Gossip: Mallika Sherawat Has A Son!!

This is the fresh grapevine from reliable sources. Hot babe Mallika Sherawat is not a virgin. She was blessed with a son little while ago and he is there in Hyderabad as of now. But he was never brought into media to safeguard Mallika’s sexy sizzling image. This news is quivering the hearts of many of her lusty fans. How could she maintain such sleek tummy and slim posture despite being a Mom of a boy?! She must be given bigger credit than that of Rekha.

Shivaji Tamil Review(from a fan) !!

(from a friend)
Jus back after watching Sivaji in Singapore FDFS at GV Yishun.

Awesome performance by Rajini. Looking younger by decades as though travelled by a time machine, Superstar looks ravishing and has given out a spell binding performance. In his Motta role, he even makes us forget the La ka la ka la ka…… He is an epitome of style and his walks and his mannerisms have been captured in a fan like style by Shankar. Shankar is a master in bringing out social issues through his script and packaging it in a commercial way. The message in the movie and the final slides on the screen as names roll by is something every Indian would dream for.

The songs picturisation has always been Shankar’s forte and he proves that again. Ballelakka has Nayantara looking soooo hot and the scenes are so pleasing to the eyes. Sahara and the glass tower looks ravishing and Shreya is SUPER DUPER HOT in Vaaji Vaaji song. Athiradee and Style song is every RAJINI fan’s dream come true. Wonderful use of CG in both the songs. Shankar or ARR has been so clever in using the Sega Fightaa song — Hats off

Rahman’s songs have already stuck on to the top of the charts and would sure stay on for some more time with the visuals out now. He has done a wonderful work with the BGM and esp Blaaze proves why he is Rahman’s favorite. The BGM music which resembles one of the songs is too good to hear.
Sujatha’s dialogues is another strength to the movie. Scene where Suman makes fun of Rajini is another gem by Sujatha. Magic with little words and its Sujatha for you.

Heroines in Rajini and Shankar movies have always been mostly for glamour. Here too Shreya fits the bill perfectly and does a fantastic job at that. In addition she does have some scenes to prove her acting and she does a good job. Vivek’s rockbottom career is going to be revived with this movie where he is there with Rajini in most of the scenes. Office Room comedy scenes and La Ka La Ka scenes STAND OUT!! still laughing thinking about them. …. He even has a couple of punch dialogues

Suman has been a revelation in terms of Villain. Speaking fewer words and with no over the board shouting, he has done a wonderful job and looks menacing. The confrontation scenes b/w Rajini and Suman are a highlight of the movie.

Style song and Adhiradee song graphics are top class (Both are fantasy songs and they sure have unrealistic sequences which is why you have CG in the first place) Other than that, not much of CG in the movie.

As for the minus points in the movie, there is one scene with Shreya and train which is kinda unbelievable. There are slides which are put as the names roll by and they ought to have been included before that coz some people may miss that.

In Singapore theatre we had atleast 20% of crowd as women and everyone enjoyed the movie thoroughly. Throughout the first half and almost half of second half (not sequentially) it was sprinkled with lots of humour ala Rajini Style. Sivaji — Pera ketta chumma Adhirudhilla……..

Facts about Rajani's Shivaji

Here are some interesting facts about Rajnikant's Sivaji ..........

1. Director Shankar used 2500 junior artists for the introduction scene of Rajnikant.
2. A huge set of glass house was built to shoot Sahana song.
3. 4K DI (Digital Intermediate) digital camera is used for the first time in India for this film.
4. Helium Balloon light is used to shoot a song. The crew has to use 13 helium cylinders for the lighting.
5. The team of Shankar saw important footages of most of Rajnikant’s films since his debut in 1975. They found that Rajnikant looked best in Padikkadavan (1985) film. Then Shankar summoned the make-up artist to come up with a similar hairdo for Rajnikant 22 years later.
6. Rajnikant donned 15 different hair styles for this film. He also tonsured his head and shaven off his mustache for a get-up in this film. A make-up artist from France is flown in for this purpose.
7. A few songs of this film are shot in USA and Sapin.
8. Soundarya - daughter of Rajnikant - supervised the 600 scenes of Computer Graphics work that lasts for 50 minutes in this film. It took over an year to do this CG work.
9. Bellamkonda Suresh is said to have bought the Telugu remake rights (excluding satellite, overseas, ringtones, audio etc) for a whopping 14 crores. It is also learnt that this film is sold for 20 crores in AP (4 crores for Ceded, 6.75 crores for Nizam and 9 crores from Andhra).

Shivaji Tamil Review1

~~ Sivaji : 99% Style 1% Substance ~~

When you are in a Rajini movie, you have to make certain allowances. Logic is usually the first victim to take a heavy beating. Common Sense follows next. Successful Rajini movies don’t aim high in terms of technology, story, logic and themes. They keep it simple and reduce the dependence on logic. Such movies progress smoothly using a nice balance of masala, comedy, songs, fan appeasement and interesting confrontations. It is not that Rajini is incapable of doing better. But he is a prisoner of his own image. Much like the bribery-capitation fee cycle that he tries to eliminate in this movie - The cost of a Rajinikanth project is high - the capitation fee is a compromise in logic, subtlety etc so that lowest common denominator among fans is appeased. You don’t need special intelligence to understand Annamalai or Padaiyappa. Just some basic sensibility towards human emotions is enough. Should the fact that this is a Shankar movie make things different? Should there be some expectation of logic, depth and surprise elements?

It is tempting to think Shankar and Rajini are made for each other. Rajinikanth thrives on the formula where an honest rich man is duped, becomes poor and later fights his way back to richness and glory. The simple message being ‘Good Triumphs’. Shankar thrives on revenge stories, where a common man is harmed by the evils of society, becomes poor/loses something, and uses unconventional methods to teach values and fights his way back to glory (Gentleman, Indian, Anniyan and to some extent Mudhalvan). The simple message being - ‘Honesty is the best policy’. Sivaji is a perfect marriage of these two formulas. Does it work though? Shankar in the past has shown tremendous depth in story telling and details. But he is not subtle a’la Manirathnam. His logic is sketchy and over-the-top. He is more raw. But still makes purists happy. So when Rajini and Shankar combine, Shankar could have gone for story depth and made purists happy. Shankar could have gone for style and made Rajini Fans happy. Or better he could have gone for the jugular by trying to do both and make everybody happy. Usually when someone tries to go for the third alternative they unknowingly open up a fourth - which is get stuck in the middle and go nowhere. Sivaji is a movie where shankar’s and Rajini’s negative aspects add instead of subtracting each other. Shankar wants to have some depth in story line, but then remembers that this is a Rajini movie, so he tries to keep it simple and starves the story. So we get an emaciated story that is too weak for Rajini to carry on his head. However, for a Shankar movie - the twins - story and masala are like belt and suspenders. When the story fails, masala delivers and vice versa. In Sivaji, the masala delivers.

Shankar usually builds a movie like a chemical potion. It’s a carefully built formula with preset ingredients. There is a social message, good songs with creative picturization, comedy, technology gimmicks, surprising twists, creative story line, unusual characters, interesting details, revenge sub-plot, and violence. He lines them up in perfect proportions and scales all these things up with ‘brahmandam’. Money is lavishly spent to bloat up each ingredient to enormous proportions. So that if one fails the other ingredient can somehow help the movie. Jeans is a good example of a Shankar movie which had several main ingredients (like story etc) that were dead on arrival and some that were at best unusual. But the formula helped the movie cross the ‘pass’ mark. Boys didn’t have even those ‘helper’ entities. Whereas in Gentleman, Indian, Kadhalan, and Mudhalvan almost every ingredient worked. Sivaji is neither here nor there. If not for Shankar’s broad and all-encompassing formula with a lot of masala buttressing to protect the movie from failure, this movie would have been a sure goner. Basically - Shankar’s plan A, which is the main story/content, failed and his spare bag of tricks in the form of Plan B helped this movie work to some extent. You could also say that Rajini’s plan A worked and plan B didn’t. Sivaji is better than Baba, which is not saying much. Overall, I felt it was a better movie than Chandramukhi. But I doubt if it has the X-factor that Chandramukhi had.

The story/depth part is the weakest in Sivaji. Sivaji is a returning NRI with intentions of providing free education and medical facilities for the poor. He does not explain how that business model will work but says he has shit load of money that can pay the medical bills of everybody. He faces opposition in the form of bribe-seeking government officials and influential competitors. Reduced from riches to rags, how he achieves his goal forms the rest of the movie. Shreya, an extremely hot (red red hot) babe is his love interest. Typical of Rajini heroines, she is ‘pothikinu’ dressed during the movie and ‘avuthikinu’ dressed in the songs. Shankar has just one trick in the story department. Sivaji’s idea to convert black money to white money. That is it. Everything else - what the Sivaji foundation does, how it helps people, his growth, his nature of help towards the poor is all fluffed up. Not explained. No time is spent on the meat part. You are basically told - ’sivaji does something good - don’t bother with the details - just know that he did some good and people like him now. ok bye’.

The logical/ common sense elements in this movie will not pass the scrutiny of even a complete Rajini fanatic. It is all right to say that one should not expect logic in a Rajini movie. But at least something should make sense. Firstly, NRIs who are senior software architects will not be worth 200 crores. It’s inconceivable. Secondly, meeting Suman, ministers, government officials etc is not so easily possible for common man turned rich NRI. Thirdly, the ministers/political people in this movie are vague. Suman ridiculously changes the ministry by snapping his fingers. We do not know if any one of the caricatured ministers who appear in this movie is a Chief Minister or not. Fourth, the love segment with Shreya is complete nonsense. That part is so over the top that it’s not even worth spending time criticizing. Finally, Sivaji drags people (auditors, drivers, Thalsildars) into his ‘office’, beats them, stabs ministers and stitches them up instantly. This is clearly nonsense and could have been done better. But I have questions. For what purpose? How is he not challenged by other rowdy elements, government, CBI, police etc? All these things basically add up and say - there is no real story but just a semblance of it. The ’social’ aspect is there as a puppet with no real impact. Shankar is usually very good in showcasing the exact nature of social evils. Be it corruption, capitation fee, money laundering - he picks a department and shows in great detail, the effects of it on a common man. The plight of public suffering is well brought out. The small, small details that Shankar provides are usually very interesting and engaging. So even if Shankar leaves gaping holes in logic, which he usually does, it is covered by his excellence in other departments. Here things are kept at such a superficial level that you don’t connect with the movie at all. The CPR revival is a glaring example.

Is there any redeeming aspect to this movie? Shankar has essentially assembled an A list technical team of Indian cinema. K.V.Anand, Anthony, and Rahman are pretty much the best in the business. They help. All the teeny weenie bits of masala items that Shankar adds as just-in-case works. Vivek’s comedy is funny. The punch lines are awesome. The part where Rajini whitens himself is ‘asattu thanam’ and unnecessary but comedy for the most part is very good. There are some very good surprise elements too in this department, which was delightful. Songs & Picturization. I did not like the introduction SPB song. The video made it slightly bearable (but not pictured as well as its Shankar counterparts ‘Andan Kaakha’ or ‘Aazhagaana Rakshasi’ ). ‘Oru Koodai Sunlight’ is an excellent song, the best song in Sivaji, well picturized but in a poor context. The blonde hair looks ridiculous. I was hoping they wouldn’t use it on ‘oru koodai sunlight’ and spoil it. They did. ‘Sivaji’ ‘Athiradi’ and ‘Saahara’ songs are actually well picturized. Special mention needs to be made on ‘Athiradi’ song. Its mind blowing. This song alone is worth the price of the entry ticket. I can’t think of a Rajini or a Shankar song that has a better picturization than this. The stunt scenes have been choreographed very well. Some of them are really impressive. The bullet-time sequences have been done with a touch of style and class. However, in a lot of sequences they are speeded up or jazzed up by some flashy camera work to cover for Rajini’s age. The climax scene is the only exception. When those trademark zoom-ins and zoom outs happen, which don’t until well into the second half, you know editor Anthony is saying ‘hi’. This fellow is very impressive.

It would be unfair if I did not talk about the way Rajini and his style carried this movie single handedly. In all honesty Shankar failed in his department but did the ‘Rajini’ aspect some justice. The stylized way in which Rajini pops in a bubble gum, the way he moves the 1 Rupee coin is all pure class. Only Rajini can do this. It’s fun to watch also. Somehow the heart warms up to Rajini. You feel for him, when shreya spurns him. ‘Charm’ is an underrated word. Especially when the Rajini charm works on you like magic. The ‘mottai’ boss morpheus-look-alike aspect is the biggest surprise and the highest point of the movie. If not for that segment, I would have left the theater completely let down. Just watch this movie for ‘rajini style’ and you’ll know what I am talking about. While Rahman has adequately changed the ’super star’ title segment, the actual introduction scene of Rajinikanth is a letdown. A risk, which if it works is awesome. In this case it is a costly mistake. Sivaji starts on an unconventional and deflated note. Usually a good rajini movie hits a high note and keeps going to higher places without letting up. This movie stumbles, stops and hiccups its way to the interval. You can usually say when something is amiss. The small parts look okay individually but there is no overall cohesion. While I couldn’t put a finger to it, I could sense that whatever this movie was doing - a formulaic once-every-3-minute round robin switch to Sivaji’s social work, suman, rajini-shreya love, rajini vivek comedy - it was not gelling well. The pace was all right and it was hitting some formula but it was not engaging. The movie improved dramatically in the second half. To me the second half was much better than the first. However, Shankar shows no intention of getting into details. Instead he chooses to spend time on stupid truck-jeep based fight scenes in a drive-in theater.

There were many points in the movie where I felt ‘wow’ and many other points where I felt ‘what could have been’. I wish Rajini had accepted the Mudhalvan script. It had a story. Keeping Sivaji’s story under-cover must have been easy for Shankar. It has no story.
