I still remember the day I watched Gentleman, standing in a long queue. From that day, I had watched all of Shankar's movies till 'Shivaji' in theatre. The one thing which has not changed yet. It is the long queue. Every time I go to his movie with a skeptical feeling of "Will he be able to live up to the expectation of his previous film?" "What new interesting things he would have in this movie?" But till now, he has not failed, at-least not me.
Song picturization is always a treat to eyes in his movies. And, he knows the knack of blending CG, seamlessly. It is worth mentioning the effects made in 'Sun light' song. I was literally shocked seeing the first frame of the song. "Something is different. Oh man! Rajini was turned into british color. Oh! even his lips. Great Job". Shankar, the gentle man's obsession with glass in form of bus takes a new level in 'Shahana' song. The Geometrical figures with Green house like bang-low made me greedier than Midas. Shankar always loves grandiosity and wants to bring it in each song. But, you need a good theme to make an impression. "What else can be a good theme than a 'King's Ordeal'?" He succeeded with that in Indian(Maya), Jeans (Anbe) and Mudhalvan (Mudhalvane). He did it with 'Vaji' song once again. It wouldn't be complete leaving Shreya. She was steaming hot in that song. I wondered about the highest payment to Vali for his incoherent 'Thee thee' lyrics. But, it all made sense seeing the choreography for it. The music, the style, the theme, vocal etc simply mind blowing.
I never expect story in Super star movies. It is the same candy wrapped in new cover. But who cares? It is all about the entertainment value. Rajini still rules there even without 'Punch dialogues'. I liked the idea behind Vivek making punches. Definitely, this movie raised the bar of expectation for Rajini movies yet to come. I feel the next director has to smack his head with ideas to beat it!!!
