The Hindu - Rajni Ramki speaks about Sivaji 100 days celebration

21 Sep 2007

New Delhi, Sept 21 (PTI): Rajnikanth's latest blockbuster "Sivaji -- The Boss" is set to complete its 100th day tomorrow in 111 theatres in India and abroad and the Tamil superstar's fans are planning celebrations to mark the occasion.

The film was released in 235 theatres across Tamil Nadu and as many screens outside the state on June 15. "Around 102 theatres in Tamil Nadu will celebrate the 100th day of screening the movie on Saturday," AVM Productions CEO S C Babu said.

"The film is still running in almost 10 to 20 per cent of the theatres it which it was released outside Tamil Nadu, especially in Kerala and Karnataka," he said from Chennai.

One theatre in Mumbai is set to celebrate the 100th day tomorrow. Outside India, the film will complete 100 days in six theatres in Malaysia, two in Sri Lanka and one in Singapore.

The latest hit from Rajnikanth, who has a huge following in Tamil Nadu and abroad, broke records for collections by a Tamil film not only in India but also in countries like Malaysia, Singapore and Britain.

The film is still collecting 7,000 pounds a week in a theatre in Britain and there are a lot of inquiries for the rights to dub the film in Malay, Chinese and Japanese. "Sivaji" is also making huge collections in over 10 theatres in Chennai and its suburbs.

Munikanniah, vice-president of Sathyam Cinemas, a leading multiplex in Chennai, said: "The distributor's share for 'Sivaji -- The Boss' in a single theatre in Chennai was Rs 1.55 crore, which is an all-time record for the state."

"The film was released in two screens in Satyam Cinemas simultaneously with a seating capacity of 948 and 560 seats and it ran to packed houses for nearly six weeks," Munikanniah said.

"Even now, with the film nearing its 100th day, almost 60 per cent of the 948 seats get filled during weekdays and 100 per cent during weekends."

Though "Sivaji" is running strong even after three months, the film's producers have no plans for celebrating its completion of 100 days.

"The film is running very strong even now and we don't want to spoil it by celebrating the 100th day. We hope the film will continue to create more records," Babu said.

"We will have a bigger celebration later," he said.

But the star's fans are gearing up to celebrate the event at theatres. "We have planned to celebrate the occasion in a grand manner outside theatres in Bangalore and Malaysia," said J Ramki, co-founder of rajinifans.com, a website dedicated to Rajnikanth.

"This is the first time an Indian language movie will complete 100 days in Malaysia. Rajnifans.com will celebrate it in a big way in front of theatres."

Munikanniah said, "Many fan associations have sought our permission to celebrate the event outside theatres. They will distribute sweets and watch their 'thalaivar' (leader) on screen again."

Sundar, an ardent fan of the star, said, "We will distribute sweets and food packets to people who come to watch the movie on Saturday."

Referring to plans to release a Hindi version of the film, Babu said, "dubbing for the Hindi edition has already started and it is likely to be completed by the first week of October.

"Director Shankar is very anxious that Rajnikanth should dub his own voice for the Hindi version but it is for him to decide.

"As announced earlier, the Hindi version will have a post-Diwali release."

"Sivaji" is about a man's fight against black money in society, with Rajnikanth playing the protagonist in his own trademark style with a combination of punchy dialogue, comedy, romance, songs and colourful costumes.

Watched Mullum Malarum again yesterday after all this discussion.

What a movie. The scene after fighting with his sister, or confronting the engineer, shows the younger Rajini's acting capabilities well.

And a simple and effective climax. Classic.

Plum
13th September 2010, 01:16 PM
prashanth, you beat me to it. Missed most of the movie - oru afternoon siestakappuram lazy-A channel surf paNNinA, Sarathbabu in that ketta paya saar scene. All organs(kaNnu kAdhu etc) immediately alert. Just managed to catch kALi saying ketta paya saar avan. What a performance!

A lot of Amit-ji fans set aside Rajni, the actor, almost as if "What's the big deal about Rajni, the 70's actor", while eulogising Amit-ji's 70's movies and post 90's avatar(am). This is not Amit-ji's fault but it tends to put me off.

For, while Rajini can(and did) replicate Amit-ji's masalas succesfully and overshadowed him with his presence in Geraftaar, as well as showed his chops in anything Amit-ji has done, Amit-ji's acclaimed 70's persona is so limited. We are talking, like, what? Anand, Abhimaan, Chupke Chupke. All that angst, comic presence recycled later in his masala movies. Nothing really that stands out different from his later masala avatar.

Watching MM, one realises why Amit-ji can never be Rajinikanth. I just cant imagine amit-ji saying the hindi equivalent of ketta paya saar avan. And the "pazhaya kALiyA irundhirundhA...". And so on. Amit-ji is stiff, scholarly and hams enormously when faced with emotional sequences. He can probably do sentiment, like maa sentiment in Deewar climax but emotion like in MM, I havent seen evidence.

Even the post-90's Blacks and stuff, one can see the "ham"mer in Amit-ji. Really, Rajini, the actor is in a different class to Amit-ji.

A *possibly contentious* thought - maybe, even Kamal of 70's wouldnt have shone as much as Rajini in muLlum malarum. "ketta paya saar avan" just doesnt sit well in my imagination of 70's Kamal saying it.

Plum
13th September 2010, 01:17 PM
enna dhAn Surya of Dal-Pati might be appealingnAlum, I just cant fathom how kALi can be overlooked by *anyone* over *any other role* of Rajini!

Plum
13th September 2010, 01:24 PM
Post his loss of arm, kALi is not exactly a changed man. He can still beat the crap out of azhagesan and retain the awe in which his chamchas hold him. However, you can sense a little vulnerability, helplessness now. Gone is the straight talking, wysiwyg kALi. Now, he has a measured cunning added - the way he plays the Engineeer from the time the latter asks for his sister's hand to the well-planned, paced delivery of the command to azhagesan to marry his sister. The Engineer knows he is a beaten man.

In a way, this kALi rolls back to Vijayan in Udhiri pUkkAL. Or, the other way around possibly. He has his preferences, and he will let his hate determine his choices and have his way. The village gathering against the tyrant's diktat seems to be the climax in both cases but fortunately for kALi, he has two women playing his conscience - while Rajni and Shoba walk away with the acting honours, Fatafat Jayalakshmi sparkles as Manga, and it is she who sets the events in motion and ensures that kALi doesnt meet the same fate as the correspondent in UP. She is fearless, stands up to him and mobilises the village against him, while not completely puncturing his aura. Eventually, the two women combined manage to stoke his ego, as well as get the "right thing" done.

Truly, this is a landmark movie for TFI. Fortunate to have viewed it at different stages of my life.

13th September 2010, 01:25 PM
Plum, good points. Rajini can do what Amitabh the star can do in masala films. Amit-ji can never do what Rajini did back then purely as an actor in strongly scripted films. But now that Amit is doing so-called "classy" films, and if Rajini were to do the same, I am sure Rajini will eat AB for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, supper and occasional trip to kitchen after bedtime.

But looking at his track record of late, can he (Rajini) pull it off? :think:

Plum
13th September 2010, 01:34 PM
grouch, it is more a question of "does he want to pull it off".

Amit-ji, apart from artistic needs, had a dire financial need to accept all and sundry roles, including jatti viLambarams, in his post-90's avatar. 40 padathula varushathukku avar iruppAr. adhula 4 critically acclaimed role aayidum. ipdi thAn avarOda post 90's career Odichu. What I have always felt is that, all the 40 roles are similar in one way or the otehr - that is, to say, they are more or less Amitabh, the patriarch. A high-hamming, stiff, at times Antony Gonsalves comic persona. Very limited range.

Rajni doesnt really have anything other than artistic need. So, the question is does he want to do what Amit-ji did?
Besides, already Kamalukku script ezhudha AL illAma thiNdAdikittirukkOm. Rajinikku yaaru ezhudhuvA?

13th September 2010, 01:45 PM
Re.kALi NT (at any age) ? Of course, Rajini :clap:

Ordinary script could be enhanced by good acting. Good script could turn shoddy when badly enacted (all Myshkin films) As much as I like Raj kiran, imagine Rajni in Thavamai Thavamirundhu?

kid-glove
13th September 2010, 01:57 PM
While I rate Amitabh highly, I admit some currency could be found in some of these points. Another thing abt 70's Amitabh is better scriptwriting and direction of hindi masala cinema, as against the likes who remade them in Tamil? Although our 'new wave' with Mahendran, KB, Balu Mahendra, BR, etc and films like Pasi, Aval appadithaan, etc could/should be argued to be of richer quality than Bachchan's cinema of that time !

Re.kALi NT (at any age)
ada, idhellAm solli dhAn theriyaNumA? Ofcourse, NT is who Rajni channels here - infact, part of my appreciation loops back to that fact :-)

At any age, may be not. I'd have loved to see the 60's Sivaji do muLLum malarum.

13th September 2010, 02:09 PM
Besides, already Kamalukku script ezhudha AL illAma thiNdAdikittirukkOm. Rajinikku yaaru ezhudhuvA?I think Kamal is a more difficult case here. Avare ezhuthunathan undu. Expectation level is completely different here.

Rajini-kku, Thilak sonna mathiri, can be used to enhance ordinary script. Thavamay Thavamirunthu would be owesome. Really. Yes, Raj Kiran's roles are prime candidate, they need that extra caged up energy that Rajini has, alongside giving the roles the nobility. No fault of Raj Kiran, but I thought his roles like in Nandha need that extra oomph!

Plum
13th September 2010, 02:14 PM
Ditto. And Rajkiran need not worry about his buvvA - he can do roles like the one he did with Lawrence(muni?)
Rajni as Ajith's father in Kireedom - uh, mouth watering. Yeah, enhancing ordinary scripts can be one use Rajini is put to.*

Nanda - yes, awesome think experiment grouch.
And I really think someone should do Nishabdh with him in tamil, irrespective of the movie's merits.
*- note thilakan did awesome in that role but obviously, the writing was diluted in tamil so...

kid-glove
13th September 2010, 02:19 PM

Incidentally I also saw parts of MM yesterday. Each and every scene is carefully crafted and it is refreshing to see such films today. Raja's BGM is excellent - idhellaam solli dhaan theriyanumnu illai. I remember posting about ellaam en kairaasi which has awful songs but a soul stirring recurrent violin theme. Only Raja fossible. Hope Rajini's hint about continuing acting is true and perhaps a film with Raja (impossible, I know but can't help thinking about it everytime I see a 70s/80s film of his)

As much as we want Rajini that way, it is impossible though. Only consolation we have to watch those again. Pudhukkavithai is also another classic of Rajini.

During the *trailer release* function if I am not wrong. He talked about Sujatha's contribution for a good three minutes.

But yeah like many of you, I also thought that he could have paid a small tribute to him during the film's opening credits. He was very moved during the time of Sujatha's death but ippO dhaan puriyudhu, "padam paduthurumE" apdinu dhaan sOgamaayittar pOla.. :twisted:

Absolutely. To me the best parts of the film (incl the scene after the climax) are from Sujatha's pen. Sujatha would have obviously done a better job of writing/help writing the terrorists/Santhanam/Karunas/Danny etc. In fact I can't believe Shankar came up with such silly characters.

and i really doubt if he can act in smalltime movies... i mean, even if he acts in a medium budget or small budget movie, the greedy producers/distributors would sell it for high prices, will increase the expectation like a mass movie and would promote them as big as sivaji and endhiran... and there are high chances the hype falls flat...

I have started to like GVM after VTV, so I am OK with that. Hope he comes up with a better script than KK/VV. And again, he is also a Kamal fan who does not think Rajini can act (AFAIK).

That's why we need a Lingu or a Murugadoss or a Hari to direct if Rajini chooses to act in another masala film. They are all huge Rajini fans.

Soft, neenga solradhu sari dhaan, but for the first time in the last 20 years or so, I saw the protoganist Rajini running away from a fight (enakku IG-ya theriyum etc.) and more importantly people (read Rajini fans, incl me of course) absolutely enjoyed it. Which is a very good sign.

Equa, this one's for you.
We talked about how Amitji in his masala mode appealed to you more - besides a body of untouchable work prior to it - but to me, Amitji in his masala mode days loses out badly.
Let's take romance - one can perhaps have subjective views on the overt, male-centric, masalaic, "I am God so I am not surprised you love and lust for me" mode of romance; say "gora rang kala na pad jaaye" vs "kaaLa kaaLa" - but gentle, run of the mill romance (during his masala says) in a like for like comparison, to me, completely eliminates Amitji as competition. Take for instance, netRikaNN. In a role that is dwarfed in front f the over-the-top chakravarthy, in a lose-lose situation, Rajini conjures up a few magic moments in Ramanin Mohanam. Forget the ultra stylish hand-in-pockets style of kaadhalin dheepam ondru, this one defines Rajini romance for me.

Watch out for the almost innocent, in-the-moment magic as he plays a overt hide-and-seek, the expressions and body language he conjures up as he sways in and out of the heroine's view behind a tree that hardly conceals him - the point of it being the little-nothingness of the gesture and moment - these are moments that cannot be Bacchan. Think Bachcan in his focussed soft romantic roles - kabhie kabhie, barsaat ki ek raat and the other one with rakhee and vinod mehra - in roles written to bring his chops on romance, bacchan just manages generic expressions. This is just one facet but I am sure I will be able to capture more in other facets as I re-catch more of 80s rajini.(Purely comparing masalaic stuff). And this in a rajini role that was purely functional, and perhaps was barely written. See the point?

Besides, he conjures up all these for...
...Menaka!
Just no comparison, I say, as an actor, with Amitji.

Plum
18th October 2010, 08:22 PM
I really feel that the overall "betterness" of Amitji's masala movies in comparison to the respective direct remakes with Rajini made with inferior directors, tends to cloud people's judgement when they compare him with Amitji. If one cares to look slighlty beneath the surface, Amitji is just no competition.

In a scene,RAJINI will give the Half-Dollar note [ Code word for smuggling exchange ] to his opponent leader R.S.Manohar....
The deal will be that He should give some money after the smuggling is over to RAJINI...
But once the deal is over R.S will try to kill RAJINI to avoid his share...
At the Gun Point SUPER STAR will not get panic, and will be having Drink...

Yes, that's how they end the movie! Rajini will go to the police station to surrender himself after he kills everyone, and they will show Gandhi's photo in the station, and Rajini will say "Naan Gandhi illa, Naan Mahaan alla" or something to that effect. Great movie overall! 8-)

Thalapathy vimarsanam from Vikatan

அதிரடியாய் ஆயுத அரசங்கம் நடத்தி, பாதிக்கப்பட்ட ஏழைகளுக்கு நியாயம்



வழங்குகிற 'தாதா' மம்மூட்டி. அவரது அடியாளாக வரும் ஒருத்தன் அநியாயம் செய்ய, ரஜினி கொஞ்சம் ஓங்கித் தட்டிவிடுகிறார். ஆள் அவுட்! ரஜினி கம்பிகளுக்குப் பின்னால்! தன்னுடைய ஆள் செய்த அராஜகத்தைத் தெரிந்துகொண்ட பிறகு அடிமனசு நியாயம் உந்தித்தள்ள, ரஜினியை வெளியே கொண்டுவருகிறார் மம்மூட்டி!

மம்மூட்டியும் ரஜினியும் ஆரம்பத்தில் பரம வைரிகளாய் மோதுகிறபோது, 'ஐயையோ... படம் முழுக்க இப்படித்தானா...' என்ற பீதி லேசாக எழுகிறது. ஆனால், ஜெயிலிலிருந்து தன்னை விடுவித்தவர் என்ற ஒரே காரணத்துக்காக மம்மூட்டியிடமே போய்ச் சேருகிறார் ரஜினி. அதுவும் எப்படி... எடுத்த எடுப்பிலேயே உயிர்த்தோழனாக!

விதவை பானுப்ரியாவுக்குப் போதுமான 'வாழ்க்கைப் பாது காப்பு' இல்லை என்று சொரே லென்று உறைக்கிறபோது, மம் மூட்டி ரஜினியைக் கூப்பிட்டு, "இவ நெத்தியிலே பொட்டு வை!" என்று கட்டளையிடுகிறார். அவர் உரிமையோடு எடுத்த எதேச்சதிகார முடிவும், கை நடுங்க ரஜினி குங்குமம் வைப்பதைப் பார்க்கிறபோது அவர் முகத்தில் உண்டாகிற திருப்தியும் வித்தியாசமானவை. ஏக காலத்தில் நடந்து முடிகிற அந்தக் 'கல்யாண' விறுவிறுப்பு மணிரத்னத்தின் லாகவத்துக்குச் சரியான உதாரணம்!

'பிரமாதம்' என்று கிறக்கத்துடன் சொல்ல வைக்கிற பிரமையை 'ராக்கம்மா...' பாட்டிலேயே ஏற்படுத்திவிடுகிறார் இளையராஜா. காட்சியில் வரும் இயற்கையான சத்தங்களைத் தன் இசையோடு அற்புதமாகக் கலந்திருப்பது ஒரு இன்பச் சிலிர்ப்பு!

'தன் மகன்' என்று தெரிந்து ரஜினியை ஸ்ரீவித்யா சந்திக்கிற உருக்கத்தைவிட, அதற்கு முன்பே ஜெய்சங்கர் ரஜினியைச் சந்தித்து நிதானமாக உண்மையைச் சொல்கிற காட்சியில் ஆழம் அதிகம். பழைய கதையை ஜெய்சங்கர் சொல்லச் சொல்ல, மகிழ்ச்சியும் வேதனையும் கூடிக் குறைய, உணர்ச்சிப் பிரவாகம் எடுக்கிறது ரஜினி முகத்தில்!

இப்படி ரொம்ப நாளைக்கப்புறம் ரஜினிக்கு உணர்ச்சிகரமான ஸீன்கள் நிறைய! சின்னக் கூண் டுக்குள் அடைக்கப்பட்ட சிங் கத்தை வெளியே விட்டதுபோல் இருக்கிறது!

பட்டவர்த்தனமாய் ஓட்டை விழுகிற பல இடங்களைக் கொஞ்சம்கூடச் சிரமம் எடுத்து நிரப்பாமல், லாஜிக் பார்க்காமல் 'ஆவேசமாய்'த் தாண்டிப் போயிருக்கிறார் மணிரத்னம்.

'நிச்சய வெற்றி தருகிற - ரஜினி என்கிற அதிரடி ஆக்ஷன் நாயகன் இருக்கும்போது, எனக்கே உரிய புதுமையான முயற்சிகளை எதற்காக இதில் புகுத்தி வீணாக்க வேண்டும்?' என்று ஒரு வேளை அவர் முடிவு செய்திருக்கலாம்

It was very unpopular so they reverted back to evaluating with marks.

Those days it was mostly Vikatan & Kumdam that we had to depend for the media (offcourse sooodaaana thinathanthi was always there alongwith other dailys) review. The following week of the diwali Vikatan had reviewed both Thalapathy & Guna on side by side pages.

Thai Meethu Sathyam revisit.

Camp-na ithan camp-u. Garish bright colours, over the top acting, total disregard to logic, and a helpful dog.

Rajini's participation in the Tamizh film "cowboy" genre. I wish Irumbu Kottai had lifted more stuff from the "genuine" "cowboy" genre of the time by including the bombastic music also. Shankar Ganesh also lifted some stuff from Morricone, but who cares. Rajini actually fits in well in the outrageous environment. Though it belonged to Jai Shankar/Asohan/Karnan koottani, it looked like they could have continued more of this with Rajini. Too bad, it didn't last.

One thing, revisiting it, there was lots of unintentional comedy here. But it doesn't mean that you should hate it, there is some decent entertainment somewhere. Maybe the way Rajini twirls the gun, and flipping it to the other hand and back.

Does Kamal have his own "cowboy" film? :think:

I have always liked the film Velaikaaran very much. Rajni totally matches the pattikaatan(No pun intended) coming into the city. It's the Rajni element which makes many things funny in the process. You've got everything in this film. With VKR (Aaa :lol:) as his thaatha the second half is pure fun. "Moodhevi, nalla padiya than vaazthi tholayen". after the birthday song is :rotfl:. Plum's fav KR Vijaya is passable. Sarath babu is good too. Nasser is okay in his early sterotypical roles. And I happen to notice that Rajni films have pretty absurd but very funny nick names (Alberto dicasto roterix, Yemandis to name a few.

And btw, Beatty quween amala :slurp:.

Songs ellam attagasam. IR :bow:. I've to borrow a phrase somebody used in hub here. "Oru padathula ellarum evvalavu effort pottu nadichirundhaalum IR adhai ellam thooki saapidura madhiri music poduvaar"nnu yaaro inge sonnanga. That's completely true.

This film takes a special place in 80's Comedies. Certainly not in the fun league of Thillu Mullu or Guru sishyan but this has a special place in Rajni's filmography.

Watching the mega-blockbuster and AVM's come back movie MURATTU KAALAI (1980)... :smokesmirk:

1980 was such a great year for Thalaivar - a number of blockbusters and superhits. To highlight a few:

54. Billa

56. Anbukku Naan Adimai

57. Kali

60. Jhonny

63. Pollathavan

64. Murattu Kalai

:notworthy: :thumbsup: :clap:

Seems the year started with stylish urban/mafia movie "BILLA" and ended with mass movie set in rural milieu.....

Indeed, Billa is a career defined or assured the stardom for thalivar.

2) thOdi si jo pi li hai
3) aaj rapat jaaayE (rain song featuring Smita Patil - indhiya cinemavil idhu oru kalaachaara mile kal)
4) raat baaki - fantasticism
5) jawani jaane man

I agree with Plum. Heres' an actress who could rev-up chemistry with buffalo if she wants to. Even if I notice that she's uncomfortable doing this particular song. But this song is more of Amitji trying to be sensual. He's truly limited in this respect. Fiat car mela yEri edho try pannuvaaru. To be honest, not many actors could do that. One among those few is Shashi kapoor (who I think is wasted as sidekick in many of the films), who interrupts them at end of of the song.

Hate to say this, Smita-ji has actually, in her career, done things close to what git-ji called as "revving it up with a buffalo".

I mean, kulbhUshan karbandA(What a name!), Raj Rubber, Om Puri, even Shah-ji - her list of co-stars who she has had to rev-it up with is not exactly a bunch of lookers or dashing fellows. It is purely her charisma and sensuality that shines through in these sequences.

Rajesh Khanna in Nazrana. All the shots with his back to the camera helps rev-up the chemistry. Enuf said.

His dance with Smita (who dumbs herself down at many places) :rotfl:

There are scenes with Sri Devi where they actually use bad makeup to make her look dark. Smita again comes off as better actress.

And we a bunch of students were properly ஆஜர் in theater (Sona in Trichy? or was it Maris complex? Don't remember correctly now) when the movie came :-)

Then when the movie made it to the college audi, we noted down the song timing during first show.

The whole gang went to the audi just for the song during 2nd show :-)

The scene in which Rajini slowly loses the grip on VAM's shirt (also aided by VAM) just before the climax caught my attention yesterday. Simply outstanding.

Also in the climax after Valli returns to Kaali, Kaali makes the decision in a matter of few seconds. It was subtly yet beautifully shown by Mahendran and wonderfully acted by Rajini.

Best portion about Raamen aandaalum is
third stanza...
"Ponnaa poopoothu vairam kaaikaachu".
When the song reaches "Kai irukku ozaichu kaaturen" Rajini's fervor reaches crazy energy levels, he throws the stick away and then does a step (about 3-15 to 3-25 in the song) that is absolutely cool, defines the character and sticks to the beat - everything is picture perfect..
Directors/screenwriters have very less contribution in song sequences. considering that , it is wonderful to think how Lyricist wrote this song and choreographer designed that particular movement and offcourse Raaja conjured up the right energy in beats all set up for Rajini to scorch the screen.
As I said earlier - Picture PERFECT.
There has been no better Rajini song since this.
I say this not from a star projection angle, but just considering the energy level Rajini has shown in this song while being uber cool.

True - most of the movies save for a few like "naan adimai illai" awere nicely updated to native taste. and I quite agree with what raghavendran said about Rajini carving out his own style instead of emulating bacchan.
What I miss in Rajini of these days from the Rajini of 80s is moments of "absolute drunken stupor" as seen in movies like Mapillai, Maaveeran where one felt Rajini enjoyed himself. These days I feel like having to see a well santized character, which is "quite out of character" for Rajini. Price one has to pay for new market like children and new age northie aunties.
