Last week, I had been to Chennai, better known as singarachchennai.  I had been to my aunt’s place at mandaveli.   I stayed there for 3 days.  On the first day, I had the privilege of visitng the famous kapaaleeswarar kovil and it was a very good experience.  The whole locality is a place jostling with enthusiasm and I felt really at home during my visit here.  I saw orthodox iyers moving around , carrying on with their usual routine .  I also happened to see teppa kolam .  I put some some fish food in the kolam.  The kolam is surrounded by four directional MADA street.  Here in this street, one can find many places where one can buy pooja items., devotional things etc.  the whole surroundings of mylapore and mandaveli are blessed with lot of trees and one can feel at ease while staying here.

The morning the next day, I happened to visit marina beach which is around three kilometers from my aunt’s place.  It was around 6 am in the morning…. the active routine of the chennaites were apparent as many people were jogging at the pavement and many shops were already functioning to the full capacity.  I had a lease of fresh  air and I was lucky to see the beautiful sunshine over the bay of bengal.  On my way back ,   I happened to see a Lambhorgini Gallardo zoom across the beach road at more than 160 kilometers/ hour till it disappeared near the napier’s bridge.    Later that evening , I went to luz corner in chennai and I had icecream in ORCHARDS, chennais answer to corner house. The quality was really good and the prices were comparitively lower .  Hence one can find many people thronging there.    Hence words are not the right parameters to describe about this wonderful place..

The next day , i was visiting adyar as i had some work there.  i was really impressed with the design and structure of house layout and it was a very serene and quiet place.  there were lots of apartments very much similar to the ones in mylapore.

on the third and final day, i had been to a relative’s marriage in south boag road.  The marriage was lavish and the whole marriage hall was centrally air conditioned and it also had concerts where two reputed singers sang popular tamil numbers.  Not to mention the delicious food that was very traditionally south-indian.

Chennai is by-far the best place for living, excepting the hot weather, there are exceptionally good educational, health-care facilties to name a few. Hail Singaaara Chennai!!

A typical conversation from a now-a-days gaming fanatics- ‘Hey hang on , i am not done yet’. ‘whoah my creature is like spooooky dude!’  ‘Cute!!!’ ‘ hey my spore is way better than yours man!.

If you are wondering what this ’spore’ is all about , maybe you aren’t the average gaming freak. To catch the spore fever, just check out the no of videos on ‘youtube’. EA and Maxis, the creators of the Sims legacy have come out with what be can rightly adjudged the best creative game in the history of game making-’ SPORE’. the trial version of the game is already out-’Spore creature creator’. Taking gaming to a new dimension altogether, Spore promises to be one othe most exciting games and might as well overtake CounterStrike, Unreal , AOE as the best multiplayer game yet.

What Spore offers is truly amazing. To define it in one word -100% creativity. U basically get a cell and you have to build your creature from that single vertebrate cell by giving it various parts which can be associated with a creature. The alien looking creature , can easily fit in your alien sci-fi movie. In the full version of the game, apart from making your own creature, you can easily build your own society- you can also build your own buildings! If thats not enough, you also see whose civilization is better- apparently based on Darwin’s ‘Survival of the fittest’ theory.  One creature might be better looking than the other but it might be overshadowed by the adversary’s fighting skills and power.

To quote some of the features of this creature, you can make it dance, sing, express a variety of emotions such as anger, happiness etc ; apart from the usual locomotion and other stuffs. It can be apparently seen that a whole lot of hard work has gone into the making of the game. All applause for the game developers and a more special ovation for the one who came up with the concept.

Certainly the next generation in gaming, this game is the one which has to be watched out far. EA can truly be a little relaxed for quite some timeafter the release of the game, i think.

Way to go, EA and Maxis!!

Brief Intro and Concept :     Written by Kamal himself, his Magnum Opus has failed to live upto the hype given to it. The movie, loosely based on the ‘Chaos Theory’ starts off with Kamal’s narration and the story begins in the 12th century depicting conflicts between Shaivites and Vaishnavites with Kamal playing the role of a Vaishnavite, being made to drown tied along with a huge idol of the sleeping Vishnu, apparently for objecting against the Chola King(played by Napoleon) as the latter wanted the Vishnu idol to be drowned in the sea. Then the story zooms to the 21st century with our protagonist,Govindrajan, a biotechnology scientist working on a multibillion dollar project(The vial) which he then realizes can be a potential bio weapon capable of destroying nations, and after getting to know that certain people in his organization are going to use it for ‘other’ purposes, he decides to run off with the vial(to safer places). In the process, his friend and his  japanese wife get killed, the death caused by an American ex-CIA agent Fletcher. The death of the japanese wife makes the reason for the entry of a Japanese sensei which apparently hasn’t got anything to do with the main story. You will easily observe that many of the characters have got nothing to do with the main story and it rather becomes extremely boring and fails to keep the viewers entertained. Mallika Sherawat plays the aide of the American villain. Eventually, the story goes places from America to India following the journey of the vial and Govind comes across an orthodox Iyengar family where he meets Asin. The vial then ends up inside a Vishnu idol courtesy the 95 yr-old iyengar lady and the story moves at a snail’s pace from then on. Asin’s orthodox iyengar traits have come of well lest the train scene which could have been avoided. (Asin earlier capped the role of the 12th century Vaishnavite’s wife).

Synopsis: It can be eventually noticeable that the characters of Kamal with no relevance to the main story consume a lot of screen presence which is not only irritable but also makes one yawn. The 8ft tall muslim, the punjabi singer, the social worker to quote make up for a lot of screen presence and make the movie blah blah shit with no story connection at all. Kamal’s apparent disliking of George W Bush can be witnessed in the movie as he makes mockery of the latter throughout the movie. There are also some critical errors in the movie, like even though Bush speaks good American English at the start, his accent fails later and Kamal has reverted back to Indian style English. Ditto with the American villain. And we all know that no punjabi singer can speak Tamil as good as a normal Tamilian , which is another accent blunder. I do not know whether he spoke Japanese the way Japanese do either. The only saving grace was the telugu speaking Balram Naidu, who with his witty comic timing and dialogue entertains. Kamal has excelled superbly in this role and has spoken Tamil the way a telugu speaking person would normally speak. His humor goes a long way in providing relief to the otherwise horrendous pace which can be compared with the way a vehicle would move in Bangalore traffic. The peak of irritation was reached thanks to the song sequence of the punjabi singer and a parallel story of his suffering from cancer which makes up as a sorry excuse for the lack of emotional scenes in the movie. A movie could do without this pathetic emotion and this infact makes one wonder why this crap had to be tolerated at all in the first place.

All these drawbacks apart, a lot of appreciation has to be credited to the visual effects and the make-up team( the reputed make up team from the US). The background artwork and music have to be lauded and there has to be a special mention of the hospital scene where 4-5 Kamals share the screen. Great work. But all these positives do not make up for the essence, do they? Wasting tons of creative visual effects on characters with no meaning is one thing, and that at times Fletcher looks like his mask is going to fall off and the lighting effects of the ‘lighthouse’ Khalifullah seemed to have faltered at places. The Tsunami scene has been executed to a fairly good level. There is also a Karunanidhi look-alike and a clipping of the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu J Jayalalitha. Nagesh, unarguably the greatest supporting actor of Tamil cinema has been wasted in a small role. Occurences of a butterfly flying is funny. The reputed Chaos theory is better explained in the English movie ‘The butterfly effect’. Kamal has a very good concept but he fails to understand one keyword which is the defining factor-Entertainment. People have a feel-good factor only if they are entertained after watching 3 hours odd of moving images. And the movie fails to do just that. Mr.Kamal, if you are trying to base a movie on the Chaos theory, then just stick to that. Instead, it looks like this Chaos theory concept is just a lame excuse for the record of 10 characters,half of which can be rendered useless as they do not sync with the main plot. Everyone knows that you are a pioneer when it comes to acting, you do not have to don 10 roles to further assert on that fact. Not only have you ended up making the movie boring, but the movie fails to deliver on lines of Entertainment. And i feel that some peoples’ thinking that Kamals’ movies are way ahead of the times are rubbish. True, a few of his have really stuck a chord in the minds of critics and has received critical acclaim, but it is wrong to generalize on that by saying that he doesn’t compromise on certain facets for assurance of commercial success. This movie may not be sized measurably in the 2-time National award winner’s bandwagon. The K.S.Ravikumar-Kamal Hassan duo which worked very well for movies like Avvai Shanmughi,Tenali,Panchatantiram has failed for this movie. The movie would have fared a lot better if the focus wasn’t on the 10 roles and instead on the Chaos theory which could have been beautifully laid stress on. Kamal lacks the finesse of Mani Ratnam in putting the concept across and I am afraid that this movie will be perceived as a boring movie rather than an entertaining and concept-based one.

I would like to add that this review is not meant to offend any Kamal fans but myself being a Kamal fan, I could not digest my disappointment after seeing the movie. Not only has the movie failed to live up to its hype, it also made me yawn and my eyes were moist at the time of the Avatar Singh’s emotional cancer scene. Notwithstanding the other drawbacks, the biggest nonsense of the movie surfaced when the doctor tells Singh that the bullet wound caused blood loss cured him of his cancer. Oh! come on! everyone knows and we presume that even you, Kamal must know that cancer isn’t like a venomous snake-bite which can be cured by loss of certain amount of blood( I do not have to explain medical facts regarding this nonsense but I believe that I have a certain amount of common sense)

We all know that for a man of your stature, your movies are way better than those average dandanakka styled flicks and we, being your avid fans go to your movies with expectations befitting your capabilities. Please do not come up with disappointments such as this one again.

On a closing note, I would like to tell you that you can enjoy the movie if you go to see it without expectations of mammoth proportions( probably the mistake which I did). The fact that Dasavatharam received mixed reviews isn’t so surprising to me to say the least. Hope your next venture, Marmayogi, turns out to be promisingly different (which your movies are most of the time as always) and most importantly entertaining as well. All the best, Kamal

Okay, in this age of high flying technology and gadgets beaming with new software and Windows unrolling its new windows Surface to hit the market in a few months(years), it all makes me wonder if they have got another rusty old question answered- Longetivity. Just the other day, I was planning to watch an old movie that was written by me a few days back and what do i get? The ol DVD doesn’t run because of some damned redundancy cylcic error, apparently because it seemed to have scratched up at a sensitive place. Man, what the @#$%# ! Lets face it, it is also apparent that we know the no of times we reboot our system right now and the no of PC components that we get replaced are way higher than what the situation used to be half a decade back. What I am trying to point out is, I am trying to question the vulnerability of today’s tech gadgets. My friend has a NOKIA 1100 from the time God knows when and he is still happy with his phone because he tells me it serves his purpose vey well. Just for communiction-thats it. One of my other friends has a Nokia N-gage and he isn’t happy- why? Because his high flying mobile is down with a blasted trojan or some similar virus which cant be removed so easily.
All these things put aside, I had a pleasant surprise in the form of a tiny little black plastic gadget. Any guesses? Its the floppy! I had to carry a ppt file to a friend who didn’t have net access and when i was searching for a mode of transport for the ppt, I stumbled upon this accessory, well known a few years back. I put the non-expecting black piece into a square hole called the floppy drive and I was all too happy to know it still worked! Hey it served my purpose! I was able to give my friend the ppt using the floppy. Now by no means I say all of you revert back to floppies, heck no, but if you give it a deep thought, don’t you think that to an extent that this new technologies have their focus diverted on something-say storage space, cool ectera features and things like that? The brainy people also know that since there will always be new gadgets springing up from improved technologies, they do not have to focus on the longetivity of a particular item.
In the yesteryears, floppies were a fad.
Currently, CDs and DVDs are.
Tomorrow, Blu ray disks and HD disks will be.
But as they say, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Heck No.
A Floppy will be a floppy and a DVD will be a DVD.
But 3 cheers, why 3? even more to the Floppy for that one factor forgotten today- Longetivity. All hail Longetivity!

In what could be seen as a major setback to Indian hockey, it plunged to a new low by failing to qualify for the Olympics for the first time in first time in 80 years. This is no doubt ‘The saddest day’ for the national game of India and is considered to be a disgrace to Indian hockey. This outcome is to be pondered over seriously and in the better interest of the game, serious changes have to be implemented. With cricket already being the toast of the nation and indian cricket doing well now-a-days, this one wouldn’t have come at a worser time. By losing to England 2-0, India failed to qualify for the Olympics. Who is to be blamed? The selecting committee? The IHF president Gill? No one is sure but the blame just passes on from one person to another.

Only a few months back, they went on a hunger strike because they thought they lacked the deservation for their victory in the Asia Cup. The fact of the matter is – If you do not get critized for your losses, you do not get apllauded for your victories as well. Cricket is no doubt the predominant sport and it would very well seem that even a small win is highly celebrated, but considering the pressure that the palyers face due to huge following, it would only come to us as a fair deal. Now in no way am I advocating that Hockey victories do not deserve such parties, but sadly, the fact is it has a mediocre fan following and looking at the ways things are shaping up,I would say hockey is treading on an unknown perilous path. It is potentially in the dangers of becoming one of the forgotten games and would end up like just any other sport, inspite of having the distinction of being the national game of India.

The steps that might be considered as appropriate is to have a transparency in the selecting committee as well as selecting a new coach. Now this coach must be bold and must now succumb to the politics prevalent in the sub-continent and must be able to churn out the best team that India can possibly have. Politics is one of the dominant evil-doers to Indian sports.(Remember how Parthiv patel got into the Indain team without playing even a single Ranji match?) There are even questions about Gill’s tenure as IHF president. What are the steps that the governing body of Hockey will take to decide the future of this once illustrious sport? That remains to be seen. Indian hockey better take some bold changes for its upliftment as it is now walking on the never-before walked path ever.

What is Mr.Gill going to do now? All eyes are on you,president.

A splendid display of teamwork shown by India over the past week to bring it its first ODI series victory overseas since the historic Natwest series win in England way back in 2002. Dhoni has again proved as a captain that he is well worth the responsibility he has been assigned. Great work by the inexperienced Praveen Kumar but Pathan and Piyush failed to fire. The master blaster needs no appraisal since it is just another one of his capabilities.Bah! What would India do without him! Harbhajan showed that he is a man of great character and his over was a vital break-through. Despite the racist allegations and the highly objectionable crowd behavoiur, Bhaji has endured all of that mind games and his wicket especially the one of that of Symonds was really pleasing. Praveen Kumar’s dangerous ability to swing the ball both ways proved too much for the Australians and their power hitters had no answers to his aeroswingionics. Lee was surprisingly unimpressive and he went for a lot of runs.

With such a performance on their backs, India has surely built  a strong core but the question still remains- Only one out of the big three are currently playing in the team and it looks like India is not really missing Dada and the wall Dravid. Surely India can use their experience and their expertise but has their ODI tenure coming to a halt or will it persist? This is left to the selectors. Vengsarkar did not do a bad job this time around-The Indians did have a memorable series Down Under lest the controversies. One thing surely can’t change. Players may come in and go out, but Tendulkar isn’t out until he has an injury. The fact that even though Dhoni and Tendulkar were not fit during the match, they played really well. Sachin persisting groin pain and going on to score another important knock just justifies how great an individual he is. Dhoni, even though not his swashbuckling self now a days, was good in captaincy especially his brave and interesting choice of bowlers. All along, it was quite an interesting series and India did have a lot of experimentation. Finally what matters is India has dispelled critics and brought home the cup. Way to go,India!

Now the moment you would come across such a topic, you would consider it to be a rather dull topic. But heck no, it is interesting and the following set of observations are on account of my own experiences as well as some of my friends.

I am going to discuss the thoughts of people say who like a particular person X but now Y. And I am like to have a thought on how relativity influences dreams and nightmares in the minds of people.

I have found out that from my observations people like people who sort of resemble themselves more if people like themselves. That is…. say if I like myself and I am a heavy built person and given 2 characters – say the undertaker and john cena- I would like the undertaker more because he sort of resembles me in a relative way. And my friend who — say is shorter than me would have a natural tendency to like john cena. These likings have a great dependence on appearance and has got very less to do with one’s character. I also would like to give an example of my cousin who is a born genius, is not of very tall stature and is the topper in his field, and he likes Sachin to an unbelievable extent. All these likings may not have any connections with role-models or crushes but just the people whom you like.

I was having a word with my friend about how some people get some visions about the future and how some other people get some strange instances in their minds which might not have any connection with their present life at all. According to one of my friend, it goes like this. [If u studied relativity, then you would understand this better]. People from the future emit wavelengths from their brain to themselves in the past at a speed greater than the speed of light and since then things would not be occurring at an normal speed when travelling back in time, the people in the present would be getting things from the future which might happen in their own life on account of the Lorentz transformations. And sometimes when people feel they have had a feel of their previous birth, since according to some other theories where the soul remains constant while only the body changes, the body with which the soul was in the future emitted certain wavelenghts which could be intercepted only by the new body that is controlled by the soul. Hence visions from the future as well as from the distant past can be explained if we look at it from a relativistic point of view and if we consider the brain to be an entity which transmits certain unique frequencies.

Now when we come to discussing phenomena of dreams, there are a number of ways different people like to look at it. The following part on my interpretation of dreams would not be justified if I did not make mention about the great Sigmund Freud. According to him, dreams were imaginary manifestations of what a person could not have in his real life. I have made this observation that if you have a whole day going out and having the same routine and if you think about one particular thing only for say — around ten seconds and that particular thing is not at all related with the rest of what you are thinking, then that one particular thing is going to come in your dream. I will give you my own example– I had my math exam on monday and i was now thinking about anything else except math the whole day on sunday. Just when i was taking a break from working out math, i just thought about my hometown for an instant and then continued studying math. That night, people in my hometown and instances only about my hometown came in my dream. Hence this study is an unusual phenomena as I have not read about this finding elsewhere–somewhat scary to me as well.

Hence I conclude by saying that as we can see, just like the way relativity has a role to play in many fields, it has a role in to play in some fields the human brain has not thought of before– The human brain itself. I am working further upon this theory and would like to present a more generalized statement of my findings in the near future. Thank you.

Hostel – the one word people get familiar with once they get into some reputed institutes and which comprise of people not concentrated from a single area. I was lucky to be one of those people because I just dig this hostel life. I recently got admitted into NIT -Ham and at the initial stages, was a little bit hesitant to even think about how this would turn about to be,considering the fact that I have been a day scholar all my life. Now I was new to this. And I felt I wasn’t prepared.

But that’s where I was all wrong! Because Hostel life rocks to the core people ! And I really mean it!Sharing or not sharing a room, hostel life is indeed different. For ones away from home, hostel life is frequent and most of them do enjoy it. No other place where you can be with your friends as long as you like. Say I go to sleep only at 1-2 am. Think I study till that time? Hard chance! I just hang out with friends big time! No other place where someone won’t restrict you, atleast in my institute! I remember I was playing TT with my friend for 3 hours with the first match starting at about 12 am i think! There are also these other instances where the TV in the common room has riun for more than 24 hrs non stop [ think it was on a Ind-Pak ODI match which happened to fall on a weekend]. The unexpected sleepovers which were experienced when one fell asleep in others’ room while writing assignments discussing among friends. All the incidents and the things which happen in a common hostel cannot just be described in a blog.

Where the nice things reside, there is a flip side to it too. Hostels are no new to gang fights,thefts etc and our hostel was no different. A good thing is that these gang fights die out quickly and the thefts wasn’t usually that valuable. You do not want to be a hero and be involved in a gang fight unless you want to spend a week in medical attention-take it from me. Hostel fights are contagious. It starts out between two and ends up with around a dozen on each side. At the end both would have repented for their actions which for most of the cases would have been concerning a trivial issue.

Oh yes! Now comes my favorite part! The food that they serve here is amazingly delicious. Getting potatoes almost every night itself is really cool. And to think of the many Saturday and Sunday mornings I missed my breakfast and the even more instances I forced myself into the mess when it was just closing. I am lucky to get good food and I make sure to it that it gets well complimented, by eating it in lots of course! Then there were these food fights with friends when something like ice cream or custard/ Gulab Jamun/ rasgolla is served as a special sweet. Man! I rule in that. I make sure that most of the time I eat all of those sweets from my friends’ plates kept in my table just as it has arrived before they even start eating. Myslef and my friend one namely Anirudh are good champs at that.

Friends+good food+good facilities—> Great hostel life people! So please don’t miss out on this must-experience phase of life! and I am sure many of wouldn’t be repenting

Well, i cant really think of anything socially concerning to blog about , so here i am basically jobless here and blogging about something which i found rather dull and boring to blog about, nevertheless i am here for that.

I had my first basketball stint last week, and whoah did i dig it or what!! i loved every moment of it. Basically i watch a lot of NBA and i really wanted to play it big time, now that NIT has got one, i thought why not make use of it.

Saturday, 4.00 pm: a group of pros are working hard for the possession of the ball. Right onto the side walks a stranger, keenly interested and watching from the sidelines, but not having had a single moment of playing basketball before. The stranger asked them whether he coulod practise and the pros told him that he could . And there started my first basketball stint. As great one. I made good use of my height but obviously my dribbling basics were low and i could not get the accuracy i wanted. I learnt a few moves about the basics and i was taking a break while all of a sudden, the pros started playing a match. I opteed to watch from the sidelines as I didn’t want to put them in a dilemma .

Minutes pass by and one of them asked me to play for him while he went to take a break. Hence began my first experience at playing this not-so-popular-in-india game. Basically very enthusiastic about the game, i braced up as i tried to defend one while he approached me. Then rather to my own then their confusion, i had blocked my own side from scoring a goal. Then the ball came into my possession and i was asked to pass the ball. But the beginner that i am, i looked down while dribbling and zap- the next moment the ball is nowhere to be seen- its in the hands of my opponent. Minutes tick by and ithis time i was trying to adopt a full front on approach while trying to defend the ball. I was confident that it would be difficult for the opponent to get pass me, considering that i tried to cover a large space, but still no, he got it pass under my legs and i was wondering how can i do anything to my team. Further losses were undone as the player returned and i was back in the spectator or may i say bench corner.

It was a good and cool experience for me, the first real sporting experience as I never really got a chance to play it during my life. Its been areally lon time since i blogged and i could’nt think of anything else to write about.

Hey do comment on how this blog was because i want to know whether i still have those writing skills with me.

No matter what great reviews people write about this movie, it still cannot do full justice to this great combination which is surely going to make the cash registers ringing non-stop. I have had the privilege to watch Sivaji last week and i thought this would be an ideal way to pay my tribute to Thalaivar. Shankar, well known for his movies with a strong social message is not different with this one. The big budgeted movie is going to rake in huge amounts of money and there is no doubt, apart from setting records. It is a must-watch for any person who would like to see a good movie.

The story is mainly revolves around black-money and how the protagonist reveals this and does good to his land. Rajni, the undisputed master of style brings 2 new styles with his coin-flipping and gum popping. The number of times he says the word ‘cool’ is simply amazing. All songs are really superb needless to say with the magic of Rahman. Editing by Anthony is amazing. The first half has a good dose of comedy and the Rajni-Vivek duo is simply amazing. The first half might have little to do with the main story but nevertheless it is far from boring. Raghuvaran plays an important role that of a doctor. Shankar has tried not to overplay the image of the superstar and it has come out very well. All the stunts are executed very well and effective use of strings have been done unlike other tamil movies where heroes fly in air without proper physics. The no of hair styles that Rajni sports are simply astounding and the parts where he imitates MGR, Sivaji Ganesan and Kamal Hassan are worth mentioning. The film does not drag as one might have a fear. The villain’s role(Adiseshan) is played by a popular telugu actor Suman who has not overplayed his role. ‘Bose’ Venkat as his aide is good. The song Oru Kudai sunlight where Rajni appears white is yet another technological milestone in Indian cinema. The film has over 20 minutes of shooting at MSRIT, Bangalore and the climax has been shot there as well.
Sivaji might as well go down as one of the greatest movies ever made on indian soil and might as well be a feather in the cap for Rajni, Shankar and the others. Breaking all milestones and records not withstanding, one question still remains unanswered put by former Andhra Pradesh CM Mr.Chandrababu Naidu. The effect that it will have on indian society is still questionable. Surely Shankar has brought forward a very existent corruption in Indian democracy through Sivaji, but will be conceived by people as another Rajni-entertainer or a film with a strong social message? That perhaps reamins to be seen. IT raids on popular celebrities and former politicians have not been new, but what if the chief ministers of some states themselves have black money. The impact that this movie remains to be seen, nevertheless lets not forget the impact made by an earlier tamil movie Kannathil Muthamittal, a movie about the condition of Tamils in Sri lanka which initiated a dialogue between the Sri Lanka and India.

The range of this movie has certainly reached new heights, being the first tamil movie to be released in Britain. The depth of love that Rajni fans have for the demi-god cannot be described through words. While the whole of Tamilnadu celebrates like its just witnessing another diwali, the world admires and appreciates the movie. Sivaji is a movie which is free from flaws but the arrest of Rajni without even knowing what is in his laptop is a flaw which i hate to mention. Otherwise the movie is for most of the part flawless.

On the whole , SIVAJI-THE BOSS is a must watch regardless whether you are a tamilian or a teluguite if you are in India. Anyways the movie is doing well in other languages as well as seen from some of the movie websites it seems.. Truly SIVAJI is the boss indeed!!!
