Good entertaining movie
Bhool Bhulaiyaa

Gururaj, is biased. He has reviewed Chandramukhi (which is a regional language take on the same story) & he TRASH-ed the movie. However, he goes ga-ga over BB (which is re-re-take of the original). The original (Manichitirathazh, Malayalam, Fazil, Mohan Lal, Shobana) is really MILES ahead ...of any re-takes. So much so, the leading actress Shobana got the Best NATIONAL Acting Award for this movie, that particular year. Chandramukhi & Bhool Bhulaiyya, is no comparison to the orignal. Any one, who has seen the Original, knows which is best. The award above is another recognition of which is better. Gururaj, says his mallu friends who came with him said BB is best. He is 100% lying. Manichithirathazh is a highly liked film by Mallus; and BIG Hit too, when released. Gururaj, needs to see a shrink. (Am saying this after reading his other shocking reviews of regional language movies)Read More

Gururaj, Why are you doing extensive research ONLY for Rajni movies? Is Tamil/Telugu your native langauge ? If you poke fun, make derisive comments & find faults ONLY for Rajni movies.. then you are BIASED. There are scores of Hindi films which are 100% lift from English language ...movies. Have you written ANYTHING about them ? You haven’t. Somebody who is so.. interested in finding faults - if he is NOT biased - would find faults in THEIR NATIVE language movies ALSO. Not ONLY for Rajni movies. Another point. Have you written anything GOOD about regional movies? Good number of regional movies are in fact Good and bag national / international awards regularly. Have you written anything about them? BIG NO. You just want to TRASH Rajni movies. Why? Because, you are, BIASED. Get Over it. Or, as I said above, see a shrink. PS: (Am no Rajni fan -- I have NOT written even SINGLE REVIEW about Rajni movie here in mouthshut).Read More

Gururaj, seems to be biased. He has commented on all recent Rajni movies , saying all of them ’bakwas’ , poking fun & making derisive comments. Just see his history of reviews from his profile here in mouthshut. And mind you, he has commented ONLY for Rajni movies (not for any other regi...onal movie). I don’t know what are his problems with Rajni’s films or Rajni’s success or Rajni himself.. Only, he can answer this. Now facts. ROBOT is based on a tamil novel ’En Iniya Iyanthira’ written by a famous Tamil novelist called Sujatha. It is not a direct lift from any other English movie. Sure, there would have been inspirations from other Robot-theme movies -- but definitely not a direct story lift (scene-by-scene lift like Murder (Hindi) from Unfaithful (English); Julie Ganapthy (Tamil) from Misery(English)). Now Gururaj, let me RUB it in for you. ROBOT is the HIGHEST grossing Indian movie ever, reportedly earning Rs.1200 crores. If you see reviews here & the success of movie -- it is being enjoyed by majority. If you have a problem with Rajni movies & trying to find faults/poke funs -- go examine yourself with a mirror. Or better, see a shrink. Read More

The Best bank for NRIs
State Bank Of India

I agree that USA based banks are profit oriented (esp. the big banks like BoA) and the same thing is happening here too in India. The service levels of PSBs have improved lately after Pvt sector competition. If you are in USA, try the local Community Banks - they offer good service. These PSB... Banks are good, among the ones I have experienced. Corporation Bank, Andhra Bank, Assoc Banks of SBI (SBH, SBM), Union Bank, IOB. Some other PSBs are good too, but service vary depending upon Branch to Branch.Read More

Draining
Mahanadhi Movie

Another comment on 'Overacting' or 'Melodramatic'. One has to view the dramatics with a 'period' context. Sivaji was expected to be (melo)dramatic - that was the expectation from the audience, THEN. Sivaji in Thevar Magan is vastly different from Sivaji in Thangappadhakkam. These two movies near...ly 25 years apart. Audience had different expectations and hence the different portrayals. My opinion: Sivaji was better than even Kamal in Thever Magan. There are certain expectations from fans, which these actors need to fulfill. That does not take away any credit from the way they wielded the grease paint.Read More

Karthik, just saw this review. ;A crafty review of a well made movie. Your review should make other people get interested in the movie. Easily one of the Kamal’s best. Emotional. Disturbing. And yes, draining

Shivaji - The BOSS
Sivaji - The Boss Movie

No counter points. People still think Rajni is a Tamil phenomenon. He's grown bigger than that. He has audience across languages and he's equally big in Telugu as well. His movies (in Tamil) run across Kerala as well as Karnataka. And get a bumper opening. And now, people in Mumbai, Delhi have... started seeing his movies (of course because of the hype created). But yes, he's hero worshipped in TN - which he is not in other regions. But that no way makes him a lesser STAR in other regions. Another thing. Rajni was rejected by Bollywood. That's easy to say. Not true. People in South know that STARs like Chiranjeevi, Nagarjun, Kamal Hassan, Venkatesh, Mohan Lal do 'dabble' in Bollywood just to get reach a wider audience. They are happy here in South! and see no need to make it BIG there! Do you think Khans have been rejected in South? No. They see no need to make it BIG in South. Ditto with the above stars. Back to Sivaji. As said above by me, movie is definitely hype. There have been better movies by Rajni (both as Star and Actor) and Shankar. The problem is here is the Gururaj, Nachiket brigade who say that movie is trash and indulge in region & isms -- without knowing the ethos behind a Rajni movie. I Repeat. 20 crore people, who think Rajni is BIG can't be wrong. I understand one may not like his movies. Even I can count the number of movies I have seen of Rajni. Yes, I dont like him much. I have reconciled to the fact that there must be something in him which has made him big. Calling him trash - that too just by seeing Sivaji -- is stereotyping! And grossly generalizing.Read More

Sivaji - The Boss Movie

Japanese 2nd large film + tv production country: http://www.mediacom.keio.ac.jp/publication/pdf2006/review28/02_Minoru%20SUGAYA.pdf Rajni movies are seen by native Japanese, not just Indians. He is the ONLY Indian actor who has such an audience. As you said, all other movies are seen only by pa...n-Indian audiences. You can continue to be ignorant of this fact. What can I do? You refuse to accept. Rajni is Big. He's the highest paid actor in India by a wide margin. There must be a reason for this. If you can't 'singularly' accept this fact -- then go get yourself examined. Not the 20 crore people in India who think he is Big. I am no Rajni fan myself. But, I wont say he is CRAP or his movies are Crap. I believe he has got something which is liked by people in India (see the reviews of Sivaji in this very site) - and even cutting across language barrier / culture (Japan). Grow up, buddy. Be Open to all cultures, accept different things in life. Read More

Shivaji - The BOSS
Sivaji - The Boss Movie

I have myself seen a Rajni 25-feet cut out in Tokyo of Rajni. He is called as Indian Mahraja there! His movies are indeed BIG there. Rajni v/s Steven Seagal comparison is a joke. One can no way compare Asian industry with Hollywood. They have a worldwide market. Including our own desis who... queue up for Die Hard 4.0. Japanese used to have a film industry. In fact, they used to produce 2nd largest number of movies (after India) till sometime back. This is contrary to what is said by Gururaj. (If one is ignorant, he can at least keep quiet - not make false statements). He reviewed Chandramukhi just now, after 2.5 years of movie release. And I believe he reviewed it -- without seeing the movie. See my comments in that review. Gururaj has been on a Rajni thrashing spree - probably, after seeing Sivaji. Otherwise, why anybody would review Chandramukhi now? It's neither a classic NOR a great movie NOR trash. Can't trust him. I rest. Read More

Pathetic,
Chandramukhi - Tamil Movie

I got it. Gururaj has NEVER seen the movie. The review as it is written - there seems to be two distinct parts. One, which Gururaj has written --- and Two, the 'story' part which has been a - neat cut and paste work. Notice the small caps beginning after every full stop in the first para. ...Notice ALL large caps beginning after every full stop while the review explains the 'story'. Distinctly different in -- language, use of prepositions. My hunch? He has not seen the movie. He wanted to trash it - just because the movie is running for 'two' years somewhere and Rajni happ'd to feature in it ? What's your problem with Rajni's success?Read More

Amazing screenplay, direction
Cheeni Kum

Shahenshah was bad. In fact, most of the movies during that era were equally bad. I can read out many names -- Jaadugar, Ganga Jamuna Saraswathi, Toofan. If you ask me, Hum is also not good. But forming an instant (& wrong) opinion on AB just after seeing those movies, are as bad as forming a...n opinion on Rajni, just by seeing Sivaji. Keep an open mind, Brother. Read More

Shivaji - The BOSS
Sivaji - The Boss Movie

We are not talking technical possibilities or impossibilities. We are talking about humanly impractical stunts performed by James Bond. If he can do it and if we can accept it -- I DONT see any reasons why Rajni or Hrithik can't be accepted like that. If you can't accept that - then it's your pro...blem. Most Indian mainstream (I say Indian - that includes Hindi, Regional as well) dont have much logic. Who sings a song in an open park? with 50+ others in background? Is there any logic to this? There is not much logic in India mainstream movies. The PROBLEM is in universal acceptance of it. If Sunny Deol thrashes 50 guys, probably one may accept it - as one is used to it. If Rajni does it -- since people view it with critics perspective - they thrash it. It's as simple as that. Japanese movie goers have much advanced taste than an average Indian movie goer. IF they can accept Rajni as a super hero, I DONT mind too.. The fact remains Rajni is the Highest paid actor in Asia next only to Jackie Chan. One may not accept it - but one can't ignore it. He has wider audience than any other Indian actor - across the globe. That itself is a proof of his abilities. Even I dont like his movies much. But I can't grudge his success. He has earned it. Next topic. Hype. You may be against hype. But creating, sustaining and supporting Hype is part of movie marketing. It's like advertising. Hype is created to make you GO & see the movie. They want your money. If Sivaji has succeeded in that - they have done a good job. Movie business is MONEY business. If you are a victim of Hype, then TRY to be MORE vigilant in future.. Hype can't be stopped. JBJ was hyped too, but could not succeed. The product has to live upto people's expectations. Going by the success, Sivaji has. It's going to rake in around 200 crores! Hype has worked. And anything that works, will be repeated.Read More

Pathetic,
Chandramukhi - Tamil Movie

Brig-IN / Raj is right. Chandramukhi is NEVER a Rajni film. The STORY is the main character here. Rajni happened to act in it. This film was a BIG HIT in all languages it was made - Original Malayalam (Manichitharathazh), Then Kannada (Apta Mitra), then Chandramukhi (Tamil, Telugu). Manichith...arathazh original is the best. NOT 'ALL' OF THESE REGIONs CAN BE WRONG. Guruaj has been on a Anti-Rajni spree after seeing Sivaji. But trashing Chandramukhi just because he acted in it -- takes it to nth degree of hate. Gururaj is blatantly BIASED. Gururaj, what exactly is your problem?Read More

Amazing screenplay, direction
Cheeni Kum

Cheeni Kum is a well crafted movie. I really liked the ego thing going on between the main characters. Also liked the 'deft' placement of 'bits' of songs at appropriate places. Movie got a little pale towards the end though. Yes, as the author says, this is not for David Dhawan, Yash J...ohar or Rajni fans. Continuing in the same vein, it is also NOT for those who may have liked AB's earlier films -- Laawaris, Shahenshah, Hum, etc. While AB was good in this film, AB would NEVER have attempted this (kinda) film - when he was at the peak of his career. He can't. No producer would agree. His STAR image was different then. His fans would not have accepted him, then.Read More

Good review. The author was right and is the same opinion voiced by other's as well. In his effort to appease Rajni fans, Shankar has compromised a lot vis-a-vis his earlier films with Kamal, Arjun. Balanced review.
