Watch Sivaji: The Boss For Free

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This movie is just Rajini-show all the way through, fighting corruption with his unique style and mannerism,this is surely a win-win situation for the Superstar and Shankar.This is definitely not Shankar's best,movies like Indian and MUDHALVAN were better when it came to showing real life events real,nevertheless this is just pure entertainment.The supporting casts such as Vivek,Shriya and Suman the villain did a tremendous job.The villain had a special makeover which removes him from his original face,brilliant make ups,magnificent cinematography,not A.R Rahman's best work,but certainly a good soundtrack and there were many songs which became big hits,overall a huge family entertainer and corruption fighter.Lets fight corruption in style,SUPERSTYLE...

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.

I watched sivaji with lots of expectations as it had the dream combination of shankar and rajinikanth and arrahman, but the movie turned to be a out and out typical Rajinikanth's movie with glimpses of shankar's skills and a half baked storyline.Rajinikanth has delivered a mind blowing performance as Shivaji and also as Mottai Boss.The songs were visually pleasing to the eyes .The biggest letdown was from shankar who has directed the movie with a flawed script, as a lot was expected from him.And also from arrahman who songs were average when compared to his other songs .I really expect rajini to act a movie like thalapathi before he retires from cinema .

I know people love Rajini, i know people love Sivaji because it is tailor-made for Rajini fans with style, and i know Shankar's product has given more grandeur to Rajini's superstar status. I could rate this movie higher because i did enjoy the fun element in it, but i guess my expectations were way above this. Well, why shouldn't they be high? Th director is Shankar, and the last thing i expected is for him to come with a wafer-thin storyline (the story's no show at all). Next is two disturbing facts. As a movie-goer of Tamil films, i'm getting concerned because of Shriya's inclusion in this movie. She, i have to say, is crap. She is not a proper actress, and the biggest problem, she only has skin show and can't modulate in Tamil. Tamil cinema will only progress further if they start paying respect to their own language and start at least hire actresses who can modulate the language properly, instead of giving tax exemptions to Tamil titles. Secondly, this is the MOST expensive Tamil movie ever to date (Dasavatharam is more expensive, and will take over once it releases), so what if an avid movie-goer asks 'what is the most expensive movie you guys ever made?'. I'd have to show him or her 'Sivaji', which by production, theme, storyline, and quality, and even performance, is not at all a good movie. This is not a movie that can make an Indian hold his head high up and shut the mouths of Westeners who stereotype us as being unable to make real quality products. It's like Shankar flushed all the 70 crores given to him? Where is the money gone? Songs of course...
