Super Star - The Boss

I write this post with the music of recently released Sivaji movie flowing through my ear. I don't know the reasons. But for some reason this man magnet named Rajinikant- more profusely known to be the Superstar-always attracts me as ever. Cinema in itself being a more powerful media to influence a layman like me, and this man has only utilised the medium to powerfully influence many a layman like me. I remember reading an article during the days when chandramukhi was released and was running in the theatres. It was about a software engineer narrating his experience of watching the movie with his 4 year old child. He narrates as how once he saw rajini on the screen he turns childish at par with his 4 year old child and starts explaining the great prowess of this man called superstar. The father of a 4 year old child , who never rememebers telling any story in the past to his child just goes about telling all fancy stories about the world of superstar . And thus goes the narration. Thus is the case with every fan(atic) of Rajini Kanth. He can make you feel childish yet as powerful as the sun, as big as the world and the list goes on. He can make you feel everything you envisage in all your secret dreams. And all the more imprtant is he can do it in an adroitly convicing manner. So this is not a silly post to just heap praises on a man i like and may not be liked by many other. As in any case am only trying to find the logic for such an advertent attraction towards this man. The reasons may be as varied as to be the simple natural stylish looks, to his unparalleled comic deliveries, to his powerful acting prowess and many so such things. This is one hero who can make you laugh your heart out with his simple antics, fast paced deliveries. This is one guy who can act any emotion out of his eyes. Though most of his movies are acceptedly action masala flicks, who cares as fas you are so much entertained that you just can't wait to hear the next news about this man's world. No doubt this man had his share of failures both in cinema and politics. But all those does not in any way undermine the mammoth achievements this guy has managed to achieve. It simply needs a character to achieve things of this sort and still keep people gasping for more. As some one says you may not even have to quench the thirst of the people . All that you need is to keep the people thirsty. But this guy had done more than that. You will still not find more powerful heroic scenes than a Bhasha Movie or a Annamalai movie. Though i have to admit that i have grown a lil bit to be seriously affected by them now. But in those adolescent age those were so simply contagious. Contagious for the right reason. It pumped in you an attitude to be the winner. Winner of glory. There are whole lot of people who with all their learned logics simply write off this guy. No offences meant to them . But one of the several criticism against this man is that he is a monotonously masala film making star. But people tend to forget the past and easily in case of abhor situations. if one happens to look back to the initial stages of his career one would be stumbled to see the variety of roles he had portrayed and the magic he had created with those roles. Be it the villain character in numerous movies, or french bearded flirtatious friend of the Hero, or a man who struggles through all his life (here the character's lifetime from the age of 6to that of 60 years is captured and Superstar simply captivates you), or an angry doting one handed brother, or a sexist old man. He had done them all and done them in all so manner to simply make you like,love and want more of him. He has with all these achievements built a fort of his own. He is in a place where no one can deny anything. But still he tries as much as possible to do only one thing. Entertain as much as possible the layman. That those will always keep him the emperor. Even by pure economics he is the emperor. For the amount of money his films can churn. All that i wish now is that i get a chance to see Sivaji day one as has been the case with most recent Rajini Movies.
