Sivaji - The BOSS

As a rule, I dont think any review does any justice to Thalaivar movies. First things first, leave the logic behind on a barcalounger. And then enjoy the movie! Its a total blast! And its Thalaivar start to finish though appreciable lengths of roles have been given to Vivek and Shriya. I am not going to give a long review. Here are somethings I thought were absolutely worth mentioning -

1. Thalaivar. But ofcourse!! He is smashing and doesn't look his age ANYWHERE. He'll put younger heros to shame no problem with his agility and stature. He is incredible and looks awesome even upclose. And in Oru koodai sunlight, his colour has been whitened so convincingly, its totally worth it. This is not a typical Rajini movie with a bunch of punch dialogues et al. Watch it to see what I mean.

2. Vivek. Ode to the guy, man! Fantastic comic timing and sharing as much screen space as Thalaivar, Vivek simply doesn't disappoint. Soo many of his cracks left the audience roaring with laughter from start to finish. Asked to put Sivaji in a genre, I would probably put in a comedy genre. A through n through family movie.

3. The colors and costumes - The costumes are from Manish Malhotra and with a heroine like Shriya, it was a job well-done. She looks stunning in a fabulous array of attires designed for her. The sets are stupendous and the sheer colour in the movie is worth the mention. There's every single colour of the rainbow. Mindblowing!

All in all, its a thorough entertainer that anyone loves Tamil movies MUST watch. Rajini is stupendous in this and it is not the biased Rajini fan in me who's talking. The comedy is unsurpassable and the theme is great too. Shankar has kept it purely as a superstar movie and has spared no expense in bringing it to the pubic. Super!! Watch it. Watch it. WATCH IT.
