" When Intelligence talks Wisdom Listens"

I am astonished to actually admit that I have never seen such a huge crowd other than Thirupathi Temple. Kuselan the Rajni starrer that got released without much of a hype is a family entertainer. I promise to give a honest review about the movie after I stepped out of the theatre.

I am a Rajni Fan but for a die hard Rajni fan, this film might not be a treat as Rajni comes only in a few sequences. The story is a one liner. A old friend of a Superstar tries to meet him after nearly 25 years. Pasupathy fits in this role very nicely. Rajnikanth introduction is sizzling and probably one of the best. The introduction is after 25 minutes of the movie and I admit here that i was only watching the movie and i could hear no music but only fans screaming around.

If you are dreaming about the movie on power with Sivaji, better have a second thought. But this movie is unique by itself. Drags in the middle because of some useless scenes even some scenes where part II of some old Rajni movie are shot like Chandramuki { probably the worst dialogue } which the director must have shot when he was in drugs :P.

Rajni gives some really cool punch lines. In one line he says that more accumulation of fat is not good for health and more accumulation of wealth is not good for health again. The climax of the movie is a touching one where the music director has contributed well by not playing any music and spoiling the show. The music of the movie is too much below benchmark and as a fan I regret for Mr. GV Prakash's music and this ironically shows that he should still grow.

The movie praises the true form of friendship which does not expect anything in return. This was evident from the climax where Rajni speaks about his childhood friend. It is a subtle subject that is handled with the grace of a Superstar. Songs are visual treat to all the fans. No buzzing sounds and no fight sequence in the movie is a added plus.

Vadivelu's comedy is a tickle to us in the middle as it is tailor made to bring out laughter. He does justice to his job. Some scenes were not really needed. The movie was boring in the middle but Pasupathi's performance is something to be noted. He has underplayed his role and fits as a pessimist. The moral of he story is that efforts have to be taken by a pessimist to become a optimist.

I like the movie very much because Rajni is there in it. I am willing to be patient till the movie ends should be the thought. I request Mr. P.Vasu to have second thoughts when he signs a movie with a superstar. He should remember his image and should not misguide his fans.

Rajni --- 100% pleasing performance in the movie.
Pasupathi --- 80% of potential is exposed in the movie.
Meena --- Tolerable performance.
Nayanthara --- God only knows why she was in the movie but she looks really good in the movie in all the sequences.
Vadivelu --- Good job.
Director --- God only should save the audience.
Art Director --- Great work.
Music --- Really sick.

The movie really depicts a lot of the trouble in making a cinema. Worth watching if you are a Rajni and basically a cinema fan.

Sriram :)
