Kuselan

Of and for Superstar

Why Rajini has not entered politics?
Why the Superstar often goes to Himalayas?
Does Rajini impose his ego on others?

Kuselan has got the answers for all the above questions. Besides, it has also come out with a message- 'Matha Pitha Guru Nanban Deivam', which is soon going to be the slogan of millions of the top actor's fans.

At the very outset, Rajini needs to be lauded for trying his hands in a soft and emotional drama, at a time when the entire filmdom is celebrating him as the undisputed action hero.

And next in the line to bag kudos is director P Vasu, who has neither compromised with the story nor succumbed to the stardom of Rajini. He has presented an interesting film, which will suit the taste of both critics and die-hard fans of Rajini.

Talking about the story, it is a honest 'copy' of the Malayalam original Kathaparayumbol. It is about two childhood friends, with the one becoming the numero uno in film industry, while the other lands up as a barber in a hamlet.

When the two meet after a long gap, the emotional drama between the pals is the 20-minute climax, in which Rajini proves him as an actor after decades, leaving the audience spellbound with his stunning performance.

Kuselan has many things going for it and chief among them is ---Rajni's undoubted charisma and magical screen presence. He has an aura and attraction that is unmatched on Tamil screens. Even if his style and mannerisms have been seen before, they still strike a chord.

Pasupathy is top-notch; perhaps his best performance to date. Nayantra as Rajni's pair turns up for songs and acts with ease and charm. No surprises there. Vadivelu, as a barber evokes laughter while Meena scores well as Pasupathy's wife.

The songs are eminently hum-worthy and G V Prakash's music all through is fresh and fits the bill.

Kuselan, on the whole, will surely the join the long list of Rajni's super hits.

Kuselan- Kudos
