jmathur_swayamprabha There is nothing new in the story of Sivaji The Boss(2007). It's the ages old tussle between good and evil being given the shape of the honest and sincere hero's being pitted against the corrupt system in Mera Bhaarat Mahaan. But this hackneyed story contains a lot of entertainment for the audience and in the end, this is what matters the most.Our software professional hero Sivaji(Rajnikant) who happens to come from a modest background, earns around Rs. 150 crores by working in the USA and then returns to India to serve his country by providing free education and treatment to the underprivileged through his charitable institution called Sivaji Foundation. However there's a villain(Suman) in the way who considers his activities a threat to his money-making machinery. Alongwith him, the corrupt political and bureaucratic system prevailing in our country becomes a major problem for our hero who meanwhile has to set right his love life also.Finally, our hero loses the legal battle also which is completely in favour of might and not what's right. He is on the road now having lost all his wealth. Then his heart(and his fate) shows him the way to leave the garb of a simple, sincere and law-abiding Sivaji and move into the persona of Boss, the boss of all those who are on the wrong side. How he turns the tables on them and puts his dream of serving his country into reality is the stuff of the post-interval session of the movie.Quite some time back, Vidya Baalan had asserted for one movie of hers that it contained only three things - Entertainment, Entertainment and Entertainment. Well, she only must be knowing better what's the significance of uttering the same word thrice when one would have sufficed. Following the same line, Rajnikant can assert this word hundreds of times for this movie(or any similar movie done by him). Forget logic. Just allow yourself to be entertained by the time-tested masaalas poured in the movie. And then here's Rajnikant, the boss of the box office who won't disappoint you in terms of entertainment at least.I am not going to ask the script-writer and the director(Shankar) as to how our hero is able to convert whooping sums of black money into white money through his money-laundering act controlled from the USA, something which went above my head. If only getting better of the baddies and snatching their moneys were so easy! But then please note that here's not a commoner assigned with this job. It's Rajni, the Boss capable of doing all those things which lesser mortals can't do. And it's needless to discuss the fight and action sequences specially designed for him.The highly illogical script in which doses of romance and comedy do nothing but block the flow of the narrative, quite unfortunately, supports the superstitious mentality of the Indians through the activities of the heroine who's first the betrothed of the hero and then the wife. She believes the talks of a soothsayer regarding her matrimonial alliance with the hero and acts upon them which ultimately lands our hero into jail. Well, our hero has no complaints because he knows that whatever his lady-love is doing is for the sake of saving his life only(from an imaginary danger). And when he has no complaints, why should we? Whatever Rajni Sir does, is capable of keeping the audience enchanted in the hall. Always maintaining his image of a common man's hero while balancing it with his larger-than-life persona, Rajni Sir has conquered countless hearts for a lifetime. He appears to be the director's actor. Hence if he is over the top, the director(and his image in public psyche as well) is only to blame.Shreya Saran has done nothing but filled the quota of a heroine which is a must because the hero has to romance also according to the prevailing norms of Indian cinema. Among others, Suman as the villain and Vivek as the comedian maternal uncle of the hero have done satisfactorily.The movie is way too long and the songs and dances(plus the rom-com sequences) forced into the narrative are responsible for it. Technically, the movie is just okay. Ditto for the music of A.R. Rehman.Sivaji The Boss is the successful fight of a commoner against the corrupt system but the fighter is not exactly a commoner like me or you or any other similar spectator of this movie. This fighter is Rajnikant, the extra-ordinary. He is larger than life which we, unfortunately, aren't and can't. Hence the hero of the story wins his individual fight in the reel life but the cruel Indian system continues to throttle the real ones in the real life.

Mohammed Faizer If you want to see a Negro RAJINI, a Caucasian RAJINI, RAJINI performing daredevil stunts, RAJINI performing slapstick comedy, breath taking dance moves by RAJINI, an Emotional RAJINI, the philanthropist RAJINI, The Stylish RAJINI, The "Villain" RAJINI and finally the ultimate mass hero, the super star RAJINI - This is the movie for you. Rajini being chiseled by director shankar who has packaged whole of the above ingredients into a wafer thin plot and made a wholesome entertainer that leaves you yearning for more of the one and only RAJINI diet. A must watch for those who require a stress buster after a hard grind and a decent entertainer for those who seek time pass, an entertainer which requires you to keep your brain safe in a locker and just play the DVD, sit in front of the monitor and ENJOY!!!!!!

niralji The fact that Rajini was the lead character in this movie made it all a huge box office. As I was watching the movie, it felt like the earlier monochrome movies Rajini was in years ago came to a waste in the current films his in. As mentioned, this movie has it all- from proclaimed director S.Shankar to well know music director A R Rahman, however the lack of depth in story makes it all shallow. Many say go watch this movie for Superstar's Rajini's super style, yet it was overly done making it a little weird to watch, sort of may I say childish, and could have been brought down a little bit. But I shall say no more on this styles as most of the Indian community are absorbed to it. Anything special to expect from Sivaji? Nothing. Why watch it? If you're a fan for his 'stlye', go ahead. Is this a movie worth to watch for its story? Not quite, everything is cliché, you have the super bad guys and the super goody and the super comedian, its a tosai or naan. But who's actually going for the story, Rajini can be making a 100 more films like this and a million more will be filling up the cinema sits. Folks, it's time for a REALISTIC change.

riz_max I was curious to see Superstar Rajinikanth movie after 2 years. When its the combo of Rajini-Shankar-AR my expectation was beyond the limits, trust me guys it were all fulfilled. Action scenes, Songs, Puch-dialouges, each and every frame of the movie was spectacular, no words to describe. Especially for the ORU-KUDAI (Style) song it was a total surprise. Shankar transformed our thalaivar in to a white man using CG, this the first time in the history of cinema world anything happened like this. Hats off to shankar for his creative thinking! Rajini proved that he is the only Superstar and no one can beat him ever.On the whole Sivaji is Rajini's Best. It is like the 8th wonder of the world to me. ROCKING!!!
