Supposed to be a mass introduction for Rajinikanth was let down by a weak/poor dialogue ("Makkaluku Nalladhu Senjen") would have been appreciated in silence. The next scene moving on to Chennai Airport where Rajini come down from US (completing his software professional life with plans for uplifting peoples life in Tamil Nadu) as a stylish youngster. Vadivukarasi, Manivanan and Vivek are introduced with their respective relations with Rajini. Struggling to get the approval for his "Sivaji Foundation" plan, Rajini is forced to use the underground tricks to get approved. At the stage of completion, Suman afraid of his business getting disturbed by Sivaji Foundation pressurises the minister and cancel the approval for his foundation works. The court also summons to destruct his half-way led building because of government violations.

Mean while superstar tries to impress Shreya, whom he finds in the temple ( Soora Mokka). Wrong inception of the term "Pazhakam illama eppadi pudichirukkunu solla muditum?", Rajni & his family tries out to play a comedy track that has stretched the first half further by 20 mins. After a series of episode, Shreya ( also her family :D) accepts Rajinis proposal. Astrology jumps into one more tamil film!!! ( same old aracha maavu)

The first half comes to an end after Suman meets Rajini outside the court (where he stands bankrupt), offers him a ONE rupee coin and advices Rajini to go for begging. Rajini decided to fight back with the ONE rupee.

--------- INTERVAL BREAK ----------

Descent screenplay in the later part of the movie enlightened the viewers opinion. It might be a slow start to the actual theme, yet its a powerful re-entry by the Superstar in the second half with an underground raid for the black-money hidden by the politicians and businessman. Ofcourse the first person in the target list is Suman ( Tamil Cinemappa ). Sivaji Foundation will be completed and starts his Bachelor of Social Service. "Office Room" being one of the highlights in the screenplay. Shreya traps Rajini to CBI officer by handing his laptop to them. ( Purushan uyir mela aasa pattu appadi senjiduvangalam pa)

The Climax was pretty long but worth a watch. Shankar's majic could be seen only during the climax. Awesome introduction for Motta Boss and his mannerism is a real superstar.
