Don’t be fooled by the title, it’s just a farce. We all know that this movie needs no review whatsoever. As you know, I appreciate pure unadulterated entertainment and this movie is just that. (Also, I’m easily entertained! :P)

I could’ve written this entire post in a one line Facebook status, but decided to post it on my blog for the simple reason that poor AR Rahman’s music is so under-appreciated in this whole affair, okay.
I loved Oh Nanba- SPB and Rahman coming together to create the feel of an Oruvan Oruvan or a Balleilakka- Just epic!! Mona Gasolina is super catchy too, Indiane vaa aptly sung by ARR himself is used extremely well in the movie to bring out the right pheel.

There are actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, etc… Rajinikant is not an actor, it’s a phenomenon that you need to experience and absorb and that remains the entire point of this movie. Nobody goes to a Rajinikant movie to talk about cinematography, locations, editing, story, screenplay. Everybody and everything else (Yes, even Sonakshi Sinha’s mile long forehead) goes ignored when this phenomenon occurs. You got to turn that little logic switch in your head off and experience it. You cannot use laws of physics, gravity, math, engineering or common sense.

Special mention to Santhanam for great comic timing. Jagapathi Babu and random white guy make decent villains but nothing to match the evilness that Suman brought about in Sivaji. The female leads are there, Anushka whoever and Sonakshi’s forehead tried very hard and I appreciate their effort!

Is this my favorite movie ever? Probably not. But it’s still a paisa vasool one, because…
