Summa athirudthu thala! I nearly cried when I saw Rajnikanth come down the escalator after the opening scenes. I grew up seeing him, enjoying his movies. A total entertainer, a profession I personally respect. He's done what he does best in the movie. It was way above the expectations that have been piling up from all corners of the earth (the media of course was the reason behind the hype). But, the movie experience .. well, there's nothing like it. It will certainly live up to the hype and do even more (probably break a few records).
It feels as though we're in a state of anachronism, like as though we're in the present and we are seeing the superstar of yesterday in a spine kindling new version. Even if our hero's face shows his age at certain points in the movie, he's a very good example to prove that the commitment to entertain is still fresh in his blood. Well, as modest as he is when he said in his interviews that all the credit should go to Shankar, it is true that Shankar has done a really remarkable job with Rajinikanth.
A truly amazing experience. Any true Tamilian who was born around & after the late seventies would surely share my opinion and I can guarantee you that. Shivaji rocks! Anybody who has still not seen it get ready for a spicy platter served up Rajini style with the usual Shankar magic coupled with Shriya,Vivek and the divine music of AR Rahman. You wouldn't be able to hear the background music with all the fans screaming in the theater, but trust me it is one of the thousand highlights of the movie.
vaada vaada ... vangikkada.. vayila beeda pottukkada.. .. Cool!
