Sivaji the boss - Movie Review


SIVAJI THE BOSS - MOVIE REVIEW

HE SAID:

I am sorry, but I am not buying the hype and the box office success. This is a blatant attempt to pull a MGR. It is a clear attempt to brainwash the masses into helping with Rajinikanth enter politics. The lyrics in the song Balailaka actually talks about him not forgetting the Kaveri issue, which had been a debacle for him. It goes on to state that if he (annan) comes to Tamil Nadu, it will become America.

We can only hope that the audience of today is not as gullible as the ones who watched MGR movies in the yesteryears and voted for him. Other than the political aspect of this movie, it is just a normal potboiler. There is nothing remarkable about it.

The songs are very good. Rajinikanth looks every bit of his age. He looks really tired. It is amazing that he goes through all those strenuous moves at his age. Shreya is wooden and lacks much of any expression. Vivek is the winner. He gets great exposure on a really big stage along side the Super Star. This should be really good for his career. A surprising winner is Solomon Pappiah, who has shined as the next door neighbor of Shreya.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 5.

SHE SAID:

I liked the movie very much. It is highly entertaining and builds on the success of Chandramukhi. The topic of this movie is very current, when most NRIs especially from America are trying to come back and do something for the country.

A brilliant performance by Rajini. I hope we can be half as active at his age. Shreya is dull. I have no idea why people find her beautiful.

A very good family entertainer with excellent songs and great locations.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 7.
