Sivaji The Boss Review


The South Indian Super Star Rajinikanth…
The Master Film Maker Shankar…
The Musical Maestro A R Rahman…
The Biggest South Indian Banner AVM…
The Glossy Camera Of K V Anand…
The Most Eagerly Awaited Film Of Tamil Cinema…
The Most Expensive Film (Approximately 150 Crores) Of Asia…

Keeping all these facts in my mind, Here I am trying to review this feature film…

There are Film Makers who you either love to see their films or you hate to see their films. But you really cannot ignore their films. Director Shankar is one such Film Maker.

Shankar earlier made films such as Humse Hai Muqabla, Jeans, Hindustani, Nayak, Aparichit and this time Sivaji-The Boss. All his earlier films spoke about the corruptions and bad politics in India. This time too, He brings in a subject that talks about the corrupt system in India.

Sivaji (Rajinikanth) returns to Chennai from USA with a dream to build a Medical University called Sivaji Foundation where the open heart surgery treatment will be given to poor people at a very low cost. Hearing this Adiseshan (Suman) gets irritated because his own Medical Institute will be nowhere.

Sivaji has to go through all the corrupt politicians to pass his plans of making the Sivaji Foundation. Adiseshan then uses his dirty politics to ruin him and becomes successful in doing so.

Sivaji then makes a plan to bounce back by robbing all the politicians black money and turning that money in his foreign account as a Donation for Sivaji Foundation and fights the evil adiseshan.

Performance wise Rajinikanth is at first rate. The new look of rajinikanth has become a craze among his fans. The Bald Look is also widely appreciated and accepted. The film belongs to Rajinikanth all the way. Suman as Adiseshan is also brilliant. Vivek is very good as the young uncle of Rajinikanth. He gets equal scope to perform. Shriya looks gorgeous and performs her part well. (Late) Raghuvaran has only four scenes to his part.

The film belongs to typical Shankar genre. Shankar again tries to tell a story of a man harassed by dirty politics and wants to change everything to make a better India. The story telling and direction is just brilliant, But there are Loop Holes in the movie that cannot be ignored. But it said that while watching a Rajinikanth movie, You must ignore everything. Musically all songs are foot tapping, Very well executed and picturised and already became chart busters in Tamilnadu. The camera work and expensive sets (Totta Tharani) are a treat to watch.

Every scene speaks the detail and amount of hard work that has gone into it.

Do yourself a favor! Watch Sivaji-The Boss!!
