Kuselan Movie Review Kuselan Movie Pictures , Gallery , Wallpapers , Nayanthara Pictures , Box office Analysis , Collection Report

Starring: Rajini, Pasupathy, Nayanthara, Meena, Sona, Vadivelu, Vijayakumar

Direction: P Vasu

Music: G V Prakash

Production: K Balachander
Kuselan is 2 hours, 30 minutes long.

Rajinikanth appears twenty minutes after the movie begins.

And remains through the length of the film, though not in every single frame.

In all he appears for a total of 60 minutes.

And in 3 rocking songs.

Kuselan is a fun filled 2 hours, 10 minutes with about 20 minutes given over to emotional drama.
There are no real fight sequences, only the ones staged for this movie within a movie.

It has two parallel stories about two friends - one rich, one poor.

The highlight of Kuselan: 6 punch dialogue sequence filled with comedy that will delight not just fans of Thalaivar but everyone in the audience.

Rajini usually has one stand-out line in every movie -here he takes that old saying, “Matha Pitha Guru Dheivam” and turns it into a new saying about the importance of freindship: “Matha Pitha Guru Nanban Dheivam”. We can bet that this is going to be a catchy line that all of us will be repeating soon.

For many of us who have been wondering a lot about Rajini’s political ambitions and his sojourns into the Himalayas, he answers us all in Kuselan with such wit and tact that it will silence us from speculating anymore!

As in Chandramuki, where the Superstar gave equal screen presence to Prabhu, Vadivelu and Joythika, here, in Kuselan, he has given importance to other actors sharing the screen with him.
Kuselan

The climax, with Pasupathy and Rajini, is sure to melt hearts!

Pasupathy is marvelous; perhaps his best performance to date.

Comedy by Vadivelu is top-notch, rivaling his performance in Chandramukhi.

Nayantara simply sizzles effortlessly, proving why she is the numero uno.

Arivind Krishna’s camera work is prefect, matching the mood of the movie .

This is a Thalaivar movie, and yet it is also something completely different!
Thalaivar’s style here as he plays himself reaches a new high.

You are in for a sumptuous Rajini treat.

Rajni starrer 'Kuselan' goes to Tokyo film festival

Chennai, July 25 (IANS) Tamil superstar Rajnikant starrer 'Kuselan' will be shown at the Tokyo International Film Festival, starting in October.


The film is scheduled to be released here July 31.


'After the superstar's huge popularity following the success of 'Muthu' in Japan, interest in his films is huge. Since Rajnikant is playing himself, the pre-release response is fantastic,' R. Venkatakrishnan, Chief Operating Officer Pyramid Saimira, told IANS.


Rajnikant's 1995 film 'Muthu' was dubbed in Japanese and released in Japan in 1998. It ran for 288 days in multiple screens.


It is not clear right now whether the actor will attend the festival, said sources close to the actor.


So far Japanese media companies and television stations have produced over 30 documentaries on Rajnikant.


'Kuselan' technicians get Rs.4.5 mn windfall, thanks to Rajnikanth


Chennai, July 1 (IANS) The 100-odd technicians of forthcoming Rajnikanth-starrer Tamil film 'Kuselan' got a windfall of Rs.4.5 million as its hero, producer and director pooled part of their fees and donated the amount to them during the movie's audio release here.


'In my endeavour to help the unsung heroes of the film industry -- the technicians, I have networked with producer Vijay Kumar and director P. Vasu to donate Rs.1.5 million from their overflow and fees, respectively, and added a similar amount from my emoluments,' superstar Rajnikanth announced Monday night.


His announcement was received with thunderous applause from the audience of technicians who were being recognised in such a fashion for the first time in the south Indian film industry.


According to the movie's publicists, 'Kuselan' is an effort on Rajnikanth's part to help his mentor and director K. Balachander.


'When producers said I had to do it sans a big advance on a shoestring budget, I agreed because I liked its story,' Rajnikanth said.


Balachander, who partly owns the film's rights, was overwhelmed by Rajnikant's efforts and said: 'Though I cannot claim to be as great as Swami Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, I can say with pride that Rajni is my Vivekananda.'


Remake of Malayalam hit 'Katha Parayumbol' starring Mammooty, 'Kuselan' is said to have been made at a cost of Rs.600 million, according to industry sources. The storyline is about a film star helping an old acquaintance. It also stars actresses Nayanthara and Meena.


Director Vasu told reporters that though the movie depicts Rajnikanth in 20 different get-ups, including as an Egyptian Pharaoh, it is not an effort to belittle Kamal Haasan whose 'Dasavatharam' featured him in 10 roles.


'The two films are totally different in nature,' Vasu said.


Asked the secret of his young looks in the promos, Rajnikanth modestly said: 'I take the necessary dietary precautions, avoid excessive salt, sugar, milk and think positive.'


The Tamil and Telugu versions of the film are expected to release later this month with over 450 prints in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, said a spokesman of its distributors Pyramid Saimira.
