Golden times. One of my fav article on Vijay.
WHO'S NEXT IN LINE?: Diwali releases of actors Vijay and Vikram, contenders for the `superstar' crown, are doing brisk business. Seen here are the hoardings of their films `Sivakasi' and `Maja.' — Photo: N. Sridharan
CHENNAI: At the 125th day celebrations of `Saami,' the Superstar almost gave his crown to Vikram, who gently turned it down saying: "Oru Suriyan. Oru Chandran. Oru Superstar." (There can only be one sun, one moon and one Superstar.) There is only one throne and the others would have to work hard to win their chair, said Vikram.
Two seats away, on the same stage, sat a younger but more ambitious actor: Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay. To encourage him, Rajnikant had told the crowd that Kavithalaya's next `Thirumalai' would see Vijay in a new avatar. It came good. And how. Vijay hasn't looked back ever since.
`Thirumalai,' `Gilli,' `Madurae,' `Tirupaachi,' `Sachien' and now with `Sivakasi,' Vijay has arrived to stake his claim to the throne.
An average movie like `Sachien' that released along with `Chandramukhi,' is on show for 200 days.
You know the star's status when a first-day-first-show generates mass hysteria, when fans turn fanatical and transform a movie theatre into a dance floor.
If you've watched Superstar movies, you know the pattern: a few male chauvinistic "how-a-girl-must-behave" lines, goofy comic interludes that involve kicking the sidekicks, oodles of style sprinkled all over the song and dance, a couple of gravity-defying fight sequences that can give Matrix a complex, colourful costumes, punches and punchlines, all leading up to the inevitable flashback and the revelation of the conflict and the rise of the hero back to the position of power which was once his.
But what drills home the `successor' imprint deep into the subconscious is the clever manipulation of Superstar symbols and cues in the film. Be it Sivakasi riding into a wedding hall as the `Maama Un Ponna Kudu' song plays during a wedding or when Sivakasi in the second half of the film gets an MGR look-alike to win over people to have the audience on their feet.
The crowd then goes crazy as the Superstar look-alike dances to `Pothuvaaga Yenmanasu Thangam.' Soon, Sivakasi joins the jig with the Superstar look-alike on stage. It's a rage.
And then, there's him dancing along the `Superstar Jodi' Nayantara who plays herself (for the `Kodambakkam area' song) to give the crowd enough reason to come back for yet another show.
While Vijay has successfully sold himself as the Superstar `successor' to the B and C centres, it will be tougher for him to convince the urban audiences given the crude, crass chauvinistic sensibility employed in his cinema.
A little refinement of the language, doing away with sexist statements and fine-tuning his own set of signature style skills and he should be king. At 31, the `Ilaya Thalapathy' has time on his side.
Besides, the man once called Shivaji Rao Gaekwad, soon to be known as `Sivaji' — the king — is still around.

Yes. My favourite too. Sudhish Kamath wrote it, no?

And all he needs to do to reach there is make some sensible movies, be it a masala or a family drama or a love subject. Lately, his choice of scripts have been good. A little more attention will give him the blockbusters.

The `Superstar' genre
Yes, Vijay is here to carry Rajnikant's `shtyle' forward. And he does a pretty good job of it, says SUDHISH KAMATH
The imitation works... `Ilaya Thalapathy' Vijay with Trisha in "Gilli"
SUPERSTAR DOES not act as often as he used to. Or maybe `act' is the wrong word because he does not need to. He just needs to be there. Anyway, the point is that he has not been around.
But his brand of cinema is alive, if the success of `Tirupaachi' is any indication.
Tirupaachi is formula-filmmaking at its best with a script which goes like this: First half: Hero introduction song, much like Annamalai (whistle, whistle), brother-sister sentiment, item song with Chaaya Singh, Superstar style comedy, sentiment song, sister gets married to city, Hero meets heroine, song, one out of the three villains bumps off someone important and pushes hero to the edge. Second half: Two songs. Five fights. Hero kills all villains. Numbering some two hundred and eighty seven people in all (approximately, not exaggerated though) including `Pan Parag' Ravi, `Saniyan' Sakade and `Pataasu' Baalu.
With a plot like that, you have no choice but to depend on the star to deliver.
Tirupaachi"
Which is what Vijay does in `Tirupaachi.' Just like he did in `Tirumalai'. In `Gilli'. In `Madurey'.
In Superstar's footsteps
With his mannerisms and a style of his own, the `Ilaya Thalapathy' does remind us of the `Thalapathy.' Yes, of Superstar. One would have thought that no one can ever get into Superstar's shoes but Vijay surely seems to be getting his feet in shape. Critics might call him an imitation. But they also would admit that he does a very good job of it and more successfully than other wannabes.
Let's face it, we have just got to see Superstar on screen twice in seven years and his last film was not exactly the usual `Superstar' brand of cinema. He might have grown old yet, like Abbas says in Padayappa: "What a man!"
But because he has become choosy about his films, we don't get the variety of cinema he used to entertain us with. The masala doses. The truth is that we are all starved of cinema of the Superstar variety. Barring Vijay, the imitations are many and poor. We love Superstar not just for being him, we love him more for the kind of cinema he represented — the kind where he does Superman stunts. Don't we just surrender? Willing suspension of disbelief. The cheesy special effects, the comic timing, the brave do-gooder who will stop at nothing to ensure justice, the man who does not need to chase the girl, the representative of God. When Trisha gives Vijay a bracelet from the Raghavendra temple in `Tirupaachi,' we know who has taken over the legacy of that brand of cinema. The Superstar genre. We want to see a matinee idol thrash the trash out of the bad guys. In style. Period. That's Superstar cinema.
And only Vijay does it consistently with panache, pizzazz and all that jazz that basically means `shtyle' — the quintessential element of Superstar cinema. Make way for the prince.
PS: The king returns next month with Chandramukhi. Yay!
Yessss.Quote:
