Rajini the clever , People the fools

Kudos to Rajinikanth for Kuselan...He has to be appreciated for willing to come out of the so called "Style" image... His best films have been then one in which he has not relied on his style tag.. Infact , Not many people know that he is a very good actor..

Being an ardent kamal fan , I still say that with a little more effort from Rajini, he could have been on par with Kamal if not better .. But he refused to be.. A kamal Haasan could have not performed "Johnny"(My fav Rajini movie), "Kai Kodukum kai" , " aaril irundu arupathuvarai" , "thillu mullu" or " mullum malaraum"..

However he chose movies like "Baasha", "muthu" , "padayappa" ,"arunachalam" which offers little scope for acting. Moreover , he had political punchlines , hints etc. in these movies so that they are talked about and make the movie a hit.

I feel that Rajini never wanted to enter politics.. but used politics as a tool to make his movie a success. He was termed as a person with a lot of confusion but contrary to that opinion he was very clear about what he wanted to achieve.

Adding to all this is his apology to kannadigas on hoggenakkal issue and his subsequent blabberings to pacify the tamilians.

All this brings to a conclusion that Rajini for most part of his life has been an Opportunist . We people have been fooled.. Rajini has moved his coins well. All he cares his about his movies..

He is very clever ..
