Pros:
ARR, Shankar, Sujatha
Cons:
Century Old "Rajnic " Formula



          

I watched this movie on a preview show in Switzerland a day before the actual release in India. It had all the ingredients of both a

Shankar and Rajni movie.
With all due respects to the Super star of Tamil Cinema...Whenever I watched a Rajni or a Vijay movie I feel pity for Tamils all over the World. I feel like we all are falling prey to this "commercial Masala" formula this Tamil Moviedom keeps on feeding us. This formula had now become an easy and shortcut way to stardom in Kollywood, which even a startup Actor/director never dares to break it up. We all are creating a wrong precedence by encouraging such movies, which naturally leads to even veteran actors like Rajni to follow suit and to continue with the same old crappy movies they were doing all these years. I’m sure this actor would never repeatedly do such formula movies if an occasional non-formula movies of his like 6-60 varai, Mullum malarum, or a Kai kodukkum Kai would have got it’s due credit in both box-office and popularity.
The modus operandi of this cheap Formula is quite simple. Tickle the inner feelings of the audience and utilize it to the maximum. It’s easy to draw a parallel to selling drugs or a cheap pimping, which will naturally indulge people in going for it. Encouraging such movies not only escalates a wrong guy to the stardom, but also ensures nobody else in the industry dares to break that jinx and try something afresh.
IMHO by supporting such cheap forumulaic movies we are ruining the entire Tamil Movie industry, in addition to...

1. Lowering the benchmarks of what is Good and what’s bad in Entertainment.
2. Forcing such good actors take the direction where the wind blows and keep on doing the same crappy movie again & again.
3. Preventing any new attempts by anybody else from even taking off, not to talk about the kind of reception it will get.


          

He surely is an Entertainer and there’s no doubt abt it. But we have to realize dat the level of our taste and appreciation to entertainment/Arts goes down to rock & ocean bottom immediately when you start encouraging ppl like Rajni.
Just being an Entertainer of the masses won’t mean dat he’s talented & deserving. The problem is not with the actor himself, perhaps. It’s the mentality of those masses which had come down to such level to appreciate something un-deserving in-addition to encouraging him jubiliantly to do the same crap again & again.
