Sivaji, The Boss. Of Crap - The title was explosive enough..the content was even more explosive. The result - 972 comments on the blog.
Anuradha SenGupta's CNN IBN's Features Editor did the right thing to increase the popularity of the blog. Go against the tide - comments will flow in.
I would like to support her on the front that it is her personal opinion and she has every right to blog it. But she is grossly mistaken on her opinion. I have the right to say that.
Sivaji did not pretend to be a path-breaking-greatest-of-all-movies. It was promoted as an out and out Rajini film with Shankar at the helm of affairs.Shankar has delivered what was expected and Rajini was simply awesome. You are glad that u spent the 100Rs. on the ticket. And that is what a movie should be all abt.

5 years ago in a magazine cover. The devotees are a blessed lot, if the lady spits milk on them. Yuck!

Rajini Rocks
Three hours just flew by. The lethal combo of Shankar & Rajini has delivered. It is more of a vintage Rajini film...shankar has done his bit to have things scale up to Rajini's persona. If you know, what to expect of a Rajini's movie, you will not be disappointed. But it is high time, Shankar takes on some other genre.The first half belongs to vivek (fresh lease of life for him). The second half has Rajini in full form. Rajini simply pumps adrenaline as Motta Boss. I particularly appreciate the fact that the super star doesn't carry a super-ego - he is at ease when he talks abt kamal's colour, brilliant as vasantha maaligai - mayakam enna Shivaji Ganeshan and also when he imitates Vadivelu - enna vachu comedy onnum pannale-ye? Hmm..Was somebody saying Rajini is a Grand Father? He looked damn younger and set the screen on fire. You have to see it to believe it.
Shriya is at her best in the songs. Suman , the villain scores ..it is quite difficult to emote with your coolers on. And, the movie is a technical wizardry. K.V. Anand's camera, A.R.Rahman's pulsating songs, Thotta Tharani's sets are simply mind boggling. Special congrats to Manish Malhotra for his costumes. I just wish ..the fights were trimmed down.
Over all ..Paisa Vasool;-))

Bride's father
Excellent potrayal of a bride's father's feelings. This is basically from the folk song collection on Kamat's potpourri website. The irony is, even now the situation has not changed much.
----------------------------------------------------------
Can't describe the agony
Can't describe the hardships
of the bride's daddy.
Visited every home of fellow caste [1]
and distributed the horoscope
His shoes are worn out by wandering pillar to post
to find a suitable match
His bank account is dwindling fast
to find a suitable match
for his girl
Meanwhile ticking away is bride's biological clock
worried is the bride's sister [2] and rest of the flock
All the powerful Gods are offered a bribe
in prayer for a suitable groom for the bride
Hurray, there's a match of the horoscope
Even though it means settling for less.
Accompanied by four men, he went to negotiate.
News is that groom's friend doesn't like the girl apparently
The groom's father will decide after hearing about the dowry
Grapevine has that the groom's mom is keen
Groom's sister is sitting on the fence
It's time to spend the money for the wedding
Grooms family wants lavish spending
Chiroti [3] for the friends
sarees [4] for thirty relatives
It's a time to bear the humiliation
of washing the in-law's feet
of bearing insults
of putting on a courteous mask and pleasing the groom's side
of waiting of approval which will never come
Raising the girl for eighteen years with all the skills to be a good housewife
and a good mother
is not enough.
Worrying if she will be cared or loved after marriage
is not enough.
By the time the girl is married,
have no words to describe the agony
Can't describe the hardships
of the bride's daddy.
Lord is his only hope.
Frustration is his only friend.
