Excellent come back after Padayappa. He has once again proved himself as the Demi-God. Superstar comes back in style and even when he comes to Chennai from U.S. in the movie, he has the Alex Pandian look in him.
The movie is rich. Thalaivar comes to Chennai with 200 crores, he mortgages his properties for 50 crores. Unwillingly bribes people for 54 crores. Gives a Merc for 20 lakhs. But the story begins only when every penny is lost and Superstar is left with only 1 rupee. He hits back. Makes almost 46 thousand crores and gives it all for the poor.
Shriya. Semma lip. Semma hip. Other than that she has nothing more to do in the film.
Vivek. He is the second hero of the film. He is with Superstar in every other scene, except the songs and of course first night. This time Vivek takes care of the punch dialogues. Sixukku apparam seven da, Sivajiku apparam yevan da ? Perfect reply for all the wannabe Superstars is Kollywood.
Suman. The baddy of the movie. If he had come for FDFS in any of our theatres he would have pulled his toungue and died (read : naakka pudingittu sethu poyiruppan). He was abused so much by the audience whenever he gets back on Superstar. But he was a kiddish villain especially after the Mark Antony Raghuvaran.
A.R.Rahman. After Muthu and Padayappa, this movie is a serious let down. The only Rajni flavoured song is Athiradee karan.
Shankar, K.V.Anand and Thottatharani. Special appearance in a song. The entire theatre shouted – Enna koduma saravanan idhu
Shankar. He usually has a strong flash back in every movie but this is the only exception. But who cares ? Why should Superstar’s movie go the same way ? Shankar’s work is definitely overshadowed by Rajnikanth’s screen presence but all the hype for the movie is all for Rajnikanth, so no issues at all.
Superstar. Definitely the superstar. No one ever can do a song like Athiradee karan, its tailor made for Thalaivar. The tea shop scene outside Income Tax office is a definite proof that Superstar is still in form. Its a full and full Rajnikanth movie.
The first time I saw the movie, I liked it. The second time, I loved it. Now going to go for the third time. BOSS is MASS.

@ aparna

Hope I take back my words
You are the first one to say ARR is disappointing. Many seem to be saying the BGM is quite good.
Btw, did you get my mail or not?
Hi Dinesh
Your review is exactly to the point. This is not a proper Shankar’s movie but Superstar’s movie. As you pointed out Rajni once again proves that he is always the DON. Though this movie is weak in the storyline its nutritioned extraordinarily by our superstar. Even I loved that teashop scene. The last 30 minutes are mind blowing. If you get time visit the below link.This is my blog and I have written my review on Sivaji.

but the style song is a fantastic experiment … equally good pictuarisation … you ought to watch it
btw mailed you this morning, reply when you are free
@ capjack
long time man. how are you ?
i still term this as a proper shankar movie. why should we brand shankar as one who makes movies on social reforms ?
hey there are quite a lot of reviews on your blog, how do you find time to catch up with so many movies ?
Hi Dinesh
I am fine, thank you. How is your Post-college life? In my blog I have reviewed only 8-9 movies, thats not a big sum. I select some movies , I’ll look out for them and will watch them finally and i’ll take a couple of days to think over a movie, thats it. In the one and a half month holidays I have analysed only a few movies.
Coming to your point, Shankar definitely has a formula, which he has somehow got from the old greek and roman classical literature. But he is undoubtedly a master director. But if you watch closely, in Sivaji you will find scenes thatare moved without proper foregrounding, which makes the movie look odd. On the other hand we should consider the amount of pressure placed on Shankar’s head. This movie is a big success only because Rajni plugs the holes left by Shankar through his extraordinary stuff.Did you notice?, Rajni overtakes Vivek in comedy in the first half. With out Rajni, this ship would have faced a lot of trouble sailing successfully! Shankar always plays on the pathos of the people and brings out that violence is the only solution, which is not genuine.Also in every movie he has a discussion scene where the hero is questioned and he answers them successfully.This is my sincere opinion on Shankar.
@ capjack
but this is a rajnikanth movie … rajni cannot be punished like arjun in gentleman, he cannot die like kamal in indian or be put into a rehab like vikram in anniyan … he is rajni … he is a larger than life hero … shankar has clearly stiched rajni’s role to perfection …
but of course if there was no rajni, this story would be a flop, but if it was not going to be rajni, shankar would have definitely made the story more powerful …
@ capjack
