Review of Sivaji

Sivaji (2007)
7/10
Its out and out Rajini movie don't expect to find Shankar
20 June 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I saw the movie first day first show in UK.

Even though the movie is worth seeing once just for the last 15 mins alone, i wudn't rate this movie more than 6-7 out of 10.

These are the +ve points about the movie:

1. Athiradi song - is real Athiradi. Awesome. 2. Last 15 mins of Rajini - Mind blowing. 3. Vaaji song - great sets and picturisation. 4. Vivek Comedy 5. Sheriya looks sexy in songs. 6. Overall Rajini's acting, not that we haven't seen it before.

-Ve points:

1. Intro song poorly conceptualised and executed. Doesn't gel with the movie. It will never be talked in the same breadth as say 'Autokaran' or 'Devuda'. 2. Not-effective villain. 3. Dragging at some scenes. 4. Very poor script and screenplay. 5. CPR related scenes towards the end defies logic.

Overall, the movie failed to live to huge expectations from a cinegoer point of view. But for a die-hard fan of Rajini, it has everything.

In other words, its like watching sachin scoring a ultra speed 50 with top class strokes, when you expect him to score a match winning 100.
