Arunachalam

Rajni comes from a village to chennai only to realize he is a son of multi millionaire. His dad's will states that "If Rajni does not turn up for a long time, the wealth should be donated to a charity. If Rajni turns up he should spend a huge amount (30 crores INR) in 30 days. The money should not be gifted or converted into any other form of property". The charity is in the hands of wrong people. So though Rajni is not greedy for money he accepts the challenge of spending 30 crore INR in 30 days. The rest of the story is about how Rajni manages to succeed in thwarting the attempts of villains (charity owners) and accomplishes the task.

ARUNACHALAM is the movie with the hide and seek which the couples are doing but the hero is constantly following the trail set by others for the deceivers who are being deceived at the same time by the rest. We have learned that ARUNACHALAM is well received for those park sequences that are a turning point to narrating a story or ritual about the "I" without the help of psychoanalysis and a third sense of the 'death of the author.'

This is one of my most favourite movies of all time...being a serious movie lover and not a fan of commercial films, Rajanikanth is always an exception...n this is one of those films that entertains you and pulls u to the Rajini magic...from the engaging scenes to really good background music by Deva, this film is a total stress buster. I really like this film on par with Baasha, Annamalai and Sivaji. It's Rajini magic all the way !!

Darn, anybody would never even bother to regard this movie as a marvellous one from the one-and-only idol, Rajini. Think about it, where can one could get dangerous creatures from his back? And how one explain destiny was arranged simply when a sexy lady walked passed by the desk(i.e. the rolling talisman bead scene)? I'm a non-Indian and I regard Rajini along with the likes of the legend MGR,Kamal Hassan n somehow Sathiyaraj as my fave quartet of Tamil hero icons. Arunachalam is parallel to any cartoon or cheesiest to the core. But,if you have nothing to do for over 3 hours, kill your time with this movie. The thing about Rajini is that he would always start from the scratch i.e. he would be doing the-odd job, a poor fella, etc. This is what captivated a fan with his character. All day normal guy. And Rajini did the action, jokes n of course the trademark 'swoosh-swish' thingy in an ultra-cool way.So much for hype, but then again, picture this. His current movie Chandramughi is the longest staying movie yet in one of the cinema in my resident town. Still holding queue since 14 April. And still there are people wondering why he's a superstar. Enough said.

Although it's a remake of an English movie, it has all the elements that make it a thoroughly enjoyable movie! However, the most magical element is (as always) Rajinikanth! Go ahead and watch it. It will certainly not disappoint you. You'll feel super entertained and bucked up after you finish watching the movie. Watch it when you feel low n you'll feel spirited! The magical formula that makes it possible is Rajinikanth+Commercial elements+interesting plot! For those critical people who always look for logic, message n something unusual in an entertainment medium, please stay away from the movie!
