Releasing Worldwide #PettaFromToday /v2VEAZONL7īeautiful spirit. #Petta is a film that’s INSPIRED from, PERFORMED BY and DEDICATED to the ONE & ONLY SUPERSTAR - #Petta Day ? This is what the audience has to say about the film. Except for a few stretches where the director seems to lose grip(for instance the early scenes in the hostel are way too flighty ) this tale of a father-figure fighting to save a young boy (Sananth Sethi) from murderous enemies is just what the Rajinikanth image needed at this juncture. A genuine sense of fun runs through the taut plot. In Petta Rajini doesn't allow his swagger to be weighed down by responsibilities. Pehaps the Thalaiva, as he's called by his devotees, had begun to take himself too seriously in his recent films. When was the last time I had so much fun watching a Rajinikanth film? The last few years topped by the appalling 2:0 last month have been pretty abysmal. The confrontations between the two leading to a bloodied finale leaves no room for the audiences to exhale.

And yes, Nawazuddin Siddiqui makes a formidable adversary. It all adds up to a visually rich drama replete with twists and turns that are not only unforeseen but also deftly written to accentuate Rajinikanth's image. He performs the action sequences and the dances with a disarming relish and his character doesn't shy away from killing the enemies. He has never looked so young in the past decade. The clannish violence is cannily constructed to highlight Rajinikanth's stage-capturing image. In the second half the plot simply takes off, creating a badland of bloodshed and retribution where bullets and bombs pelt down in a devastating tale of caste and communal wars. While aiding the courtship Rajini falls in love with a spiritual hero(Simran, looking lovely).This part of the film is light to the touch, frothy and tantalizing in a cute kind of way. To begin with Rajini is a boisterous hostel warden who plays Uncle Cupid to a young couple. While it harks back to his most famous screen avatars it gives a fresh fecund flavourful twist to every manoeuvre that brings the plot closer to its nemesis. Petta is a film that satiates both the Rajini devotees and the non-devotees.
#Petta reviews how to#
He lets the 3-hour marathon masala fare roll on like a steamroller that knows exactly how to run its course without plundering any of the tropes in a Rajinikanth starrer. In fact the script turns his parentage into a bit of a savage joke.īut director Karthik Subbaraj knows when to pull back the punches. Seethupathi plays Jeetu, a sleazy hitman in Uttar Pradesh who ends up being horribly confused about his parentage. In fact it's the most powerfully written secondary part I've seen in any recent Rajinikanth starrer. Well, to be honest, Sethupathi does have quite a beefy role. In what seems like an unwanted political intrusion in an out-and-out formulistic entertainer, Vijay Sethupathi-who has a pivotal role to play in propelling the plot forward-is attacked in a cowshed by goons who accuse him of being a beef carrier.
