Featured reviews
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.
A movie that gave a new definition for Character Underplay and subsequent Stylish (violent) transformation for the tamil movie goers. Tops the must watch list of all thalaivar fans and more than a decent entertainer for anyone who prefer an intense story said with a commercial sugar coating. This is the movie that exploited the brand RAJINI to the maximum and expanded his reach among maases to unimaginable proportions thus making RAJINI the undisputed MASS HERO! The movie is not only stylish but has substance too and a trend-setter for future gangster flicks! But unfortunately none could match the magic of the one and only BASHA, nehi nehi maanik BASHA!!!! A complete RAJINI entertainer all the way!

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.

First of all i would like to say this is the best film of Rajinikanth as it turns out to be the perfect plot,stylish acting etc. The film gives you glimpses how stylish was rajini back then. The film is still regarded as one of the best films ever made in tamil cinema. you should have been there in the theaters in jan 1995 then you would have known the response of the film. The style icon rajini followed up with serious block busters which made him an iconic person as he is now.The film had everything love,action,comedy and above all true friendship. The films best part is those conversations between the protagonist and the antagonist played by raguvaran who has done exceptionally well. You wouldn't want to miss this classic do watch this to know about it.This is one of the best made don films in the history.
My childhood favorite film of Rajini sir. Excellent acting, action, drama, suspense and romance. Most notably the punch line "oru daravay sonna nooru darava sonna madri". Nothing more can be said other than give it a ten out of ten.
Did you know
- 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.
