🎬MOVIE🎥REVIEW ️ ✒️PETTA Ever since the first look teaser have been released, all the diehard fans of Rajinikanth were craving to see their favourite Superstar in the good old 90's look in Petta. Infact, after Kabali and Kaala the Rajinism factors were steaply dropped in his movies due to his age and the fans were really missing those mass elements, trademark counters and punch dialogues. Petta will definately satisfy the needs of such fans who wish to see Rajini in 'Larger than Life' Mass role with same charisma, energy and stylish performance. Petta movie will bring back those evergreen memories of Baasha times and it is a visual treat for the 'Thalivar Fans' who are dying to see him with mass presence on screen. Sun Pictures roped in huge star casts for Petta including Trisha, Simran, Vijay Sethupathi, Bobby Simha, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Sasi Kumar, Mahindran, Megha Akash for the prominent roles. All the supporting casts did their part well for this out and out Rajini flick. Trisha and Simran have bare minimum screen space with Rajini but they performed well to keep up their names. Rajinikanth as an actor will surprise you with his energy level and once again he proved age is just a number for the blockbuster hero. Karthik Subburaj the new age ace director written the perfect script for SuperStar Rajinikanth and he did his homework well to customise the screenplay which brings the mass elements in each frame to experience the 'Rajinism moments'. After a decade we are witnessing vintage Rajini in the role which we love to see him the most on the big silver screen.No one could glorify Rajini better than Karthik Subburaj in the recent times.Being Rajini fan himself he gave his best craftsmanship to satisfy the huge fan base by adopting the top notch scenes and dialogues from the 90s blockbusters such as Baasha, Billa, Thalapathy and Annamalai. It is not just a film for the fan base but it is a genuine attempt for a action thriller for which Karthik Subburaj gave his full potential with his hallmark directorial touch. Unpredictable plot with twist and turns is quite common in all Karthik Subburaj flicks and Petta have that surprise element in the climax portion. Avoid the spoilers to experience the wow factor in the end. Thiru's Cinemography is impeccable for this commercial flick. Most of the scenes in the first half were shot inside the sets and warm tone blends well with the visuals. Also, Thiru helped Rajinikanth to look much younger and admirable with his special angles. All the stunt scenes are top class with Peter Hein's special treatment. Anirudh had the right mix of music composition to suit the action and mass sequences. Background score with solid rock genre gives the 'goosebumps moment' for the action blocks. All the songs were perfectly placed in the right spot with right timing. Petta Parak, Marna Mass and Ullalla is the perfect song for all the Rajnikanth devotees. Editing by Vivek Harshan is crisp and engaging in the first half. Intro scene, interval block and the climax scenes are perfectly placed with the help of sneak cut from Vivek. Make up and costume artists who worked for Rajinikanth need a special mention. It is so good to see Rajini in winter clothing in first half and it is again treat to watch him with ethnic costume in the second half. The Handlebar moustache suits him perfectly for the Petta Velu role in the second half. On the downside, one could complain the screen space for Vijay Sethupathi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui but it is out and out film to celebrate Rajinism. Hence, the director could have compromised their screen space to keep it intact but with the little screen space Vijay Sethupathi shown his presence on screen with his top notch performance .Also, the 3hrs runtime may look little stretchy and slow paced in the second half but the surprise element in the climax will ease out the pressure. Overall, Petta is a pure bliss to experience the Rajinism on screen. Celebrate this Pongal with this Mass Entertainer and 'Get Rajinified'
