Super Star RAJINIKANTH IN AS Kochadaiyaan || ARR|| Directed by Soundarya Rajnikanth

[mappi]

Apart from Rajini and Kamal, its MSV, Kanadasan and KB who have to be talked about. The allignement in thought between the 3 has resulted in producing this song. The 2 characters are there in the song lyrics, where Kamal runs behind materialistic things and Rajini takes the chair of the Master with wine. The song suituation also stresses on abondaning ones duty ... that really did not go well with Rajini resulting in this song. It sounds quite simple while reading the few lines, but the explanation that resulted in development and finaly meeting an accordance is a gem found by these 3 gentlemen. And as SoftSword (how are you ?) has said, the whole attire of Rajini, esp. the shoulder movements punches the lines/words when ever necessary. On the whole a song to cherish in which ever way its looked at. Even the movie goes on to explain the attachement and deattachement thru the 3 charater, giving the truthful repenting climax that cannot be avoided.

Baba - it has many ifs and if nots, leading a straight path to the drains. And thats on the cover. As we all know never judge a book by its cover. What baba has in it are the realms of life, simply put as the needs of life (a bit like Maslow's Pyramid of needs), fulfilling which you have the insight to achieve the most. Without touching the Baba encounter as it complicates even more the complications, the 3 phases of life talked about in Dipu Dipu song is just the trailer of the next 150 mins, where the implication of human desire on materialistic things are showcased. You start with not knowing what (baby - the kite episode), then you get dependent or influenced & confused (kid - kite episode, but this time quite specific), then money (young man 1 - "MirandaCan-kick-girl-save" episode), women (young man 2 - Market Nilambari), housing (young man 3 - Nambiar's request), reproduction or give life to (middle age and its fruit - saving Japanese + marriage). Now comes the ultimate question - Known is a drop, unknown is an oceane - the choice of the unknown is told in the commericiale climax with the turban and the knife - I allow you to look at Road not Taken suituation. And ofcoarse there are several references to chakras. The movie introduces it to us, but where they failed is to educate the audience where these chakras are referenced at, resulting in the "Manisha-exercise-Rajini-chakra-list" episode seeming to be a long punch dialogue.

For info : the whole kite episode are the first 2 pages from "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramhansa Yogananda – copyrighted material is available for free on internet. Basially many things told in the naration in this autobiography follows as a shadow throughout the film.

But here, one should not confuse with Naan Kadavul / Anbe Sivam. These 3 movies share a indepth sight on the unknown supermo (interpreted by the creator's belief, knowledge & understanding) where Baba is +1 giving a positive angle on the path to be taken, Anbe Sivam 0, does not dare to take a stand but gives clue that one for all - all for one, and Naan Kadavul -1, draws in all the dark shades of Gods and Demi gods but emphasing on the cosmic concepts under backdrop of an imaginary 7th world of Jeyamohan.

Lets not embark there for the moment. Lets explore it little by litte while correct subjects are brought into discussion.

The above is entirely my POV.

Fanboy Comment (the fanboy in me has been poping out since I started writing this ... LoL) : BABA Rap => Ulitimate, tharu maru. (that should calm him now)
