A Look at what a North Indian had to say about Rajnikanth !

A Must read for Rajnikanth’s Critiques ………….. A mail that I got from a North Indian this evening about MY RAJINI!!!!! I was forwarded this from a friend in this mail loop who received this incredible reply from a person working in Infy at Pune. He had received a stupid mail that made fun of Rajini at 5 20 IST today 27th October, 2010. He had replied in exactly 25 minutes this awesome reply! Now he is the MAN… Dear Colleagues, A lot of people are criticizing Rajnikanth or in fact making fun of him. Let me share with you few of my thoughts, First of all am not a TAMILIAN (This is to avoid the usual first impression “OH.. he might be from Tamil Nadu”). Once I was a critic of Rajnikanth and I use to make fun of him. But when I started watching Tamil movies, I came across lot of good movies, good approach and strong scripts in Tamil (Note: These films didn’t had larger than life hero’s). Even I saw Tamil movies acted by Vijay, Ajith,Vikram etc.(who are big stars in TN) getting crashed at box-office when they did larger than life roles, and people openly criticizing them for doing such roles. But when it comes to Rajni Tamilians accept everything he does. Even today s youth will die for Rajni. As it is evident from our BB. This made me THINK in a different angle. When I started thinking in that angle, what I found made me felt pity for teasing such a true human being. Yes, what I found in Rajni is a real human being, a down to earth person, a responsible citizen. A person who showcase his real life (Note: I said real life and not reel life) as a message to his people. As Gandhiji said “My life is my Message”. He sets good examples. He conveys good message, even in his latest movie Enthiran there are lot of good messages being conveyed for e.g.: boozing, spitting paan from train. If u wanna see the real actor in Rajni watch his old movies in 80‘s. Now because of his stardom his roles are limited. But he is a man of simplicity. He never puts make up unless he s acting in a movie. Even though he is the No.1 in TN. He openly praised his fellow actor Kamal Hasan (am not elaborating it). Just search YouTube u will get that video. Rajnikanth thanked Aiswarya Rai for acting opposite him. This was a very funny as well as a touching speech from a legend. Just refer YouTube and search for Rajnikanth s funny speech during Enthiran music release. In my opinion people love Rajni more as a person, than as an actor. Its true he can make everything possible. If he wishes he will be the next chief minister of TN and that too he don t want to join any political party. He can just form a new political party and contest in elections. Damn sure, he will win the majority. But still Rajnikanth haven’t entered politics. If Tamilians Respect him, adore him or even consider him as a god. Then, my dear critics of Rajnikanth. Rajnikanth deserves it. A few points which make him different from the so called stars of cinema: •Rajnikanth is not an actor who goes to late night parties, booz like a mad dog and takes out his SUV and run over poor migrant workers. •Rajnikanth is not an actor who openly supports Pakistanis when the whole India was crying after the Mumbai attack. •Rajnikanth is not an actor who changes his wife like dress nor he chose to marry a girl half his age, even though he s having kids. •Rajnikanth is not an actor who served jail term for anti national activities or share dais or parties with underworld dons. •Rajnikanth is the only actor who repays all the loss caused to the producer, distributors if his film doesn’t go well at the box office for e.g.: Baba, Kuselan. •Rajnikanth never acts in any advertisements nor become a brand ambassador of a product which gives false promises and have a bad impact in our economy. Just think a man who have crores of diehard fans never accept any advertisement offers. These are just a tip of a huge iceberg. Am just an average reader. Even though I don t know Tamil nor I have ever gone to Tamil Nadu, I could say these much. If people of Tamil Nadu starts speaking about his good character this post will never end. That much good quality this Man possesses. Am not asking anybody to respect him. Why making fun or teasing a Good Human being. It hurts the people of Tamil Nadu( our fellow citizens) or his Fans. Because for them, he is the most respected person. For one to become a hero or a star in the minds of crores of people, there s no need of muscle, color, cash or luxury. Just look at Rajnikanth. You can see how good a human being can be. And that’s the reason why Tamilians call him “THALAIVA” Meaning of thalaiva is oh ohh am not the correct person to explain it. It should come from the heart of a Tamilian. This is a very short description about Rajnikanth. And I am not posting this as an answer to someone. It’s just my personal opinion.

From a renowned critic, http://www.tehelka.com/what-bollywood-can-learn-from-rajini/

And there’s the not inconsiderable fact that his contemporaries in Bollywood, like Amitabh Bachchan, have graduated to playing character roles and being Aishwarya Rai’s father-in-law, while Rajini still gets to be her stylish leading man in the upcoming Robot, in a double role, no less. ..... But, here’s another theory. Couldn’t it just be that the average audience member is intelligent enough to separate the public persona from the private? And perhaps we like Rajinikanth more because he’s one of us — richer and more known, yes, and yet like us in the ways that matter. We all agonise with ourselves in our daily lives, and maybe it is a matter of reassurance that even without a six-pack, even without a head full of hair, even with the slightest of sagging jowls, someone somewhere can slay the beast and bring home the beauty. Forget the fantasies on screen, this is a far more fantastic narrative occurring off-screen. Perhaps Bollywood stars — especially the ones in their forties and upwards, some of whom apparently are staving off signs of ageing with nips and tucks and hair weaves — can learn this lesson from Rajinikanth, that you can be yourself and your fans won’t stop loving you. On the contrary, they just may come to love you a little more. .
