Lyrics: Kannadasan
PLOT:
Aiyampettai Arivudainambi Kaliyaperumal Chandran (for short, A.A.K. Chandran) (Rajinikanth) is a playful young man. Upon completion of his degree, his uncle (Poornam Viswanathan) advises him to attend an interview for a job at his friend Sri Ramachandramurthy's (Thengai Srinivasan) company. The doctor advises Chandran to act in a manner most appreciated by Sri Ramachandramurthy namely wearing a Nehru kurta, telling his full name always, giving importance to his moustache, showing a lack of interest in sports and drama, giving respect to his father's words (i.e., by repeating the phrase "My Father always told me" often) and detesting the concept of recommendations.
During the job interview, Chandran followed his uncle's advice perfectly and gets the job along with a beaming smile from his boss. However, Chandran eventually gets caught when Sri Ramachandramurthy watches him at a football match, which he attends with his friends. He took leave on that day by telling his boss that his mother (who died many years ago) was in a serious medical condition. To escape from the ire of his boss and being fired, he makes his boss believe that it was his (fake) twin brother Indran (without a moustache) who was at the match and not himself. This idea was inspired by a dual-role played by his actor friend Nagesh in a fictional film where he is in two roles: one with a moustache and one without.
Sri Ramachandramurthy (although not convinced but feeling guilty due to suspecting his top employee) wants to see Chandran's brother Indran as well as his mother and wants Indran to teach music to his daughter Sarojini (Madhavi).
Chandran was startled at the request but agreed to it. He seeks his friend Nagesh for help. Nagesh advises Chandran to remove his moustache and go ahead acting as Indran. Chandran was reluctant to remove his moustache but goes ahead with it as there is no other way to continue the drama. The now moustache-less Indran was the anti-thesis of the Chandran as seen by Sri Ramachandramurthy. Indran takes music classes for Sri Ramachandramurthy's daughter Sarojini and the two fall in love.
For most of the rest of the film Chandran was leading a dual life: a sincere hardworking employee to his boss and a typical cool young guy (Indran) while teaching music to his boss' daughter.
How Come Indiran manages to save his job & love form the rest of the story
TRIVA
Director KB advised Thalaivar to do comical roles for a change to avoid being stereotyped as he was doing mostly anti hero, action roles like Billa, Dharmayuddam hence this movie was accepted by Rajini
It was during this shooting at Sowcar Janaki’s house Rajini met Latha as a college student who came to interview him
Acutually this is not the first movie in which Rajini acted without a moustache the first one was Murattukaalai Climax song
After this stupendous success of this movie Rajini ‘s movies first half was interlaced with humour
Madhavi played heroine role with Rajini for first time.
It was official remake of GOlmal Hindi moive
It was last movie of Rajini which was directed by KB
Sowcar Janaki , for a change did not shed tears in the movie as she appeared in tear jerker roles mainly
Kamal sir, appears in climax with his brother’s name Chandrahasan
It is considered as cult classic and often played in TV channels
Visu dubbed for an candidate in interview just before Rajini was interviewed in the movie
The boy who blackmails Rajini in this movie acted as Junior Rajini in Thee another Rajini movie
All the songs were hit
PERFORMANCE:
Thalaivar ‘s comedy timing was impeccable in this movie that too being first time no style deliberately made no fights but still enjoyable
Thengai Srinivasan: Superb Performance . His on screen chemistry with Thalaivar is extraordinary in every scene
Madhavi is also apt
Others do a decent job
Final Word:
A Evergreen comedy of Tamil Cinema Your tiredness will vanish if you see this movie after a hectic day
HOME VIDEO:
Its available in Raj Video Vision, Mosear Bear DVD 3-1, and RAJINI Special
IF You like it Iam Continuing with
Murattu Kaalai, Netrikan, POkiri Raja 80's movies

"Sivaji 3D" to be premiered at Tokyo on September 15. Once again, Rajini mania to take Japan by storm! It 'll release sometime in Oct.
Rajinikanth to play God in OMG's Tamil remake
He is no less a God for his legions of fans. And if all goes well, Rajinikanth may well play himself that is God - in the Tamil version of OMG Oh My God. Of late, Ashwini Yardi, Akshay Kumar's business partner in Grazing Goat Productions, which is producing OMG Oh My God, starring Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar, had been fielding enquiries from the south about whether she was interested in selling the rights of the film.
In fact just a few days ago, south filmmaker Krishna Prasad flew in to Mumbai to meet her. Prasad happens to know Rekha and Chinni Prakash, the couple who've choreographed a few songs in OMG Oh My God. The choreographers confirmed the meeting and added, "Prasad has shown a keen interest in remaking OMG Oh My God in Tamil."
A source told TOI, "The meeting was fruitful. Prasad will soon be making a film with Rajinikanth's son-in-law Dhanush. He will use his good offices with Rajini to rope him for the south remake of Oh My God."
And with God (read Rajini) most probably on board Prasad's remake, Yardi and Akshay are now considering a joint production with the filmmaker. "If you get Rajinikanth on board, the film becomes huge, doesn't it? It's but natural for Yardi and even Akshay to think of a joint venture," said the source.

Thalaivar is back in form of 3D...:smokesmirk:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc_Ik...yer_detailpage
Saw BABA last saturday in SUN tv. It had more substance than Sivaji but the presentation could have been better... 1st half was breezy with nice one lines from goundamani annan and had some nice scenes and dialogules that suits Rajini. The songs could have been filmed better and the fight sequences looked silly and cheesy. From the point, he gets 7 wishes from Babaji, the writing could have been more imaginative. Instead of scenes like kites, neelambari, 10 lakhs, they could have written and executed pure fantasy stuffs which would have taken the movie to other level. The things like saamiyar,back bone etc., made it look like a rama narayanan movie. The confrontation scenes thalaivar have with both Ippo ramasamy and CM purushotaman were excellent...
The movie might do well, if they reshot stunts,climax,7 wishes scenes and re release the movie in 3d.seven wishes scenes if filmed bettter have got excellent potential for 3d.

BABA Audio Review
- Vignesh Ram
Music : A R Rehman
Cover design: By Soundarya Rajnikanth. It's simple and Superb. (Though there are some errors)
Audio quality: Good
Audio company: Star Music
Price: cassettes Rs. 50 / CDs Rs. 175
Atlast universally much awaited and much hyped songs of BABA were released on 31st July. Let's have a close look at the songs of this album
1.Baba Theme (Ekamevadhvitiyam):
Usually Rajini's film songs begin with an introductory song by S.P.B. and this used to be the most expected song by his die hard fans. But here the album starts with a peaceful theme music blended with Srinivas'sanskrit chanting. This depicts the superstar's obsession towards spirtuality. The theme, Rajini wants to deliver through this song is that "there can be only one paramatma" .
2. Dippu Dippu:
This fast number promises to be the introductory song for Rajini in this film. But it's doubtful whether the metallic voice of Shankar Mahadevan will suit for Rajini. This number is really peppy and in bangra style. But it strongly reminds us of some old songs of Vidyasagar inspired heavily by punjabi folk by Gurdasman. The song is written by Vairamuthu. In Baasha, the human life was differentiated into 8 parts and here into 3 parts namely childhood, youth and aged. A poet like Vairamuthu could avoid meaningless leads like 'Dippu Dippu Kumari'. Shankar Mahadevan pronounces Baba as Bebe!!! If his intention was to sound stylish,let the fans of superstar forgive him for that.
3. Baba kichu kichu
As usual, Rehman has introduced a new voice to TFM , of Reena Bharadwaj .S.P.B. is the co-singer whose magical voice suits Rajini a lot. A special feature of this song is that, superstar has rendered his golden voice in the beginning.
The new singer seems to have a voice with a cocktail of honey and wine. Though it's a duet song, it's heavily flavoured with Rajini's concepts and present political scenario. It is penned by vairamuthu and it is a commendable job. This song easily sticks to the lips of the listener and will be a sure hit.
4. Maya Maya
Karthik and Sujatha have lent their voices for this masterpiece of the album. The song is in the usual style of Rahman with enchanting tune and haunting beats. It's sure that the fans are going to be crazy when this song is played in the movie .The songs will reverberate in the Top Ten shows in Satellite channels and in the minds of people.
It seems Vaali wote the lyrics in 10 minutes time after listening to the tune of Rahman over phone (from London). Sujatha's voice is as usual as cool as cucumber and the song diverts into various raagas and pitches with different beats.
5. Raajiyamaa
Those hearing this song for the first time will mistake the voice to be KJY but it's by Jeyachandran. No one will believe that this is Rahman's tune because it's totally different and it sounds like Raja's song.
The whole story of the film and Rajini's present mystical status is well projected in this song by vaali. The song flows like "adhisayam adhisayam Periyaar thaan aanadhenna Rajaji" , which created ripples among the DK people who even filed a case stating that Periyaar is derated by this line. But later as Rajini had promised to change the line, the case was withdrawn. This created more publicity to the already much awaited film.
6. Sakthi kodu
The upcoming playback singer Karthik's second song in this album. Rehman should have had enough confidence in him that he's given such an emotional song to him and Karthik has used the opportunity to display his talent. This song flows well with karnatic base and in this song Rajini asks for POWER from God in order to demolish the evils and do service to mankind. This song reminds us of the"Kaalaiyum neeye maalaiyum neeye".
Overall review:
There seems to be a conflict in the number of songs in the album. Some cassettes seem to have the song 'Deivam Intru' sung by Krishnaraj that resembles the song 'singam ontru purappattathey'. Most of them don't.
Generally the album lacks consistency. A lack of involvement is sensed at all the levels starting from the playback singers to the director of the movie. Perhaps, ARR's commitment with "Bombay Dreams" spoilt it all.
Usually Rehman's songs take time to catch people's mind but stay there for long. Hope this will follow the same trend.
Already this album is in the top of the charts and surely Rajini's magnetism will secure this place for long.

How about Baba Album? Well guys, perceptions differ.
Move Review from HINDU
Baba
A LOT has been said (much of it on surmise) and written about the film that even a word more could only be redundant. Yet till date all this has been about ``Baba'' in the making. But now at last it is curtains down on the larger-than-life publicity jig with the release of this Lotus International's magnum opus.
Probably it is this incredible hype that has boosted expectations again to unbelievable levels. Does the film live up to it?
Fantasy and fun, fibbing and faith, fiction and reality, graphics and gimmicks have all been mixed with politics and religiosity as undercurrents. Yet nothing emerges clear because the storywriter himself is confused about the course to be adopted.
With Rajinikanth at the helm (he is in charge of the story and screenplay, besides being ``Baba'' and producing the film) the project is a viable proposition indeed.
Baba is a child blessed by the great rishis and sadhus, particularly by the 2,000 year-old living sanyasi in the Himalayas, Babaji. The film goes on to a metaphysical, subconscious or even supernatural plane with Baba going to the Himalayas and meeting the great hermit, without even being completely aware of it. He is taught a mantra, which he could use seven times in his life and get whatever boon he asks for. It is a test by the Gods to know whether Baba would ask something for himself and thereby continue with the cycle of birth and death or be unselfish and put an end to being born again in this strife-torn world. Baba, an atheist at the outset, turns a realised soul and understands the greatness of the Supreme Being.
It is more a self-analysis and soul searching venture by Rajinikanth, on celluloid. And because the hero himself seems undecided about his choices, ``Baba'' leaves the viewer too, equally flummoxed.
There is a host of artistes helping to hold the ``Baba'' banner aloft. Sujatha, Vijayakumar, Sayaji Shinde, Sanghavi, Goundamani, Amrish Puri and many more. And of course there is Manisha Koirala. But when a line-up is spearheaded by Rajini, the others are mere appendages. Yet even there, Sujatha and Goundamani make an impression. Prabhudeva and Raghavendra Lawrence make an appearance in their capacity as choreographers. The inclusion of a Japanese face to the cast reveals the business acumen of the maker.
Sujatha, the mother of Baba, cries out that her son has no education — but why, you wonder. Because the initial affluence and euphoria witnessed on Baba's birthday make you feel that the family is far from poor. Later on she says that they would soon lose the big house they live in, but you are not told why. And again why the hero has to become a coolie is not explained. The screenplay jumps about leaving certain sequences rather vague.
``Maya...Maya...'' and ``Shakti Kodu'' are bound to be added to the long list of A.R. Rahman hits. Also certain quips and punch lines uttered with the right intonation are bound to go down well with Rajini fans.
A notable point about political references is that there is no mud slinging or blatant attack on any regime. Rajinikanth has tread on a sensitive track with diplomacy and care. Yet when political overtones and philosophical strains are knit together, the result can only confound you. ``Baba'' does exactly that. The climax tops it all — a Chief Minister chosen by Baba is shot dead even as Baba walks away from everything worldly, with a group of sadhus. The gunshot makes him turn around symbolically — probably to return to what he wants to leave ... the people around him clap their hands in glee. The death of the CM is not at all a matter of concern to anyone around! Again confusion rules the roost.
"Baba" is director Suresh Krissna's fourth film with Rajinikanth. Comparisons are odious but inevitable too. You tend to think of ``Badsha'' even as you watch ``Baba'' and you wonder at the magic of the former, which still remains unsurpassed.
