Rajni fever

June 19th, 2007 · 17 Comments

Yes, you guessed it right. After Rajni mania, it ought to be fever. What else do you expect? There is some magic stuff that Rajni does that sweeps us off our feet!

Ok ok ok. Let us come to reality. Our trusted mechanic, a former mechanic of the Superstar, helped us get tickets to the second day night show at Baby Albert theatre in Egmore. So I actually got myself to watch Superstar earlier than I thought.

In fact the first time I watched it, I agreed with him and him too. But then what happened means you know there were three tickets available for Monday at Mayajaal. I had this secret desire to go and watch it again in a good theatre with a good audio system to enjoy the music! So I went along for the Mayajaal show too.

My friends who watched it with me for the first time praised my courage. But I was clear in my objective you see! ;) But I couldn’t believe it when I started enjoying the movie like hell. I found myself whistling and clapping at the same moments I had found repelling a couple of days earlier. I have never experienced this before. Probably the Superstar magic! I not knowings! :) But super enjoyment! And finally the result was this!

PS: This also proves my theory that where you watch a movie matters!

Adi this means you dint understand the movie the first time you saw it in Albert and you are putting the blame on the theatre ;-)

the fans helped me sit through the first half. Second half, they made it slightly enjoyable.

Adi,
I read the reviews in the links in this post as well as yours in AOL. One thing is for sure - Rajni (& Sivaji) seem to evoke extreme responses. It is incredible that your own response went from possibly one extreme to the other.
I think it might also be the type of expectations with which one goes to watch the movie. Your expectations the second time around might have been rock bottom!
Need to see it. Thanks for the review - was nice reading it. Maybe a disclaimer similar to the one on the music of Sivaji might have been warranted on the AOL piece too! ;-)

Kirthana:
Well, sometimes somethings happen!:) Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong! We will never know!

Vatsan:
Now the same fans don’t seem to be quite helping you! :)

MP:
Truly incredible to myself looking at my reactions!
LOL @ the suggestion to add the disclaimer! Will do that next time.

RK:
Glad you liked it! :) Thanks!

Brilliant review without a hint of sycophancy.
Well done!

this is called ’stockholm syndrome” ;-)

A balance review. Liked the style.

Hmm… nice review.
I don’t think i will be watching the movie so the reviews did help me to get an insight about the whole “Sivaji” mania!!!

Viky:
Kadalur to Katpadi,
Sivaji adichaan Dead body!! :D

Anand Balaji:
Thanks! You have always been generous!

Bachodi:
;-) Good one!

Pradeep:
Thanks!

Pixie:
Thanks, but why not watching? What’s the problem?

Not too much of a movie buff…
The only movie on my list now is Ocean’s 13…
And I don’t understand the language!
Pixie // Jun 26, 2007 at 12:58 am

I meant Tamil! ;-) - the language I don’t understand or follow…
Mysorean // Jun 26, 2007 at 2:07 am

Pixie:
Got it. If you aren’t a movie buff, then please DO NOT even venture near the theatre playing “Sivaji”, because you might be pulled in by the charm of our Superstar! LOL! :D

I watched it in the first week too :)

My first ever Tamil movie, that of Rajinikanth and that too with the feverish nerve!!

Well…thats me… I enjoyed the movie, though felt the first half was dragged out of proportions, it was a good watch. Heavily loaded with entertainment element!!

Good review of this movie, saar. :-)
Jeevan // Jul 13, 2007 at 6:15 am

Glad you enjoyed the Shivaji. Athuruthula:)
