This is Bollywood Top Movies List of 250. Where this type of average movie, made for money, paid by the huge fans of the protagonist. Trust on Top Bollywood movies has vanished. This movie has only 1 thing noticeable, Rajnikant. A great hero in Indian cinema history. Mostly by his huge number of fans. In real this movie can't deserve a place in top list. This type of movies are called Masala Movie in India. Which is made only for money, profit. Nothing else. So if you give seal of an epic movie to this type of movie which is made for money, it's your fault, not the movie itself. Only blind people and deaf fans can see this movie as an epic. Otherwise a garbage. Only Baasha is everywhere, in songs, in background score, in dialogues. A man hiding his past but more young in his present then past. What a.... Okay let me realistic, watch this movie if you are a fan of Rajni, a fan of typical south Asian movies. If you think it as a deserved top movie list, you will be fooled after watching this.

One of the best gangster movies i have ever seen! Didn't think an Indian regional tamil movie would be so good...rate the movie UP THERE! Rajni's style and acting in this movie is one of the reason why this was a success! The acting of the villain Raghuvaran was fantastic! Directed very well...music is also superb...even though the background music sometimes is a rip off from "The Terminator" its done very well by the music director Deva. The whole Autorickshaw driver who was a big Don in Bombay is a fantastic story so the heart of the movie is the story.The slick way this movie has been taken is excellent.Rajni always does something special for each movie he does like say something or a movement like a sign or symbol and in this one he does one of his most famous styles..Watch it for Rajni's greatest movie!

I am amazed that not one of Superstar Rajinikanth's millions of fans in the whole wide world has bothered to write a review of what is arguably his greatest hit and possibly his best entertainer. Like legions of his fans, I cannot find a single flaw in this superb flick. It's like a Bond movie; everything's possible because 007 is in charge. Rajini as Manickam and Badsha is simply scintillating; he gives his most impressive Bond-like performance to date. Actually I think Superstar should have quit films and entered politics after Badsha - he would have left in a blaze of glory and cemented his place in film and political history. There are many unforgettable scenes - when he speaks to the college principal for his sister's admission, the fight with Anandaraj ("ULLE PO"), all his scenes with Raghuvaran. I can go on and on. Instead I'll go and watch Badsha again. Maybe you should, if you haven't already.
