SIVAJI(2007)-Tamil


Starring : RAJNIKANTH,Shreya,Vivek,Suman...guest apperance Nayantara,Raghuvaran

Directed by : Shankar

Produced by : AVM Productions

Music by : A R Rahman

Storyline:
Typical rajni-shankar storyline. A 'Gentleman==Sivaji' from US who decides to help society by providing free education and constructing hospitals but his dream is not fulfilled because of corruption existing in government system and also largly influenced business tycoon Suman.As usual hero loses all his money in the first half of the story and regains his position and cleans the corruption in second half of the story with pace and twist.Shreya comes in first half and in between for dance numbers.
RE-el-VIEW:
'SIVAJI-THE BOSS'...'RAJNI THE BOSS'....'THE BOSS'.These were the headlines flashing almost in all news channels before sivaji got to hit theatres.This hype was much because of rajni-shankar-arrahman combination,offcourse they are the biggies in film industry and it's the Superstar Rajni's film. Sivaji had essential ingrediants to have an huge hype because of big budget (around 40 crores estimated ) and new looks of rajni appearing more younger than ever and never in any of his films.Finally sivaji had hit theatres with 600 prints all over world living to the hype that it had before the release.
'Rajni' makes an silent entry into the film with not much of special effects or with glamourous mass song which is disappointingto rajni fanatics.Sivaji who is well earned software architect returns to india with COOL hairstyle then he proceeds to get his dream project to be done for the sake of the society.Suman initially who seems to be sivaji's friend later he squeezes sivaji's plan and money for the sake of his own business and makes sivaji to walk on streets [scene which is common in muthu where his friend asks rajni toleave his home----and in padaiyappa where rajni's family was sent out of their own home---same old scenes].Suman gives an one rupee coin to rajni asking him to beg but our superstar uses one rupee coin efficently for the revenge.

Rajni always a superstar yet to remain for long years who appears in sivaji with charming presence in acting.First half of the movie moves at a normal speed and in second half of the movie moves beyond the speed limit.Rajini in first half is 'fun'-'loving' boss and in second half 'reformer' becomes 'terror' with a 'force'.Rajni's hairstyle looks different in both half of the movie which gives a different feel to the audience. Shreya does typical rajni movie heroine job,she looks good in songs and few scenes and she would have done much more better in lipsinking.Vivek almost comes in 50% of the movie along with rajni,he has given tremendous comedy scenes and punch dialogues.Suman looks a different villain in this movie with his appearance.




Much talked in this movie is the way rajni looks,this movie has brought old looks of rajni in 80's which is a huge treat to rajni fans.Shankar had used all his creative technics and technology to make rajni more younger offcourse rajni is the king of STYLES. Shankar has used one line usual simple known story for making powerful perfect rajni entertainer with no logic.Shankar's sivaji is a heavily packed container with loads of rajni stuffs and he has proven again as a successful director by making box office hit movie.Eventhough his scripts are usual but he brings out different feel for each movie which is never seen before. In sivaji shankar's creativity has gone to an extreme in making rajni look younger,he made rajni to look like an european in few scenes and song.For that they have worked on 6500frames matching rajni's skin tone with european girl skin tone.




After mudhalvan cinematographer K.V.Anand has worked in sivaji with shankar,the credits for making rajni younger and colorful is definetly for anand. Art director thottatharani has brought huge expensive dome and colloseum sets to look more real and colorful.Stunts by Peter hein can be appreciated only to some extent because too many special effects and not even able to get a view of single kick. Another superstar who has worked behind the screen with his musical scores is A R Rahman.The musical score that hehas made for suman entry ,rajni entry in second half and for mottaboss really awesome.

I would suggest Sivaji is a must watch film not only for diehard rajni fans it's also for all movie goers and i would alsosay that never expect logic and story just enjoy shankar-rajni extragavanzha.The production value of sivaji and the way it's doin business right now would bring remarkable change in kollywood.Eventhough it doesnt have extraORDINARY story but techinally sivaji is EXTRAORDINARY film.




Mottaboss entry is definely rocking,what a high electric performance-excellent.Atlast mottaboss steals the show.


"Worth watching MOTTABOSS...never miss mottaboss...chumma adhirum"
