Dear All, Yesterday I watched shivaji in Hong Kong. Thanks to the Rajni Fans Association-HK, We could watch the Movie in full screen and in full glory, Where to start, it was really a thrilling experience to see the movie. I think this movie has raised standards not only for Tamil cinema, but raise it for a rajni cinema, Indian cinema, in stunts, in cinematography, in style ..in every department it had excelled.
The movie starts at 9:00 and there was already people waiting till 8:00. There was only one show and looking at the Tamil population in HK almost 90% were there. There were some japanese friends also to see the movie. And as soon as the title "SuperStar Rajni" Come. The noise was deafening. Nobody could control theory emotions and there were whistles and claps in almost every scene. The Movie Story wise it was a simple story of a man who want to do good to the society but the corruption in the administration pulls him down. The story was no different by the execution is mind blowing. And congrats to Shankar for thinking big. When i watched Mudalvan, i thought could the next movie of shankar match it? Then came "anniyan" again i think - a novel story great stunts - could the next movie match it ?. Though i dont have any doubt in the talents of shankar, rajni kant or ARR but forseeing a future is difficult. Now came Shivaji - A complete Masala Movie - worth more than the money spend on ticket. The first half is comedy , vivek in full form. Rajni was a little subdued in it. I know this calmness is before the Storm. And he comes in What a Force Man.. Amazing.. Simply Brilliant. Just like a roller coaster ride. I a not really getting words to express the experience. Last 15 minutes the film and Rajni's performance reaches to heights, no one match. Rajnikant He was TourDe Force. A complete performance. From Comedy to action to emotional. He done all with great elan.The scene where near the footpath he says that with thsi 1 rupee he will fight ..that was class. You can see the man changing from a simpleton to powerhouse. And what a performance he had given as mottai boss. Complete "PAISA VASOOL". Though the ticket was 200 HK dollars but my friend said after the movie. It was worth 1000 Hk Dollars. Songs & Background music. ARR Rocks in every scene. Every song is lavishly shot. There was riot of colors. Music by our boss is kick ass. Wether it is Ballelakka, Athirade or, sahaana or style or vaaji vaaji. each song is rendered very well and shot well. I really like the song Athirade and Style for its innovative idea and picturization.Especially Aithrade. One thing i like about Shankar is that he give full justive to Rehman's music and when his film is of certain budget, you can see the whole budget on screen. Shivaji is 80 crore plus movie and in each frame you can see the money put in. ARR Background puts the scene in different level. I noticed the level of greatness in the BG which gel well with the scene. Like in the Music shop fight scene, as they fight from one instrument to another, the bg music changes with stunts.. real genius. Other is outside court when Adi give 1 rupee to shivaji and last but not the least the end stunts rap. Cinematography by KV Anand is very good. Actions are superb. If you want to see how bg can elevate a scene then watch Shivaji and Lagaan. Every background piece is different and according to the scene. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. One word to those people who says how can he fight 10 peoples, how can he base rich so soon. Com 'on guys what have you gone to do there ?? to write a Phd Thesis on Shivaji Movie ? Enjoy the movie. Have fun. Why are you searching logic in it. You don't find logic in Hollywood Movies. You will digest the movie and accept the hero who wears his underwear over his pants..Don't you ?? Last One word. RAJNI ROCKS.. ARR ROCKS..SHANKAR ROCKS. ALL IN ALL SHIVAJI ROCKS. --------------------------------- Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection. Try the free Yahoo! Mail Beta.
