World is not a remote control my friend to play what you need…
It is as simple as this…Most guys watched the movie Titanic….In one scene, there are two parties held in the ship. One in the upper deck and the other in the lower deck…The one in the upper deck is totally formal with a dress code, sipping wine, conduct code, table manners, and dance code etc…The other one in the lower deck by the workers where it is like a college frat party with No rules/conduct : drinking beer, all drinking games, throwing beer on each other, uncoordinated dancing……Definitely neither one of them can go and enjoy the other party….i.e. the workers cannot enjoy the formal dressed-up party nor the ship’s captain can enjoy the frat party…They have different ways of enjoying and having fun……It is really hard to understand…..but it is the truth…..

I think you have to be in the zone to enjoy the spark, rather than just criticizing it from standing in the moon…So just chill and respect if others enjoy watching SRK, AB, Rajini or kamal movies although you cannot and be happy for others who do enjoy watching them…
You cannot get fresh air in the cities compared to villages but you do enjoy the other facilities that you get in a city…So if people really enjoy the fresh air in the village, just respect them rather than saying that they are illiterate and they should come to the city…

FYI. Please note that national game status is a temporary one. Both Hockey and Cricket are British sports. You don't have to have a special pride in calling Hockey our national game. Hockey has been very well undermined by IHF. They deserve to lose the national game status

hi man this film is a remake of malayalam film "Kathaparaumbol" its a srinivasan story who also acted in the movie Rajini is just doing the role don by malayalam film star Mammooty.so its not a original story its just copied. so dont put any challange. ok
RE:Rajni Top Class

RE:Rajni Top Class
by Manav on Aug 04, 2008 08:03 PM
FYI, it was made in Malyalam first. So first challenge Tamilians to come out with such kind of an original script, later challenge others to make such.
i hav not watched kuslean but i did watch the mallu version. After the speech, mammoty comes to know abt his frnd barber(srinvasan)& visits his house. The first sight of mamooty twds sreevnivasn is awesome. Mamooty breifly talks to him & gets' his wifes & childrens introduction & tells him that i hav to leave for another project & vl be back soon. what does this mean is that let sreenivans's childrens finish their course & i will then fund for their education. this is reality no too much excitement. bollywood can never think that in their films.

India is like a family...we fight among ourselves, but when problems strike..we defend them together..... Rajnikanth and Amitabh are an institution by themselves so all the followers of each institution are defending and offending eachother...relax and keep watching!!!
Yes, I too am bowed down by the mass hysteria that Rajni's film and he as a person creates among his fans which I am definite no star in the world would be able to do. But I have never much liked his films because always Rajni the actor was nowhere to be seen or missing. Its been always his style, his mannerism and over the board hype being created by script writers and directors to show him as a God. But I certainly feel even if it was disappointing his mass fans, once a year or twice a year, he should have acted in such films where we could see Rajni the actor or atleast Rajni the individual. That is what should be the ultimate satisfaction any actor who loves cinema as an art seek. I don't know how many times I have seen Dalapathi and how much I loved the movie. All top notch artistes Rajni, Mammootty, Geetha, Arvindswamy, Mani Ratnam. I still feel Rajni's best was in Thalapathi. And if Tamil film industry really loves and respects Rajni they should make him immortal by giving him very good memorable characters and not just a stud hero. And Rajni too should understand that whatever makeup he does or the entire team tries to project him as young, there is a limit and one cannot always look young and play handsome hero roles.

Hi Mr. Jayaprakash Balan, I respect your comments on SuperStar and your thoughts on him. I would like to point few things which i thought i should after seeing your post. Rajinikanth as you said has done some beautiful roles in the late 70s and also in the 80s. Even in Thalapathi, he went with the script made by ace director Maniratnam. But at those times, he was just a Star just like KamalHaasan and others. But latter when he started givin commercial films like Annamalai and Baasha, which were most welcomed by his fans, not only by the fans but also by the general public(otherwise movies like those would have become like BABA), producers, directors and every one involved in the film started pouring pressures on this SuperStar, not a star by that time, to make that film hit in the BO. So it all boiled down to one individual. So i dont think theres anything wrong that SUPERSTAR like him wants to do commercials which will create a must return atmosphere. Even his fans and general public wants the same. One more thing i wud like 2 make here. Looking young is not in the make up that goes in the artist, by the way he handles the character at the age of 57 with ease.
RE:Agree with you !!!
by JACOB JOHN on Aug 04, 2008 05:46 PM
This debate seems worth reading of all the others posted. I am not a fanfollower of Rajnikanth, but I can see how well Rajnikanth carries hinself as a performer. He is here to entertain and that is what his fans expect from him. He is trying to live to the expecatation of his fan followers. It is we the public who donot want the Actor to act , we want entertainment. A handful of people are there who really understand art and Rajnikanth one day would probably satisfy them also.

RE:Agree with you !!!
by DINESH BABU on Aug 04, 2008 08:20 PM
No Sivaraman, agree to you,Last 25 years it is because of Rajini entire India is living. Music, Direction, story every thing is by Rajini. No other actor movie released anywhere inTamil Nadu. In all the movies Rajini came as he appears not even a single make up especially Sivaji, in all the songs he appeared as it is. Rajini is God! Rajini is next CM! next PM! next US president! Baba a movie after relaease of Aalavandhan made every theatre richer than Bill gates. The recent movie Kuselan is making all Kuselan into Kuberans. Ok?
BTW,No actor can be God. We are not fool to believe any actor to be aGod.They are just actors. But the quality of the actor matters.
RE:Agree with you !!!
by Sivaramakrishnan Swaminathan on Aug 05, 2008 10:47 AM
even after baba release, he gave back the money 2 all those who suffered losses... ur so called QUALITY actor did nethin like this??? he'll produce all the commercials like aboorva sagotharargal kind of.. n for movies like aalavanthaan n dasavathaaram, he will seek someother's money..
my friend, all those who oppose rajini will b waitin eagerly 2 c his movies atleast 2 c wat he has done in tht movie.. thats the power of SUPERSTAR... i pity u after cin all those craps by you sayin pm cm us president etc.. thr r some ppl like u my friend who dont like the power n status of sivaji rao gaekwad in the industry.. nuthin can b done reg tht.. wat ever crap u post, hes the SUPERSTAR n no other can even dream of comin near him!!!!
n reg ur comments on "keselan into kuberan", plz chk the box office report of the movie before u write nethin..
Rajini is a good actor. But not the Bollywood type of machoism or super energetic type of SRK. Watch the differentiating roles he enacted in Tillu-Mullu (Tamil Version of Amol Palekar's Golmaal). Right from his first appearances in Tamil Movies, he has been a super hit. His "Idu eappidi Irukku" ("How's it" in Tamil) in 16 Vayadinile (At the age of 16)was in everyone's lips in late 70s. His mannerism - more than acting skills stole all our hearts. But he too has given flops. Spacing between his movies and the amount of thought going in to each and every scene in his movies, differentiate between his and other movies. Because stakes are high. His being the super star of India is 90 % hype and 10% truth.

by Manav on Aug 04, 2008 08:15 PM
whata RU? living Godzilla? Upendra is 100 times better than Rajanikanth, moreover he is great director and a better actor than Rajanikanth. Shivarajkumar is indeed an awkward looking guy, but he is again many times better than this chappar. BTW,all their films are not a hit. for that they have to give extreemly good films, Unlike U guys who see any crap of the chappar. Coming to superstar, he is a super star in TN and for Tamilians not for rest of the countries. Its just that hype U Tamilians create over his movies and the national news channels that have no other programs make news about his movies obviously the program would be made by a Tamilian or financed by a Tamilian. Just think about the way these channels handled the case of Arushi speaks about their credibility.
RE:Rajini
by rocker on Aug 04, 2008 05:17 PM
yeah thats y everyone knows him... infact every national news channel is so jobless that they cover up a no one before his every movie release....
Dont know why these Rajani fans have to criticise AB all the time and seak as if AB is inferior. These guys should understand 70% of Rajani's hit movies are remakes of AB's movies and they were no where near to AB's performance. Could he really beat AB when he enacted DON, Amar Akbar Antony, Deewar, Khuddar, Naseeb and many more movies? definitely not as AB's performance was way ahead of Rajni's.. but then Rajani satisfied his fans who never saw those movies and slowly became a demigod, but AB's fans did not support him when he started to play the same angry young man when he was old like Mrityudaata, was a flop bcoz AB's fans matured to say him it was enough. Now U can see AB doing versatile roles like a villian, comedian, ghost, oldman and anything he wants and he is exelling in them. Every where in the world, A movie becomes a hit only if it is good and the actor is a bonus in it, but in Tamil,movies are hit bcoz there is a star in it and not bcoz it is good. SO its the taste on an individual, so why should Rajani fans always degrade AB? meanwhile even north indians should just keep quite if they dont like Rajni as there are people who would want to waste money on him, they have no problems, its their money so why should U be botheredd aboujt it and pass stupid comments?
RE:Rajani Fans
by RR on Aug 04, 2008 05:10 PM
I second it. I am a AB fan and as u mentioned I stopped ceeing after a stage when I felt he was acting in craps and now he is doing good, but AB as a person I hate him especially after he became loyal to a party known for cheap politics, after the land grab act etc. he has the head wieght on him which is not likable nowadays by anyone includes me. Hence the anger of tamils on him, I agree but I dont side them when they say he is not a good actor and rajini is superior to him.
In fact the tamils look to rajni as a superstar because he had done good deeds, a decent & simple guy and downtoearth person, which I like but definintely not as a superstar and not heroworship to the extent of doing palabishek, taking arthis and all, this is really going crazy.

manav, most of the mental rasini's movies are remakes of bachan in the 80's and 90's., even his so called super hit baasha is a rehash of Hum (only the second half became half and vice versa). real star and artiste is kamal whose movies are more remade in hindi like Chachi 420, Devar Magan (virasat), biwi no 1 ( sathy leelavathi), AB's AAkree Raastha (oru kaidhiyin diary), Sigappu rojaakal (red roses by crappy rajesh khanna), panchathanthiram (loosely based Masti) and the list goes on and on...ask those mental fans about this. the answer is mum no speech!!

I dont see anybody saying their film industry is the best like Tamilians. Everybody looks at films as films and nothing more than that. So dont imagine things. In Bangalore or in Karnataka, irrespective of who is the hero, the movies are hit only if they are good. So nobody does a hero worship here unlike U guys. BTW, ur own God Rajanikanth comes to Bangalore, watches the Kannada movies and gets rights for remaking them for himself and for his son-in-law

U guys cant debate, U can only fight. If someone criticizes movies, U take the fight in to language, culture and god knows what all. If someone critices Rajanikanth or Tamil movies, just stick to that, none are criticising Tamil langauge and culture, but U guys always end up defending Rajanikanth and Tamil movies by abusing other langauges and cultures, so naturally it gets in to a fight and not a debate
