There is nothing new in the story of Sivaji The Boss(2007). It's the ages old tussle between good and evil being given the shape of the honest and sincere hero's being pitted against the corrupt system in Mera Bhaarat Mahaan. But this hackneyed story contains a lot of entertainment for the audience and in the end, this is what matters the most.Our software professional hero Sivaji(Rajnikant) who happens to come from a modest background, earns around Rs. 150 crores by working in the USA and then returns to India to serve his country by providing free education and treatment to the underprivileged through his charitable institution called Sivaji Foundation. However there's a villain(Suman) in the way who considers his activities a threat to his money-making machinery. Alongwith him, the corrupt political and bureaucratic system prevailing in our country becomes a major problem for our hero who meanwhile has to set right his love life also.Finally, our hero loses the legal battle also which is completely in favour of might and not what's right. He is on the road now having lost all his wealth. Then his heart(and his fate) shows him the way to leave the garb of a simple, sincere and law-abiding Sivaji and move into the persona of Boss, the boss of all those who are on the wrong side. How he turns the tables on them and puts his dream of serving his country into reality is the stuff of the post-interval session of the movie.Quite some time back, Vidya Baalan had asserted for one movie of hers that it contained only three things - Entertainment, Entertainment and Entertainment. Well, she only must be knowing better what's the significance of uttering the same word thrice when one would have sufficed. Following the same line, Rajnikant can assert this word hundreds of times for this movie(or any similar movie done by him). Forget logic. Just allow yourself to be entertained by the time-tested masaalas poured in the movie. And then here's Rajnikant, the boss of the box office who won't disappoint you in terms of entertainment at least.I am not going to ask the script-writer and the director(Shankar) as to how our hero is able to convert whooping sums of black money into white money through his money-laundering act controlled from the USA, something which went above my head. If only getting better of the baddies and snatching their moneys were so easy! But then please note that here's not a commoner assigned with this job. It's Rajni, the Boss capable of doing all those things which lesser mortals can't do. And it's needless to discuss the fight and action sequences specially designed for him.The highly illogical script in which doses of romance and comedy do nothing but block the flow of the narrative, quite unfortunately, supports the superstitious mentality of the Indians through the activities of the heroine who's first the betrothed of the hero and then the wife. She believes the talks of a soothsayer regarding her matrimonial alliance with the hero and acts upon them which ultimately lands our hero into jail. Well, our hero has no complaints because he knows that whatever his lady-love is doing is for the sake of saving his life only(from an imaginary danger). And when he has no complaints, why should we? Whatever Rajni Sir does, is capable of keeping the audience enchanted in the hall. Always maintaining his image of a common man's hero while balancing it with his larger-than-life persona, Rajni Sir has conquered countless hearts for a lifetime. He appears to be the director's actor. Hence if he is over the top, the director(and his image in public psyche as well) is only to blame.Shreya Saran has done nothing but filled the quota of a heroine which is a must because the hero has to romance also according to the prevailing norms of Indian cinema. Among others, Suman as the villain and Vivek as the comedian maternal uncle of the hero have done satisfactorily.The movie is way too long and the songs and dances(plus the rom-com sequences) forced into the narrative are responsible for it. Technically, the movie is just okay. Ditto for the music of A.R. Rehman.Sivaji The Boss is the successful fight of a commoner against the corrupt system but the fighter is not exactly a commoner like me or you or any other similar spectator of this movie. This fighter is Rajnikant, the extra-ordinary. He is larger than life which we, unfortunately, aren't and can't. Hence the hero of the story wins his individual fight in the reel life but the cruel Indian system continues to throttle the real ones in the real life.

Man oh man! Ain't I darned about how Sivaji looked upon me. This very very lame commercial cocktail has nothing other than Rahman's music, Rajni's punch dialogs and Shriya's hotness. The film is just a rehash of Shankar's previous works. I've noticed that Sivaji becomes some kind of a paying- homage film to his previous flicks such as Gentleman, Mudhalvan and Indian. There's 190 minutes of pure escape and in the end, you walk out of the cinema hall with your minds washed out. All you remember would be the music, dialogs and the glamor. Vivek's comic relief comes in handy in the first half. But, in the second half, he disappears as Rajni takes center-stage. Sivaji: The Boss is inadvertently one of the worsts of 2007.

Shankar - Superstar Rajinikanth. What a pair it is? and the expectation it raised was sooooo.. High. But the movie satisfied it?. In my view an absolute "NO". I was totally disappointing with Shankar, as it is not a movie of shankar.He tries to bring the crowds by using Superstar only. And nowadays he is concentrating on increasing the budget of a movie and not on the screenplay.Tecnically speaking there is a lot of hard work especially Thotta tharani with those huge sets for the songs, and camera man K.V.Anand,ARR's music, all are best except shankar's screenplays. The most important part of the film is last half an hour where Rajni comes as an motta boss(Style style thaan),by which the film totally saves.Treat for Rajni fans but Shankar needs to improve.

I was curious to see Superstar Rajinikanth movie after 2 years. When its the combo of Rajini-Shankar-AR my expectation was beyond the limits, trust me guys it were all fulfilled. Action scenes, Songs, Puch-dialouges, each and every frame of the movie was spectacular, no words to describe. Especially for the ORU-KUDAI (Style) song it was a total surprise. Shankar transformed our thalaivar in to a white man using CG, this the first time in the history of cinema world anything happened like this. Hats off to shankar for his creative thinking! Rajini proved that he is the only Superstar and no one can beat him ever.On the whole Sivaji is Rajini's Best. It is like the 8th wonder of the world to me. ROCKING!!!
