, is reported to have screened 15 shows in a day. 'Every film I will not miss and I see them at least one time -- minimum one time, and maximum up to 10 or 20 times. He is my very favourite actor. He is a very good inspiration for me. I love him,' the report quoted a fan as saying. Trade data from Britain shows Sivaji overtaking Fantastic Four, Ocean's 13 and the third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean! Sivaji, which is being shown only in 12 screens in Britain, has fetched one of the biggest starting collections ever on the island and has put to shame the much hyped Yash Raj film Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, which has only collected nearly Rs 23 million despite being shown in 47 screens,' the report said. Movie halls in Abu Dhabi did not fail to cash in on Sivaji mania either. They hiked ticket prices and sure enough, the fans didn't mind. 'I have watched the movie four times and I will watch a few more times. Price hike does not make a difference because such movies deserve it,' said the Khaleej Times quoted a caterer named Gopinath as saying. While Gopinath would have burned a hole in his pocket, about a thousand labourers in Dubai were in luck. The Rajni World Welfare Trust, an NGO, will distribute tickets free of costs to the workers, including housemaids. 'There are many hard-working labourers in Dubai who wish to watch the movie but cannot afford it. That's why we decided to buy tickets for them,' an organiser said. In Malaysia, like everywhere else, it broke the box office records, collecting Rs 60 lakhs on its opening day. Earlier, fans had gone berserk when the movie's screening was delayed, causing losses running into lakhs. Fans wearing t-shirts featuring the star, pose for photographs'Movie fans turned violent causing thousands of dollars worth of damage in Malaysia when the screening of a new South Indian flick was delayed or cancelled,' a report said. 'In the central Selangor state, northern Perak and Penang states, police were needed to stop Friday's violence, the New Straits Times newspaper said. At the Sri Intan theatre in Klang, west of the capital Kuala Lumpur, fans destroyed speakers, tore the screen and curtains and broke chairs after the movie came to an abrupt stop midway due to a technical problem,' the report added. And finally, fans in Japan -- where the star has an inexplicably huge following -- will get to see the movie by the end of June. The movie will also be released in South Africa sometime around the end of June for which 50 prints are in the making.

  I am 200% sure the 'varalaaru kaanatha' big opening is mainly due to Sankar, though Rajini movies often gets a big opening. But this is like history in the making only due to Sankar and noone can deny it!

  Can't be only. Chandramukhi is a badly made film, but becauser of whom did the movie generated record? Shankar?
  
  I think the valararu kaanatha fact is due to us, the fans. We have been hyping the movie since day one, looking for scraps, rumours, etc. Everyday we discuss Sivaji. Expectation grew, was brought down, and grew again, and so on so forth.
  
  I think we owe it to us for the success of this movie. My brother and I are watching it again this weekend (his third, my second, unfair).

  Agreed. But interest of people increased after seeing a much younger, stylish rajini. Shankar is responsible for that. Shankar must be given his due credit atleast for that

  Shankar gets credit, but without Rajini this is a recycle of a recycle of a recyle of Shankar movie. Rajini gave it a surrealistically magical quality.

  Agreed.
  
  Though a typical Shankar story, it was spun around Rajini's strength. The fights were spun around Rajini's supposed speed. The dances were tailor made for Rajini. The dialogues, the comedy, it's Rajini, rajini and Rajini all the way and we have to credit Shankar the scriptwriter, Sujata the dialogue writer, the production designer, the stunt choreographer and the dance choreographer (Most know Rajini style, but Prabhu Deva understands what Rajini style is about, see Athiradee).
  
  But without Rajini?

  Ajay,
  I am also saying the combination works ,but without Rajini ,this movie could be wash out ...If Rajini replaced Arjun in muthalvan ,that should be bigger than sivaji.
  
  Also my point is ,nobody giving credit to AVM ,who went for mass release (no of screens) statergy and correct media add and hype.

  Right Joe. We still smack our head thinking how greater Mudhalvan would have been with Rajini. And yes, it would have been an instant classic.
  
  Yes, AVM should take credit too, for the risk they are taking (number of screens is crazy).
  
  As for hype, we fans played a part didn't we. A small but significant part.

  வெளியூர்களில் மவுசு குறைந்த `சிவாஜி'
  
  20 ஜூன் 2007
  18:13 IST
  
  Blog this story
  
  
  
  சூப்பர்ஸ்டார் ரஜினிகாந்த் நடித்து பிரபலமாக ஓடிக் கொண்டிக்கும் `சிவாஜி' படத்தைக் காண சென்னை தவிர்த்து மற்ற ஊர்களில் மக்கள் வரத்து குறைந்திருப்பதாகத் தெரிய வந்துள்ளது.
  
  பொன்னேரி, திருவள்ளூர், காஞ்சிபுரம், மதுரை, திருநெல்வேலி போன்ற நகரங்களில் கடந்த 5 நாட்களாக குறிப்பிட்ட சினிமா காம்ப்ளக்ஸ்களில் அனைத்து தியேட்டர்களிலும் திரையிடப்பட்டு வந்த நிலை மாறி, தியேட்டர்களின் எண்ணிக்கை குறைந்துள்ளதாம்.
  
  4 தியேட்டர்கள் கொண்ட ஒரு காம்ப்ளக்ஸில் பாதியளவுக்கே மக்கள் கூட்டம் இருப்பதால், அது 2 தியேட்டர்களாக கட் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளதாம்.
  
  சென்னையில் மட்டும் 10 முதல் 15 நாட்கள் வரை ஐ.டி. நிறுவனங்கள் பல்க் புக்கிங் செய்யப்பட்டு விட்டதால், தொடர்ந்து சிவாஜி அனைத்து தியேட்டர்களிலும் திரையிடப்பட்டு வருகிறது.
  
  மேலும் அனைத்து தியேட்டர்களிலுமே டிக்கெட் கட்டணம் மிக அதிகமாக இருப்பதும் மக்கள் கூட்டம் குறைந்திருப்பதற்கான காரணம் என்று தகவல்கள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.

  Sure! A significant part ..Rajini's late 80's childwood fans now spreading in various parts across the world ..They still have the same enthusiasm ..
  
  More over ,AVM send copies to many cities in abroad ,where no tamil movie screened so far ..This made not only Rajini fans,but most tamils go and watch with excitement of seeing tamil movie at their towns.

  Leave it apart guys...
  In the past, there were a very few movies which stood to the hype created upon...
  and this movie, for the 10 times more hype than any other movie, its been delivered atleast to this extent...
  Thats a big success for shankar and his crew...
  
  more the hype... your target grows and expectations grow very high...
  and every other person will be having their own expectation upon the movie...
  
  for that, we can call it a big success, as it has impressed a majority of the neutral audience and most of the fans...
  
  That is a big big success by shankar and others...
  
  the others who were not impressed are those who had certain script abt the movie in their mind, or who expected something very diff from the crew...

  A good news to Rajni fanatics
  
  Sivaji is steadily rocking in Chennai (only in TN??).
  
  Abirami increased one theatre (all theatres Sivaji)
  Mayajal - 22 shows
  INOX - 8 shows (+2 for Sat/Sun)
  Satyam - 8 shows
  
  Don't know about udhayam, kamala, etc..

  What are the "proofs" you are talking about? Do you have any way of knowing how the movie is doing in places like Trichy, Madurai, Kovai, Tiruppur, Nellai etc?
  The websites are on an unprecedented spree.
  Nobody denied its going great guns in Chennai and some FMS areas till now.
  No website has given any data otherwise.
  
  Regarding Opening: Your stance is funny because for a high budget movie like Sivaji, the opening better be unprecedented. That's a minimum requirement. adhu kooda illena how can it be profitable? ivalavu selavu pannirukkaanga, appo kandippa opening periya alavula irukkanum. That's basic. Plus, this is just the first week. How can you conclude its a blockbuster?
  
  ippo enna solreenga, Madurai la it was not taken off some screens (even before 1 week) nu solreengala?
  Illa matha centers la its doing very well nu ungalukku engalukku theriyadha information irukka? illa unga friends yaravadhu neradiya paathu sonnaangala? On what basis are you proclaiming what you say os correct and what we say is wrong? Please enlighten me.
  
  P.S: Unlike you, i am not *concluding* anything here (blockbuster/flop etc). It is doing well in some centers while its not doing that well in some. That's all. Don't put word in my mouths

  Important matter
  
  Remember the approx sales figures of Sivaji
  
  Chennai rights : 6+ Crores
  TN rights (except Chennai) : 50+ Crores
  FMS : Don't know
  Karnataka : 3~ Cr
  Kerala : 3~ Cr
  Andhra : 14~ Cr
  etc
  
  Thus it makes, TN rights is the biggest and Sivaji should collect more money than other areas otherwise

  Any movie, be it starring any star, will not run to packed houses in the weekdays.Sivaji being released in so many theatres, definitely cannot be houseful in all the theatres.
  
  Except cities/multiplexes definitely you will not see houseful shows in the weekdays. On weekends that will be a different story.
  
  Claiming it as blockbuster in the first week itself is too much. Adha naanga 1 or 2 weeks kalichu sollarom

  SANJEEVI look at the simple calculation
  
  650(screens) * 4 (shows) * 500(seats) * 100 Rs. = 13 crores / day
  
  this the average rating...
  
  there are more than 650 prints taken and theater seats are more than 700 , same thing to tickets...
  
  it will easily gross the production amount in 10 days or so..

  I think over here I accept what joe bro said!! Credit has to be given equally to AVM, Shankar and ofcourse our Thalaivar(allways adds points to any application)...
  
  Moreover I find ppl here are talking about poor script of sivaji.. well Well I also felt the same after watching the movie for da first time... but like Bay when I watched it for the second time I realised that so many things were really meaningful and the muvie was going at a rapid pace... felt as if "oh god is the muvie is over - must watch it once more". Moreover I think that the weak script was basically due to the fact that if the movie had a good script ppl wud have started saying that " This muvie wud have been a hit even if murali had acted in it coz of the strong script" .. So we have to produce a weak script and prove the magic of our thaliavar which has been done...
  
  Now the movie has satisfied all the audience and making them to go to theatres multiple times...
  
  Myself and many of my friends felt that CM was not that good even though it had a good script.. Who wud have loved to watch the muvie multiple times except for the intro scene... Also there wud have been a lot of pressure on shankar from the HC thalaivar fans that we wanna see our thalaivar like this like that and etc.. He has just obliged to them as well as satisfying others who came in with different expectations...
  
  This muvie is an out and out entertainer and I don't mind watching it any number of times...

  Some beleive it is a super hit ,some beleive the other way ..Personally I feel ,So far it worked out for the first case ..But since this is something new (Mass release) ,we need to wait and see what will be the impact in coming days .
  
  So no point in argueing on BO now

  1) Sanjeevi did start a thread for Sivaji BO and the mods felt such discussions can be had in this thread itself
  2) So, did/will you also oppose people posting links about Sivaji's BO "success"? Going by this post, you should!

  "Chennai/FMS - A center "
  looks plausible at present.
  
  Also, this film has garnered unprecedented media attention and hype. Chennai/overseas crowds are the ones who will be exposed mainly to the electronic media (as against the traditional print media).

  AFAIK, this week was not good at all w.r.to sivaji's BO in a few major cities like Trichy and Madurai but on the contrary its doing real good in other major cities like kOvai and salem. Of course the theaters are not 100% full but 80-90% even in weekdays in those cities. In trichy kalai arangam except evening/night shows the theater is hardly 50% full. But I guess this weekend will be a deciding factor on a lot of centers. And in majority of the B and C centers, the film is having a very good run on the weekdays
  
  There is NO way this movie will fail to break even

  In a way, if the theatres in b & c centres lose money, i wouldn't be too bothered. oru sub-standard theatre kattitu ticket 100, 200 nu vikaranga.
  
  ippo vara padangalthaan nalla illatiyum movie going experience avuthu nalla irukanum illai.
  
  the government order regarding the ceiling on ticket price was good in a way.
  
  but, i think AVM stuck a deal with the government for unofficially raising rates in turn giving sivaji rights to a new tv for throw away price.

  Nerd, Looks like the BO Results are getting a bit complicated and not uniform. nowadays these kinda things happens and i would even quote the same situation for VV. As there where umpteen problems, eventho the movie became blockbuster, the producer didnt end up with reaping profits, instead some meargre profit. I know some ppl dont agree with this
  
  For sivaaji dilution in small metros, another reason maybe, the MORE no of theatres

  I hope I'm not wrong when I say Sivaji will open up new global markets for other Tamil superstar films and put them on the map.
  
  When their movies recieve a gargantuan opening worldwide, I'll be happy if they(actors and fans) have it in them to give credit where it is due.

  you can't take rajni from sivaji. why?
  
  cos, sankar himself told in an interview that he wrote the story keeping rajni in mind.
  
  for other movies, he wrote the story, screen play first, then chose the hero.

  The goal of Sivaji... correction... The goal of almost every film is to set box office records and please fans.
  
  Mission Accomplished.
  appuram inna debate vendi kedakku?
  
  You should be out of your mind to look for a tight realistic script in a Rajini movie. Period.
  
  Sivaji ku appuram Rajini sir oda saleability/talent pathi yaarukaavadhu doubts irukka?
  Critics have been silenced. Only some meesaila mannu ottala people will disagree. As Rajini fans, we can only point and laugh at them.
  
  The industry would be blessed and forever grateful if they are gifted a Rajini movie every single year.

  ‘‘பேரைச் சொன்னாலே அதிருதுல’’ _ சிவாஜியில் ரஜினி அடிக்கடி சொல்லும் டயலாக் இது. உண்மைதான். தியேட்டர் அதிர வேண்டுமென்றே ஒரு படம் எடுத்திருக்கிறார்கள். நோக்கம் நிறைவேறியிருக்கிறது.
  
  அமெரிக்காவில் கம்ப்யூட்டர் சாஃப்ட்வேர் ஆர்க்கிடெக்ட்டாக சம்பாதித்த கோடிகளுடன் இந்தியா திரும்பும் ரஜினி, அந்தப் பணத்தைக் கொண்டு இலவசக் கல்வி கொடுக்க விரும்புகிறார். அரசாங்க அனுமதி வாங்கி, சம்பாதித்த பணம் முழுவதையும் கல்வி நிறுவனங்களில் முதலீடு செய்கிறார். ஆனால், ஊழல்வாதிகள் அவரை வளரவிட மறுக்கிறார்கள். அவரை நடுத்தெருவுக்குக் கொண்டு வந்து விடுகிறார்கள். வில்லன் அவர் கையில் ஒரு ரூபாய் பிச்சை போட்டு ‘பிழைத்துக் கொள்’ என்று சொல்லிப் போகிறான். அந்த ஒரு ரூபாயைக் கொண்டு மீண்டும் கல்வி, வேலை, மருத்துவம் என்று தன் சாம்ராஜ்யத்தை நிறுவுகிறார். இதை எப்படிச் சாதிக்கிறார் என்பதுதான் திரைக்கதை.
  
  கதை, திரைக்கதையெல்லாம் படத்தில் முக்கியமில்லை. ஒரே ஒரு விஷயத்தைத்தான் இயக்குநர் நம்பியிருக்கிறார். ரஜினி. நம்பிக்கை வீண் போகவில்லை.
  
  ரஜினியின் சுறுசுறுப்பும் விறு விறுப்பும் பிரமிக்க வைக்கிறது. ஆடுகிறார், பாடுகிறார், அடிக் கிறார், அசத்துகிறார். கண்களின் காந்த சக்தி இன்னும் அப்ப டியே. உதட்டோர காதல் சிரிப்பும் ஆக்ரோஷ அதிரடிச் சிரிப்பும் ரஜினி ரசிகர்களை பரவசப்படுத்துகின்றன. அதுவும் அந்த மொட்டைத் தலையில் அவர் காட்டும் ஸ்டைல் கலக்கல். சுயிங்கத்தை கையில் தட்டி வாயில் போடுவதும், நாணயத்தை அப்படி சுண்டி இப்படி சுண்டி பாக்கெட்டில் போடுவதும் விசிலடிக்க வைக்கின்றன.
  
  முதல் பாதியில் வரும் காமெடி கலந்த காதல் காட்சிகள் நிறைய சிரிக்க வைக்கின்றன. அவ்வப்போது அபத்தத்தின் எல்லையையும் தொட்டுவிட்டு வருகின்றன. காதலையும் தன் மாற்றி யோசிக்கும் ஃபார்முலாபடி சொல்லியிருக்கிறார் ஷங்கர். வழக்க மாய் ஹீரோயின்தான் ரஜினியைத் துரத்தித் துரத்தி காதலிப்பார். இங்கே ரஜினி, ஸ்ரேயாவைத் துரத்துகிறார்.
  
  முதல் பாதி காதல் காமெடி என்றால், இரண்டாவது பாதி ஆக்ஷன் அதிரடி.
  
  கார்கள் சீறுகின்றன. அமெரிக்காவுக்கும் இந்தியாவுக்கும் பண மூட்டைகள் மாறுகின்றன. ஒரு ரூபாய் கோடி ரூபாய்களாய் குவிகிறது. கிராஃபிக்ஸில் கட்டடங்கள் எழும்புகின்றன. சட்சட்டென்று ஹெலிகாப்டர்கள் இறங்குகின்றன. கிங்காங் வாய்க்குள் ஜீப் பறந்து போய் நுழைகிறது. வில்லன்கள் சுழன்று சுழன்று விழுகிறார்கள். சிவாஜி _ எம்.ஜி.ஆர். ஆகிறார். ஸ்டைல் முடி மொட்டை ஆகிறது. பண நோட்டுக்கள் பறக்கின்றன. கறுப்புப் பணக்காரர்கள் (அது என்ன, கறுப்புப் பணம் என்றாலே, அரசியல்வாதிகளும் தொழிலதிபர்களும் தானா? சினிமாகாரர்கள் கிடையாதா?) பணம் கட்டுக்கட்டாய் வெளியே வருகிறது.
  
  நமது காதுகளில் சுற்றப்படும் பூக்களைக் கூட கவனிக்க விடாமல் படம் படுவேகமாக நகருகிறது. தியேட்டருக்கு வெளியே வந்து யோசிக்கும்போதுதான் காதுல பூ சமாச்சாரம் தெரிகிறது.
  
  ‘‘கூல்’’ இதுவும் படத்தில் அடிக்கடி உபயோகிக்கும் வார்த்தை. அதனால் டென்ஷனாக வேண்டாம். கூல். இது லாஜிக் பார்க்க வேண்டிய படமல்ல. பார்க்க வேண்டியது இரண்டு விஷயங்களைத்தான். ரஜினியின் ஸ்டைல், ஷங்கரின் பிரமாண்டம். இரண்டும் பிரமாதமாய் இருக்கின்றன.
  
  ‘ஒரு கூடை சன்லைட்’ பாடல் காட்சி தமிழ் சினிமாவில் ஒரு மைல் கல். காமிரா கோணங்கள், எடிட்டிங், சூழல், ரஜினி_ஸ்ரேயாவின் ஆட்டம் என மலைக்க வைக்கிறது. வழக்கமாய் முதலிரவுக் காட்சிகளில் பாலும் பழமும் வைத்து டூயட் பாடுவார்கள். இங்கும் ஷங்கர் மாற்றி யோசித்திருக்கிறார். மைக்கேல் ஜாக்சனின் ‘ப்ளட் ஆன் தி டான்ஸ் ஃப்ளோர்’ ஜாடையில் ரஹ்மான் பாடியிருக்கும் ‘தீ தீ’ பாடலுக்கு ‘டெஸ்பரடோ’ பட துப்பாக்கி வில்லன்கள் ஸ்டைலில் காட்சியமைத்திருக்கிறார் ஷங்கர். அது ஒரு கிராஃபிக்ஸ் அற்புதம். ஷங்கர் இந்தப் படத்தில் புகுத்தியிருக்கும் தொழில்நுட்பங்களைப் பற்றி தனிப் புத்தகமே போடலாம். ஷங்கருக்கும், துணிந்து செலவு செய்த தயாரிப்பாளருக்கும் சபாஷ்.
  
  பிரமாண்ட பாடல் காட்சிகளுடன் போட்டி போடுகின்றன பாடல் வரிகள். ‘தீ,தீ’ வாலியின் இளமை அதிரடி. ‘சாஹானா’ வைரமுத்துவின் காதல் சரவெடி, ‘ஒரு கூடை சன்லைட்’ பா.விஜய்யின் ஃபாரின் வெடி. ‘பல்லேலக்கா’ நா.முத்துக்குமாரின் இயற்கை வெடி.
  
  வெள்ளை வேட்டி சட்டையில் மீசையில்லாமல் வரும் சுமன் படத்தின் இன்னொரு அதிசயம் ஆறடி உயரம் ஆஜானுபாகுவான தேகம் கொண்டு அதிகம் பேசாமல் மிரட்டுகிறார். இனி தமிழ்ப் படங்களில் இவரை நிறைய பார்க்கலாம்.
  
  ஸ்ரேயா ஒரு ஆச்சரியம். பொதுவாய் தமிழ் சினிமா ஹீரோயின்கள் அழகாயிருப்பார்கள். இவர் நடிக்கவும் செய்கிறார். பாடல் காட்சிகளுக்கு அத்தனை செலவு செய்தவர்கள், ரசிகர்கள் மனமறிந்து ஸ்ரேயாவின் மேலாடைக்கு அதிகம் செலவழிக்கவில்லை.
  
  ரஜினியின் வலது கரமாய் விவேக். அவர்தான் படத்தின் காமெடிக்கரம். உதவிக்கரங்களாய் மணிவண்ணன், பட்டிமன்ற பேச்சாளர்கள் சாலமன் பாப்பையா, ராஜா.
  
  ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மானின் ஆர்ப்பாட்டமான இசை, சுஜாதாவின் புத்திசாலித்தனமான வசனங்கள், கே.வி.ஆனந்தின் அட்டகாச ஒளிப்பதிவு, ஆண்டனியின் அதிவேக எடிட்டிங், தோட்டாதரணியின் பிரமாண்ட அரங்குகள்... என சிவாஜியின் டாப் டென் லிஸ்ட் போட்டுக் கொண்டே போகலாம்.
  
  படத்தில் இத்தனை ப்ளஸ்கள். ஆனால் ஒரே ஒரு மைனஸ், திரைக்கதை. படத்தைப் பார்க்குபோது ஜென்டில்மேன், இந்தியன், முதல்வன், அந்நியன் என பல படங்கள் நினைவுக்கு வருவது திரைக்கதையின் பலவீனம். மாத்தி யோசிங்க, ஷங்கர்.

  Thanks joe.
  
  Sensible, impartial review.

  Aren't all films about suspension of disbelief for that 3hours? To tell yourself that what you see on screen is real and is happening exactly like it is?

  maybe they should've roped in IR to do BGM. He couldve done the rap bit for mottai boss easily. The world is changing guys... I agree completely that IR was king of music, but ARR is nothing short of it. He is a really good composer, very versatile, brilliant, trend setter. Summa BGM nalla illa, vada nalla illanu solatheenga. Enjoy what u have. As for me, ARR made rajini so powerful in the movie and his BGM when rajini gets kicked out of the house is too good. For those of u that complain, is there any alternative for ARR that couldve excelled in BGM or the songs in current TFM industry?

  ARR did an excellent job, but...
  
  I'm not a big fan of ARR or Yuvan, but Yuvan wud have done some magic in both songs and BGM if he really was extracted from biggies like Sankar! I feel yuvan is not getting any big chances from big directors like Sankar or ManiRatnam ( when i say big, these 2 know their music) and yet he rules to some extent!

  Sivaji songs/BGM illa enna kurai irruku? I dont think yuvan can handle sahara or athiradee or STYLE (defintely not). And people like me would never have taken interest in sivaji if it wasnt for ARR. Its not just me, there are millions who watch the movie over and over again for music. I found out about this thread because ARR was associated with Sivaji and I my interest grew exponentially. Even with anniyan (shankar) or chandramukhi (rajini) combined didnt create a hype like this for me. Its because of one man: ARR. Infact i am planning to watch it again for BGM and one more time for songs.
  
  When bollywood/hollywood is treating ARR like God, tamil people treat him like trash. Not many but a few and that hurts. He deserves to be associated with tamil movies like Sivaji. These are the only kind of tamil movies that are worth his time. And he didnt just get Sivaji like that! He earned the credit to be part of this huge cast/crew.
  
  Give him some respect guys, dont say stuff like o yuvan wouldve done better, etc. If yuvan was in sivaji, the hype would only be 75% and they cant say the best in tamil is associating for the first time. Yuvan is not the best and its a proven fact. Hope you understand...

  plz, tonson aagatheenga! Paavam pa andha chinna paiyan yuvan! avarukku oru chance kuduthirukallam, periya thalaiga yaarum avarukku chance kudukkarithilae! ok, leave it! even if he had bagged Sivaji and suppose done outstanding job, evryone will complain like , he's not as good as ARR!
  
  IMHO,
  I was wondering whether ARR really had enough time to concentrate on Sivaji amidst very busy schedule and wat if Yuvan had done this project! Yuvan working on this for 18 months or so, he is sure to deliver a monster hit!

  talent iruntha epadiyum veliya varum, whether it is for Shankar or perarasu. ARR didnt compose music for just Shankars or Mani Ratnams. He composed for very small directors, new comers and delivered huge hits. A director can only do so much. If Shankar ropes me in as the music director, they can only get out the chromatic scale. Thats why they didnt! Similar situation. But i unno, my next fav MD is yuvan, I like him because of his originality, unlike HJ. Yuvan is a very good MD, but there is only MD that can mesmerize my heart. Lets leave this topic, and get back to SIVAJI. coooool

Paavam pa andha chinna paiyan yuvan! avarukku oru chance kuduthirukallam, periya thalaiga yaarum avarukku chance kudukkarithilae! ok, leave it! even if he had bagged Sivaji and suppose done outstanding job, evryone will complain like , he's not as good as ARR! IMHO, I was wondering whether ARR really had enough time to concentrate on Sivaji amidst very busy schedule and wat if Yuvan had done this project! Yuvan working on this for 18 months or so, he is sure to deliver a monster hit!

Let's put a lesser actor in with Sivaji story line and Shankar's direction. It won't be this big. Shankar gets credit, but without Rajini this is a recycle of a recycle of a recyle of Shankar movie. Rajini gave it a surrealistically magical quality. Shankar wudnt have opted for the same story if the hero was different. Shankar did opt for same story with different hero. Look at Anniyan. Only thing is it didn't have that magic.

  
  
  Jeez!!! "groucho" is Shivaji, Rajni fan!
  
  But I must agree with Ajith-Alwar, Shankar does get lots of credit! He brought a lot of rajni-dislikers to start liking and watching shivaji. That is the main reason for shivaji's overseas success, I believe!

  Vadivelu -on his presence in Sivaji
  
  By Behindwoods News Bureau.
  
  June 22, 2007
  
  Those who have already watched Sivaji will understand this better. You might recall a few scenes from the movie where the Superstar makes a very sweet charming imitation of the comic dialogue made famous by Vadivelu in the movie Thalainagaram – ‘Enna Vachu onnum comedy- kimedy pannaliye’.
  
  
  
  This drew a lot of applause from the audience in the theaters as it evoked memories of one of the funniest scenes of the past year; also Rajni was at his best in comic timing in these scenes.
  
  However it was not only Rajni who did a Vadivelu in the movie. Shriya too joined in with her own version of the Vadivelu patented ‘Vandhuttangayya, Vandhuttangayya….’. She too managed to carry it off quite well and this scene may get her noticed for her not too bad sense of timing when it comes to comic scenes.
  
  The interesting part in the whole episode is of course what Vadivelu felt about his styles being part of the ‘Style Mannan’s’ movie. Well, he appeared gratified to say the least. Coming out after watching the movie he was quick to say that it was a great honor for him when the biggest Superstar of the industry considered his mannerisms and dialogues worthy to be included in the movie. He also said that he would meet Rajni and thank him personally at the earliest.
  
  The scenes in Sivaji were a perfect example of how enthusiastic Rajni is about his movies, how willing he is to try out new things rather than sticking to tried and tested things. The Superstar’s humility and trust for his director shine through in these scenes. Such an attitude even after reaching the pinnacle of success says a lot about the person that Rajnikanth is. What a man!

  Sivaji takes Sri Lanka by storm
  
  Colombo, June 22, 2007
  First Published: 14:04 IST(22/6/2007)
  Last Updated: 18:37 IST(22/6/2007)
  
  
  The Rajnikanth mania has gripped Sri Lanka too. His blockbuster Sivaji:The boss is on show 41 times a day in seven theatres across the island, with all shows running to full houses, Hindustan Times learns.
  
  "People forget the war and queue up for tickets at the Monohara theatre. It's booked for a week now," said K Nathan, a resident of Jaffna, in north Sri Lanka. The film transports the viewer to a world of fantasy, a far cry from the grim reality of Jaffna where disappearances and killings carried out with impunity by unidentified warlords are the order of the day.
  
  The film is running to full houses in Trincomalee in the East and also in the plantation areas in Central Sri Lanka, which is home to lakhs of Tamil labourers of Indian origin.
  
  "It's house fill. No tickets for another week," said the manager of Midland cinema in Nawalapitya in Central Sri Lanka, when asked if tickets were available.
  
  Colombo, of course, is seeing the biggest draw, because 40% of its population is Tamil-speaking, and it has four theatres showing the film four times a day, simultaneously. The Cine City multiplex in downtown Maradana has 20 shows a day.
  
  "Except for the 10.30 am show on weekdays, all the other three shows are booked for the next two weeks," an official of Concorde theatre in south Colombo said.
  
  Serpentine queues form outside the theatres hours before a show. "Disappointed fans who fail to get tickets extensively damage the cut outs and the police barricades. Police were sometimes compelled to baton charge the unruly fans," The Island daily said in a front page story with a picture on June 19.
  
  The demand is so high that the Cine City management has raised ticket prices to LKR.250 and 300, reports Virakesari a Tamil daily with the largest circulation in the island.
  
  "There is such an anxiety about getting a seat that crowds rush into the hall even before patrons of the previous show had filed out. All seats get refilled even before the end of a show!" the paper reports.
  
  "I am eager to see the film, but it will be a month before I can hope to get a ticket," said Tamil film buff, Minna Ahmad.
  
  "It can't get bigger than this - Rajnikanth, the superstar and style king, and Shankar the showman of Tamil cinema, are 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 deliciously good to savour," says Daily Mirror in its review.
  
  "The comedy in the first half is rollicking. Go for it - its entertainment guaranteed," the reviewer urges.
  
  Detractors
  But Rajni and his film have their detractors too. The Sri Lankan Tamil website www.tamilnatham.com has posted an appeal to Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils to boycott Sivaji on the grounds that Rajnikanth, a "Kannadiga" and a "Kannada fanatic", has been fooling the Tamils for many years.
  
  While mesmerising the Tamil masses with his glamorous films, and earning crores in the process, he has consistently supported Karnataka in all its disputes with Tamil Nadu, the website charges.
  
  If the Tamils of Tamil Nadu are turning a blind eye to the plight of the Tamils of Sri Lanka, it is because their attention has been diverted by people like Rajnikath, it says.
  
  Sri Lankan Tamil ultras often say that the Tamil film industry will totter if the Sri Lankan Diaspora, angry with the industry for not projecting their grievances, boycott Tamil films. Much of the industry's earnings come from the overseas markets, they claim.

  Here is some info that would please Rajni fans, and by extension ARR fans (since ARR badly needs a blockbuster to up his commercial stock considerably). Recently a person I know well, who went to India (Kerala), himself brought the topic of Sivaji without any prompting from my side. He is neither a great Rajni or ARR fan. He was amazed at Sivaji mania in the whole of India and particularly in Kerala. He said even in interior Kerala parts like Vaikom, Kaduthiruthi (places that are about 30 km from Cochin) there were daily three shows of Sivaji and all were houseful during the time he was there (last week and until perhaps Wednesday).
  Wow, my 300th post for Rajni's 100th tamil film!

  2. The hair style during initial scenes were are all reminiscent of SS's earlier years' style
  
  3. Cutie pie Shreya . No jolls , but shes is really beautiful
  
  4. Magnficent ARR . Only ARR can give such a mind blowing music !
  
  5. Superb picturisation , especially the songs
  
  6. Movie gets over in no time. So fast . U dont feel bored at any time .
  
  7. Sensational climax . That mottai SS is real treat for hardcore SS fans !
  
  8. Despite the advancing age, the reflexes are still there !

  The kids wanted to watch the film so much, so decided to take them yesterday. Went to Cathay Cineleisure in The Curve, since they promised better sound system and were playing Sivaji in the THX cinema. The 8.30 show was full and decided to watch the 5.50 show. Seats available were only in front and so opted for the back row (only available) couple seats at 1 buck extra per seat.
  Children will be charged same price the lady announced and for the first time in my life I paid 14 bucks per ticket!
  
  Bayarea is right: The 2nd time viewing was better. Maybe because of less expectations.
  
  Sivaji's mega opening is due to the Rajini-Shankar-ARR factor. There is no doubt in it. Whether the film can sustain or not will depend on what the audience perceive as content.
  
  Chandramukhi ran because of word-of-mouth, literally the content. I really enjoyed that movie, but its opening was nothing compared to Sivaji. So, without doubt Sivaji's mega opening is due the combo of Rajini and Shankar and to a lesser extent, ARR. Certainly, I would not have gone for the film if not for Shankar.
  
  As for ARR and his music, I don't think any other MD could have done better than this for Sivaji. His BGM was adequate enough and in fact there ismarked improvement since the earlier days. I especially like the way he subdues BGM during crucial moments, like when the jeep crashes through King Kong's mouth. A lesser MD would have brought down the house with his music in that kind of situations.
  
  Overall, Sivaji is enjoyable, though I still think of it as a Rajini film and not a Shankar film. However, Shankar must be given credit for bringing out the various spectrums of Rajini in justone movie. If only he had thought of a different story.
  
  On the way out, I found out that the midnight show was full and that they had opened another hall for new bookings.
  
  The question to ask is not whether Sivaji will be a hit, but how big a hit will it be.

  Sivaji now for $ 4.95 on net !
  
  http://entertainment.oneindia.in/tamil/exclusive/shivaji-rajinikanth-230607.html
  
  Superstar Rajini's Shivaji is now available for $ 4.95. This illegal release of the magnum opus has spread shockwaves among the producer and exhibitors of Shivaji all over the world. Though the quality of the internet version is very poor, browsers have been keen in downloading the film in many browsing centers at Bangalore and Chennai.
  
  The film has been released in more than 1000 theaters all over the world on June 15th and is still running to packed houses. In Chennai, no tickets are available for the film till the first week of July. In Abhirami Mega Mall, tickets have been sold out even for the second week of July . In Bengalooru, some fans paid even Rs.1000 per ticket to view the film.
  
  Yet another site also released the full version of Shivaji on the net.
  
  When this correspondent queried about the internet release of Shivaji, the overseas distributor of the film, Karunamoorthy of Ayngaran International said, 'we have not given any right to the above said portals to release Shivaji on the net. I suspect somebody has recorded the film in a theater on his mobile video camera and uploaded it for free on some sites. It is a very common incident abroad, and happened for many big films. But one thing is for sure, a viewer won't be satisfied with the poor picture quality of a blockbuster like Shivaji. Anyway, such things must be avoided at all costs...'

  Sivaji is said to have amassed a mind-boggling Rs. 25 crores in Tamil Nadu alone. This is hands-down a national record, as no movie has collected such a huge amount in a single state. Even the much-hyped and successful Dhoom 2 grossed about Rs. 30-35 crores all over India.
  Sivaji
  Sivaji, which is said to be the most expensive production in the Indian film history, is expected to gain more than Rs. 130 to 140 crores in theatrical release alone across the world. And remember that the amount which we are talking about does not include the black tickets, which if included the amount would reach well over Rs. 200 crores. Sivaji has paved way for other Tamil movies to follow its trait and has also shown the power of marketing, as the movie which got released in Mumbai and Delhi pulled much bigger crowds than the Hindi biggie Jhoom Barabaar Jhoom.
  
  As expected Sivaji is rewriting every collection records thus far and within one week of its release it has been termed a blockbuster. And not just within India, even abroad, the movie has spelt magic, and became the first Tamil movie to feature in the UK top ten. Hearty congratulations and thanks to Rajinikanth, Shankar and AVM for taking Tamil movie to the international scenario.

  Movies > News & Features Saturday June 23, 2007 Rajnikanth is still the boss Rajnikanth proves that he is still the man in the Tamil movie scene. By WANI MUTHIAH THERE is no doubt Tamil blockbuster Sivaji: The Boss sends a message of sorts from Rajnikanth, one of Tamil Nadu’s most successful movie stars. Rajnikanth, 57, whose real name is Shivaji Rao Gaekwad, is regarded as a demigod by the Tamil masses which have long urged him to stand for office. Declining to do so did not stop him from carrying out philanthropic work, such as setting up a trust fund for the poor. His latest project is to build a hospital and a school for the masses in Chennai, and this is reflected in the movie. In The Boss, Rajnikanth is Sivaji, a self-made millionaire who returns home from the United States to set up a medical college and hospital for the public. However, this charitable endeavour is frowned upon by powerful businessman Adiseshan (Suman), owner of a private hospital and medical college. He plots Sivaji’s downfall and succeeds. Sivaji becomes penniless but manages to bounce back and exact revenge on the crooked businessman as well as tackle corruption in the public delivery system. The movie is filled with social messages, hinting perhaps at the influence Rajnikanth wields, even though he is not actively involved in the Tamil Nadu political scene. (In 2004, Rajnikanth supported the BJP-AIADMK alliance but the alliance still fared miserably in the polls.) Sivaji: The Boss costs RM5.83mil to make and is the most expensive Indian movie to date. Rajnikanth also made history with the RM1.36mil pay cheque he took home, which makes him the highest paid actor in Indian cinema. Despite a tried-and-tested story, The Boss has set the box office ablaze. There are several reasons for this. One is that Rajnikanth’s character is an amalgamation of several characters from his past hits. The elaborate set, as well as the flamboyant song-and-dance sequences and a cast of top-notch actors, have also contributed to its commercial success. Leading lady Shriya Saran may be young enough to be his daughter (maybe even younger than his eldest daughter Aishwarya) but Rajnikanth pulls off the romantic role well, playing her love interest, and later husband, with conviction. S. Sasumany, 39, who watched the movie on opening day, said The Boss is Rajnikanth’s best movie. “The high cost of the movie has created an enjoyable watch with its cast of superstars as well as beautiful and expensive set for the song-and-dance scenes,” said Sasumany. N. Kumarasingam, 27, and his sister N. Mohanambal Devi, 25, who watched the movie with their mother, said the dance scenes were the best they had seen in Tamil movies. “I was fascinated with the number Balleilakka, as the dancers had various artwork painted on their bodies. The animation work was also superb and not ‘cartoonish’ like in many other Tamil movies, which had tried using 3D animation,” he added. N. Mohanambal, reckoned the soundtrack, composed by A. R. Rahman, contributed to making the movie a big hit. Sivaji: The Boss, which opened simultaneously in 2,500 cinemas worldwide on June 15, is reported to have grossed nearly Rs20mil (RM169, 000) in advance bookings in 17 cinemas in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, alone. It is also believed to have grossed a record US$1.46mil (almost RM5mil) so far in Malaysia.

  joe...
  Review mostly depends on the mood of a person while he watched the movie...
  If he would have been in some pathetic mood, then nothing seems good for him... everything depends on our mindset... for example... if I am a person who doesn believe in god, and if i watch an awesome super good movie on god or whatever great it be, i will not like it for sure... every good thing and every impressive scene they keep in there will turn out to be a stale scene for me... thats all human nature...
  
  but if there is one movie, which makes a guy who entered the theatre in a sad mood and after this entertainment, if he leaves the hall with a smile in his face, thats what counts... thats all we can judge it as...
  
  what say?

  Bro, I am agnostic, but I absoloutely adore the Bakhti films made by APN and NT. I love Sri Ragavendra, and I have fondness for Baba, the one film hated by even some Rajini fans.
  
  So, I gotta disagree with you on that. Despite being agnostic, I find a film called Puratchikkaran (forgot the directors name) totally crappy. So, your politics or ideology should not play a part if you are a reasonable movie audience. I try to be reasonable.
  
  When you see a package, you should know what to expect and if you bought it, might as well enjoy it.

  My friend watched Sivaji in Eshwari theatre on Saturday. Housefull. He says there was a lot of family audience and Kids totally enjoyed the first half.
  
  Rs30 ticket being sold for Rs100. Is that good or bad? I'm not condoning black tickets but rates have fallen from 1000 per ticket to 100... then again, Eshwari is not a multiplex or anything but people are willing to pay premium rates to watch our thalaivar so the going is good.

  its purely supply / demand imbalance.
  even though sivaji is released in more theatres, the demand being even greater, the tickets are sold in black.

  what i mean is, eventhough its released in more number of theatres... not all those theatres are upto the standard to watch a technically good movie...
  maybe the sound effects or the seating convenience is not better in some theatres...
  so people are ready to buy tickets for more cost in the theatres which gives the expected facilities...

  A Must read article
  
  The Big B fatigue
  
  
  http://www.dailypioneer.com/columnist1.asp?main_variable=Columnist&file_name=malik%2Fmalik179.txt&writer=malik
  
  
  
  Let us confess it. Most viewers are tired of the Bachchan worship which has been going on TV for some time now.
  The endless visits to temples, where they hold up ordinary worshippers. The lack lustre visit of the newly weds to Cannes, with Abhishek mustering a weak smile beside his preening wife. And, of course only the farm land scams adding an occasional note of dissent.
  
  
  
  Then along comes a genuine block-buster in the form of the release of Rajnikant's Shivaji. And slowly the Hindi-cinema obsessed media wakes up to the fact that there are other horizons, other stars, other languages. And to the amazement of many, the statistics start pouring in. And they start sitting up, because they, in the end, make Amitabh sound like Small B, while Rajnikant runs away with the figures.
  
  Then the scale on which Shivaji has been released boggles the imagination. It is the most expensive Indian film ever made. Make-up artists and hair stylists were flown in from France and Rajnikant has no less than seven different hair styles in the film. One of the women in the film has convincing blonde hair.
  
  But surpassing all these gimmicks is the star's energy on the screen. For a man in his sixties, he leaps and bounds with zest and takes on a much younger heroine with aplomb. Yet, when he visited Tirupati it was with much less fuss than the Bachchans. And he did not cover his bald pate or put on VIP airs. He remains the common man as far as possible in public.
  
  
  I'm sure there is no one who can disagree with her views on Rajini.
  Except the vayatherichal parties, of course!

  Honestly, it is not right to compare Rajni with Amitabh as Shivaji is being a film which is unique for Rajni.
  
  And I noticed Amitabh's movies are coming out very often unlike Rajnis.
  
  So, it is not correct to compare Amitabh and Rajni in htis way!

  SIVAJI REVIEW!!
  
  Immensely entertaining!
  
  Since many people have already seen and reviewed, here are just a few highlights about the film.
  
  First of all, Rajini was AMAZING! His everlasting style, impeccable comic timing, and extreme hard work made him shine in this film. As far as his looks, I didn't like him in the songs and in the scenes where he gained weight and was trying to woo Shreya. But in the jail scenes and the scene as the mottai boss, he rocked! I thought he looked awesome as a bald, sort "Matrix" inspired fighter. His electrifying presence really carries the film.
  
  Vivek: Second hero of this film. His jokes aren't really original, more cheap jokes, but the way he presented them and manages to triumph in the presence of THE SUPERSTAR deserves mention. This proves that comedy not heroism is his forte and that he should come back.
  
  Shreya does not really have much to do (except towards the end), but she looks SIMPLY STUNNING throughout the film. She's cute, glamorous, and stands up to the Superstar very well.
  
  All other characters were good. Villian guy was ok, wasn't menacing enough. I loved Raghuvaran in this film. Actually I like him in any film, but his cameo here was dignified and added well to the proceedings. I hope we see him in more films after this.
  
  All songs and picturization were beautiful and must be seem on silver screen to enjoy that full impact! Nayanthara was energetic in her song! Some settings were JUST MAGIC on screen. Especially loved the incorporation of old tunes and times. Rajini also dances to Vijay and Vikram songs.
  
  There are some minuses that are drowned out by Rajini's sheer brillance as SIVAJI. The story is very ordinary barring the interesting concepts of NRIs and new technology in today's world.
  Some fight scenes were really dragged and utterly unbelievable, and were added just to make Rajini seem like a supernatural being but there are people who accept it, so w/e. It was amusing. The movie was very long, but hey at least Sivaji was there is every frame.
  
  ANYWAY...DEFINITELY A MUST SEE ONCE ON SILVER SCREEN! COOL!!

  The boss is enjoying unbelievably amazing collections all over the world. This weekend was jam-packed in most TN centers. Pune, delhi, bombay you name it, sivaji is breaking records everywhere. This is the first time a thamizh movie is enjoying this amount of success outside TN
  
  And in weekdays in many centers the theaters are never filled. Thats solely because of the number of theaters its been released. So I guess its safe to conclude that the BOSS is indeed a blockbuster

  Quote:

  I watched Sivaji on the first day. a 2:30 show at Satyam. This was the first time I caught a Rajnikanth Movie on the First day with all the hype and hoopla. And I screamed myself hoarse whenever, well, everyone also screamed along. I completely adored the movie and loved the whole experience of a first day. I am not the reviewing kind. I have no idea how to do that. But there are people who do, and how! If you want to read a review about Thalaivar's movie, it is at Sudhish's. And I will probably catch the movie a few more times as well .... And I know the whole velocity of the euphoria that a Superstar movie creates. Whoah. Still to recover. Or Probably I wont...

  அண்ணன் ரஜினி, ஒரு நல்ல மனிதர். அவரும், அவர் குடும்பமும் நல்லா இருக்கணும்னு ஆண்டவனை வேண்டுகிறேன். அவருக்காக, `சிவாஜி' என்ற டைட்டிலை நாங்கள் கொடுத்தோம். அதோடு அடுத்த பட்டம் எடுக்கவும் தயாராக இருக்கிறோம்.''

  அதைத்தொடர்ந்து கமலஹாசன் பேசியதாவது:-
  
  ``என் நண்பர், போட்டியாளர், அறிவுரையாளர், ரசிகர், விமர்சகர் ரஜினி. நாங்கள் இருவரும் அழகான நண்பர்கள். இந்த நட்பு, பாலசந்தர் என்ற விருட்சத்தின் நிழல். எங்கள் நட்பை பார்த்து யாரும் ஆச்சரியப்பட வேண்டியதில்லை. நாங்கள் வளர்ந்த விதம் அப்படி.
  
  இரண்டு பேரும் சேர்ந்து நடிப்பதில்லை என்பது, இருவரும் சேர்ந்து, யோசித்து எடுத்த முடிவு. கோபம் காரணமாக எடுத்த முடிவு அல்ல. நல்ல யுக்தி. திட்டமிட்டு எடுத்த முடிவு.
  
  ரஜினிக்கும், எனக்கும் உள்ள அற்புதமான நட்பு, பாதுகாப்பான தூரமும், சவுகரியமான நெருக்கமும் கொண்டது. அதிர்ஷ்டத்தால் வந்த நட்பு அல்ல.
  
  முன்னோடி
  
  கலைஞருக்கும், நடிகர் திலகத்துக்கும் அரசியல் கருத்து வேறுபாடுகள் இருந்தாலும், நல்ல நண்பர்களாக இருந்தார்கள். அதுபோல்தான் நானும், ரஜினியும். எங்களுக்கு வழிகாட்டியாக இருந்த முன்னோடிகள் கலைஞரும், நடிகர் திலகமும். என் தம்பி பிரபு, இந்த படத்தின் மூலம் தயாரிப்பாளர் ஆனதில் எனக்கு பெருமை.
  
  நான், நடிகர் திலகத்தின் ரசிகன். அந்த வீட்டில் நான் பிறந்திருந்தால், சினிமாவுக்கு வந்திருக்க மாட்டேன். அந்த வீட்டில் பிறந்த பிரபுவிடம் இருக்கும் பணிவும், அடக்கமும் என்னை ஆச்சரியப்படுத்தி இருக்கிறது.
  
  இது, நிஜமாகவே ஒரு சரித்திர விழா. ரஜினிக்கு இன்னும் இதுமாதிரி வெற்றிகள் வரும். நடுவில், இது போதும். இதோடு நிறுத்திக்கொள்ளலாம் என்று அவர் சொல்வார். நான் கூடாது என்பேன். ரஜினி, சினிமாவை விட்டு போகக்கூடாது. அவர் சினிமாவில் இன்னும் ரொம்ப நாட்கள் இருக்க வேண்டும்.
  
  எங்களைப் பொருத்தவரையில் நாங்கள் இன்னும் குழந்தைகள்தான். நாங்கள் விளையாடுவதைப் பார்த்து சந்தோஷப்படுபவர், பாலசந்தர்.''
  
  இவ்வாறு கமலஹாசன் பேசினார்.

  Sivaji collects $ 5.5 lakhs in UK
  
  By Behindwoods News Bureau.
  
  June 26, 2007
  
  Super star’s Sivaji has lived up to the hype that was created and the nation is riding on its wave. As per the latest reports the film is doing very well in most places and is creating records all over. In the domestic sector, it is establishing itself as the numero uno. In Kolkata, for the first time in the history of Tamil cinema, Sivaji has been released in four theatres in the Bengali city.
  
  As regards the overseas segment, cash registers are ringing in the United States but the official numbers are yet to be received. In South Africa the film is releasing this week. For the audiences of this nation, Rajini is already a household and a favorite name with the tremendous victory of Chandramukhi some time back. In Malaysia Sivaji is in the second week and is in second position next only to Fantastic Four. In Japan where he has a huge fan base, the film will hit the theatres this week and is expected to do well going by the past history of his films here. In the United Kingdom the film is in the 12th position and has grossed around US$ 5.5 Lacs.

  சிவாஜி The BOSS - Coooooooooooool !
  
  
  
  நானெல்லாம் இன்னும் பாபா, சந்திரமுகி பார்க்காத அளவுக்கு ரஜினியின் அதிதீவிர ரசிகன்! அதுபோக நான் ஏன் ரஜினி படங்களை ரசிக்கறேன்னும் ஏற்கனவே கொசுவத்தி சுத்தியிருக்கறேன். அதனால இந்த பதிவை இவனும் மண்சோறு திங்கற கும்பல்ல இருப்பானோங்கற சந்தேகக் கண்ணோட பார்க்காம இதுவும் இன்னொரு சாதாரண ரசிகக் கண்மணியோடதே அப்படின்னாச்சும் நினைச்சுக்கிட்டு சும்மா ஜாலியா படிங்க!
  
  படம் சும்மா சொல்லக் கூடாதுங்க! அடி! அதிரடி!!
  
  கொஞ்ச நாளைக்கு முன்னாடி நம்ம ரெண்டாம் வரிசை நாயகர்கள் எல்லாம் சூப்பர்ஸ்டார் நாற்காலிக்கு அடிச்சுக்கிட்டது நினைவுல இருக்குங்களா?! அவங்களுக்கு எல்லாம் இந்த படத்தின் மூலம் சொல்லப்பட்டிருக்கும் அழுத்தமான சேதி என்னன்னா... இன்னும் அடுத்த 10 வருசங்களுக்கு சூப்பர்ஸ்டாராக கனவுலகூட நெனைக்காதீங்கப்பேய்! அஞ்சுக்கப்பறம் ஆறு! சிவாஜிக்கப்பறம் யாரு?! உண்மைதானுங்...
  
  ரஜினி மொத சீன்ல "மக்களுக்கு நல்லது செஞ்சேன்!"ங்கறதால ஜெயிலுக்கு உள்ளே வந்தேங்கறதுல இருந்து கடைசிசீன்ல மொட்டைத்தலைல தபேலா வாசிக்கறது வரைக்கும் நான்ஸ்டாப் அசத்தலுங்க. மனுசன் மனசை சும்மா அள்ளிக்கிட்டு போறாரு! அந்த துறுதுறு நடையும் சுறுசுறு டயலாக் டெலிவரியும் இருக்கறவரைக்கும் யாரும் அடிச்சுக்கவே முடியாது போல. நினைச்சுப்பாருங்க! 3 மணிநேர படத்தை கொஞ்சமும் சலிப்படையாம உட்கார்ந்து பார்க்க வைக்கனும்னா அது சாதனைதான்!
  
  ரஜினியிடன் இன்னமும் இளமை இருக்குங்க! அட்டகாசமா லவ்வறாரு! அருமையான ரஜினி ட்ரெண்டு டான்ஸ்சு ஆடறாரு! பைட்டுல சும்மா பறந்து பறந்து அடிக்கறாரு! ஜாலியா அசால்டா காமெடி பண்ணாறாரு! இதைவிட வேற என்ன வேணும்? ஆனா குரல்ல மட்டும் கொஞ்சம் வயசு தெரியுது! விடுங்க... அடுத்த படத்துல அதையும் சரி செஞ்சிடுவாரு!
  
  படத்துல ரஜினிக்கு ஜோடி ஸ்ரேயாவா விவேக்கான்னே சந்தேகம் வந்துருது. பாட்டுங்க தவிர மத்த அத்தனை சீன்லயும் கூடவே ஒட்டிக்கிட்டு வர்றாரு. ஆனா சிரிக்கத்தான் முடியலை. விவேக் பீரியடு முடிஞ்சிருச்சா?! பட்டிமன்றம் ராஜா, பாப்பையா அய்யா கூட நல்லா காமெடி செஞ்சிருக்காங்க. இவ்வளவு ஏன்? பல இடங்களில் ரஜினியே தூள் கெளப்பியிருக்காரு. ஆனா விவேக்கு இன்னமும் ட்ரேட்மார்க் பாடிலேங்வேஜ், வசனங்கன்னு ஓவர் டார்ச்சரு. சின்னக்கலைவாணரே... சீக்கிரம் டிராக்கை மாத்துங்க! இதுவரைக்கும் வந்ததுல ரஜினி-கவுண்டரு காம்பினேஷன் தான் டாப்புங்கறது என் எண்ணம். ரஜினிக்கு மட்டுமல்ல... சத்தியராஜ், விஜய், கார்த்திக்னு பலபேருக்கு கவுண்டருதான் அல்டிமேட் காம்பினேஷன்!
  
  ஸ்ரேயா, அம்சமா இருக்காங்க. அழகா இருக்காங்க. அழுகிற காட்சிகளில் கூட அழாம நடிச்சிருக்காங்க. இதுபோக பல இடங்களில் அவர்களது உடுக்கை இடுப்பு மிகப்பிரமாதமாக நடித்திருந்ததையும் குறிப்பிட்டே ஆகவேண்டும்! ஹிஹி. அம்மணி, இனிமேல் கொஞ்சம் சூதனமா இருந்து அடுத்து இளவட்டப்பயலுகளோட சோடி போட்டு நடிங்க. இல்லாம அடுத்ததா சரத்குமாரு, விஜயகாந்துன்னு முன்னனி ஹீரோக்களோட மட்டும்தான் நடிப்பேன்னு ஏதாவது மார்க்கெட்டு வேல்யூ காட்டனீங்கன்னா, அப்பறம் அடுத்த "மீனா"வாக ஆகறதுக்கு பிரகாசமான வாய்ப்புகள் அதிகம்!
  
  பாப்பையா பொண்ணுங்க அங்கவையும் சங்கவையும் என்ன மாதிரியான காமெடியோ? சங்கருக்கும் சுஜாதாவுக்குமே வெளிச்சம்! மெயின் வில்லன் சுமனுக்கு நல்ல தமிழ்த் திரையுலகில் நல்ல எதிர்காலம் இருக்கிறது. சீக்கிரமே "காதல்" தண்டபாணியின் இடத்தை பிடிப்பார்! அவ்வளவு திறமை காட்டியிருக்கிறார்! சிறிது காலத்துக்கு முன் "அகில இந்திய ரசிகர் மன்றம்" கண்ட மெட்டிஒலி போஸ் வெங்கட் சுமனுக்கு அடியாளாக வருகிறார். அவ்வளவு வளர்ச்சி! அதேபோல, சைடு வில்லன் மாயாண்டி பேய்க்காமனின் திரைத்துறை வளர்ச்சி அவரது இடுப்பளவில் தெரிகிறது!
  
  ரஜினிக்கு காமெடிங்கறது வெகு இயல்பா வருங்கறது பல இடங்களில் பளிச்! பேர்&லவ்லி போட்டுக்கிட்டு "நான் கமலஹாசன் மாதிரி ஆயிருவேன்"கறதும், "மாமா! என்ன வைச்சு காமெடி கீமெடி பண்ணலியே"ங்கறதும், ஸ்ரேயா வீட்டுக்காரங்க கூட "பழகிப் பழகி" வெளையாடறதும், வேண்டாங்க... விளக்க முடியாது. நீங்களே பார்த்து ரசிங்க! கமல் ரஜினி மாதிரி டான்ஸ் ஆடறது நடக்குதோ இல்லையோ ரஜினி கமல் மாதிரி ஆடறது நடந்திருச்சு! கூடவே கொசுறா சிவாஜி, எம்ஜியாரு டான்சும்!!! சென்னைல விசில் பறந்திருக்கும். இங்க நான் மட்டும் சிரிச்சுக்கிட்டேன்!
  
  ரஹ்மான் பாட்டெல்லாம் மொதல்ல கேக்கறப்ப அவ்வளவா பிடிபடாது. ஆனா படத்தோட பார்க்கறப்ப ஒரு தூக்கு தூக்கிறும். ரஜினிக்கு கேக்கனுமா?! சன்லைட் பாட்டுலயும் அதிரடி பாட்டுலயும் சும்மா வெளுத்து வாங்கிட்டாய்ங்க! ஆனாலும் சங்கர் இந்த செட்டு போடறதையும் கிராபிக்ஸு வைக்கறதையும் என்னைக்குத்தான் நிறுத்தப் போறாரோ?! பல இடங்களில் அபத்தமா பல்லை இளிக்குது! இம்மாம் பெரிய டைரக்டருக்கு பாடல் காட்சிகளில் மட்டும் பயங்கறமா கற்பனை வறட்சி. மொத பாட்டுக்கு தொப்பைல ரஜினிபடம் வரைஞ்சுக்கிட்டு 50 பேரு ஆடறாங்க... சகிக்கலை! ( ஆனா அதே பாட்டுல நயன்தாரா... ஹிஹி... )
  
  படத்துல எனக்கு பிடிக்காத ஒரே விசயம் அந்த பிரமாண்டம் தாங்க! வீட்டுல வடை சுட்டாலும் 50 ஐய்ட்டம் போடறாங்க. சண்டை போட்டலும் 100 கிட்டாரை ஒடைக்கறாங்க. பல இடங்களில் காசை வீணாக்கறது தெரியனும்னே வீணாக்கியிருக்காங்க. AVM சரவணன் சங்கரோட இந்த இம்சையை வழக்கம்போல கையைக் கட்டிக்கிட்டு வேடிக்கை பார்த்திருப்பாரு போல! நல்ல பாட்டுக்கு திராபையா ஒரு கண்ணாடி மாளிகை கட்டி அதுல நடனநங்கைகளுக்கு இறக்கைக மாட்டி விசிறிக்க வைக்கறாங்க. ரஜினிங்கற பிரமாண்டத்துக்கு முன்னாடி இதெல்லாம் பல இடங்களில் எடுபடவே இல்லை. "காதலின் தீபம் ஒன்று.." அப்படின்னு சிம்ப்பிளா அருமையா அழகா பாடி மக்க மனசுல இடம்பிடிச்சவருக்கு டூயட் பாட்டுக்கு 2 கோடி ரூபாய் கண்ணாடி செட்டுங்க அப்படிங்கறது எல்லாம் சந்தனக்கட்டைமேல பாடிஸ்பிரே அடிச்சா மாதிரி! ( படத்துல ரஜினி ஓட்டற கறுப்பு டொயொட்டா 4X4 சங்கரோடதாம். ஆனா கார் சேஸ் பைட்டு சீன்ல மட்டும் அதை வெவரமா கறுப்பு ஸ்கார்பியோவா மாத்திட்டாரு! இந்த வெவரம் ப்ரொடியூசரு காசை கரைக்கதுலயும் இருக்கனும்ல?! )
  
  சங்கரு அடுத்த படத்துக்கு எப்படியும் 3 மாசத்துக்கு ரூம்போட்டு யோசிக்கனும். சமுதாய அவலங்களை தேடிக் கண்டுபுடிச்சு அதை கோடிகோடியா மார்க்கெட்டு பண்ணறதுன்னா சும்மாவா?! இதே ரேஞ்சுல போனா அடுத்தது சினிமாவால சீரழியற தமிழகத்தை ஹீரோ எப்படி பிரம்மாண்டமாய் போராடி காப்பாத்தறாருங்க சொ.செ.சூல போய் முடியக்கூடும்!
  
  இவ்வளவு சொன்னயே? கதைய சொல்லலியேன்னா கேக்கறீங்க? போங்க சார்... சும்மா தமாசு பண்ணாதீங்க! லட்டு சாப்பிடறப்ப முந்திரிப்பருப்பு கிடைக்கலைனாலும் இனிக்காமயா போயிரும்?
  
  அதனால,
  
  ரஜினி ஒரு கன்னடர்... வட்டாள் நாகராஜோட கூட்டாளி... அவர் படங்களை புறக்கணிப்போம் என்பவர்களும்...
  
  60 வயசு தாத்தாக்கு 20 வயசு ஹீரோயினா என வெள்ளித்திரையில் பெண்ணீயம் தேடியபடி உள்குத்து பதிவுகள் போடுபவர்களும்...
  
  கட்டவுட்டுக்கு பால் ஊத்தற ரசிகர்களை கரித்துக்கொட்டும் சமுதாய அக்கறை கொண்ட சிந்தனையாளர்களும்...
  
  ரஜினி எப்படி தமிழக பொருளாதாரத்தை அடியோடு சுரண்டி அதை அப்படியே கர்நாடகாவுக்கு கொண்டுபோய் அங்கே சொர்க்கபூமியாக மாற்றியிருக்கிறார் என வருத்தப்படும் பிராந்திய பொருளாதார நிபுணர்களும்...
  
  இவரெல்லாம் என்னாத்த நடிக்கறாரு.. சும்மா பன்ச்சு டயலாக்கெல்லாம் ஒரு நடிப்பா.. இந்தாளுக்கு எதுக்கு இத்தனை சம்பளம்.. எதுக்கு இவருபின்னாடி இத்தனை ரசிகருக்கு என வருத்தப்படும் தமிழ்க்கலையுலகம் காக்கவந்த கலைத்தாயின் மூத்த புதல்வர்களும்...
  
  ரசிகர்களின் உணர்வுகளை தூண்டிவிட்டு அதில் அரசியல் ஆசைகளை தூவி குளிர்காய்கிறார் என்று வருங்கால தமிழகத்தின் அரசியலை வழிநடத்தும் கவலைகளோடு இருப்பவர்களும்...
  
  மேற்சொன்ன எல்லாத்தையும் ஒரு 3 மணிநேரம் ஒதுக்கி ஓரமா வைச்சுட்டு சும்மா ஜாலியா குடும்பத்தோட சிவாஜிக்கு போயிட்டு வாங்க மக்கா! எண்டெர்டெயின்மெண்ட்டு 110% கேரண்டி!!!
  
  அதெல்லாம் முடியாது.. நாங்க கொள்கையில் இருந்து பின்வாங்கமாட்டோம் அப்படின்னு உறுதியா இருந்தாலும்... ஒன்னும் நட்டமில்லை..
  
  Coooooooooool !!!

  This is where you had accepted SIVAJI as a BLOCKBUSTER....
  Either way, whether you accept or not who cares. The world knows what the result is.....
  
  I still don't understand for how long you are going to be like this.

  As all of us know, you are the greatest fan of SS...Just go back to the year 1992 & try to recollect if there was a SS movie released during June (which was not any festival or vacation time) and tell me how that movie did here.... I very well know, what your answer would be. But let me wait for your response....

  I don't see a single word in this post which indicates he accepts Sivaji is a BB.
  
  If you are referring to the phrase "This is history", he refers to his previous statement - merkooriyavai sarithiram and NOT in the sense in which i suspect you have understood - "This(Sivaji) is history". Infact, he hasn't even mentioned the word Sivaji. adha quote panni vera kaatreenga

  our thalaivar Rajni has a special market in telugu. his cameo in petharayudu (nattamai remake) made him a superstar in telugu too. in fact, most of the telugu fans are complaining there is not much punch dialog in sivaji. they all are fans of rajni's punch dialogs.

  CR Anne,
  
  If you go back some pages & find out in what context our great RAJARAM (faulty Statistician) said this, you'll probably understand what he meant. He might have thought in his mind whatever, but when you type these type of quotes while the discussion is going on about the BLOCKBUSTER status of SIVAJI then it is automatic to think that he has accepted it as a BLOCKBUSTER (Anyway like I said no one cares what he thinks about the result). I think it is you who have sat for hours to figure out what the actual meaning of our great RAJARAM was............
  
  Now tell me onething. Are you also like our Great RAJARAM who has never accepted the truth about a SS movie?...
  
  I have had no problems in accepting the truth be it any actors' movie. I like KH movies too very much. Just because your favourite actor is someone else, you cannot go about in degrading or dumping the truth even after there is a whole lot of statistics & reports available for everyone to see.........
  
  Again SIVAJI will soon have empty seats (or already it may have) in many theatres atleast during the week (to make people like RAJARAM happy) due to the wide release of the movie. Virtually in chennai most of the quality multiplexes is screening the movie. By now they have amassed the collection worth for a month (or even more). So with the population (cine going) we have it is sure that the movie will slow down. This is where I say again, for SIVAJI it is not the number of days that matters, it will be the number of shows screened & how much it has collected.
  
  We all know this is the biggest success OVERSEAS. I have never seen this much screenings for any other movie (including BOLLYWOOD) in US for the past 10 years atleast............

  The Star wrote:

  Sivaji shows who’s the boss INDIA DIARY By COOMI KAPOOR Though the number of people outside south India who follow Tamil cinema is limited, the Rajni hysteria poured out of newspapers and magazines nationwide. OH, WHAT a hysteria! And over a mere movie? Never before in living memory has any film obsessed so many Indians as has the latest Rajnikanth starrer Sivaji: The Boss. Easily the most expensive movie ever made in India at a cost of about Rs80 crores (RM67.9mil), and starring the country’s highest paid star, who pocketed nearly Rs20 crores (RM16.9mil) as his fees, Sivaji opened to a great build-up mid-June in over 700 theatres across the country. And immediately tens of thousands of Rajni fans, film trade pundits and ordinary cine goers declared in unison that it would be the biggest box-office grosser yet for Tamil cinema. Weeks before the actual release of the movie on June 16, there was palpable excitement in Tamil Nadu and beyond. The print and television media noted how Rajni fans performed pujas, broke coconuts, and poured milk over large-sized wooden cutouts of the actor outside theatres slated to screen the movie. And how the actor himself offered prayers at the historic Tirupathi temple along with the prints of Sivaji, carried on elephant-back in a procession as tens of thousands cheered the Boss, as the actor is popularly called by the fans. Such unparalleled hysteria proved contagious for the mainline English language press, too. Though the number of people outside south India who follow Tamil cinema was expectedly limited, the Rajni mania poured out of newspapers and magazines which minutely noted the former Bangalore bus conductor’s meteoric rise as south India’s greatest actor. Starring in his 100th Tamil film, Rajni tried his luck in Hindi cinema too in the 70s and 80s, though without much success. Overall, he has done about 170 films. But the star, who was born Shivaji Rao Gaekwad to Marathi parents, has emerged due to sheer good fortune, and some talent for gimmicky histrionics, as Tamil cinema’s biggest money-spinning one-man industry. Indeed, nobody in Bollywood, which has a bigger domestic and international market, commands the kind of fees the 57-year-old Rajni does. Neither Amitabh Bachchan, Bollywood’s highest paid actor, nor anyone in the Khan trio of Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman, gets paid over Rs15 crore (RM12.7mil) per film as Rajni does. Bachchan gets up to Rs6 crores (RM5mil) per film. The fees of the Khan trio range between Rs3 crores and Rs5 crores (RM2.5mil and RM4.23mil) per film. But then Bachchan does about half a dozen films every year while Rajni’s average now is about one film every two years. Even in technological inputs, Rajni’s films are often ahead of their Hindi counterparts. Sivaji: The Boss, for instance, was made in Super 35 cinemascope format with the latest processing and scanning skills, and with a very high-pixel resolution. Produced by one of the oldest film companies, AVM Productions, no expense was spared to make the ageing star look much younger than his 57 years. The director of the movie, S. Shankar, had earlier directed Rajni in a hit movie. Both Shankar and the music director of Sivaji, the celebrated A.R. Rehman, are highest paid in their respective lines in Tamil cinema. A French hair stylist was tasked to design Rajni’s hair. A well-known Mumbai fashion designer was hired to design costumes. The dark-skinned hero with a prominent paunch and a bald pate, was made to look like a western youth in Sivaji, thanks to superior technology and clever make-up. A substantial sum was spent devising different wigs for the balding Rajni to don in the movie. Not unlike his earlier hits, the story line of his latest offering too is rather thin. Broadly, the plot runs something like this: Sivaji (Rajni) is a successful IT professional in the United States who returns to India imbued with the ideal of sharing his immense wealth with the poor in his native land. However his attempts to start an IT institute and a hospital with his own money are obstructed by a corrupt system with bureaucrats and policemen seeking bribes at every step. Inevitably, there is a foul villain. But a determined Robin Hood-like hero vanquishes all that comes in his way so that he can lavish his own hard-earned money on the welfare of his compatriots. Though by law the maximum price of a cinema ticket for a Tamil film cannot exceed Rs100 (RM8.49), there were reports galore of tickets selling in the black market at five times the actual price. The fact that both the Chief Minister M. Karnuanidhi and the Opposition leader, J. Jayalalithaa saw the film at separate screenings specially organised for them added to the fanfare around Sivaji. According to trade pundits, Sivaji could end up making Rs150 crores (RM127.4mil) in the first three or four weeks alone. Of a total of 760 prints, 303 were released in Tamil, 300 in Telugu, 145 abroad, including Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and 12 in north India. Distributors are said to have paid about Rs60 crores (RM50.9mil) while overseas rights were sold for Rs18 crores (RM15.2mil) and satellite television rights were sold for Rs4 crores (RM3.39mil). Sivaji is the most expensive film ever made in India, outstripping the highest Bollywood grosser Sholay of the mid-70s. Rajni, his 1.5 million fans organised in over 15,000 fan clubs notwithstanding, is known not as much for his emoting skills as for his gimmicky mannerisms. The front stalls swoon with delight when he spins cigarettes in the air – in deference to the health ministry, chewing gum replaced cigarettes in Sivaji – or performs humanly impossible feats like saving a damsel in distress by flinging a soda bottle which assumes a trajectory of its own to bend the curve before flattening the villain into a wobbly mess. But most Indian films being far away from the bleak reality of everyday humdrum life, it is however Rajni’s oeuvre on celluloid which is pure essay in escapism. You watch his films for thrills. And the star invariably does not let down his fans. Most cleverly, anyone watching Sivaji is given a 45-second peek into his next film, Sultan, The Warrior. A 3-D animation film, it features Rajni playing a mythological hero vanquishing all evil in typical Rajni style. It is the first ever animation film featuring an Indian actor and is set to enhance the filmy persona of Rajni.

  very true, poor Shankar has been sidelined by the Rajini euphoria... he hasnt done a great work with the script, but he has ensured that Rajini the Phenomenon went even more to the top.

  1) Though the example quoted is about this Monday, right from day 1, there have been many cases apart from TN where the theaters were 60% full and that's what you people brushed aside.

  Good. Finally we agree on something
  However, you cann't say any *Indian* movie because the equation changes if you take into consideration the much bigger Hindi market. Let's limit it to regional movies.

  I also specifically said "I'm not concluding anything".
  I just pointed out the film's not doing that well in other centers in TN (TN consittutes around 60% of the revenue pie). Nothing more, nothing less.

  CR,
  Though I agree with almost all your points I just want to say two things here.
  1. First week empty seats, blame it on Rajini fans who bought the show. The theaters showed houseful signs and the distributors didnt lose anything.
  
  2. And in *other* parts of TN, it aint doing that bad either. Just that it is not living upto its expectations.
  
  But overseas, north () collections will overshadow everything and for *this* movie, that might play an important role. Still early days, i say

  as far as i know, the movie was released in a substantial no of theatres and to see 60% full in so many theatres itself is huge. as someone had earlier pointed out, in the case of sivaji, you gotto consider the no of theatres rather no of days coz the screen nos are more.
  
  and about other movies, jus so you know i am a big fan of ur profile pic also... infact wud be trying my level best to go for the FDFS of that movie too here... i jus enjoy watching good movies. i dont come up with stats nor do i believe this 150C things

  again you cannot say the film's not doing good business just because some theatres are not 100% full and its only 60% etc.... lets wait and watch - though i am sure we wud be jus watching how BIG a hit its gonna be... whoever has bought the movie and suffered loss is gonna squeal atleast with the hope that rajini wud reimburse the cost if its a loss... so lets see if we do get such news, then we can conclude that particular area it was a loss

  Last Thursday i saw the movie INOX along with my friends
  
  Due to the rain, we hired an Auto from our office to Cinema. The Auto driver asked us how we had got the tickets and He heard that it was full till 27th of this month. We
  Replied that we called the theatre up on Tuesday evening and they brought the tickets to our office.
  
  After that he asked whether we had paid 500 or 1000. We answered tjat we had paid 120 per ticket plus 25 rupees for delivery Charges. He shocked like anything.
  
  Then we went to the theatre before movie starts. There were 2 seats empty in most of the row. We could easily see this because theatre is very small one and it has 300 to 350 seats. I don’t understand how come they claimed 100% full in weekdays.
  
  
  The above things are classic example of KR Vijaya Syndrome and "ignorance IS BLISS”. You name it and you can get this kind of information about Shivaji.
  
  We were much happy about the Rajnikanth's Introduction. And it was a quite a different one from his other movies also thought that Shankar would surprise us like this in through out the movie.
  
  However, soon the movie proved us wrong. It had such a mediocre scenes, which are similar to lot of Super start’s movies Till the interval the movie was pretty average despite of Rajini & Vivek’s few comedies and beautiful Shreya’s appearance.
  
  
  After seeing Suman as Villain in the movie, I understood why Mohanlal rejected this role. Suman looked as if he acted in “Premiere Dhoties” advertisement.
  
  The Interval was quite interesting and we also thought post interval would be racy and interesting as Rajni said “Singapathai”
  
  But, soon it proved us wrong again and post interval was “Poonal Pathai”. It was about Another Corruption story.
  
  What happened to you Shankar ? Aint you the person who had taken the sensible entertainers like “Gentleman”,’Indian”,’Mudhalvan”.
  
  A Big EXS(Shankar) I. Shankar is missing through out the movie and looked like he was the director of movie to handle logistics things.
  
  Another surprising thing is how AVM accepted to spend so much a money for this mediocre movie, just because it had our Super Star.
  
  By and Large, the movie was good in bits and pieces but not as a whole.
  
  It is not worth for the hype created before its release indeed.
  
  
  Shankar could have done the movie VERY much better than what he did now. He missed the GOLDEN Opportunity.
  
  
  Pluses
  
  Rajnikanth (Because him , I went to see the movie)
  
  Shreya (For her beauty)
  
  ARR (Nice songs even though quite a few audiences treat the songs as a Sub intervals)
  
  -
  
  All the other things.
  
  
  
  The bottom line is the movie would have been a dam squib without Superstar and AVM Spent 60 crores just because to prove the Rajnikanth’s Box office Powers.
  
  
  Last but not least, “Singam Singlea thaan Vandhirukku But Ennum Sirathai eduthu vandhirundha Nalla Irundhirukkum”

  Joe, why do we have to adopt such a negative stance?
  
  Why can't we be happy that a Tamil film is doing well? Why should we take digs at the film, just because its not of our favourites (actor, director, MD, etc.)?
  
  for your kind information, Sivaji the film has indeed created several records. it has received unparalled news and attention in Malaysian TV and media - all unpaid for.
  
  Twice when I watched the movie, there were many families of Malays who came for the shows. My son's Malay teacher told his group of Indian friends that he enjoyed the film though at some sequences, he could not understand why everyone was laughing.
  
  My son's friend saw a few Chinese audience when he went for the film, speaking in loud Chinese.
  
  I feel proud seeing/hearing of all these. And it won't surprise me if indeed there are interests in sub-titling/dubbing in foreign languages. After all we know what happened to Muthu in Japan.

  Why should you assume ? I am one in my review stataed ,irrespective of my personal opinion ,this movie will be super hit for Rajini.
  
  I too expressed happeiness that this movie make north indians realise the BO capacity of Tamil movies ,so that they can understand tamil movies not only better in quality ,but competitive in BO too..
  
  And I am not questioning about Malays ,but only chinese ..malays are already used to Indian movies ,especially Hindi movies ..But chinese...There may be a countable chinese come to any tamil movie due to their Tamil friend's influence.
  
  But saying Due to expectation from Chinese in China,Singapore ,Malaysia ..AVM will release chinese sub titled version targetting Chinese.... make no sense atleast for me ,being known chinese around me.
  
  As as now ,Releasing seperate version with chinese sub title will have no impact ,you can't pull more than 100 chinese people in singapore ,I Think ..That is why I mentioned TOO MUCH

  The Rajnikanth mania has gripped Sri Lanka too. His blockbuster Sivaji:The boss is on show 41 times a day in seven theatres across the island, with all shows running to full houses.
  
  "People forget the war and queue up for tickets at the Monohara theatre. It's booked for a week now," said K Nathan, a resident of Jaffna, in north Sri Lanka. The film transports the viewer to a world of fantasy, a far cry from the grim reality of Jaffna where disappearances and killings carried out with impunity by unidentified warlords are the order of the day.
  
  The film is running to full houses in Trincomalee in the East and also in the plantation areas in Central Sri Lanka, which is home to lakhs of Tamil labourers of Indian origin.
  
  "It's house fill. No tickets for another week," said the manager of Midland cinema in Nawalapitya in Central Sri Lanka, when asked if tickets were available.
  
  Colombo, of course, is seeing the biggest draw, because 40% of its population is Tamil-speaking, and it has four theatres showing the film four times a day, simultaneously. The Cine City multiplex in downtown Maradana has 20 shows a day.
  
  "Except for the 10.30 am show on weekdays, all the other three shows are booked for the next two weeks," an official of Concorde theatre in south Colombo said.
  
  Serpentine queues form outside the theatres hours before a show. "Disappointed fans who fail to get tickets extensively damage the cut outs and the police barricades. Police were sometimes compelled to baton charge the unruly fans," The Island daily said in a front page story with a picture on June 19.
  
  The demand is so high that the Cine City management has raised ticket prices to LKR.250 and 300, reports Virakesari a Tamil daily with the largest circulation in the island.
  
  "There is such an anxiety about getting a seat that crowds rush into the hall even before patrons of the previous show had filed out. All seats get refilled even before the end of a show!" the paper reports.
  
  "I am eager to see the film, but it will be a month before I can hope to get a ticket," said Tamil film buff, Minna Ahmad.
  
  "It can't get bigger than this - Rajnikanth, the superstar and style king, and Shankar the showman of Tamil cinema, are 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 deliciously good to savour," says Daily Mirror in its review.
  
  "The comedy in the first half is rollicking. Go for it - its entertainment guaranteed," the reviewer urges.

  Dear Buddy
  
  I was not in the list. Even my review also , i didn't post anything about Rajnikanth.
  
  My concern is why the media is giving so much false news about the Movie.
  
  Another thing is ,
  Because of Shankar only , Telugu dubbed version got this biggest ppening ever. I dont deny Rajni is one of the Reason. But the Major reason is Shankar. Who has the 100% Success in AP.

  சிவாஜி படத்தின் கதை என்னுடையது என்றும், எனது அனுமதி இல்லாமல் பயன்படுத்தியதால் இந்த படத்திற்கு தடை விதிக்க வேண்டும்' என்றும் சினிமா பிரமுகர் ஒருவர் சென்னை சிட்டி சிவில் கோர்ட்டில் வழக்கு தொடர்ந்துள்ளார்.
  
  சிவாஜி
  
  ஏவி.எம். நிறுவனம் தயாரித்து, ரஜினிகாந்த் நடித்து சமீபத்தில் திரைக்கு வந்த படம் `சிவாஜி'. இந்த படத்தின் கதை என்னுடையது என்று சென்னை தியாகராய நகரை சேர்ந்த சுடலைக்கண்ணு என்பவர் சென்னை சிட்டி சிவில் கோர்ட்டில் வழக்கு தொடர்ந்துள்ளார்.
  
  நான் சினிமா துறையில் பிரபலமாகும் ஆசையில் ஒரு கதையை தயாரித்தேன். இந்த கதையை `சிவாஜி' படத்தை டைரக்டு செய்த ஷங்கரின், மானேஜரிடம் காட்டினேன். இந்த கதையை பார்த்துவிட்டு எனக்கு உதவி இயக்குனர் பதவி தருவதாகவும் தெரிவித்தார்.
  
  ஆனால் அவர் கூறியபடி எனக்கு உதவி இயக்குனர் பதவி தரவில்லை. ஆனால் நான் கொடுத்த கதையை எனது அனுமதி பெறாமலேயே `சிவாஜி' படத்திற்கு பயன்படுத்திவிட்டனர். எனக்கு தந்த வாக்குறுதியை மீறி இதுபோன்ற செயலில் ஈடுபட்டுள்ளனர். ஆகவே, இந்த கதை என்னுடைய கதை என்று அறிவிக்க வேண்டும். அதுவரை இந்த படத்தை திரையிடுவதற்கு கோர்ட்டு தடை விதிக்க வேண்டும்.
  
  இவ்வாறு மனுவில் கூறியிருந்தார்.

  Websites do not necessarily need to be paid to report lies. That's their job.
  For e.g, take a ook at behindwoods and their main articles. They are posting emails sent by readers as articles.
  And usually many websites simply report what other sites/channels have reported without doing any work on their own. If you trace back, there will not be any ultimate source.
  
  For the 100th time, when i (or Alek or anyone for that matter) question some of the hyperboles found in sites, it does not mean we are denying what Sivaji has done in the BO. Why do you assume things which were neither implied nor said?

  Watched Sivaji for the second time at Sathyam yesterday night. 100% occupancy despite of rain. 40% families, 30% individuals, 30% repeat audience which was evident when one-third of the theatre yelled "Koun Hai?" when the Saitji came in to the screen. The crowd really enjoyed the movie, esp the first half. I could witness that this movie is turning out to be one of the biggest blockbuster of all times.
  
  Producers of other biggies, beware. Better release your movies after an year or so. Sivaji's march continues and will continue for a long long time..

  Sound was really good in Sathyam, Ranga. Honestly speaking, this is the best re-recording for any Rajni movie released till date. Watch it in a good theatre like Sathyam or Inox and then u'l have a change of mind. waiting for ur review...

  I am very much here! I jus posted in the welfare of all other actors who r trying to make some box office hits!
  
  Just a gentle warning for the criticisms they r likely to face when it comes to box office when their movie releases! If K.R Vijaya syndrome is the one roaming here, I can relate my paati's proverb here!
  
  It goes something like,
  
  " vaayae koduthu etho onnae punnakikira madiri"!
  
  Suggest you guys to plz criticize on movie's standard rather than the box office collection, bcos u r gonna dig your own grave!
  
  Dont u guys think that SS is the Boss of Box office and its only a week now and still more to expect when the actual figures come out in a month, even though if its not 150C, atleast something near to that!
  
  BTW,
  
  since i am very poor in english, i thought of looking @ dictionary what does 'hate' mean and it says,
  
  intense dislike; to dislike intensely or passionately!
  
  And I can see ppl r doin it passionately to disgrace anything related to Sivaji!
  
  OK, You or me r not gonna stop Sivaji! COOOOOOOOL!

  Adding to that:
  The movie is indeed doing quite well in core of the cities esp chennai and full bangalore ! Reg its performance in the overseas market, no one has denied the reports completely.
  It is also true that the movie witnessed "not-so-great" crowd in several parts of the TN ! IF we say that, it is taken as something against the successes of sivaji in other areas mentioned above and that is !

  the movie was in the top ten of UK movies and one with the highest screen average (but that was in IMDB - avangalum summa gapsaavo )
  US fans and US audience oda varaverpu is quite evident in most of the youtube videos....
  My cousin in dubai says the crowd for the movie had the cops confused as to what is goin on...
  I personally saw the crowd and rush for tickets in singapore.. i was not able to get tickets for last weekend (the movie is running here in 3 screens in that particular theatre mind)
  yes, for publicity the north indian channels have had a huge coverage -- but all this cud so easily have backfired had the movie been a damp squid. instead the whole of India is now taking notice of the HUGE HIT! thts special
  
  Infact i have one doubt on those statistics thing in TN.. correct me if i am wrong, say if the movie was in some 200 screens in TN running 4 shows a day, 7 days with average ticket of 40 rs with average seating capacity of 700 people then it would easily come to some 16 C is it not?! since am not exactly rite on no's is it impossible to get 25?!?! am confused

  NOV,
  when I just wondered about the news "Since Many chinese longing to watch Shivaji with chinese sub title ...blah blah " ,You said why must we make a negative point as if I am talking about the movie itself ,which I don't understand ..Quoting my words ...saying 'We' or 'You' makes no difference ,since both includes me.
  
  I will be happy if China become another fort of Rajini (after Japan ) ,But my point is ..as of now ,It is too much to say considerable chinese even know about the movie .

  guys...
  just wanted to peep in...
  got to see lots of fun u guys having here...
  good work sriranga, CR, and others...
  
  and for such wider release, i don think this movie needs the usual number of days the other movies take, to announce it to be a blockbuster...
  i mean if 5 theatres and 10 days is called a blockbuster... then 10 theatre 5 days is equally a block buster...
  so for this movie as its released in twice the number of theatres... how many days should we count to call it a blockbuster...
  tell us... so that we shall see if it survives up till then...

  No Ranga, This calculation is for big stars. For others, a 35 day run at Sathyam would be claimed as "Average", 50 days as a 'Hit', 75 days as a 'Superhit' and 100 days as a "Blockbuster" and an extended run at Aynavaram Gopikrishna would make it a "Mega- Blockbuster"

  Ajay brother,
  I think the # of days RUN has become obsolete these days. The net collections and the profit made determines the status of the movie these days.
  I am not rejecting the huge success of Sivaji in cities (esp chennai and bangalore) Point here is : on rest of TN ! (Neenga idhayaavathu othukuveengannu nenaikiraen) So, ultimately chennai and other things will get eliminated. btw, Do u believe that Sivaji will run like this in HYD and other areas (abroad) for the next 100 days ?
  So, TN plays a primary role.

  Selva Thambi,
  
  Leave everything else aside. In Chennai, the film enjoys a 100% occupancy rate in Sathyam, Inox, Devi, AVM. As claimed by nerd, 60% in Albert and others. As i am from Ngl, i know the status there. The film is running to packed houses. The same with Nellai, TVM and Tuty. In madhurai alone, due to the election fever, the movie lags behind. No idea abt Sivakasi, Virudhunagar. U can give us an update on that (Preferably a true one coz i know u stand out from the bunch).
  
  The producer is sure to recover the money when a movie is as good as this..Atleast 60% of the population in TN will watch Sivaji for Rajni. So it comes to 4 crores. If at all the average ticket rate is 20 rs., the collection will reach 80 crores. Apart from this comes the FMS.

  sivaji was released in around 400 theatres in TN ( includes digital print). first weekend, the price was high in all the theatres. there was a preview show in most of the theatres on 14th night. we all know the price. america vazh thamizhargale 25$ kuduthu parthanga, inga tn-la sumava.
  
  this collection should be enormous. it is more than if the film had released in 200 theatres.
  (KONCHAM THINK PANNI PARUNGO)

  4) I didn't deny the great run its having in many places
  5) I just said certain things propagated by websites are lies.

  You mean to say it is enjoying great run (HOUSEFULL ) in areas like Nellai Nellai, TVM and Tuticorin I heard otherwise. (not that it was worse or good)
  So, as long as we have info on the RUN based on our own perception, we will continue to argue. So, Let us wait for few more days before judging anything on TN !
  
  Reg Sivakasi I will post (thamizh had already questioned that) I am not sure about Virudhunagar !

  The argument here is about success or failure of Sivaji. In the beginning of this thread(s), it was full of opinions about the plus points / -ve points of the movie. As a new hubber, I was very much happy to read this thread and surprised to see the contributions of the hubbers. The arguments started only after people discussing about the movie's commercial aspects.. In Tamil Films, there is no trasperency in the cost of making the film and the money gone to different people involved like collection figures in different areas, share of the theatre owners, share of distributor and the money made by the Producers. Till this is made transperent, the argument will go on between the fans. BTW, I am happy if the movie gives the enjoyment while watching.. Don't bother that whether that movie made good collections or flop.. Thank you all

  judge calls sudalai, he gives a paper with sivaji's story to the judge.
  the date on the paper is 1/6/2005.
  
  then, judge calls sankar he gives an almost torn paper with sivaji's story. the catch is this is gentleman story paper with date 16/6/1990
  
  judge compares the story, both looks the same.
  
  on the spot judgement from the judge, "sivaji story belongs to sankar"
  
  case dismissed.
