Featured reviews
Baatsha is the greatest movie released in that decade.
People say it is a remake of Hum but Hum could be nowhere compared with this movie this is an awesome one .
Many people have tried to imitate Superstar's style but no one can be a match to that legend.
The movie has too many super scenes which could remain ever green in our memories
The latest trend in movie making is remake another old movie But this movie can never be remade by any body
the greatest movie of Super Star

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.

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.
This movie was one of the best movie of my life as I have seen it many times and I never got bored. The people who are expecting MASS and COMMERCIAL movies then please don't waste time reading these reviews just go and watch it. The people who are expecting a typical gangster movie like THALAPATHI and NAYAKAN, I would not recommend this film. But for sure you will not get bored watching this film. This film is a gem of TAMIL cinema and a proper COMMERCIAL entertainer.

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.

- TriviaIn addition to the new opening credits score, original composer Deva had rescored & inserted additional music for some scenes (namely scenes with Rajnikanth heading to the auto stand & Janakaraj's comedy scene where he failed to entice Nagma as a passenger.)
- GoofsOne of the promises that Manikam makes to his dying father is to get a Medical College seat for his younger sister without letting anyone know about Manikam's secret identity. However Manikkam does reveal his secret identity to the college principal to scare him so that he gives a seat to Manikkam's sister. Hence when Manikkam says "Dad, I have fulfilled your dying wishes", it is not true.
