SIVAJI- REVIEW

“ATHIRADI” – The best word to describe the film..A power-packed and amazing portrayal from the one and only Boss of Tamil Celluloid world-SUPER STAR RAJNIKANT !
Shankar has kept the audience in mind while churning out a treat for Rajni fans.Brilliant visuals,Stunning camera work,amazing artistic creativity..the film is rich in its technical aspects.
The introduction scene is a novelty.. with Rajni appearing in a black hood.The first half is breezy and light, with scenes that tickle your funny bone( but compared to the second half , this falls short in pace).Rajni and Vivek take a dig at all his pretenders who shamelessly copy him and his punches.Rajni looks stunning .. travelling a decade back in age and time with his looks.The only draw back is a wafer thin story line but Shankar compensates for that with gripping screenplay and of course Rajni carries the three hour film on his shoulders with his charisma.Also the fight sequences look good only in parts but the climax fight is marvellous.Raghuvaran has essayed a neat portrayal and Shreya has grabbed the role of her lifetime with both hands and looks ravishing.Rahman does a fantastic job with apt BGM.The director is able to visualise his dreams and paint it on screen effectively in the song sequences.
Balleilakka-This song is a bit of a disappointment if you are expecting a typical Rajni intro song.The choreography is not impressive and the usual Rajni verve is missing.Nayanthara strikes a pretty picture and is lovely to watch.
Vaaji Vaaji-Rajni is dressed up like an emperor and Shreya looks hot in this song.The set leaves you awe-struck.Brilliant camera and art work.Each and every minute detail has been given importance(Dont miss the lighting effects on each n every pillar of the dome)
Style-Prabhu Deva the choreographer rocks!Rajni again travels back in time and this time appears blond like a european (Computer graphics imagery).Excellent footwork from all the artists.
Sahana-Yet another mind blowing masterpiece from the art director.The entire song has been shot in a glass set.Even the keyboard,chess board are all in glass.Rajni is grace personified in song and his movements evoke a sense of nostalgia reminding you of the super hit song “kaadhalin deepam ondru” of the 1980′s.The costumer has done a splendid job throughout the movie and this song is just the icing on the cake.
ATHIRADI-”THE” song for Super Star fans.No one but the super star can be visualised in such a manner and Super Star shakes a leg too with choreographer Lawrence bringing out movements that look good when essayed by Rajni.
And finally, in the climax sequences “MOTTA BOSS” RAJNI bowls you over with his charisma..
If you are a Rajni fan.. go watch it twice .. if you aren’t one, watch it atleast once to know what Super Star pull is all about..!
“Six ku apparom Seven da,SIVAJI ku apparom yevan da..??!”…CHUMMA ATHIRUDHULLA..
