Shivaji Weightaaaa!!!
So here goes my review of SHIVAJI – THE BOSS
Disclaimer : If you are looking for an unbiased,critical review of the film where in you expect the reviewer to say both the positive and negative things about the film.. ahem .. err… this is really not the place u know. I am a die hard rajini fan and this catered to my need. It was an all in all rajini film.And i Loved it baby!!!
The film is a treat to our eyes. The first thing that hit me about the film was the cinematography(apart from thalaivar though) .What clarity?What colors? Awesome. Apparently it the first film in India to have used a new technology 4 K resolution which provides higher precision. It shows . It shows. K.V. Anand. Your best ever.
If u wondered why this film is the most expensive ever you will get your answers in the first few minutes. It is the songs. Shankar has spent lavishly on every song and the effects are mind boggling. It makes you sit up and take notice. If you thought andakka kondakkari was creative then the songs in this movie will make u redefine creative. Ballellakka is a visual treat with the picturesque locations captivating you.And also nayanthara !!! Guys watch out
. Wah ji Wah ji spell bounds you, What lavish sets , What clothes,Manish malhotra has done an awesome job throughout the film . Oru koodai is fun to watch,well though i thought it was a littel bit over done. But hey its thalaivar,anything is fine
Sahana again is a masterpiece. The sets , the glasshouses ,The clothes , the everything, oh my god. Easily the best picturization i have ever seen. They mean it when they say they saved the last for the best. Adhiradikaran ,people is THE BEST rajini song ever. You cant resist an encore for that song. Wow. Now that’s a rajini song
The movie has a tight screenplay , a little overdone at places but everything accepted only because of thalaivar, he is our super hero so we can just overlook the small irkings.The script is shankar’s 10 year old baby, well i meant Indian. Pretty much the same with a lot of changes done for rajini and boy is it awesome!!!At many scenes shakar marks his stamp. You realise hey that’s a shankar touch. Yes he has not let himself to get lost in the rajini mania. Quite a feat i must say.Though these touches are few and far in between.
Comedy is the film’s forte really. Vivek delivers a great job. Quite refreshing actually sometimes. And quite inevitably he brings in his obscene jokes in too. Could have avoided those. But rajini yet again proves that he rocks in comedy , his comic timing is impeccable , even when he delivers serious lines to his nemesis he makes it funny!! vazhga thalaiva .Shriya has a pretty important role not a blink-and-u-will-miss-me role. And she does what she is supposed to do, Look pretty,petite and super hot in songs. Guys another reason to catch it
And moving on to the one, the only ,rajinikanth, Right from his superstar logo on screen everything about him in the film is different.Excellent make up, so good that there are so many close up shots which do not irk u the least and you go like “wow , talk about make overs”. And he is super fit man ,in fact vivek who is more than a decade younger to him has a lot of flab he has to get rid off.His clothes are designer wear, he does his glass flipping style ever so beautifully.AS rightly pointed out by vivek he doesnt use too many punch dialogues, The few that he does use are out of the world!!! You have to watch it to believe it .Its time tested formula for rajini and the greatest thing about it is it is not tiring.Its a rajini film all the way and there s a lot of rajini for his thirsty fans out there.
So if u guys are looking for an out and out entertainer, songs ,dances,action, comedy in short if u are looking for a good old rajini film, get a ticket and watch shivaji!!!!!!!!!!
