Sivaji - The crowd!!!

Bangalore saw the release of Sivaji- The Boss on Friday and that was huge. I have been here in Bangalore for 2 years now and have not seen anything like this before…I have seen PVR in all states, but never like this.

Police were all over controlling the mob and keeping a check on the fans that poured in from god knows where to book tickets. There was despair and anxiety on the face of many as to when they would get tickets. The corporate companies like Cognizant, have booked entire show for their employees (unfortunately not my company).


The small theatre near my home had people sleeping on the road the previous night to get tickets. I was simply amazed. There was a theatre where they did the "Paal- Abhishekam" before the release.No other country other than India can show such extremes of fan following! I salute all those crazy fans of “Thalayver” out there!!!

I am not looking to see the movie till a few weeks..I guess I’ll give way to all those hard core fans first…Would surely watch it sometime...Love to see whether it is worth all the ga-ga. Anyone seen the movie yet? Please tell me. Meanwhile let me call the movie Sivaji- The crowd puller!

i have heard of the 'mass hysteria' everytime a rajni movie comes out...but havnt really witnessed it first hand, nor seen any movie of his. the language being a major hurdle ofcourse.

just the other day on a news channel they had selected 3 rajni fans to 'imitate' him. his extravagant gestures n evrythn....i wonder what ppl find so awesome in that. i find it a bit silly honestly...

but i guess i shouldnt pass comments without really knowing wat he says with the flick of his glares n stuff!

I have seen the movie. A typical Rajani film. Worth to watch once. I always like the style of Rajni. In this film the way he put bubble gum in mouth is fantastic. He is the one and only star who can create such a huge opening for an average film. The songs are superb and after a long time AR Rehman got his magical touch back. and sankar picturised the songs in a perfect way.
But if u go for the film with high expectation, u will be disappointed.
Oh yeah, last but not least Nayan tara is there in one song and the heroine Sriya is sooooooooooooo hot.
