Review : Sivaji (2007)



COOL - thats how the movie is.
ேபர ேகட்டவுடேன சும்மா அதுறுதுல!!!!!!

Rating : ****

I don't know whether i can express all my feelings about the movie in writing but i suggest you people that when you are going to watch the movie you have to have a different mindset.A mindset of enjoyment and telling your brain not to think that the movie sans logic.

Though the movie has unbelievable stunts which will literally make you laugh when you see any other hero performing it but don't forget that in this movie the hero is our SUPERSTAR.

The movie is fun to watch and i didn't get bored watching it 2 times in fact i have decided my third trip to the theater to watch the movie.

So i suggest you people to watch the movie in the theater and experience the ambience.

I have given a rating of 4 stars which doesn't mean that the movie deserves an oscar or any kind of award except that of "Best Hype Creator".The movie was expected with a lot of hype and our superstar doesn't fail to deliver it.He has put in his 100% efforts in order to satisfy not only his fans but also others.



Director Shankar has tried to attract the fans of two big young heroes of tamil cinema,"Ultimate Star" Ajith and "Ilayathalapathy" Vijay by rendering a famous dialogue and dancing for the hero's song respectively.

The cinematographer K.V.Anand needs an applause for his beautiful picturisation of songs and fight scenes.

Art Director Thotta Tharani's experience is seen in the movie through his sets.

The background music is just amazing.no wonder why the "ARR" tag is so valuable.

Vivek has done a fabulous job.all his dialogues got the audience laughing instead of giving an awkward look.

Shriya is the right choice for the heroine.she is so beautiful though only with make up.


NOTE: The following is just the basic storyline of the movie and doesn't reveal any other interesting sequences in the movie.

STORYLINE : Sivaji returns from USA after earning a lot of money.He is very astonished to see big buildings in Chennai but after seeing a beggar on the road,he learns that still poverty hasn't gone from India.So he invests all his money to start "Sivaji Foundations" which will run schools,hospitals,colleges,etc and provide service to people free of cost.The "king maker" of Chennai gets to know this and fears that his industries,schools,colleges will suffer badly if sivaji continues the project.So he decides to take everything from sivaji and make him come to the middle of the street(literally translated from tamil).After this whatever happens is exciting and thrilling and...... sorry no words to describe.
Why not you people watch it in the theater and find it yourself.


Verdict : Everyone is at their best in this blockbuster movie.Worth watching twice just for fun and time pass.Make sure you go to the movie with your friends so that you can enjoy it more.

Review : Pirates Of The Caribbean At World's End (2007)


ENTERTAINING BUT MAKES US THINK!

Rating : ***3/4

Genre : Action/Adventure , Sequel

Release Date : June 1 (India) , May 25 ( world wide)


This Trilogy is so far, the next best trilogy to Lord Of The Rings.It is because no one gets disappointed on seeing any of the 3 movies.

I Still don't understand why the distributors postponed the release to june 1 in India.I heard they feared of spiderman 3.but my opinion is that this movie is a 100 times better than spiderman 3 and the trilogy too is far more entertaining than spidey.

The first half was a certain drag, though there were important scenes in it.they could have edited it well or made it even more interesting.i frankly believe that it is hard to understand the movie by watching it once.though i figured it out quite properly.

The movie can't be said as a total let down but it surely entertains us to the max.

The Background score,the camera work,graphics (in the scenes of multiple jack sparrows) everything has to be given full credit.Mainly the story part,they never went out of it,stuck on to the script not showing extraordinary and unbelievable twists.

I Wonder why many people didn't come to watch it,was it due to the postponed release that many people thought of watching pirates movie in a pirated VCD/DVD.That doesn't become legal in this case.



Coming to the main person,Mr. or Capt.Jack Sparrow (Isn't that COOL),the most down to earth actor in Hollywood i have ever seen.I don't think anybody could even replace his role in the movie.I consider him as the "Kamal Hassan" of Hollywood.

The Movie is worth watching not once but more than once.(sounds awkward)

STORYLINE : I am not quite sure of it but let me not spoil your wait for watching the movie.
In few words, Capt.Jack Sparrow comes back and with a bang,new characters get introduced and existing characters get to have unforeseen "truths" in their roles.Davy Jones and his love, both are destroyed.New captain of the sea is christened (of course because of jack sparrow).And more importantly stop waiting for a fourth movie because they can't drag it anymore.


ON THE WHOLE, it is a Awesome entertainer which of course most likely cannot be watched with the whole family not only due to the scenes which run through your mind while reading these lines but also due to the violence and "yucky" characters.

FINAL VERDICT : Must watch for Johnny Depp fans

Third Best Trilogy after Lord of the Rings and The Matrix



NOTE : The following paragraph is only for the people who live in chennai and watch this movie in english and also before june 15.

And the most important thing not to miss in the movie was the trailor of our tamil "Superstar" Rajni's SIVAJI.well,we cheered for this trailer and we had plans not to miss it even before we thought of buying the tickets for the movie but then we saw it on the big screen and enjoyed it shouting to the core.we were also shown trailers of upcoming worthwatching movies such as "Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix" scheduled to release in july and also not to forget the next Disney-Pixar combine " " (sorry can't spell the movie).
