best movie i've ever seen.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The acting in this movie is really good.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The movie was excellent. Songs and BGM were very good in the movie. Rajinikanth acted very good in the movie. Everyone acted very well in the movie.
Man oh man! Ain't I darned about how Sivaji looked upon me. This very very lame commercial cocktail has nothing other than Rahman's music, Rajni's punch dialogs and Shriya's hotness. The film is just a rehash of Shankar's previous works. I've noticed that Sivaji becomes some kind of a paying- homage film to his previous flicks such as Gentleman, Mudhalvan and Indian. There's 190 minutes of pure escape and in the end, you walk out of the cinema hall with your minds washed out. All you remember would be the music, dialogs and the glamor. Vivek's comic relief comes in handy in the first half. But, in the second half, he disappears as Rajni takes center-stage. Sivaji: The Boss is inadvertently one of the worsts of 2007.
I know people love Rajini, i know people love Sivaji because it is tailor-made for Rajini fans with style, and i know Shankar's product has given more grandeur to Rajini's superstar status. I could rate this movie higher because i did enjoy the fun element in it, but i guess my expectations were way above this. Well, why shouldn't they be high? Th director is Shankar, and the last thing i expected is for him to come with a wafer-thin storyline (the story's no show at all). Next is two disturbing facts. As a movie-goer of Tamil films, i'm getting concerned because of Shriya's inclusion in this movie. She, i have to say, is crap. She is not a proper actress, and the biggest problem, she only has skin show and can't modulate in Tamil. Tamil cinema will only progress further if they start paying respect to their own language and start at least hire actresses who can modulate the language properly, instead of giving tax exemptions to Tamil titles. Secondly, this is the MOST expensive Tamil movie ever to date (Dasavatharam is more expensive, and will take over once it releases), so what if an avid movie-goer asks 'what is the most expensive movie you guys ever made?'. I'd have to show him or her 'Sivaji', which by production, theme, storyline, and quality, and even performance, is not at all a good movie. This is not a movie that can make an Indian hold his head high up and shut the mouths of Westeners who stereotype us as being unable to make real quality products. It's like Shankar flushed all the 70 crores given to him? Where is the money gone? Songs of course...
I was curious to see Superstar Rajinikanth movie after 2 years. When its the combo of Rajini-Shankar-AR my expectation was beyond the limits, trust me guys it were all fulfilled. Action scenes, Songs, Puch-dialouges, each and every frame of the movie was spectacular, no words to describe. Especially for the ORU-KUDAI (Style) song it was a total surprise. Shankar transformed our thalaivar in to a white man using CG, this the first time in the history of cinema world anything happened like this. Hats off to shankar for his creative thinking! Rajini proved that he is the only Superstar and no one can beat him ever.On the whole Sivaji is Rajini's Best. It is like the 8th wonder of the world to me. ROCKING!!!
