GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Navenkumar Selva This movie is just Rajini-show all the way through, fighting corruption with his unique style and mannerism,this is surely a win-win situation for the Superstar and Shankar.This is definitely not Shankar's best,movies like Indian and MUDHALVAN were better when it came to showing real life events real,nevertheless this is just pure entertainment.The supporting casts such as Vivek,Shriya and Suman the villain did a tremendous job.The villain had a special makeover which removes him from his original face,brilliant make ups,magnificent cinematography,not A.R Rahman's best work,but certainly a good soundtrack and there were many songs which became big hits,overall a huge family entertainer and corruption fighter.Lets fight corruption in style,SUPERSTYLE...

jmathur_swayamprabha There is nothing new in the story of Sivaji The Boss(2007). It's the ages old tussle between good and evil being given the shape of the honest and sincere hero's being pitted against the corrupt system in Mera Bhaarat Mahaan. But this hackneyed story contains a lot of entertainment for the audience and in the end, this is what matters the most.Our software professional hero Sivaji(Rajnikant) who happens to come from a modest background, earns around Rs. 150 crores by working in the USA and then returns to India to serve his country by providing free education and treatment to the underprivileged through his charitable institution called Sivaji Foundation. However there's a villain(Suman) in the way who considers his activities a threat to his money-making machinery. Alongwith him, the corrupt political and bureaucratic system prevailing in our country becomes a major problem for our hero who meanwhile has to set right his love life also.Finally, our hero loses the legal battle also which is completely in favour of might and not what's right. He is on the road now having lost all his wealth. Then his heart(and his fate) shows him the way to leave the garb of a simple, sincere and law-abiding Sivaji and move into the persona of Boss, the boss of all those who are on the wrong side. How he turns the tables on them and puts his dream of serving his country into reality is the stuff of the post-interval session of the movie.Quite some time back, Vidya Baalan had asserted for one movie of hers that it contained only three things - Entertainment, Entertainment and Entertainment. Well, she only must be knowing better what's the significance of uttering the same word thrice when one would have sufficed. Following the same line, Rajnikant can assert this word hundreds of times for this movie(or any similar movie done by him). Forget logic. Just allow yourself to be entertained by the time-tested masaalas poured in the movie. And then here's Rajnikant, the boss of the box office who won't disappoint you in terms of entertainment at least.I am not going to ask the script-writer and the director(Shankar) as to how our hero is able to convert whooping sums of black money into white money through his money-laundering act controlled from the USA, something which went above my head. If only getting better of the baddies and snatching their moneys were so easy! But then please note that here's not a commoner assigned with this job. It's Rajni, the Boss capable of doing all those things which lesser mortals can't do. And it's needless to discuss the fight and action sequences specially designed for him.The highly illogical script in which doses of romance and comedy do nothing but block the flow of the narrative, quite unfortunately, supports the superstitious mentality of the Indians through the activities of the heroine who's first the betrothed of the hero and then the wife. She believes the talks of a soothsayer regarding her matrimonial alliance with the hero and acts upon them which ultimately lands our hero into jail. Well, our hero has no complaints because he knows that whatever his lady-love is doing is for the sake of saving his life only(from an imaginary danger). And when he has no complaints, why should we? Whatever Rajni Sir does, is capable of keeping the audience enchanted in the hall. Always maintaining his image of a common man's hero while balancing it with his larger-than-life persona, Rajni Sir has conquered countless hearts for a lifetime. He appears to be the director's actor. Hence if he is over the top, the director(and his image in public psyche as well) is only to blame.Shreya Saran has done nothing but filled the quota of a heroine which is a must because the hero has to romance also according to the prevailing norms of Indian cinema. Among others, Suman as the villain and Vivek as the comedian maternal uncle of the hero have done satisfactorily.The movie is way too long and the songs and dances(plus the rom-com sequences) forced into the narrative are responsible for it. Technically, the movie is just okay. Ditto for the music of A.R. Rehman.Sivaji The Boss is the successful fight of a commoner against the corrupt system but the fighter is not exactly a commoner like me or you or any other similar spectator of this movie. This fighter is Rajnikant, the extra-ordinary. He is larger than life which we, unfortunately, aren't and can't. Hence the hero of the story wins his individual fight in the reel life but the cruel Indian system continues to throttle the real ones in the real life.

screen-name-1 Sivaji, a computer engineer from the U.S. returns to his native country with a considerable fortune. Being the typical kind-hearted hero, he wants nothing more than to put his money to use by building a college. And, in the typical fashion of Shankar, those absolutely heartless and corrupted government officials pull the plug on construction. The rest of the movie revolves around Sivaji fighting corruption in the government while at the same time romancing a girl called Tamizhselvi (or Uma, if you watched the Telugu version). The major problems I have had with this movie are as follows:1. This movie is much too formulaic. The hero is the typical perfect, strong, smart, noble, beat-20-guys-up-at-a-time type. And of course, this hero who wants to do nothing but serve his people is up against the typical brainchild corrupt politician of Shankar. Hero defeats villain+hero wins heroine= really weak plot. 2. Tamizhselvi is a supporting character that would probably have standard-audience feminists raiding theaters. She serves no purpose than to stand by her hero looking worried when he gets hurt, and then frolicking around him half-naked during a song. You'll notice that many reviewers who loved the movie left no comment about her other than "Shriya looked beautiful." Also note that she was responsible for landing Sivaji in jail. Because, you know, in masala movies it is IMPOSSIBLE for a hero to do anything wrong. The only thing I can say in favor of the character was that at least she saved Sivaji from being hit by a train (and even then, it required her to take part of her sari off).3. This is a disgrace to physics and physiology alike. Those that have seen the movie will remember the scene in which a young boy on the construction site of the college was electrocuted. Luckily there was a veteran doctor nearby. You'd think that someone who has been professionally involved in the medical sciences would know basic first aid, but then again, you'd be wrong. After this child was electrocuted, the good doc placed him on a convenient platform and gave him CPR, and miraculously, the child woke. There was no mention of an ambulance being called, and the boy didn't have any burns at all that had to be treated. However, the parents were given a lecture by Sivaji about how young boys should be in school. I would have let this one pass, if the movie hadn't done a second scene in which the hero was electrocuted. You see, Sivaji was in jail, and was being tortured at the hands of corrupt officials. To escape, he concocted a brilliant plan in which he would die and then come back to life. He electrocuted himself on a nearby power line. The bad guys find him, and to avoid getting in trouble they shipped him out in a van. After some clever usage of trucks, his friends got the body back, and the same doctor brought him back to life with a Defibrillator. Again, no burns were treated, and this movie forgets that according to common rules of CPR, a Defibrillator is only effective within the first moments of cardiac arrest. Yes, these imperfections and inconsistencies and more await those who choose to see this over-hyped and over rated film.That, and mediocre acting and song-writing.

haritvs Rajini the macho man of Indian cinema back with Sivaji the boss. Shankar, known for his different cinemas restricted himself to different Brand Rajini movie in this one. The end product is good. Sivaji comes to India with money earned (from USA) to setup Hospital and Medical university to serve the poor. From there the film shows the real face of India actually a corrupted India. He is cheated by opponent and loses all his assets.On recovery process, Sivaji knows his opponent has black money, gets some evidences, then blackmails him and gets a share of black money. On thinking of using it, he unintentionally discovers the total black money the state possesses and he start getting all evidences. Using evidences, he blackmails again to get 50% of it and sends the evidences to government, that way rest goes to government.He achieves his victory here (Shankar's work end here) and after that the film starts the personal battle between Sivaji and his opponent. A beaten Sivaji: the boss returns as MGR a.k.a Mottai boss and only pure Rajini magic follows.The movie's sudden transformation from Shankar's movie to Rajini movie fades (even though the Mottai Rajini rocks) the message they convey and leaves no impact (of the message).
