"Naan oru dhatavai sonna, Adhu nooru dhatavai sonna madhiri"
"Naan solratha thaan seivan, seiratha thaan solluven"
"Idhu Eppadi Irukku"
can u imagine any other actor in the world uttering these words with style and charisma our thalaivar had done.
I am sure u will be eager to read this whole article in one second..as usually i used to feel.
There may a 100 new actors who can do anything for cinema..change their physic..does 4-5 roles ..but i am sure Tamil film industry will have only one super star..and we will have only one "Thalaivar"-"The commercial BOSS".
I am not going to give u his life history..a conductor turned actor,sorry "Inspiration" for all his fans and so many.Just point out the reasons why he is the super star, and why all politicians comment on his every actions.If i have made u interesting... just read the entire article.
During the late 70s, when Rajnikanth made his mark as a hero in Tamil cinema, his movies were usually ones which had a very powerful story and relied on Rajni’s acting, which I believe is tremendously under-utilized till date.
Then in the early 80s, Billa happened, and everything about Rajni changed forever. He became a style icon and almost every single movie in the post Billa era, except Thalapathi, has relied on his style and ‘punch’ dialogues. But Thalaivar is simply superb and mind blowing in all of them .
Once it was said that "sun never sets in britain Empire", and it is for sure, we can say "Rajni's film will never be a failure".
Let me justify the above statement:
-> Baba ,which is said to be his flop movie had earned 20 crores,similar to the value ,what all other actors in the tamil industry will have for their super hit movie.
-> And my next justification may hurt someone,sorry freinds!!!
"sivaji-The boss"-became a super hit movie and the history of tamil cinema has been
re-written-and the reason is one and only bcoz of super star in it.
I understand that I am being too critical about this great film which is running full house in all parts of the globe. I am extremely satisfied and enthralled about all the technical work that has been taken for the film. All the technicians from photographer, musician, editor, art director to Shankar rocked. Hats off guys, you have taken Tamil film to the next euphoria.
But the first half of the film ,with reapeted villain and romance sequences make us clear that-"Shankar cannot handle our thalaivar".Shankar wanted to strike a balance between style and substance in Sivaji and miserably fails. Sivaji will be a blockbuster, because of one reason - Rajnikanth for his stupendous acting, captivating dialogue delivery and attractive mannerisms. He takes a stroll with this latest hair style , full back comb. His dressing also changes to give him a vibrant look.
The best scene of the movie is obviously the tea shop scene, where SS is quick witted and rational in threatening the villain in his own magnetic style.Then comes the great 10 min sequence where SS imitates sivaji, MGR and kamal. He clearly stands out with his distinguishable acting prowess.
-> And after this is ........,Yes the entry of Mottai boss as MGR. What a concept, visualization and thinking. This final and most important part of the movie stand out of the rest, full credits to SS and Shankar for the same. SS looks dazzling with shaven head, usually known for his hair style till this. The screenplay suddenly goes in jet speed till the climax and finishes with a grand finale Matrix fight.
Sivaji is supposed to be a 3-legged chair (Rajni+Rehman+Shankar). But right now balancing on a single leg (Rajni).But we know his 1 leg=100 legs,thats our thalaivar..
But we expected a different Rajni, a different thalaivar after a long gap........but i am satisfied bcoz i will watch him even if he just sits all through out the movie ..and atlast give me his magnetic smile.But this entire review is bcoz , all others review it in a wrong way, and
say something about Rajni-which i cant tolerate for sure.
sorry friends .i think i ve been too much involved in sivji review,let me take u back.
I just wanted to say why he lives in many of our hearts and lead us in many practical situations of our life.
His dialogue in the movie padayappa
->"kashta padamae ethuvum kedaikathu.....appadi kedaikerathu eppavumae valkiyezha
nilaikathu", is classic and mind blowing , and i am sure this had leaded me in many situations, and it may have happened for u all.
->"I only fear god and my conscience," his usual replies have taught me more.
->"When I started to earn a living, I did not know that one day I would come to Madras and become film actor. For me, no matter how famous I become, I will always be a pal to my pals, because they are my roots," -and this teaches me what life is ..its not money , its not car or bike, but simplicity- most powerful weapon of our Thalaivar.
->During his speech in padayappa 200 days function, superstar announced that he was gifting his Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam to the people of Tamil Nadu. He had created a will in which he transferred the mandapam, which is presently in his name, to the Raghavendra Charity Trust. He then handed over the will to an advocate on stage. He said that it rightly belonged to the people since it was the money they had spent to see his movies. Explaining his decision to make this announcement in public, he said that he had done it this way so that he could not go back on his word. He said even a good decision made in private may be taken back at a later time but not after he had made it in public - And we know this is our super star.
->He has every thing in his life ,what we will think it is enough for life,like money,family etc., but he is search of some eternal thing , and advices all his fans to be quite and peaceful and seek god, really a true leader.
->And coming to the political controversies ,i am sure u will know about that JJ controversy in 1992.Let me leave that,coming to Ramdoss matter in baba....
I am sure no one wud have known about him before this matter..he became popular bcoz he was against super star...and the rest u know guys ,the media gave him much importance and made popular--"a cheap publicity trend".
And let me conclude now:
He may be 57, but as he had said the style and charisma had born along with him , and it will never fade.The super star seat is not his identity ,it is like his shadow , even he cant threw it off if he wishes, it is a seat given to him by millions of his die hard fans...and there is no one in this world ,and there will be no one ,trying to sit in it,
where our thalaivar had his place in 30 years of his cine life-"THE BOSS".
