Rajani- The "R" Factor

I would be going to watch Rajnikant's comeback vehicle, as it is touted to be, in North Bergen, NJ. There would be 33 of us whistiling('course suresh has the honour of doing this) for the Super *. Now I want to know what is so super *ry about him that even our educated professionals(some of them handling projects of million $ in question) go to the theater and watch is movies.

I accept he provides the masses a "mass" (pun intended) entertainment but is it what we look for? I know I am going because I am married and this is one disadvantage of getting married.
Why is he called a leader when he refuses to lead? Why does Tamilnadu get cold when he sneezes and why do people go to his movies again and again? Remember last time his movie "Baba" bombed terribly. Now isn't it surprising that even that movie was called his comeback vehicle.

I guess one of the main reason( I dont have to be a Harvard's Professor to profess this) that his movies are/were such big hits is people tend to blend the onscreen image with the offscreen image. This is where the personal and professional lines are blurred. I remember a case where Manoj K. Jain ( I dont know who this guy is.. Harita told me about him) was not allowed to get out of the Airport as he attacked the Super star in the movie "Dalapati" as the villian. Only after Rajni Kant interfered, he was allowed to come out of the airport.

Now why do not we understand that an onscreen image is the professional image not the personal life. Yeah! I know this is not always true. One S.K. is an exception to this rule.... But People do not believe it, we do not believe it. It is because of this reason that JL is ruling one state and AB has a temple in his name.

If we are so educated and professional, why do we fail to educate ourselves. I knew a collegemate who use to pray and touch "THAILAIVAR"'s feet before going for his exams. I do not know where he is.
Just think how carefully these actors cultivated their image. They have only moms in the movies. They always bash up villians and they always are sweet to their gals.. Look at Vijay. Do you see the pattern? You would see the same pattern in South Indian(Tamil and Telugu) movies. What about the Hindi movies? well thats one another story ,another blog.

Ahem, as I was blogging,look at their images. I guess Rajni is not the only one who cultivated it. It started with people like MGR,NTR and some many other "R"s. Now there are these guys.. Sharat Kumar,Vijay,Ajit who are trying to do the same. Who will win? who will lose? I do not know. The only thing I learn is .. we lose.. an amount equivalent to $25. Lets see

I will post my review after I come back!!!

Watch this space.. I am tired!!! whooooooooooooooooo!
