But he prefers to get back to civilian life as Colonel (Mukhesh Rushi) transfers him to administrative division from the battlefield in the name of disciplinary action. Stalin (Chiranjeevi) is a Major in the Indian Army. Murugadoss has also prepared an elaborate smorgasbord, sprinkling the spread with liberal doses of dance and intrigue. In fact, it is a smart-idea to take this theme of helping others as something akin to a multi-level marketing (MLM). So Murugadoss gets across the idea of helping others being a chain reaction, and he does so without being didactic but only delightfully dramatic. Chiranjeevi, it seems, has been particular about the `message' aspect - at his stature and seniority, he had every reason to be. In Chiranjeevi, he has somebody who can bring to life any kind of idea he (Murugadoss) has. This weighty and vital social message coupled with typical Chiranjeevi brand of entertainment - energy-dripping dances, endearing comedy and emotional punches - all find true representation in Stalin.ĭirector Murugadoss, who made us all sit up and take notice through Tagore (story) and Ghajini, once again underlines his talent for making a wholesome and powerful mass masala movie. Help goes around and comes back in a huge circle - and that is its true validation. Like faith, help too, is its own vindication. But this movie deserves to be experienced and taken in by the masses.Help ever, hurt never is an old adage.
We know that Scorsese's crowning achievement "The Departed" is going to take the cake at the Oscars, and I won't be complaining. To say "I laughed, I cried" would be really lame. Let's just say that's it not Oliver Stone dramatic. In no ways is it cliché or contrived or boring. It's very funny at parts, but be prepared for some serious drama. It was also refreshing that Smith's character never blamed anybody for his troubles.
I will say that Will Smith was shockingly good now that he's paid his dues with "Men in Black" and "Bad Boys." I was very happy that this film never got political and blamed Reagan for the number of "down on their luck" people that were shown, nor was the race card ever pulled out. Here's the deal: It's real, it's heavy, and it's inspirational, but NOT AT ALL cheesy.
