"Give me one time style yeah!!" Well you don't have to ask for more as Superstar Rajni gives you just that in Sivaji, his big-budget extravaganza that released this week amidst a hype like never before. This time he is the archetype of the service-minded NRI as he sets out to serve the people and in the process take on corruption. He sets out on the daunting task of starting a medical college, setting up his "Sivaji Foundation" and also finding his choice of a wife, one with "Tamil Kalacharam".
The NRI software engineer returns home with a huge bank balance which is evident from his travel in a ritzy Merc to his residence in an estate probably leased to Director Shankar by the Dubai Sheikh(kidding!). Apparently, he is helplessly forced to bribe officials to start his venture. In the process, he is forced to sell all his assets to fund his kickbacks to the corrupt bureaucrats. Finally, when he is made the fall guy and taken to court, this laptop-weilding, goon-kicking and Rolex-flashing 'Bachelor of Social Service' decides to deal with the state of affairs his own way and at this juncture, we return to typical Rajni business.
Sivaji manages to convey all of Rajni's social and spiriual messages. One would be given to assuming that they are politically motivated though the actor has so far distanced himself from that mad rush. At the moment, all he has to say is "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer...." and it seems, he just got richer by 35 crores.....
