It’s pure entertainment Superstar style. Suspend all logic and watch Sivaji for the sheer fire a legendary actor can create on the silver screen. He’s an enigma, a rock star and an uncrowned king of Indian Cinema. Sivaji is Rajini all the way and you will love it.
The movie is a must watch for all ages. The youth can certainly imbibe the social message which director Shankar packs so glamorously in all his movies. And the older lot can simply indulge in Rajini’s pure celluloid panache.
Sivaji (Rajinikanth) returns to India with a lot of money made in the US to set up a hospital and university to help the poor. But his goodwill is thwarted by the system that thrives on bribery and corruption. Sivaji tries to resist them but gives in to serve the larger cause. Its Shankar’s skill in using humor that keeps you in splits during all these routine scenes. Though Sivaji relents he is outwitted by the powerful businessman Adiseshan (Suman) the down played villain who reduces our hero to a pauper and leaves him with a one rupee coin as alms.
The toss of this coin will decide Sivaji’s future. The rest is revenge and romance with Tamil Selvi (Shriya) at her glamorous best. The songs take you to a world of fantasy and Rajini’s tribute to Sivaji Ganesan, MGR and Kamal Hassan in a cameo underlines his perfection. Take a bow to all the stylists in the film for their tasteful creations.
Sivaji is one more film which emphasizes the Superstar’s magic, Shankar’s control and the global impact of Tamil cinema. In Sivaji, Rajini rocks. What else matters! Cool!!!!

its a Rajni's treat not a shankar's...i was expecting more than a matix kind of CG stuff..
Being a north indian one hardly ever gets to hear about south indian movies. I heard about Sivaji mainly because of the massive hype surrounding it. I would love to read more about all things cinema down south, especially malayalam movies. Thanks.
