Director Shankar who gave many hits in the past, has comeout with a routine story. The formula of a super hero (Rajinikanth) fighting against the
corruptive society is no new in Kollywood. But the director concentrated on Superstar's character. Rajinikanth's getup is totally different in the film.
Raghuvaran and Nayantara made special appearance in the film. 'Sivaji', the most expensive film of India, lives upto the expectations among the
audiences.
Story:
Sivaji (Rajini), a software professional in USA, after staying there for 20 years, comes back to India. By seeing the poor
getting poor and rich getting richer and seeing the problems faced by many people around him, he decides to start Sivaji Foundation (University)
with which he can fund the free education and free medication of the poor people. Sivaji gets in touch with politically powerful businessman,
Adikesavan (Suman) for getting support for his social service projects. Meanwhile, Sivaji falls in love with a midlleclass Tamilazharasi (Shreya). At the same time, Ahikesavan plans for the downfall of Sivaji because of fear that Sivaji might become an obstacle for his growth with charity. Adikesavan makes Sivaji loose everything and stand on road with no money left. He throws a One rupee coin at Sivaji and from there on, how Sivaji strikes back with that One rupee as inspiration and how he brings out all the Black money out from the affluent persons forms the rest of the
story.
Performance:
Rajinikanth as Sivaji has given an energetic performance. Interestingly, Rajini has used many English dialogues this
time. Kudos to Rajini for his acting skills. Shreya steals the show with her beauty. She has shown maturity in her acting by utilizing the opportunity
to the best. Vivek is ok with his routine comedy. Suman does well as a villain. He can do wonders in negative roles also. The others are upto the
mark. A.R.Rahman's music is one of the highlights of the film. All the songs are catchy. Dialogues are fascinating. Cinematography is excellent.
Art work is impressive. Direction and screenplay are fine.
Verdict: Good |  |
