korn2k5 - There's no comparison with Sivaji, here... If Sivaji had loopholes, it was dressed up by magical music and bgm, Rajini's charisma, and Shankar's usual direction style. It started and ended as a masala movie. The tone of the movie was consistent throughout. Dasa had a classier plot read more...

storyline good analysis, and i agree definitely about the chaos theory and the way the events are connected... BUT, having a great concept and executing a great concept are two different things entirely. BABA by Rajini(screenplay by Rajini) is one of the best treatises on Indian Philosophy read more...

Korn2k5: True, there were more than a few elements subtlely left to the viewers, like the God element and how all the elements are linked together. But this kind of subtlety belongs in a serious movie and not a comedy/action fare! The mixup of tone for the sake of reaching out to the audience read more...

the thing with Sivaji was that, inspite of a mundane storyline, there were several catchy elements at regular intervals to keep the audience attention... Dasa: songs poor. Background music - average to the core. 100 crore budget? And then, the characterization of none of the Kamals is powerful. read more...

r u serious in this review or satirical? I just finished the preview of this movie today... the screenplay is just one long chase, basically. Most of the characters out of the ten are unnecessary for the crux of the story. If you see the movie for the ten kamals and the visual effects, it read more...

nice review on conti, but it'd be better to place it under conti travel's review section instead of KPN's!

hey, nice coverage of chennai! The river cruise idea for cooum sounds great! (if they cleaned up the stink, that is!). There's more multiplexes of late, like INOX that are of real international standards of maintenance! Good news for movie buffs! -Shiv

thx for the comments! ajayan - wow, so they change the film after the release these days to suit audience approval! That's sad! They might as well provide special glasses that let us see different endings, in the future! :-)

u say this movie is a class apart? it is good entertainment, but elevating it to a super good status? it succeeded in getting audience attention only due to the cast and glamor factor and stylish presentation. there was no story, no screenplay and the stunts like the train stunts were so ludi read more...

i can empathize with you on your disappointment with the movie... some of ur points, like the motivation and progression of events not being there, are well taken... my reactions weren't that extreme, since i was on the whole entertained by the movie... the bigger question is, would our comme read more...

u've mentioned the fine points in the movie well, especially Abhishek's acting heroics part! sure, the flaws in the movie can be overlooked if we didnt expect an Aviator from this one!

i think the south indian dubbings negate the effects of the movie totally. like watching it on a 10 inch screen with laptop sound system... on the whole, i agree it wasnt upto the mark, but the Hindi version was more enjoyable and true to its cause!

yeah, it seems as if the director was pandering to the tastes of the majority! like i had said, to taste universal success, he cant be too radical as he used to be!

The art direction is fantastic and the look & feel of Bombay during those days really comes alive through the grand sets! Mani Rathnam has learnt enough lessons from his earlier Tamil masterpiece Iruvar, not to include too much of character-study type elements in his screenplay. And that is boun read more...
