Rajinikanth To Top The Kollywood Box Office With Thalapathy Vijay’s Exit & Upcoming Big Films?(Photo Credit –IMDb)
After Jailer’s super success, it seems that Rajinikanth will be unstoppable at the box office. The reason behind it is the exciting lineup of upcoming films, which carry a huge potential of setting ticket windows on fire. Other than that, Thalapathy Vijay’s decision to step away from films is going to prove beneficial to Thalaiva. Keep reading to know more!
For those who don’t know, Thalapathy Vijay is arguably the biggest superstar in Kollywood at the present moment. Of course, Vijay’s position is highly debatable as many still believe that Rajinikanth is still ruling the roost. But considering the box office openings, worldwide performance of the films in the last few years, hold over the state of Tamil Nadu, and potential growth in the future, Vijay is said to be slightly ahead.

Tera Kya Hoga Lovely
In A. C. Tirulokchandar’s Main Bhi Ladki Hoon, which released 60 years ago, Meena Kumar (all smeared in dark colouring) played a dark-complexioned girl Rajni who finds herself being humiliated and ridiculed every step of her way.
At one point in the melodramatic rendition of colour prejudice, the Tragedy Queen stands before a statue of Lord Krishna and sings (in Lata Mangeshkar’s voice) Krishna oh kaley Krishna/tuney yeh kya kiya kaisa badla liya/Rang deke mujhe apna.
Ileana D’Cruz , no Meena Kumari, stands before a picture of Lord Krishna in director Balwinder Singh Janjua’s surprisingly sassy and funny romcom, wondering what the hell happened.
D’Cruz as the spirited dusky Lovely is miscast. It would have been better to cast an actual dark-complexioned actress in the role rather than smear the actress with a weird tan.
That apart, the rest of the cast...

Love Storiyaan
Except for one story in this six-tiered ache cake with no icing, there is nothing unusual about the love stories that are a part of this cuddlesome omnibus.
What makes Love Storiyaan so desirable is its unwavering mood of love conquers all. Aekta and Ullekh in the first story, An Unsuitable Girl, directed by Hardik Mehta are hardly your Romeo and Juliet. She is a 40-plus divorcee with two grownup daughters. He is a patient suitor. And the real story here is between Ullek and Aekta’s younger daughter whom he must win over before marriage happens.
It is this quality of deflected affinity that often takes the seemingly routine relationship to the level close to an epic love story.
In the second story, Love On Air, set in arresting Assam, directed by Vivek Soni (whose voice is the third protagonist from behind the camera) two disc jockeys Rajni and Nick,...

Rajni is a Tamil-Malayalam bilingual investigative thriller that is very similar to how a Tamil director would approach any story based on this genre. There are a few investigation films that were based in Kerala. The last one would be Thangam, directed by Saheed Arafath. Rajni is the story of a man who is on the hunt to find out who killed his brother-in-law. Set in Chennai, the article would take the readers through the lanes and streets that led Naveen and the local police to the killer.

Who Was Killed?
The movie begins with Abhijeet and his wife, Gouri, heading home after dinner at a friend’s place. They were stranded in the middle of the road, and Abhijeet stepped out to purchase some petrol for the car as Gouri dove off. She woke up to the noise of someone jumping on top of the vehicle and trying to beat someone up.

Chennai, Aug 6 (Ians) Superstar Rajnikanth is gearing up for his upcoming action-thriller ‘Jailer’, in which he plays a retired cop and jailer who is out to stop a big gang, keeping his family safe all the while.
In a new poster of the movie, Rajnikanth and Shiva Rajkumar look intense in a single black and white frame.
The movie’s poster came out on Sun Picture’s ‘X’ handle with the caption: “Superstar – Shivanna. Get ready to watch them together for the first time. 4 more days to go for #Jailer.”
Rajnikanth had gone on full ‘Kabaali’ mode in the trailer for ‘Jailer’ where he still plays an all out juggernaught who just cannot be underestimated, dishing out damage to criminals left and right while this massive criminal enterprise is left in shock, anger and hate.

Chennai, August 2 (Ians) Superstar Rajnikanth is back in a new avatar, bringing in massive swag while packing in a dangerous new vibe which one would surely not want to miss. If ‘Kabaali’ was where the Tamil superstar displayed his criminal killer side, in ‘Jailer’ he is the mighty policeman and killer in the trailer for his upcoming black comedy.
The ‘Showcase’ is vague on details, but it quickly establishes that Rajni who is playing the role of policeman ‘Tiger’ Muthuval Pandian is someone not to be messed around with. Now his son has gone missing, and the veteran officer who packs in lethal killer instincts will stop at nothing to find his son and kill anyone who dares harm his family.
Donning some of the most contrasting attire, at one point Rajni is wearing a very simple shirt and dhoti which makes him a very unassuming personality, hiding the man beneath and his true nature.

The recent trend in the Hindi film industry seems to be bringing out stories from gritty and arid Rajasthan. It looks like stories from Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai, and Bihar regions that focused on gangsters and the mafia are on their way out. We saw the colorful and vivacious Bandish Bandits from a few years ago. We had Thar last year; this year we already have Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo. Two out of the three films were based in the desert-covered state and were about the sort of nefarious activities that take place there, and with the state bordering the infamous neighboring country, there’s a wide selection to choose from that not many films have covered in the past. The dry aspect of the weather adds a layer to the stories, but overusing geography to talk about what exactly is happening in the state is what will lead to nothing narrative wise.

What the greatest playwright of English meant was that some people are born great and don’t have to work for it; others have to work hard and find greatness while the third group comprises those who are blessed by fate and are allowed to be great in a surprising manner.
But there is one more category that is born great but nurtures their prodigious talent and by the sheer dint of their hard work enhance their greatness and become the greatest of them all. And then they even surpass that stage and become demigods.
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar falls in this category — born with talent in abundance, he nurtured it through hard work and through the sheer application of his talent and sweat earned the sobriquet of ‘God of Cricket’.
