Iam a out and out rajini fan.
I was not his fan initially.. dont remeber whcih film of his caught my eye but after that I explored all his movies he acted in before that film and after that film.. Ther are obnly two reviews on rajnikant.. gues one reason is rajinis fans are divided into 2 groups... One the lower middle clas thats concerned about their TALAIVER and shout and whistle their way in his films or the other more relaxed but loyal grup that watchs his movies but dont bother declaring their loyality to the world.. I happen to be a cross between both.. apart from whistling (i cant) I hav lost my voice, danced my way and hooted at his films.. but I have also sat up and taken notic of his performance as well as the man behind the brand.
Rajnikant is fabulous in almost whatevr Role he undertakes.. be the PORKI or the COP or the BAD guy that he used tp play initially..HE has played it all.. There is jus something about this mans on screen style that makes it difficult for us to ignore.. people who make fun of him, impersoante him, worship him all do so with his STYLE in mind.. u just cant take out style from rajniaknt like the way youth is stuck to Big B.. this is also the reason why he is sometimes short of movies as well..his style is just too big to handle and a faulty story or improper director can virtually destroy his film.. not to mention even a overdose of evn one of his trademark acts.. too many songs.. too much emotions.. a bit different story all these can make or break his movie..
Rajnikant as the man is another thing altogether.. U noticed he has stopped his ciggrate style since the ban on tobacco in movies.. thouh it formed a intgral part of his movies he has accepted the courts rule.. thats the mark of a noble maN.. HIS generousity as well as kindness are talked about too often so I wont go there.. his policy of being good and staying clean on life is one admirable fact.. he knows his brand value.. he uses it wisely.. nvr to his own use. and nevr for anyboys benfit.. unlike the Big b who kept openly showing his support for various parties over the years.. rajnikant has kept himself away as much as he could.. he refuesd Shanker’s MUDHALVAN so that he wudnot be associated with politics on the after math.. I wish all the success for Shivaji and end this topic here it self..
