Sivaji - Movie of 2007
Sivaji has hit the theatres across the world and all the hype that surrounded it has gone. As I had pointed out in my earlier blog, this movie is going to be the blockbuster and the movie of the year. After Dhalapathi this was FDFS of the Rajni movie that I saw. I was enthralled to see Rajni's on screen appearance. Man!! He looked so young and vibrant. Kudos to the make up artist. Well this movie began with an unusual intro of Rajni. It was not a kinda of where all the ruffians are thrown away at every single step of the Super Star with the camera zooming from the bottom to the top. It was unsual with Rajni behind the bars and narrating his story.
The first half of the movie was gross comedy that left the stomach writhing in pain. Vivek has combined with Rajni for the first time and he too gets his oppurtunity to deliver puch dialogues on Rajni's behalf. This combination has worked very well after Rajni-Vadivelu in Chandramukhi. One cannot say that it is a Shankar's movie. I could see that this movie has been tailored made for Rajni fans to appease them. Itz jus that the black money or money laundering has just been roped in as the subject of the movie. Sivaji, the NRI comes to India with the dream of starting schools, colleges and hospitals to serve the poor and needy with free education and free medication to all only to find his path being impeded by unscrupulous politicians. He bribes everyone just to see that this dream project goes without trouble. But that doesn't end there. He is squandered of all his money and his dream project goes for a toss after the demolition notice issued by the new government. How he overcomes it forms the rest of the story. Shriya, Rajni's lady love in the movie, is really a hot chick. I have seen this lady in E20-U18 where she got a minor role to play. But she has supported Rajni well in this movie.
The songs in the movie rocks esp. "Athiradee" sung by Rahman deserves a praise. This foot tapping number has been picturised well and the popularity of the song has been augmented by unusual gimmicks that even Captain Vijaykanth would have to beg for in his next movie. Rajni throws a pistol like a boomerang which on its way shoots the bully and comes back to him again. The Border Security Force of India has approached Shankar to learn about this trick as it would help them in targeting Pakistani's camps. Another scene in the song which caught everyone by surprise was the bullet's fear to penetrate Rajni's forehead. The bullet fired from a pistol stops right in front of Rajni's forehead and for every step he takes forward the bullet moves backward only to feel ashamed and falling in to water.
The second half of the movie moves very fast except for the climax which drags a little bit. Overall the movie was excellent and I would rate this movie 9.0/10. This movie has all the ingredients at right proportions necessary to work out at the box office. Rajni had recently said in one of the TV interviews that he was tensed and nervous because of all the hype created by the media. I guess now he can breathe easily. As said by him it is the movie for classes and masses. Just go out there and enjoy the movie. Do remember to keep your brain back at home because this is not the movie that works on logic but a movie that works on magic, "The Superstar magic".
