Arguably the biggest movie releases ever in India, Sivaji the boss opens today all over the world. Here is a pre release review from the premium screening of the film. Please note that if you plan to watch the movie, omit the
Story part or you will not enjoy the movie.
Shivaji is Rajnikanth's film all the way.Shot in true Shankar style with with huge performances, costly sets, entertainment, fight sequences, great looking and glamorous actresses and a social message. A sure shot formula for commercial success.
Story:
The film starts with RajniKant(Sivaji) in jail. The movie goes into flashback from there. Sivaji is a software professional. He returns from US with one aim, to give free education to all as he believes only education can cure poverty once and for all. Once back, Sivaji wishes to marry a tamil girl. He and his mama(Vivek) go searching for a girl in temples.... and at last they sees Shreya. However, Rajni's parents are against the marriage but after some funny incidents they agree to the same. However just when things looked bright, Shriya refuses to marry as by astrology if she married Rajni, he would die. Our hero does some convincing and finally gets to marry Shriya.
Meanwhile, people are jealous of Sivaji, especially his biggest rival Suman. Suman plays a business tycoon who feels threatened by Shivaji's charity plans. He goes all out to ruin Sivaji and succeeds. In the end he gives him 1 rupee coin asking Sivaji to beg to survive. Sivaji, the superhero does a coin toss, it comes out as head(the way of the Lion) and he decides he will fight it out like a Lion does alone. Sivaji now lands up in jail, from where the movie started.
The second half of the movie is about Rajni the terror

He takes revenge on all the corrupt and mighty. He realizes the amount of black money that could be in place all over Tamil Nadu is huge. He lootes all black money of almost all politicians and converts them to white money(through his friends abroad) and starts his work again. Sure enough he becomes a wealthy man and finally after some fighting and chases with CBI on the track of Rajni is able to defeat Suman.
Music:
Good music with very good picturization of Rajni in which he is shown with 8 differnt styles. Almost all songs are very stylish and lavish. Actresses come out looking very glamorous in the songs with Sivaji the real hero.
Performances:
Rajini - Acted excellently. For a man of his age, he is still the undisputed superhero. Came out as the most stylish hero in recent times and as usual his actions and dialog delivery is unmatched. Another super perfomance from ther SuperStar.
Shreya - Unlike other Rajni and Shankar films, Shriya actually got a much bigger role here. She came through with flying colours looking great and glamorous.
Vivek - Okish performance.
shankar - Another masterpiece from him. Three cheers.
Social Message:
The movie talks about the huge amount of black money lying with politicians and corrupt people. If such money could be used for development, great many things can be achieved.
Rajni fans will really enjoy this movie. Those not his fans will surely be entertained. Overall the question is not whether the movie will be a hit or not, the movie is surely going to break all records, the only thing to see is whether it will be a super duper hit or a super duper guper hit
Go Watch It!
