This movie is just Rajini-show all the way through, fighting corruption with his unique style and mannerism,this is surely a win-win situation for the Superstar and Shankar.This is definitely not Shankar's best,movies like Indian and MUDHALVAN were better when it came to showing real life events real,nevertheless this is just pure entertainment.The supporting casts such as Vivek,Shriya and Suman the villain did a tremendous job.The villain had a special makeover which removes him from his original face,brilliant make ups,magnificent cinematography,not A.R Rahman's best work,but certainly a good soundtrack and there were many songs which became big hits,overall a huge family entertainer and corruption fighter.Lets fight corruption in style,SUPERSTYLE...

I know people love Rajini, i know people love Sivaji because it is tailor-made for Rajini fans with style, and i know Shankar's product has given more grandeur to Rajini's superstar status. I could rate this movie higher because i did enjoy the fun element in it, but i guess my expectations were way above this. Well, why shouldn't they be high? Th director is Shankar, and the last thing i expected is for him to come with a wafer-thin storyline (the story's no show at all). Next is two disturbing facts. As a movie-goer of Tamil films, i'm getting concerned because of Shriya's inclusion in this movie. She, i have to say, is crap. She is not a proper actress, and the biggest problem, she only has skin show and can't modulate in Tamil. Tamil cinema will only progress further if they start paying respect to their own language and start at least hire actresses who can modulate the language properly, instead of giving tax exemptions to Tamil titles. Secondly, this is the MOST expensive Tamil movie ever to date (Dasavatharam is more expensive, and will take over once it releases), so what if an avid movie-goer asks 'what is the most expensive movie you guys ever made?'. I'd have to show him or her 'Sivaji', which by production, theme, storyline, and quality, and even performance, is not at all a good movie. This is not a movie that can make an Indian hold his head high up and shut the mouths of Westeners who stereotype us as being unable to make real quality products. It's like Shankar flushed all the 70 crores given to him? Where is the money gone? Songs of course...

I've waited 3 long months just to watch this movie and from all the records it was breaking, day by day, my expectations were sky-rocketing. But when i watched the movie just a few days back, i was REALLY blown. I personally liked Aparichithudu a lot better than Sivaji because of better screenplay, story, and music. I expected Shankar to do better than Aparichithudu but he failed to do so. The sole plus of this film is RAJNI ALL THE WAY!!!!! Be it dances (give him a break, he is around 58) or fights, he performed really good. Especially scenes when he enacted NTR, ANR, and Chiranjeevi. Fights were OK (i liked the way they were shot on steadicam). Music by Rehman sucked BIG TIME! Cinematography was excellent. Like i said, Shankar disappointed big time with a weak screenplay but it is ONLY RAJNI who carries the film.

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!!!
