Sivaji: He Came, He Saw, He Conquered

Sivaji: He Came, He Saw, He Conquered
Galatta [September 22, 2007, 12:22:36 AM]

Boss... Mottai Boss, the crowd rejoices as 'Thalaivar' Rajinikanth drums adeptly on his shining bald pate.

Rajinikanth-Shriya starrer Sivaji has gone above all remarks and reviews applied to adorn its success. The success is much bigger than anticipated; it beggars description and is felt all over the world, wherever the movie has been released.

Today, the movie completes its 100-day run, in 111 theatres in India. It is also completing 100 days in six theatres in Malaysia, two in Sri Lanka and one in Singapore. Of course, this is a minor statistic as it goes towards 200 days, 300 days.

Sivaji received the highest acclaim and rave reviews from media and the critics. The public, of course, cannot get enough of Sivaji. We have all heard of tickets being sold for astronomical amounts during the first weeks of its release.

Though the making of Sivaji took two long years, the fans endured it, getting back after making his earlier movie Chandramukhi a runaway hit. Though 'Thalaivar' created the intense magnetism of Sivaji, the combination of Rajni, Shankar, AVM Productions and A.R. Rahman has made it even more of a crowd-puller.

Sivaji has brought us a Rajni with a glowing youthful look, along with his punch-dialogues, startling stunt sequences and a formidable theme that has always been Rajni's style. We even have a Rajni who is fair like a European! The story is simple and is a Shankar and Rajini special. It is the story of a man who battles against all evils, uses his money, wit and skills to do good for the people. His transformation and transition to achieve them form the focal point of the movie.

Suman, the debonair villain of Sivaji, with his toothy smile (with a yellow tooth fixed purposely!) plays the harsh villain, Adhiseshan. The audience feels contented when he meets his end in the film, crushed by a stampede trying to collect his ill-gotten wealth which is cascading around them.

Vivek has excelled in his comedy throughout the movie. He plays Arivu, a close ally and confidant of Rajinikanth and sometimes takes over, redoing Rajni's punch lines to stun the viewers.

The magnificent Shriya Saran is Rajini's pair in Sivaji. As Tamilselvi, she excels. But Rajni too looks fit and youthful as her companion.

There are action and special effects galore in Sivaji. The songs have become the hottest picks with mass appeal! The collections from the sale of Sivaji-based ring tones is greater than the total sale proceeds from many movies' music tracks!

There are a lot of inquiries for the rights to dub the film in Malay, Chinese and Japanese. The movie is also in the process of getting dubbed in Hindi, slated for a post-Diwali release. Rajini has shot a few extra scenes for the Hindi version.

Plans are made to celebrate the 100-day run. The producers have not made any grand plans as they confidently expect the movie to go on, breaking already set records. Rajinifans.com, a website dedicated to Rajinikanth, has planned to celebrate the occasion in a grand manner outside theatres in Bangalore and Malaysia. Sweets and food packets will be distributed; fans have plans to go for another round of viewing and blowing non-stop whistles.

Nostalgia and pure excitement envelops us as we in Galatta.com, discuss and reminisce about our association with Sivaji and the Boss Rajinikanth. Galatta.com ran a contest in and issued tickets for the preview. The contest is still kept running to match the enthusiasm that audience show. Galatta Cinema, the print version, has received appreciation and a fond pat in the back from the 'Great Hero' for its news and reach. The July issue of the magazine carried exclusives about the movie and its making.

To sum it up, Sivaji is one of those remarkable saga
