Today (Sep 9) on Vinayaga Chathurthi day, the first look teaser of Superstar Rajinikanth’s Kochadaiyaan has been released. The producers Eros International released the teaser at 9.30 on Youtube, and it became an instant hit.

The teaser of Kochadaiiyaan says – “There are heroes and superheroes. But there is only one Rajinikanth.” The photorealistic Rajinikanth walks in style, with hundreds of dancers behind him against the background of a castle.

Kochadaiiyaan is the first photorealistic 3D film produced in India, through motion capture, performance capture through facial scanning, and intensive research and development of emerging technologies.

The teaser carries mixed reports from a section who watched it, as they feel the graphics are of poor quality and not up to international level. Anyway nothing to worry as there will be a huge audience for the film.

A single composed by AR Rahman will be released later this month and the audio launch is being planned for October, around Navaratri. The producers of Kochadaiiyaan is trying to release the film on 12/12/13, Rajinikanth's 63rd birthday.

Let me not get into a "replying" spree but stick to be general and talk about the teaser. For me, Kochadaiiyan rests as a prestigious project and I will always take a precautious step while talking about it. I would like to first talk about some aspects that I saw in the teaser, before entering into budjet constrains - direction - music - story and all, moreover setting myself a bit back from making global conclusions that too after watching a 1m10s teaser.

In the teaser, $$-$$ => seconds interval

18-20 - ariel view of a palace (seagulls noise) => Rajini not seen
25-26 - the arena (crowd cheering) => Rajini not seen
28-30 - horse back (horse nahing + horse foot-step & dust noise) => Rajini not seen
32-33 - warrior back, warrior jump (sword swing noises) => 1st time you see Rajini for a macro second
36-40 - explosion, Fullframe warrior, zoom on angry-face warrior (explosion sound followed by war horns) => 2nd time Rajini seen, this time a full 1 sec
43-44 - 1 leg thavam (lightening sounds masked with war horn thunders and sword swing noises) => Rajini, but the low-angle-camera does allow you to pin him out
47-49 - Horse ride, group dance, kick-sword-&-brutal-kill-with-spear, thin bamboo logs falling, King-arthur-style-sword-burying (drum box - possibly a war theme music) => 1st and last frame you have a quick glimpse of Rajini
56-58 - Raja Nadai (theme music - possibly intro song) => Full 2 seconds Rajini

So you have only approx. 17 secs of hyper-fast-editted visuals in the whole 1m10secs teaser. In that 17secs, Rajini is present for 5 secs and in that 5 secs, you actually see him for 3 secs and those 3 secs are a flash. Well ... (don't wish to continue further, think the msg is passed)

A teaser is not from the final cut. But what I saw was an enormous amount of precision on the contrast. The 3D models are fabulous, yet there is a problem with the scope. The scope correction is post-production process and I beleive its ongoing. The above is just an icing analyse, but if I take one such frame "kick-sword-&-brutal-kill-with-spear" was completely briliant. Each movement was captured throughly and in this brief second, the RR was excellent.

Comming to the final 2 seconds that seems to have disappointed many. Again all the movements, including the shadows of the group artists, the lighting effect while Rajini is walking towards us, not to mention the hair and face of Rajini are captured excellently.

Pinning the highest hope on ARR. Even computer games have better graphics than This.

I thought indians were some of worlds best computer graphics makers, correct me if im wrong.

I am correcting you ! They are not. There own track record(s), stands as testimony.

Well Computer Games looks better because,Company like Sony spends anywhere between 150 to 300 Million for developing A Game.

Which Fublic you are talking about ? Who enjoyed Singam II? This is a new product for Indian market, It will be either whole heartedly accepted or rejected by its Core audience (Age 8-14) anything beyond that would be a bonus. Given she is a new director.
