'WHATTTTTTTTT'?
'SERIOUSLYYYYYYYY'?
'ONE DAYYYYYY with THALAIVARRRRRR'?
'OMGGGGGGGG'!
Supposing you had no inkling of such questions in your head, then you are not a Rajnikanth fan.
If you are having more curiosity like a cutie kitten and bursting like a 1000 wala cracker on Diwali on my meeting with Super Star for a day, I will definitely brief or flush out the full details starting with Kaala.
Yep.
Kaala.
Personally, I loved the central theme of the latest Rajni starrer - Land is for survival and not for power.
Ranjith has crafted a phenomenal storyline surrounding the slum and the dirty politics deeply mired in the grab-for-land heavy tussle between Kaala and the Politician. Kaala's dad being murdered by the politician adds the extra twist and weight to the already loaded script wherein in usual masala films, it would have been a regular revenge saga devoid of substance and intelligence.
The director had shown his flair and smartness throughout the movie by making sure it's not a run-of-the-mill vengeance story but an out and out social cause where the lives of thousands of people are at stake and Kaala carries on the mantle from his dad by being their to-go person whenever the situation escalates or when he should be in the forefront and fight for his people being their chieftain.
Ranjith's smartness can also be seen in the neat flashback as to how Rajni lost his first love - Zarina - using vivid placards instead of opting for Digital De-Ageing Technology or applying excess make-up for Thalaivar to show him as a youngster.
This naturalness is carried forward to the full length during the initial scenes where the family has an informal conversation or in Nana Patekar's house where the kid tells him "Thank you for not killing him".
The realism is genuine and authentic and not forced anywhere - be it the slum setting or Kaala's family. Some stunt sequences may have gone a bit too much like the climax where Kaala is shot and the godown explodes but Rajni being Rajni remains unscathed.
If Ranjith had thought that it will spring a surprise to the hard-core fans or neutrals or general audience, it simply falls flat as it was as plain as a tasteless Coconut Water that Rajni will be there to settle the scores with the politician.
Nevertheless, he had shown tremendous deftness when he hyped that Rajni would go all-bonkers when the latter said "Kya re, Setting-aaa" but it was his sons and gang who took to the streets and made us (read: me) to wonder and ponder when will Rajni be in the thick of business to take down the goons one-by-one as Kaala is the ganglord and there were no action scenes until then - at least with Rajni being the active participant.
Likewise, Rajni's intro was as normal and realistic as it could have been when he's bowled by a small boy instead of showing him to hit a six of the last ball and winning the match.
Yo Man.
Your title says "Day out with Super Star" and you are singing praises of Ranjith - the Director.
It will be answered in Part 2.
