It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Petta is Rajinikanth's best film since Enthiran, and it marks his return to form with trademark style and he does so by gracefully playing his age. In what could be best described as a major throwback to the 1990s, Petta is Karthik Subbaraj's love letter to Rajinikanth and he portrays him in the most crowd-pleasing fashion in a really long time. Malavika Mohanan has a far decent screen presence compared to the roles of the other actresses. Simran and Trisha are wasted in roles that merely fit the bill as heroines and have nothing much to do. Unfortunately, Petta ends up as a film with its women in roles that have no importance. Everything that follows in the first half is a show-reel for Rajinikanth to showcase his machismo, and as the story gets into the second half the film gets into the Subbaraj zone.įrom the Magazine Shaheen Bagh, CAA, Farmers’ Protest: Hip-Hop Is The Voice Of Dissent In India Why I Rap: A Hip-Hop Artiste’s Journey From Bihar To Stardom Death Of Three Dalit Girls And A Story Of Pain And Humiliation Church In India Cosying Up To BJP To Protect Its Interests Diary | I Want To Fly: The Unrealised Dreams Of An Ex-Banker And Mother If you're not a Rajinikanth fanboy, you can't write a better introduction scene and Subbaraj makes a solid impression right at the beginning. As we hear some men talking about how one guy has thrashed most of them, we see Rajinikanth in the dark, we see his shadow, we see him from the back and even before we see his face, we see half of it while he's standing right behind the guy who has just knocked him down. The prelude to the introduction shot is just what every Rajinikanth fan wants to see. After being introduced without much hullabaloo in his last three films, Subbaraj gives us a bang for a buck Rajinikanth introduction scene. The story revolves around a hostel warden named Kaali (Rajinikanth) who comes to set things right. There's even the famous Rajinikanth cigarette flip but it comes with a surprise and it is best enjoyed when watched on the big screen. From a happy hop to an impromptu dance step and slow-motion walk to the flip of his hair with his own hands with panache we see Rajinikanth in his element after a long time and boy, it's a joy to watch him do what he is best at. ⁱ Eligible applicants will be presented with an opportunity to link their bank account in order to be evaluated for an extension of credit assessing their cashflow.If there's one thing Karthik Subbaraj's Petta really succeeds in achieving, it is that it lets superstar Rajinikanth be himself and have fun on-screen.
