Petta Revisited with my friend Murthi VK

Murthi had been following up with me for nearly a week to catch up with Petta. I was quite disinterested in watching Petta again. After about half hour I decided to disengage myself and indulge in a quiet nap. 

But then slowly and steadily the Rajini phenomena started to take control of me and I was left completely astonished at how much of happiness that Rajini could infuse into you.

Petta, to me will always be a Masterclass in Body Language. Some of those ramrod erect postures of Rajini, accentuated by the angles, are truly mind boggling. 

IN terms of sheer style, I would probably rate Uttam Kumar as the most stylish actor that India has produced. While Rajini is a close second in terms of style, Rajini's mixes up style with swagger lnto a heady mix, sending you into a tizzy and helps you experience the goosebumps, as always. You could be in awe of Daniel Day Lewis's acting, but it is only Rajini that can deliver the goosebumps.

Petta Velan's signals the entry of an unusually 'grey' Rajini, makes you think how sub-optimally the Indian Industry has used such a great star/actor.

Here is hoping that Rajini treats us to 'Petta' class performances. I hope he chooses his scripts carefully and enthrall us in times to come.
