The Boss is back!!!

Sivaji-the boss is an "outright" entertainer.Though its not Shanker's best and its off d' same formula its still widely entertaining. Firstly we'll move on to our only "superstar"RAJNI..he's 56 and still energetic and he walks d' same as v used to c him in his 30's.His style rocks as usual.I can tell u all that shanker has exploit'd Rajni to d' max.The climax scene where he comes in his Bald look actually is really really awesome and his body language is what you call the real STYLE!!!. NOW to Shreya.She's homely and cute pls forget that in all the song sequences otherwise she looks homely in saris.Her voice sync. is pretty bad. Vivek as Rajni's uncle(mama)carries the movie very well.He adds more spice.The comedy scenes are very well reached especially where he delivers PUNCH dialouges.And Rajni along with him ROCKS!!!.He's one of finest actors who's got that body language for comedy. Now move on to the negatives.The story is'nt impressive and its not Shanker's best.You feel shanker has lost his magic and he lavishly wastes money on very silly things.The climax is'nt impressive too.It looks like Shanker dint know how to finish the movie.And the car fight seq. is pretty hilarious at the end. But on the whole as a commercial movie..SIVAJI-THE BOSS rocks!!!It's got everything for a box-office hit(a smashing hit!!).It's a Rajni film more than Shanker's.So for all die-had fans of Rajni it's a massive treat.For shanker's fans its a bit disappointment but lets wait for his next venture "ROBO".
