If you still haven’t heard of the phenomenon that’s Rajinikanth, you’re likely an alien or a retard.

Here are a few pointers to Rajinikanth’s fame:

1. If Rajinikanth were to be shot today, tomorrow would be the bullet’s funeral

2. Rajinikanth killed a terrorist in Pakistan via Bluetooth.

3. When Rajinikanth was a student, teachers used to bunk classes.

4. Rajinikanth knows who let the dogs out.

5. Rajinikanth’s pulse is measured in Richter Scale.

6. The new rupee symbol is actually Rajinikanth’s signatures.

7. When God watched the movie Endhiran/Robot, he said, Oh my Rajinikanth!

8. Rajinikanth participated in a 100 meter dash, and Einstein died watching that ’cause light came in second.

9. Intel’s new commercial, Rajinikanth Inside.

10. Rajinikanth eats noodles with Lord Shiva’s Trishul.

11. Rajinikanth can make his wife admit her mistakes.
************

Enthiran Box Office – Unimpressive Average Gross


Enthiran Review – Orgy of Stupidity

For all the hype, there are no crowds at all for the premiere show of Enthiran at a theater on the U.S. East Coast.

There are just about 50 people in the queue. That is nothing considering the enormous publiShitty the movie has garnered.

Adhavan and Kanthaswamy had bigger crowds.

Maybe, it’s the rain. Or it’s the $30 tickets for the premiere show.

Whatever be the reason, the response to Enthiran is poor.

A few years back, one of our friends from Chennai got us a bunch of DVDs including one featuring three Rajinikanth films Thillu Mullu, Ranga and Moondru Mugam.

For some reason, the DVD wouldn’t play in our Panasonic home-theater.

So we kept it aside and completely forgot about it until we recently got an Acer Revo PC.

At a loose end this morning, we hooked up the Acer Revo PC to our Samsung HDTV via the HDMI port and then hooked up an external Asus DVD player to the Revo PC.

We then popped the Rajnikanth DVD into the Asus DVD player and, voila, it worked.

Alas, unfortunately it worked.

Total Nonsense
What a misfortune, what a horrid trial the sordid movie turned out to be.

* A film like Moondru Mugam can only be made in a land bereft of all aesthetic sense. A nation, where art and fart are synonyms.

* A film like Moondru Mugam can only be watched and reviewed after we’re fortified with a quadruple dose of gin in our system as we currently are. ;)

* A film like Moondru Mugam can only receive high accolades in a benighted country like India (Rajni got the Tamil Nadu government award for this garbage) where movie-goers are for the most part still two rungs below Homo Sapiens in the evolution ladder.

From the opening scene when Arun (Rajnikanth #1)  dressed in a saint’s saffron robe descends the steps of the aircraft to the final moments after the weird fights on the ship, Moondru Mugam is a movie that screams its amateur status to the world in one unendurable frame after another.

Oh, we forgot. Rajnikanth has a triple role in the movie. Each one vying to be more unimpressive, more irritating than the other.

Bizarrely Asinine Story
The story, if you schmucks insist on the summary, is of twins separated at birth, one Arun growing up in a rich family, recently returned from the U.S. after 10 years of studies there and the other an ex-jailbird Johnny (Rajnikanth #2) living with his poor aunt Mary and given to boozing and petty crimes.

Enthiran Box Office – Unimpressive Average Gross

Enthiran Review – Orgy of Stupidity

Emmathitanga
Ayyo, Emmathitanga

(they’ve cheated us,
God, they’ve cheated us).

A BIG disappointment. :(

A.R.Rahman and Shankar have taken Tamil music fans for a ride with the Endhiran album.

Endhiran’s music is nowhere in the class of Rahman’s Slumdog Millionaire or his earlier work in Roja, Bombay, Kadhalan, Dil Se et al.

Not even in the Sivaji class, we tell ya.

None of the songs linger in the mind.

If you’re looking for melody, you’ll have better luck with the echo of your singing under the shower.

Question for Y’all Schmucks
Since we listened to the Endhiran album, a doubt, a big doubt is nagging us, gnawing at our very soul.

Say, if music director A.R.Rahman farts, do folks in Tamil Nadu still consider it music?

Help us out with the above question, please. We beseech you. ;)

It boggles the mind that just a couple of years back this Rahman fella was the toast of the Oscar and Grammy crowd.

Oh, what a fall!

Endhiran on iTunes
The songs of the Rajinikanth-Aishwarya Rai starrer Endhiran have made it to iTunes this morning.

A short while ago, we purchased the Endhiran album for $2.99.

Instead of releasing it as a music album on iTunes, the Think Music folks have launched it as an application on Apple’s iTunes App Store.

Does this mean we can’t play the tracks on our PC?

The swines. :(

Seven Tracks
The Endhiran album on iTunes has seven tracks:

* Pudhiya Manidha (6.10 min) – A slow number, sounds as if the track is being sung by the robot. ;)

S.P.Balasubramaniam, A.R.Rahman and Khatija Rahman have sung this number, perhaps the best of the worst.

Given the Endhira Endhira refrain, is this track the title number?

Sample of the lyrics:

Pudhiya Manidha
Boomikku Vaa

Eggai vaarthu
Silicon serthu
Vayarutti uyirutti
Hard diskil ninaivutti
…..
Endhira
Endhira

* Kadhal Anukkal (5.44 min) -  A lifeless, boring track helmed by Vijay Prakash and Shreya Ghoshal.

No, the music didn’t strike a chord with us. Not one bit.

Just felt like hurling our new iPhone 4 at the wall in frustration.

Sample of the lyrics:

Kaadhal annukal
Udambil ethannai?
Neutron electron
un Neela kannil motham ethanai?
Unnai ninaithal
Thisukkal thorum aasai sinthanai
Haiyyo…

* Irumbile Oru Idhaiyam (5.14 m)  – Plain Rubbish.

Ayyo, ayyo, yet another sub-mediocre track courtesy of A.R.Rahman and Kash n Krissy.

Sample of the lyrics:

You want to seal my kiss
Boy you can’t touch this
Everybody..Hypnotic Hypnotic…
Super Sonic..
Super Star can’t can’t can’t get this

Irumbile oru irudhaiyam mulaikkudho
……
iRobo un Kadhil
I love you sollatta?

* Boom Boom Robot da (4.27 min) – Noise.

And more noise.

This Robot da number made us so angry we refer to it privately here as the Boom Boom Lava da Boom Boom Lava da song. ;)

Hey, when did yelling become synonymous with music. Will someone please enlighten us.

Yogi B, Kirthi Sagathia, Swetha are the singers.

Sample of the lyrics:

Boom Boom Robot da Robo da Roba da
Zoom Zoom Robot da Robo da Roba da

Isaac Asimovin
Velaiyo robo

Isaac Newtonin
Leelaiyo robo

Albert Einstein
Mulaiyo robo

He robo yo robo…..

* Arima Arima (5.18 min) Yet another forgettable track, begins with trumpets.

The singers are Hariharan and Sadhana Sargam.

And what’s with the howling of Endhira, Endhira toward the end. Awful

Sample of the lyrics:

Ivan perai sonnathan
Perumai sonnathum
Kadalum kadalum kai thattum
…..
Arima Arima – nano
Ayiram arima – unpol
…..
Endhira…! Endhira…!

* Kilimanjaro (5.30 min) Seriously, is this from an Oscar/Grammy award winner.

A most unimpressive track that has a tribal dance feel to it.

Javed Ali and Chinmayi are the singers.

Sample of the lyrics:

Kilimanjaro – malai
Kanimanjaro – kanna
Kuzhimanjaro
Yaro yaro
…..
Mohanjadaro – unnil Nozhanjadaro

* Chitti Dance Showcase (2.43 min)- Just cacophony with Pradeep Vijay, Pravin Mani, Yogi B. at the helm.

Disappointing Album
Is the Endhiran album the stuff of legend?

No, No, No

Folks, the Endhiran album is a ripoff.

Don’t waste your time or money on this noxious gas expulsion from A.R.Rahman.

Show the Endhiran album your middle finger but make sure you hold your nose for the stench is unbearable. :(

A short while ago, we got the following e-mail joke from our sick oops Sikh friend in the U.S.

Jeete raho puttar but if you value your life learn to spell Rajinikanth right. ;)

——————————–
You want to know who is Rajinikanth….here are the facts:

* Rajinikanth makes onions cry

* Rajinikanth can delete the Recycle Bin.

* Ghosts are actually caused by Rajinikanth killing people faster than Death can process them.

* Rajinikanth can build a snowman….. out of rain.

* Rajinikanth can strangle you with a cordless phone.

* Rajinikanth can drown a fish.

* When Rajinikanth enters a room, he doesn’t turn the lights on,……… …. he turns the dark off (SI favorite).

* When Rajinikanth looks in a mirror the mirror shatters, because not even glass is stupid enough to get in between Rajinikanth and Rajinikanth. Continue reading »

Surely, the Japs have taken leave of their senses or perhaps it’s the delayed effect of the nuclear bomb we dropped on their parents heads back in 1945.

We think the decline of Japan (the stagflation and all that) and their fascination for Muthu and its protagonist Rajnikanth is all of a piece. Decline of a once glorious nation.

Even by the bizarre standards of Rajni movies, Muthu is Kuppae (piece of trash).

Except for that opening song Oruvan Oruvan, the whole lengthy movie Muthu is a frigging nightmare.

A nightmare we revisited upon ourselves earlier today.

Muthu is the weird story of an eponymous servant in a Zamindar’s house, set in a village in Tamil Nadu.

Of course, in keeping with his carefully cultivated image, Rajnikanth plays the humble servant while that dummy variable Sarath Babu is cast in the role of the Zamindar.

Although a mere servant, Muthu is the terror of the large Zamindar household.

After all, his is the name that makes the cock crow, men work harder and women walk faster! No kidding. Continue reading »
