This post just projects my point of view and is not meant to hurt your feelings or fanaticism.
There is this hype in the air. The hype is so overwhelming, that I feel choked! The hype is so strong that it irritates. The hype is so idiotic that it makes me write this.Actually, These days everything seems to be hyped up; CWG, Ayodhya Verdict, Malaika paid more than Sonakshi for an item number and then Rajini in Robot! Yeah, you got me right, what's with the Robot? People!!! its just a freaking movie. The whole of South India seems to have gone upside down since the day Rajini announced Robot release!
I have been a victim of Chandramukhi and Sivaji and I am not one of those blind die hard fans who is going to buy a ticket for this Robot! Yes, I know that most of you who are reading this are not part of my coterie and I feel sorry for you! Any film critic who rates the movie 2/5 is said to be a Kamal fan. How sad is that :-(. So, basically all you want to hear is awesome, super hit, Rajini's gift to God, The ultimate movie ever made - otherwise you are going to behave deaf and blind! So tell me, why is the world so mesmerized by this movie? It is surely not one of those out-of-the-world Avatar type masterpieces. Nor is it any of those witty 3 Idiots kinds. The answer is simple, it's a "RAJINI" Movie. There are folks ready to pay 800 bucks for a 1st row seat, and 400 bucks for just standing in front of the 1st row seat! I rather spend that money elsewhere!
Like I already said, Its just a movie after all, so Chill guys :)

Phew! Finally someone who shares my feeling about the movie and all the hype for it. Facebook's filled with people glorying the movie that I was almost starting to feel alone in my views.
What's all the more irritating is people faking enthusiasm for the movie just so they can feel part of the crowd. The same ones who, just a few years back, would have been so busy preparing for a class test to even notice a Rajini movie release happening around them. Wonder why the sudden need to act like a die-hard fan.
I feel the same way as you do Sak! I'd rather not voice this opinion everywhere else, for the need to avoid controversy. The mania does seem idiotic and too much that at a point it drives me away from it, like you said choking. Agree its great to be a hard-core fan, but yea this is fanaticism! and being a hard-core fan does not mean you shouldn't be honest. Say honest things and give honest reviews, not a hyperbole everywhere. The cricket fevers are better. Atleast, people are honest about their reviews there. Here, you can't hope to see that even! :( Can't believe that so many of my peers are part of the bandwagon too :((
I do not accept this Sak. Not because am a die hard Rajni fan. But because of the fact that this movie was indeed quite different from any movies released so far in Tamil Film Industry. This is not to be compared with Jurassic Park or Avatar for the special effects. But its indeed a milestone. And coming to the point of 'the hype'... why shouldnt there be one. These days, people have fun and enjoy in so many crazy ways. And they waste money for so many 'crazy' things. All that is done merely to have fun. So why not spend money for watching a movie.. I do not favor the idea of pouring tons of milk over Rajni poster... But if you can afford the ticket price, then you can surely spend for the movie...
this whole blogging thing/idea itself is a hype of bigger propotions compared to a rajnikanth movie.. :D
