Baasha

Baasha - A movie that still brings a feeling of mass and pride to every other superstar fan and auto driver. The movie has a certain style (obviously) and the we see the superstar in a role that we like seeing him play. But, the movie sadly didn't work for me as much as I would have liked it to because of the fact that has this template has been used in movies for a long time after Baasha in everything from Maari to Kochi Rajavu to Vedalam.

The supporting cast is secondary, although I did like his gang of goons. Raghuvaran as the villain Mark Anthony does a somewhat good job.

Said to be the movie of the millennium, as the friend above said it , it is so so great, Rajini Baba Ke Jai.

Only Rajini can do movie like this, & I wonder whether he himself can make a movie similar like this.

Super star ka style to ek dum perfect hey, in this movie it touched the peak, some scenes are breath taking like the first fight in the movie, scene in the medical admission, talk with the IG, Nagma's marriage day, the climax, gundas tearing Rajini's Auto.

Apart from scenes the background score is too great, however the music wasn't so great but still in Super star's movie the music always become magical.

At the end of the Day Rajini is Rajini, millennium ka eki superstar hey, & he is the god for tamil movie fans.

The movie was excellent with many mass scenes and punch dialogues. The movie was interesting. But some scenes were not logic in the movie. Rajinikanth acted good in the movie and also Raghuvaran is the main highlight in the movie.

One of the best gangster movies i have ever seen! Didn't think an Indian regional tamil movie would be so good...rate the movie UP THERE! Rajni's style and acting in this movie is one of the reason why this was a success! The acting of the villain Raghuvaran was fantastic! Directed very well...music is also superb...even though the background music sometimes is a rip off from "The Terminator" its done very well by the music director Deva. The whole Autorickshaw driver who was a big Don in Bombay is a fantastic story so the heart of the movie is the story.The slick way this movie has been taken is excellent.Rajni always does something special for each movie he does like say something or a movement like a sign or symbol and in this one he does one of his most famous styles..

Watch it for Rajni's greatest movie!

Rajini might have done over 100 films prior to this one,but if there's one film which catapulted him to demi god status,it has to be this one.His characterisation as the calm and docile Manickam coupled with the stylish and ruthless don Baasha makes this movie a treat to watch.

The story might not be great,the BG is a rip off from Terminator,the music and songs are cheesy,Nagma is useless,the production value is tacky(OK,granted this was 1995).

But,if there's one person who makes this movie unbelievably watchable it has to be Rajinikanth.This might sound insane,but I have seen this movie more than 30 times(I stopped counting after 30)and each viewing is still enjoyable.I can't say the same for most movies,Rajini's other movies included.There is something special in this film which is hard to explain.

Time for another Baasha session.
