Style style thaan...

Saw "Baasha" on K TV today. Have lost count how many times ...

TN 02 Z 4995. The registration number of autodriver Manickam.
4 Maruti vans and a big Metador van. The fleet of Baasha, Manick Baasha.

If ever there was a story made for Rajni, it was 'Baasha'. How a Mumbai underworld don became a simple autodriver in Chennai told in a brilliant way, packed with isthyle dialogues is what "Baasha" is all about.

I've always felt that Rajni's best "style" movie is Baasha. One thing that I rue today is that I never watched a Rajni movie first day till "Baba" in Tyagaraja theatre, which was THE best atmosphere I've ever been in. And if the atmosphere was "super" for Baba, it would have been nothing short of "electrifying" for a movie like Baasha.

Kudos to director Suresh Krissna for screenplay and direction, made perfectly to suit Superstar. Suresh doesn't make these kinds of movies these days.

And, full marks to Superstar Rajnikanth. No one in the world can ever say "Naan oru tharava sona nooru tharava sonnamari" like him.
