Shivaji - Logic illaa Magic Something...

As soon as I got ready to witness the most awaited moment, I started thinking about blogging my view on this movie. Whatever the result is, disappointment or an exciting one.
But I hardly thought of writing a disappointed review for this movie. Because I had faith in Shankar and am more of a director follower than an actor follower (nowadays). Yeah, It was not a disappointing one.. But???? ;)

And I am still hesistated to continue this blog right away. Coz, Watching shankar's movie once isnt just enough to make a comment. (Atleast to me!!!) But I just couldnt wait anymore to be here and let you all know how i felt about the movie. Yeah, let me start on it now.

The movie is not for shankar fans at all. There are very few shankarisms u can see. Like, his richness, his taste on female lead's look, locations, sets etc. There are few more of his kinda scenes which are better to be seen than described. All the hard work he and his team has put in the past 1 1/2 yrs for this movie is just to treat Rajini fans. Which I did not expect at all. Rajini's style and look gets better and better from the beginning of the story to the end. When I say this, you all should be well prepared to see the usual Rajini Introduction song with the same dance steps that you all have seen before. Again, Shankar tries to make it different and the location was too good. Situation was equally bad. The least favourite video moments of the movie is the intro song. Which is not that bad too. There is no shortage for comedy and style. Rajini and Vivek has been a double doze for both comedy and style coz both were humorous. Vivek has been stylish in his own way and also equally funny when he imitates Rajini.

Having criticized about the first song, It wudnt be fair on my part to leave out other songs. All the other songs were the best of shankars. Though we can see the usual shankar's formula in vidoes of the songs, It is still and always enjoyable and makes us to question " How the hell he has done this ?" I did not want to reveal this, but i just cant stop myself. 'Adhiradi' is the best of all and 'Style' is just next to the former. These 2 songs were full of visual effects and style. Just style. Where Rajini fans can enjoy them all untill his next movie release. Shankar did not only bring a teenager out of Rajini and also from us. Yeah, After a long time I enjoyed a movie without any thoughts going on in my mind about the story. Particularly in those 2 songs, Rajini has been shown like an upcoming masala hero, and more like a typical innocent kid. People just cant comment on his looks on those 2 songs. I really dont know whether he is the right man for the story... But he is the only right man for those 2 songs. Each and every moment of the movie has been enjoyed by the crew and they have sculptured a colourful statue without a life called message.

Shankar has disappointed his fans to treat Rajini fans which matters more when it comes to business. No offence meant. Where people expect just entertainment and no logic, This is the best place to land at. Thats why I have captioned this as Logic illa Magic something. But the magic is something very attractive.

I may come back to write more on this movie after few more times of watching. I tried my best not to reveal most of the important scenes. And also tried not to reveal many infos abt characters which are not at all there. :P
