Finally.. Caught thalaivar in action on the First day... Janma sabalyam anna madhiri oru feeling... :)
So here goes my review of SHIVAJI - THE BOSS
Disclaimer : If you are looking for an unbiased,critical review of the film where in you expect the reviewer to say both the positive and negative things about the film.. ahem .. err... this is really not the place u know. I am a die hard rajini fan and this catered to my need. It was an all in all rajini film.And i Loved it baby!!!
The film is a treat to our eyes. The first thing that hit me about the film was the cinematography(apart from thalaivar though) .What clarity?What colors? Awesome. Apparently it the first film in India to have used a new technology 4 K resolution which provides higher precision. It shows . It shows. K.V. Anand. Your best ever.
If u wondered why this film is the most expensive ever you will get your answers in the first few minutes. It is the songs. Shankar has spent lavishly on every song and the effects are mind boggling. It makes you sit up and take notice. If you thought andakka kondakkari was creative then the songs in this movie will make u redefine creative. Ballellakka is a visual treat with the picturesque locations captivating you.And also nayanthara !!! Guys watch out ;-) . Wah ji Wah ji spell bounds you, What lavish sets , What clothes,Manish malhotra has done an awesome job throughout the film . Oru koodai is fun to watch,well though i thought it was a littel bit over done. But hey its thalaivar,anything is fine ;-) ;-)Sahana again is a masterpiece. The sets , the glasshouses ,The clothes , the everything, oh my god. Easily the best picturization i have ever seen. They mean it when they say they saved the last for the best. Adhiradikaran ,people is THE BEST rajini song ever. You cant resist an encore for that song. Wow. Now that's a rajini song
The movie has a tight screenplay , a little overdone at places but everything accepted only because of thalaivar, he is our super hero so we can just overlook the small irkings.The script is shankar's 10 year old baby, well i meant Indian. Pretty much the same with a lot of changes done for rajini and boy is it awesome!!!At many scenes shakar marks his stamp. You realise hey that's a shankar touch. Yes he has not let himself to get lost in the rajini mania. Quite a feat i must say.Though these touches are few and far in between.
Comedy is the film's forte really. Vivek delivers a great job. Quite refreshing actually sometimes. And quite inevitably he brings in his obscene jokes in too. Could have avoided those. But rajini yet again proves that he rocks in comedy , his comic timing is impeccable , even when he delivers serious lines to his nemesis he makes it funny!! vazhga thalaiva .Shriya has a pretty important role not a blink-and-u-will-miss-me role. And she does what she is supposed to do, Look pretty,petite and super hot in songs. Guys another reason to catch it ;-)
And moving on to the one, the only ,rajinikanth, Right from his superstar logo on screen everything about him in the film is different.Excellent make up, so good that there are so many close up shots which do not irk u the least and you go like "wow , talk about make overs". And he is super fit man ,in fact vivek who is more than a decade younger to him has a lot of flab he has to get rid off.His clothes are designer wear, he does his glass flipping style ever so beautifully.AS rightly pointed out by vivek he doesnt use too many punch dialogues, The few that he does use are out of the world!!! You have to watch it to believe it .Its time tested formula for rajini and the greatest thing about it is it is not tiring.Its a rajini film all the way and there s a lot of rajini for his thirsty fans out there.
So if u guys are looking for an out and out entertainer, songs ,dances,action, comedy in short if u are looking for a good old rajini film, get a ticket and watch shivaji!!!!!!!!!!

havent seen de movie yet and forced to believe whats written in here....even if nivi is lying, times NOW, CNN-ibn, NDTV...can't ;-)....ll catch it soon atleast for shriya if not for rajni :-P
Lol... I loved the disclaimer dude!!! Awesome... its nice to see disclaimer first.. people put it in last so that others dont notice.. BUt you putit first.. A thalaivar fan no doubt!!!!
Woow as for that 4k thing never heard of it.. so lets say I learnt somethign abotu technology too :).Looks like the movie has everything from Thailavar ( decided to start with him ofcours :) ), Shankar, Cinematography, COmedy. ANd woooow maan talk abotu a thalaivar fan.. if let go you would actually sing those songs to everyone. Woooooow ( I am forced to repeat this word). Dude i cant remember all the scenes of every song after a first watch of a movie.
Looks like this movie is one helluva master piece huh. I am dying to see it.. but i gotto come to Chennai for that.. lets say sometime soon. As far as its thalaivar who does it ANYTHING AND EVERYTHIGN is fine and great. As for it being a slight rip off of indian thats some news."Vazhga thalaiva" that sounds a little political nivi :). And I gues if he enters politics soem of the lazy asses like me would not ming getting the voter id cards and vote for him eh?. And yeah dude now you have put in the hottest ingredient ( for guys atleast...;)] I meant shreya.And I didnt get the thign of " moving on to the one, the only ,rajinikanth,"... I thought thats what it was importantly about.. :).ANd nivi did u say fit??.. come on i would agree with everything.. somepeople just dont put on weight... Ok ok I agree he is fit :).
And hey great review man... even if there are fans who were not "thirsty" enough.. they are gonna be after reading the review you know. I am looking for a great good old rajni movie. and I am definitely gonna watch this NO MATTER WHAT!! I am totalling eating this cake :)
Damn looks like missed the first to comment.. Still gonna keep trying :)
Lucky u....unlucky me :-(
Well ... shivaji weightooooooooo weightunu dan solanum .... tat disclaimer thng right @ d start ...urghhhhhh ;-)
After reading tat, guessed tat its gonna be a very very biased review .. but thats alrite ...u have jus hailed d positives. And tat 4 k resolution really did the trick.. but i bet it wudnt have been tat colourful without shankar. His touch s clearly seen n each n every frame. If u notice clearly, am sure there wud be around 30 - 40 colors n a single frame. He gets tat either n the outfits or with d things n d background. There are so many things to observe n each n every frame. Am sure we wont get half of the work tats gone behind d sets after watching it once.
n to add a couple more to the review,,,1st up "ARR=GOD" and then i feel tat none of shivaji's reviews are complete without a couple of lines abt Athiradee ...d manner n wich thala rides d bike with his legs @ d start of d song....wow wow and the way thalaivar stops the bullet n gets it on to his drink ....phewwwwwwwww :-) d way motta rajini rocks d chair with his legs....i can jus keep adding on .. but guess its jus a day .... so i dont wanna reveal everything.... enjoy d film n d theatre guyzzzz
p.s btw niviiiiiiii .... i really didnt wana mention it here .. but still,,,jus not able to resist ... i know u wud kill me if u get an opportunity like tis another time..... but athu veraikum ..... enaku enamo unaku "janma sabalyam" oru naal lateaa aana maadhiri iruku ;-)))))))))))
Hmm had fun is it.. By the way bunk to office aa to see the movie?
Hey super dude!!! cant wait to c the movie on monday!
By the way i would say it was not all that biased....u had high lighted a lot of stuff that even a non rajini fan would sit up n take notice of....
when u told me u had updated ur blog, i kinda guessed the topic :-)
Whoaa!!! Fantastic niv!!Wid dis post u appear near-expert in writin reviews as well!! I mean highlitin several good n creative technical aspects of d movie n not leavin out to comment on certain to-have avoided scenes too..Again i cant pop out widout praisin ur writin style - damnnnnnnnn good n stylish!!:-)
N Kudos to add disclaimer beforehand publishin d review of d film!!
I no u r such an ardent fan (like me:-)) but ur review was very un-biased..Even non-rajini fans wud get an overall idea abt d movie in a much bigger way!!
And comin to d movie , can't wait to watch it!!After readin dis post specially u ve kindled d eagerness still furthermore :-)..thailaivar rocks always!!! n u too wid evry post of urs :-))
Hi
First time here
Nan film review vasikalayeee
bcos i am going to see the film on sunday ot tuesday...athuku piraku wasikirean ...lolo
TC
hey yar!!!...
A very good round-abt the movie. A touch more than that expected from an ardent fan of Rajni!!.. I luv the theme of the rev where there isn't anything narrated frm the act storyline..
And I read an article on the making of "oru koodai sunlight" song. It seems it took a yr to make that video esp for adding the "white tan" to rajni's complexion. What creativity and love for animation- shows the hard workin nature of shankar.. his efforts for adding finesse to the minute details.. no wonder he can claim to have made a v.good all rounder film for this decade!!! :)
well...u pretty much summed up what i thought about the movie ....only one peeve.... vadivel wud hv done a better job than vivek...thats just wat i felt... but anyway thalaivar made up for it :)
well...i landed randomly at ur blog sometime last week..and reminded myself to comment here once i watch the movie...agree with u r review predominantly...but felt that may b the movie length mattum konjam koraichirukalaam nu..15-20 mins too long may be it is...
@ak
hey now u know i am not lying.. and we agreed on everything except shriya ;-)
@adithya
thanks man.. i loved the disclaimer too.
@harish
i know this is too cheeky but "yay" :)
@sathish
Dog.. i cant believe u caught it before me...i have to live with it throught my lifetime..og god!!! y!!
@cm-chap
unfortunately illa... evening show dhan.. but id i had gotten tickets.. sure bunk ;)
@anu
i know man..wat else would i write about
@navien
Thanks and i am surprised i managed to do that !!!
@known stranger
welcome to my blog! do come back and tell us what u thought :)
@sarvamangala
Hey thanks!! yeah i know they ahve worked on it for a year and to get the first frame alone it took them like some 6 months...thats something man...
@arun
Really? i thought vivek was better.. barring a few irks.. vadivelu has become very predictable.. same kinda jokes
@viswajith
Yeah i thought that the first time.. but somehow when i caught it the 2nd and the 3rd time it was not so bad...
