    • Trivia
      As of July 2007, "Shivaji" is highest grossing Tamil movie ever. It grossed 100 crores (1 billion) Indian rupees in it's third weekend. First Tamil film and non-Hindi Indian movie to gross 100 crores and also the fastest Indian movie to gross that much.
    • Goofs
      In the scene at the open air movie theatre, Sivaji is seen in a Toyota Land Cruiser with his wife. When he has a "car fight" with the goons, the car changes to a Mahindra Scorpio towards the end.
    • Quotes

      Shivaji: BOSS.

      Mama: Bachelor Of Social Service.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK cinema version was cut by 13 secs by the BBFC to remove a scene where Shivaji lights and spits out a firework in order for the film to receive a 12 certificate. The DVD release restores the scene and was upgraded to an 18.

    sivaji,not a shankar'
    sivaji is a visual treat for all rajni lovers and unfortunately not shankar'.you can see the technical brilliance handled lavishly as in all other shankar films.social messages were good,but the director has not worked to remove the flaws in the story.usually his stories are uncommon and the flaws in those films cannot be seen until you think on it.sivaji is an exception-common story even though he has tried to create an awareness on a hidden social cause,flaws show themselves clearly in the story.

    inspite of this the film has an enormous response only because of rajni!one and only rajni! Every frame of the film has been done grandly.good work by the film crew.screenplay is fast.songs were rich and stylish.

    if shankar had satisfied for the flaws in the film,the world would have turned on him in appreciation.
