Stupendous! Marvelous! Wordless! It’s so surprising to see that Director Vasu has churned out a best movie in his entire career. And the most exhilarating aspect here is that Superstar Rajnikanth appearing in an embodiment. Getting through his career with flicks that has lots of heroisms, punch dialogues and action stunts, Rajnikanth proves of his ability in performing a role that he hasn’t donned earlier. Performing the role of superstar himself may be something new to all of us, because we happen to see the life of Rajnikanth behind the screens.
Enigma of his Himalayan visits, his idea about entering into politics and the most evoking question of why great actors like him and Kamal Haasan show off more with lay persons? Rajnikanth has his precise answers to each and every questions and that’s something more convincing for his fans.
Let’s take a look at synopsis of this movie…
The film centers on Barber Balan (Pasupathy) in a village leading a dilapidated life with his wife Sreedevi (Meena) and three school -going kids. Balan owns a barber shop that is hardly visited by anyone. Added to this problematic situation, his business turns out to be more pathetic when his competitor Shamugham (Vadivelu) opens a new hair styling Salon that has modern accessories. Despites his poor condition, Balan never gives up his dignity. Unable to meet everyday’s needs, his entire family suffers a lot with the children getting thrown out of school for not paying fees.
It is now, a film crew arrives in the town for a shooting and hero of the film is none other than Superstar Ashok (Rajnikanth). Ashok happens to be the childhood friend of Balan and soon this news is spread all throughout the entire village. Now, everyone in the village are ready to do anything for Balan and all that they want from him is to introduce them all to Ashok. However, Balan is reluctant to meet his childhood friend thinking whether Ashok would remember him.
We are sure that last 20mins of the film is sure to fill your eyes with tears as Superstar Rajnikanth cries out speaking about his friend. Perhaps, his naturalistic performance is so revealing of his real life character of how he adores his friends.
Meena has the same performance as it was in the original version of Katha Parayumpol and women audiences would surely love her role as well that of kids. But in contrast, Nayanthara doesn’t utter even single dialogue in the film and P.Vasu has roped her in just to shake her legs with Rajnikanth and for glamour quotient. Vadivelu dominates the screen with his rib-trickling comedy tracks. Especially, his performance as a surprised person on meeting Superstar wins him applause. Prabhu appearing as a police officer is nothing but an irrelevant character.
The entire film is carried with lots of fun, frolic and emotions, but for some it may be dragging till Superstar appears on the screen with the song ‘Cinema Cinema’. Well, the song has lots to cheer about the way Rajnikanth appears and its tribute to 75yrs of Tamil Cinema is a nice one.
G.V.Prakash does a good job adding more life to the screen with his background score. His musical score the melody, ‘Sollu Sollu’ carries us along with the tune. Perhaps, Aravind Krishna’s cinematography makes the film look more enriched. His depiction of the parts involving Rajni and Pasupathy is really a great job.
On the whole, Kuselan is a movie that redefines many sayings, “Maatha Pitha Guru, Nalla Nanban, Deivam” and “Nalla Nanban Amaivadhlellum Iraivan Thandha Varam”
Bottom - Line: Rajnikanth’s tribute to friendship
Verdict: Strictly recommended to watch

தமிழ்சினிமால இப்பெல்லாம் கதைக்கு
முக்கியத்துவம் குடுக்கமாட்டுக்காங்க. தொப்புள்சீனுக்கும்
தொடைசீனுக்கும்தான் முக்கியத்துவம் குடுக்காங்க. இதனால்
எப்பேர்பட்ட குசேலனா இ௫ந்தாலும் அட்டர்ப்ளாப் ஆயி௫து
இந்த லட்சணப்புண்டையில 100கோடி 200கோடி பட்ஜெட்னு
விளம்பரப்புண்டவேற. தேட்ட௫க்கு போய் நிம்மதியா படம் பாக்க
முடியல. அவ்வளவு ஏன், சீடியில கூட ஒ௫ தடவ பாக்க முடியல.
ரஜினி படத்த கொறஞ்சது 30 நாளுக்கு மேல் ஓடவிடக்கூடாது. ஏன்னா
அவன் வேற மாநிலத்தான். நம்மள அந்த “தே.மவன்”
மெண்டலாக்கிட்டு இ௫க்கான். ரசிகர்களே, தயவுசெய்து அவன் படத்தை இனி மேல் வெற்றி பெற செய்யாதீர்கள். தன்னுடைய மூஞ்சுப்புண்டை ஸ்கிரீன்ல வந்தாலே படம் ஹிட்டாயிரும்னு தப்புகணக்கு போட்டுகிட்டு இ௫க்கான் அண்ணன் குசேலன் ரிசல்ட்ட பாத்து தெரிஞ்சி௫ப்பா௫. கெழட்டுப்புண்டமாதிரி இ௫ந்துட்டு இன்னும் சின்னப் பொண்ணுங்க கூட டூயட் பாடிகிட்டு இ௫க்கான். இந்த லட்சணப்புண்டைல பஞ்ச் டயலாக் வேற. க௫மம் க௫மம்
நான் குசேலன் படம் பாக்க செலவளிச்ச துட்ட ரஜினி ஐயா தி௫ம்பத் த௫வாரா? ரஜினி அவர்கள் இமயமலை அடிவாரத்திற்கு சென்று படுத்து உறங்குவது தான் சிறந்தது.
நான் ரஜினியின் தீவிர ரசிகன். ஆனால் குசேலன் பாத்ததிலி௫ந்து வாழ்க்கையே வெறுத்துப் போச்சு. தியேட்டரவிட்டு வெளிய வந்து ஒ௫ முடிவு பண்ணேன். இனிமே ரஜினி படத்த சிடியில கூட பாக்ககூடாதென்று.
Well said. You are absolutely right. This karuppu sottaiyan has not done anything great in life to achieve the status he has. It is sheer luck that made him a star. He doen’t have any good qualities to set an example for his followers.
Pacca businesmman.
If he starts a political party it will be fully occupied only with kannadigas. And sure he will be a disaster in politics.
TN people are not fools to vote for a mental like him.
He likes Kannadigas and always degrades Tamilians whenver he gets a chance.
Mandaikku veliye thaan onnum illaina ulleyum onnum illai
He is a person who changes his opinions or behaviour to please other people and earn more money. I have copied and modified some interesting comments made by some one here.
1.Fighting with mother in law
2.Fighting with father in law
3.Fighting with wife
4.Fighting with a girl who has one side love on this junk star.
5.Fighting with friend
6.In a single song, he ll become crorepathi from milk man.
7.No different story in his movies.
8.Needs ARRehman,shankar,vadivelu,vivek,teenage heroine.
9.This junk grandfather needs teenage heroine to dance with.
10.He gave one lakh as tsunami fund to TN govt. What a lumpsum amount. Later kamal gave 15lakhs. So this fellow raised the amount to 11Lakhs.
11.He scolded kannadigas in the hoggenekal issue and told i ll not apologize. Now just because disgusting kuselan, he apologized. Does it mean he acted on the stage in TN Film association’s press meet?
12.He is a pacca politician. He didnt do anything for tamilians and tamil cinema. He didnt achieve anything in cinema.
The only achievement that he has done is cheating the whole tamil nadu people. Still some guys are saying “he is great”. I am not sure what rajini has done for these guys.
Guys Please accept the truth. He is a junk selfish moron. He is a pacca selfish guy. Apart from salary, he ll take the distribution rights to get more money. What a worst strategy he is following just to make money.He has not done anything for tamilians. Money minded fellow.
Dont support this Kannada Karuppan ,Bulti Kurangu, Karuppu sori naay, Sottai KP, Black monkey, karuppu sottaiyan, Mental Kurangu,60 vayasu kilavan,
In the karuppu sori naay Mandaikku veliye thaan onnum illaina ulleyum onnum illai. Thats y he apologized to kannadigas to get some money from KN.]
He shd contribute in Beijing olympics - Andhar bulti kurangu competition. Surely he will get the medal for india.
Finally
