TAMIL RAJINI MURUGAN
EDITOR'S PICK
'Rajini
Murugan': Barely entertaining, mostly regressive (IANS Movie Review)
Rating:
**
Cashing in on the Rajinikanth sentiment to the T, Sivakarthikeyan, a real life
Rajinikanth fanboy, saves a very ordinary and regressive film from turning into
a boring and unbearable experience. While it is partly entertaining, and thanks
to Sivakarthikeyan and Soori for that, this is the kind of film you forget the
minute you leave the cinema hall.
Even with its predictable storyline, Sivakarthikeyan makes the film work, and
only he can save a film like this. And it goes without saying; he's a man of the
masses and knows exactly what will work with his fans. Luckily for him, it works
yet again in "Rajini Murugan". It may work again given his immense
following among the youngsters.
If there's somebody to watch out for in the film, it has to be Keerthy Suresh.
Though she doesn't have much to do, the ease with which she essays her character
in her own voice, is an indication of a confident young actress. She's a delight
to watch and shines in her scenes but it's sad that talented artistes like her
don't get to add much value.
Replete with cliches and almost everything that you may have already seen in
Sivakarthikeyan's films - unemployed wastrels, stalking, punchlines that are
delivered with great timing and the village milieu - his latest offering
"Rajini Murugan" works solely because of the actor's presence.
Actress Simran Bagga says she has landed a powerful role in actor Sivakarthikeyan's next yet-untitled Tamil project and she is quite excited about the opportunity.Read More
