Dinesh how is the music in the film? Live up to earlier shankar-ARR combo or Rajini-ARR combo? The audio itself was very good as we all agreed when it released, does the picturization make it better? Is the BGM powerful?

Thineshan, the BGM was terrific!!! much much better than the muted sounds in anniyan or CM. I dont remember Trumpet being used anywhere, if thats wat rajni fans consider to be apt BG for SS. Other than that, BG for Fight scenes and gethu scenes are simply superb. :clap:
Athiradee song ROCKED the theatres. So did Style. Vaaji vaaji song's set was awesome. You will have to watch it to beleive it. Sahana sounded even more beautiful with the visuals. Only Ballaleika fell short of expectations :(
Sivaji- My review
(Rajni fans who've not yet seen the movie Sivaji, dont waste your time in reading this review of mine. The tickets for 21st day shows are selling out. Go and get it first!!)
First things first, The movie is an out and out Rajni show. For ppl who do not know how the screen presence of the protagonist lifts a movie to a great level, here's the example. Rajni steals the show with his style, action amd comedy sense. He carries the film in his shoulders throughout. He makes it very clear that its not the number of roles the hero plays in a movie makes it better but its the charisma of the lead actor.
Sivaji, has a very thin storyline and is quite similar to the assumptions that the mediapersons were making before the movie's release. But the presentation is racy and makes the movie a memorable one. The purists may argue that this is not Shankar's best film but its very true that this is Rajni's best since Baasha.
Sivaji has great commercial value and the movie is targeted on Rajni fans and Rajni fans alone. The film is sure to go down with them, which obviously would make this film a grand success.
Apart from Rajni, the two ppl who've contributed a lot to this movie are A.R Rahman and K.V Anand. When Rahman's rerecording takes the movie to greater heights, K.V Anand's cinematography literally makes the viewers spellbound. The super 35 format and the innovative 4k resolution technique ends up in giving a crystal clear picture quality.
On the sore points of the movie, the portrayal of heroine Shriya's character and the dragging first half finds a place. But Rajni's one man show and the superb second half puts these factors behind.
So, guys, dont go too much into the logic factor. Go and enjoy yourself watching the movie. Afterall, Rajni is the only hero who can make us cheerful in our otherwise mundane life!!!

also, in the title, it was ARR's name that got the maximum claps/whistles/screams in the theater, ofcourse after Rajinikanth's name........and there were many fans in the theater who came to watch shivaji, primarily for ARR.........:clap: ......if Rajini is the biggest mass hero, then ARR is biggest mass MD :clap:

What I thought of the picturisation of Sivaji songs:
1. Balleilekka - Locations chosen were very very nice. Choreography however was pretty poor, I think its Brinda, well whoever it is they've done a bad job. The dance moves didn't suit Rajni at all. Coming to think about it, it didn’t suit the backing dancers aswel! They even gave poor dance moves to Nayantara, she could have been used so much better! (but she did look hot though :D ) 7/10
2. Vaaji Vaaji - Wonderful sets, they song screams grandeur. Shreya's just beautiful, and her dancing is equally beautiful and elegant. Rajni also looked stunning in warrior/ Roman clothing! One thing I didn't like about this song was the use of those little guys. I think they tried to add a little bit of comedy to the song, but personally i don't think it worked. It just spoiled Blaaze's bits of the song, where he says "Thiragina tha, thina, thiragina tha". They could have made Rajni lip sync this part instead giving it to the little guys! :roll: 9/10
3. Style - ONE WORD: Wow! My fave song in the album now, thanks to the picturisation. Gugenheim Museum in Balboa, was an excellent choice of location for this modern song. Rajni turns completely white, and it looks superb. It supposedly took one year to do the graphics on this song and you know what it really paid off! I’ve read that they grafted some white girls skin onto Rajni’s using CG, to achieve the effect. All the costumes they gave him suit him very well, and the choreography is mindblowing. Prabhudeva has gotten the best out of Rajni's dancing abilities. Shreya handles the moves with ease. Very bold, very modern, very Shankar. This song is one of the saving graces of the movie. They really have done justice to ARRs trend-setting, mould-breaking number! A very well deserved 10/10.
4. Sahana - This song was picturised quite well. I’m not too sure about the set and costumes though. I don't think the whole glass thing was that impressive. Also, the costumes given to the backing dancers looked a little cheap and tacky. I'm sure they cost a lot, but it didn't look it. Rajni pulls of the song with such grace. Shreya, again, brilliant! When I watched it, the first few seconds of the song where Udit sings before the instrumentation begins, was missing. I don’t know if this was just when I watched it or if it was in all cinemas. 8/10
5. Athiradee - Very nice choreography by Lawrence. The only annoying thing was the gun shots over ARRs fine music. Was this really necessary? Ok, do it once, but the repeated gun shot sounds over the music, just plain annoying! Nice use of graphics in the song aswel! 9/10
OVERALL, STYLE songs picturisation is the out and out winner! I want to see the movie again, just to see this song on the big screen once more!
