I am doing good..hope things are going great at your end..lemme see u in your blog..<BR/><BR/>Saw Sivaji finally yesterday (they had reduced the prices in second week to 10$).Had to contend with Rajni's lack of strong voice, horrible tamil pronounciation but there were flashes of Old Rajni and "mottai boss" sealed the deal for me...atleast it showed Rajni is trying something new even though he is not able to pull it off..i guess people will throng(including me) purely for nostalgia...RamaDramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240849404516939662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19497251.post-33032277407378395072007-07-06T18:49:00.000-04:002007-07-06T18:49:00.000-04:00*grin* What a fun post and love the comments.

So, i guess Sivaji wrapper is a bonus compared to that...:) Anything that is hyped beyond proportion (Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham, Salaam-e-ishq etc.) is bound to fall flat..but then..who expects a story/flow/tight screenplay in Rajni movies ? Thanks for the highlights..now the hope of decent story flow(since Shankar did a decent job with Mudhalvan and Indian) will not be there and i can enjoy only for "Thalaivar"!RamaDramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240849404516939662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19497251.post-78490742459122864132007-06-18T13:44:00.000-04:002007-06-18T13:44:00.000-04:00Rama, Sorry if you are a hardcore Rajni fan.

Some "theevira Rajni rasikars" in the movie theater seemed to enjoy the film.<BR/><BR/>The thing is: this is like very well-packaged expensive candy with 0.002 bite of candy inside. Packaging is great. But you can't eat the candy wrapper :). <BR/><BR/>Blow by blow:<BR/><BR/>Gravity-defying action sequences - yes<BR/>"Super figuru" heroine :): Yes<BR/>Vivek Comedy: Good one-liners<BR/>Lots of money spent: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...er, LOTS<BR/>Villain: stylish<BR/>Rajni style: as usual<BR/><BR/>But the comedy involving Rajni is hodgepodge, the flow keeps getting interrupted and you forget the whole point and after a while, you don't care.<BR/><BR/>Vivek's one-liners are good. You come out bedazzled by Shriya's costumes. But the disappointment of not getting much remains.<BR/><BR/>You don't go to Rajni or Shankar movies expecting much of a story. But you expect it to flow.<BR/><BR/>Sivaji to me looked like high-tech junk. Costly sets, expensive costumes, Rajni style coin tosses, a pretty heroine plus Vivek - hmmm should've added up to a watchable movie but doesn't. Lesser budget films like Muthu, Padayappa and Chandramukhi were much better.<BR/><BR/>Priya.Priyamvada_Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797797769716970487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19497251.post-23825441701091059932007-06-18T09:16:00.000-04:002007-06-18T09:16:00.000-04:00WHOA!

Serious suggestion! This movie is a serious blow-up of crores and crores of money....I can't believe Shankar spent this much money on such utter $%^&. No story, no flow at all whatsoever. Its not son of the soil theme (?!). Its not a fantasy. Its not a vigilante story. Its not interesting - very puerile stuff. Words fail me.<BR/><BR/>Watch it if you're a hardcore Rajni fan. Shriya is very pretty and has a great figure. She comes in some interesting but not too revealing costumes. That's it.<BR/><BR/>I'd say donate $20 to a charity of your choice, and download Shriya stills from the internet if you wish. I wish to be paid for the 3 wasted hours...huh.<BR/><BR/>Priya.Priyamvada_Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797797769716970487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19497251.post-40940846843324128992007-06-15T11:40:00.000-04:002007-06-15T11:40:00.000-04:00Hi Rama, Things are going well.

I agree that this time, they went overboard on the prices..but then..i dont think the audience can take a high moral ground on this issue esp. when they are downloading and watching pirated dvds.
