Cool. The word of Sivaji. I just watched it on the the 15th June 07 at 9.00pm The movie rocks. Heres the spoiler :

Sivaji (Rajnikanth) is a rich NRI(Non-Resident of India, a person who works overseas but invests their money in India) software pro. Son of caring parents (Manivannan and Vadivukkarasi), and the nephew of an ever helpful uncle (Vivek), Sivaji comes to India with the larger than life dream of running universities and hospital for the benefit of the poor, his people back home.

Sivaji has to however contend with Adi Kesavan (Suman), a slimy crocodile of a educationist and a hospital owner. He has vested interests in not allowing Sivaji to get on with his ambitious projects. Sivaji, however, has his heart set. Despite running into a non-cooperating administration (the red-tapism prevalent is exposed in an irony-filled humour), Sivaji soldiers on. He unwillingly greases the palm of venal babus and politicos to get sundry permission required to build the infrastructure.

But Adi consistently turns out to be the spanner in the works and even goes to the extent of unseating the government to stop Sivaji in his tracks. In the meanwhile, Sivaji falls in love with a midlleclass Tamilazharasi (Shriya), who is the daughter of uncompromising parents (Raja and Uma Padmanabhan). Sivaji, with the aid of his uncle, goes out of the way to court the girl and her family. The scenes involving the two families are such a lark that they bring the theatre down in laughter.
The Famous Scene is, the pazaga varom scene(watch out for it, its really hillarious)

Tamilazharasi, despite the fear engendered after a fortuneteller predicts calamity for Sivaji if she marries him, finally agrees to be his life partner (the scene at the railway tracks where she accepts as him as his lover is both romantic as well as very humorous).

His light-hearted attempts to look fair are also very funny (by wearing an astronaut suit which is air-conditioned)for eg. But on the business front, the evil administration and wily Adi ensure that Sivaji loses all his wealth and all his dreams lie shattered as a dust heap.

Sivaji has nothing left in life, and in a heady taunt Adi tosses an one rupee coin, in an effort to say that Sivaji is now a beggar. Sivaji is now a transformed lion, he vows to use the same one rupee coin as the ‘investment’ to take not just Adi, but all the money sharks. Rooting out black money is his broad and dramatic theme. Along with his uncle, Sivaji plays smart, but under the law tricks, to shatter the wits of the villainous group.

The way Sivaji goes about is very gritty and provides the film with the right lift. The way he brings in all the black money, which he prises out of the evil hands, ingenious and inventive (it is through the hawala route).

Sivaji manages to build his dream projects with lot of arm twisting and sweet villainy. But Adi and the other baddies hit back, they plot and get Tamilarazhsi herself to reveal all the details of Sivaji’s modus operandi. They even kill him when in the custody of the police. But they cannot getthe details out of his personal laptop (it has all the minutiaes of his transactions) as it is voice-recognition password protected. Sivaji is however dead and the laptop would not budge for any other voice command (this is a smart usage of modern techno gizmo to carry on the narrative).

Raguvaran then brings him back to life, by the using of the defilibrator. Since he is known to be dead, he renames himself the friend of MGR(lol). He is then also known as mota boss as he shaves of his hair to prevent suspicion. He then kills of the villan at the end in his own school.

What they have done in this movie is explain and show hoe corruption and black money(money which are taxable but have been hid from the government) affects.

The Songs are:
Ballelaka, Nayantra Appears only in this song(special appearance). This is also a so-called less hip song.

Style, from what i heard i guess this is the theme song.

Vaji Vaji is a really nice song. Rajini looks totally different. It was good scene today.

Athiradee is really hip. The secenes were just captivating and amzingly done. Heard, that the set was in Spain.

Oru Koodai Sunlight This song so rocks, it resembles english songs.

Sahara Pookal This song is something romantic, but i should say it was good. The set is literally made out of glass. From top to bottom. Which makes the set look cool.
