Lol, I swear. It makes little sense to catogerize Rajini's movies and blockbusters as any other random money spinners. This man has basically redefined style had charisma on screen. It's been years and I have watched Baasha/Padayappa for countless no of times, yet the excitement when he utters those signature dialogues and does his signature walk is still the same. That's Rajini for you, his aura is unmatched. It's not at all easy to create that mass hysteria, not even for a brilliant actor. His contribution to Tamil cinema is massive.
And word on his acting skills. His earlier films showcased his acting skills pretty well. But later, his stardom did restrict him from exploring varied genres. But come on, of course he can act. The thing is his style and swagger has dominated everything else, coz people preferred to watch it over anything else. π
