*Sivaji* Vaaaram

This has been a week full of Sivaji-ness for me...knowing fully well the me....you would understand why I am so pepped up on Sivaji....why not u would ask..???? "The world of tamils is anyways pepped up...whats the big deal in U" .....Yes...The tamil-speaking lore is pepped up I know...but I have a couple of personal reasons...


a) Shankar - the eternal perfectionist...is the director...backed by his Anniyan Success...( u know what... Shankar steels thoughts from minds of people like me...who are hardcore cinema fans...(not the entertainment ilk...who goto movies for their entertainment quota)...people like me go with the same vigour what people like shankar share on cinema...!!!!) )....

b) Haaa...the Thalaivar effect...definitely...this one is enough reason for the whole of Tamil Nadu to be ebullient...yep...thats reason two...and the DON-Down South is ravishing in all visuals one can see...and me being as hardcore a Reality Cinema fan....am a fan of fantasy...and ready to handover my logicspace for rent to the movie maker....if and only if he can draw confidence on me in the dark-room called *theatre*....and I would love to delve in such fantasy...truly and fully.....and Rajinikanth is fantasy fantastic...again courtesy the master called Shankar....so....u see reason two is also different from the Rest of the World XI....;-).....


so....why is it Sivaji Vaaram for me...???? Yep...it started off with the rumour of Sivaji songs released on the Internet....which I was frantically searching for the songs on the internet
...(now...now....dont catch me on the wrong foot....I am not the guy who sits up late night and scouts for downloads from P2P sites ....and relishes in illegal music....I always believe in original CDs for songs and movies....)......my gumption not withstanding, I downloaded the songs, three in number....(U C... temptation to have a first cut before the D-Day took the better decision..!!!)...and as usual fell for the music...though I was skeptical of the life of these songs in the original CD and the film eventually.....Cut the Songs for RingTones...had them on my mobile as well....saw a few faces go askance in the office lift when my mobile went out free of inhibitions...singing *Vaaa Jee Vaa Jee Vaa Jee...En Jeevan Nee Sivaji...* in the voice of MadhuShree....hahaha...*thats the effect I have on the peoples...*.. :-)...

This illegal copy of the songs did the round and filled my personality for three days.....and when this excitement was up in the Air.....I saw *Kumkumam* ( the best kanna best... book....)...flashing a front pages story of a Rajini Interview....and before I could realize...I had bought the book.....and when I opened...the first facing page of the book rightly had the rajini cover story...and i was surprised...and by the time I finished reading the page....was pleasantly angry at the Kumkumam team...for they have made the whole of TamilNadu APRIL FOOL...by running this thing...when they didn't have a story to go with it....now...with a pleasing and reasonable explanation....was amused and laughed at myself...and was pleased...instead of being pissed offf at spending 10 bucks for being an April Fool....SO One more day of Sivaji for me in this weeek....:)

This Sivaji craze failed to die down on me....and I was waiting for the audio CD release of April 4....and to make matters easy on me....the AVM Management and Shankar seem to have decided on an earlier date...as Apr 2...and I was restless @ office...the whole day....and was desperate to get into the first bus back home in the evening....and was longingly looking at the posters of the Audio Release....and when I reached city limits...started looking for shops selling the CDs... from the bus....and people around me in the bus..unaware ( or maybe restrained emotions, basically)...of the turmoil within...were thinking that I am acting sheepishly...and to the extent of looking childish...but I didnt mind....I was high on octane....to the state of being inebriated..when u don't know what happens around you....(Shankar has that effect on me...unfailingly though with his last three releases...huh....)


so the next two days went with the songs and me....and innumerable thoughts about how each song will be a visual candy....so....a well rounded week of Sivaji Dose...( an audio review of Sivaji is impending here though!!!)

*I wonder what I see* when I get to the movie hall in a couple of weeks time....somebody please take care!!!!

Cheers,
Rajesh
