Rajnikant in Shivaji, brings out the Boss attitude, which is comparatively convincing than other of its contemporaries or its predecessors. A man in his 55s wages a war against corruption with all his accumulated wealth and knowledge. It is amusing to watch, relates to social corruption and national sentiments, infuses the whole plot through much needed Bollywood flavour of spiciness. Yes, the family warmth, the romantic touch, the ever famous friendly relation of Uncle niece in Indian context. The film also showcast the action thrilling sequences which satisfies the specific fanbases and fulfills the entertaining angles completely.
The film is about an NRI (Shivaji) played by Rajni Sir, who dreams of establishing an university in India, which provides free education to all, in all streams. It's a type of strong urge for every true nation lover who dream to make India a positive oriented and prosperous country, a kinda utopian setting in India but as you could guess it's not so easy in practical ground. With greedy entrepreneurs on one side and corrupt politicians on the other side, Shivaji's dream gets shattered and he is made broke. He is supported by none other than his uncle, who stands with him until the end. This is so nice to watch. The scene where Shivaji tosses his coin to choose either the tiger's way or the straight way justifies the succeeding conflicts, feels relevant in the material world. And hence the film progresses likewise. Shivaji chooses the tiger's way and takes unwavering attempts to defeat his foe, Adi. The fight continues with interesting ups and downs with finally Shivaji emerging victorious. The journey is depicted not so raw but with entertaining flavors, catches the attention every time it tries to fade. The director brilliantly chose not to add song items outweighing the film's plot, rather added appropriate BGM to reflect situational emotions.
The presentation is good, fast paced but clear cut, with no left out flaws. The actress is not strong rather of very weak character, still correctly shown. The action sequences are unreal though but exists only to add some comic and entertaining taste. The journey of war between good and bad is strongly shown with many sub plots from both sides exposing the different characters in different contexts. Lastly, Rajnikant's performance is bright which upholds the entire weight of the film. Summing, all these aspects makes Shivaji the Boss a rewatchable entertaining film. See it for that. The rating for this will be a 77 on a scale of 100.
