An Analysis on the Impacts of Sivaji - It did tremble!

I am just wondering if it would be considered an obsession, craze, aesthetic expressionism or just pathetic stupidity.

The most awaited movie in the Indian film industry, mainly in the south, Sivaji has taken the minds of millions into a false realm causing them to do religious things for an irreligious matter, spending loads of sufficient time and money. I am not commenting on the movie but the impression the fans have created amongst themselves which actually although shows the superiority this movie carries but also the low intellectual capacity that it has brought out of its fans.

I was also keen on catching the show although not a Rajinikanth fan but a fan of the director Shankar. It is okay to actually line up early to get a good seat in the cinema and watch the show although it costs 15 dollars. But fans like from India who involve themselves in religious activities for and in the name of the actor was a big turn off for me and probably for the much more educated fans. To shave their heads, sacrifice goats and waste buckets of milk doing what they call, ‘ Abhishek ‘ – showering the gods with milk. When this world as a whole has a huge community suffering from hunger and which even a drop of milk would help, people waste so much.

Another major incident was the rioting in Malaysia because the movie was stopped at a certain point during a screen in some cinema. Sadly there isn't any limitation. Sometimes I feel that political superiority or aristocracy should never be holding a major position in a movie. India although has a grand cultural value and heritage it has political dispositions which create an awakening to the public when they watch a movie supporting their desires. It is sad that they do not realise that what they are watching is just behind some cameras.

The storyline in this movie was having a heavy plot showing great developments in rural India and support activities for the poor. An Indian graduate from a University in the United States comes down and builds hospitals and colleges to cater to the poor providing free education and medicines. Apart from that he develops rural areas making them into much advanced towns. These are desires of the poor in India. This has been their hope. When they tend to watch it they get so involved in the wide screen that they consider the actor to be such a great man without realising that he could only do such things within the screen but not in real life as that it is not his job. To me its considered cheating the minds of the poor by giving them temporary joy.

I conclude with a solution. I do respect Rajinikanth, Shankar and the team but when they see their fans engaging themselves in such activities they could do a voice out stating that its wrong. The fans would definitely listen as Rajini’s message do carry strength.
