Everything
related to Sivaji is First.
First time - Rajinikanth has given close to two
years of bulk dates to a movie. First time - coming
together of Rajinikanth-Shankar-AR.Rahman trio.
First time - an Indian movie is produced for more
than 60 crores and so on…..so why not add
another first to this list…..and who else
than Team Behindwoods to do it....First time - a
review on a trailer of a movie… pera keta
vudana chumma athiruthilla...

Hair Raising – Two words to describe the
trailer.
Style, more style and power style – a
line to describe the trailer.
Let’s get one thing straight here, if
Rajinikanth is making his statement with his
legendary style, then Shankar is making his
own with his filmmaking. Trailer is a strong
indication that this movie will definitely be
a movie by Shankar for Rajini. The director
has top class lieutenants A.R.Rahman, K.V.Anand,
Sujatha, Thota Tharani and Peter Heinz to help
him in his endeavor. And if the trailer is anything
to go by, then these guys are just about to
show the world, why they are the best in the
country. Special mention about Anthony, the
wonder editor of Kollywood – he just has
delivered a peach of a trailer |

The preview has predominantly two make overs of Rajinikanth
– one with his Billa era hairdo and another
with that of Badsha era. Rendu getupillayum chumma
kalakirukaru thalaivar!! Scenes where Rajinikanth
comes with the Billa hairstyle seems to be the first
part of the movie – with lots of fun, frolic
and energy. His Badsha make over seems to be reserved
for specially taking on the baddies with vigor and
force.

First thing first, Rajinikanth’s trademark
S-U-P-E-R-S-T-A-R introduction graphics seems
to have been stylized by Shankar. The Man, the
one and only, walks into the trailer with a
chopper as his back drop with casual arrogance
and ruthless ease. Be sure to be in the theatres
– cause it’s going to be one hell
of a walk! Expect a feast of Rajinikanth’s
comedy; he seems to have stirred a riot with
Vivek. The comedian looks to be a part and parcel
of the hero through out the movie. Shreya looks
cute in whatever little portions she has come.
The stunt scenes will be a delight on a 70mm
screen. The scene where the Superstar fights
with a guitar is for his millions of fans. The
Bachelor of Social Service seems to have mouthed
lots of dialogues with heavy political overtones.
“Ithu thaan en ooru, ethukku nallathu
seiyama vidamataen.” “Naan enna
business pannava permission kaeten. Ezhaigallukku
service panrathukku ya”. |

There
are also a couple of rushes where Rajini keeps flipping
a one rupee coin. Seems to confirm a theory on the
story which goes by as a rich hero becoming pauper
with just one rupee left for himself and later rising
back from ashes - like a phoenix.
On the whole, a great show. Doesn’t matter
if he had gone to Himalayas this summer or not,
Superstar has raised the Sivaji-Fever to Himalayan
heights. “Ithu chumma trailer ma, nee
ennum main picture pakalayae”
