I think the finishin note was good enough..
where he dies with pride even in the movie as well...


otoh, there is another observation...
while Kamal and Rajini who had Sivaji to do the father roles in DevarMagan and Padayappa, they showed him fall dead, and there follows a funeral scene... on the screen they fulfilled their wish to kolli vechufying as his son...
last week when i watched dhaavani kanavugal... the movie by itself sounded like a tribute to SG...
while he was introduced, there was a title card saying nanri to SG something...
and KBR intentionally does not show Sivaji dead and he did avoid the complete sequence... and in the last shot when he was shown, he was shown as Nethaji in the mirror with a immortal look there is another title card... he wisely avoided any sequence which says he dies, as he chose make his character to be remembered as immortal with the nethaji's face.

anybody noticed?
