COOL!!

The title could well be related only by the ones who have watched "The BOSS". Highly frustrated having missed the golden opportunity of premiering "Sivaji - The BOSS" (despite having got two preview tickets), on account of my stay at Coimbatore; was in all smiles upon getting an invite from my current official BOSS for the dharshan at Udayam on the second day of its release.

Missed the first 10 minutes due to a miscommunication in the show timing. But that was not a barrier to the enthusiasm, energy and happiness that oozed in me seeing thalaivar on screen. If am not exaggerating, I see atleast 5 more films left in his bag, if he retains the same make-up man and the costume designer.

Intentionally leaving the story line untouched, would like to bring the following highlights of the movie to notice:

* Less of punch dialogues by thalaivar, but is offset by Vivek's outburst in a sequence, where the theatre just shakes in pulsation
* A neat description of an NRI, as against a few other tamil movies where the hero just aims at non-stop PETERing. First time in thalaivar's movie history, he apologises in English to his parents saying "Sorry ma, Sorry pa"
* Bubble gum in place of his usual cigar.
* No better an actor other than Suman would have fit into that villain role. The fair, hefty body with a perfect attire did the trick.
* Picturisation of "Style" and "Athiradi" - Find myself wanting of words to describe the impact.
* Sure, would bet, had someone other than thalaivar featured in "Athiradi" song, it would have ended a big comedy. But having thalaivar, it has ended as the best song picturised in the entire movie.
* Awesome BGM, not only whenever Rajni rocks the screen, but also when Suman tries the silent killing, showcases that Rahman is still one of the bests in the business.
* Vivek not only manages to provide the bursting laughters, but also provides the support role amply.
* The climax Rajni - A must watch. No wonder he is regarded the best when it comes in terms of exhibiting this unique trait in him - STYLE. Effortless showing off; yes, a paradox by itself.

One thing that might have been avoided in this otherwise perfect Rajni starrer is the slightly overdosed chasing of Shreya by thalai. But the director might well have his reason of justifying to include the same anticipating the family crowd that might have wanted some comedy & sentiments. Sankar once again exhibits his uncanny knack of unearthing blockbuster hits.

Though might not say "Sivaji" as The Best of Super Star (as expressed in my previous write up), would definitely say it as One of his bests...

Tail piece: Managed to see the first 10 minutes today, as today was my second SIVAJI dharshan in two days...
