Video Song of the day : Athiradee from Sivaji

Movie : Sivaji
Starring : SuperStar Rajnikanth, Shriya, Suman
Directed by : Shankar
Music : A.R.Rahman
A vivaciously vibrant song from Sivaji. With Rajni's cheerful styles and Shriya's gorgeous looks this song would definitely top the charts for a while. Thotta Tharani's recreation of Venice needs a special mention. A.R.Rahman's catchy tune and Shankar's creativity makes this one a great composition!

Sivaji Review

There is no spoiler alert for this review since I'm not going to discuss about the story. If you are looking for a full-time entertainer, watch Sivaji, an action based family entertainer. It is sure to win audiences of all ages! The first half is full of humor and love while the second half is packed with great action! With that being said, the entire movie swirls around one man, Rajni - The Boss!
How many days have passed since we saw Rajni in such a stylish performance! His new styles with chewing gum are cool. The good old Rajni times are back! His dialogue delivery and mannerisms are beyond comparison! Did we talk about Amitabh vs Rajni earlier? Now we have reached a conclusion!
It was good to see a huge crowd of Thalaivar's fans in the US. It was like a festival! A.R.Rahman's music rhythms well with the story and he has used different background scores throughout the movie! Even the original soundtrack for SuperStar title has changed! Songs fit just right into the movie! Every song has a theme and the sets are amazing! How can I not talk about "Oru Koodai Moonlight"? It has a very different theme and makeup! Athiradi song is the highlight! Watch out for his great avatars before the song!
Shriya Saran looks gorgeous and has given a splendid performance! Movie includes a long star cast but each one of them have served their purpose. Vivek's comment about punch dialogues is so true! Sujatha's dialogues are crisp. Dialogues such as "Pera ketta Chumma Athiruthula? ", "Sivajiyum Naan Thaan MGRum Naan Thaan", "Kon Hai? Boss da Kena" are worth mentioning! Shankar has fully utilized his lifetime opportunity of directing a SuperStar and has achieved great success in the process! This is a Rajni movie with Shankar's touch! Sivaji is truly "The Boss" and is sure to run successfully for another 3 years or maybe more! Watch it in theaters, don't dare to miss it!
One liner : Rajni + Shankar + A.R.Rahman = Cool Success!

Sivaji Trailer - Review

Sivaji's trailer starts as a rapid fire! In the opening sequence, editing and music has played hand in hand giving us a perfect glimpse of Rajni's multifaceted talents. The first section unwinds with Rajni exhibiting his various styles(including the famous sunglass style)! Second section portrays him as great human. Dialogues like "Panam Pona Varum, Uyir Varumanga? " and "Saakara Naal Therinjipochina Vazhra Naal Naragamayidum, Sandhoshum Thaanga Mukkiyam" are sure to touch many hearts. Third section portrays Rajini as a great Comedian. Forth section includes the theme of the movie. Rajni's makeup and hairstyles look fresh and cool. Even though the movie includes big names such as Shankar, A.R.Rahman, K.V.Anand, Sujatha, Thotta Tharani and Prabhu Deva, all I can talk about is Rajni! Sivaji is truly a One Man Show!
