Siva has used all the ingredients that had been a staple in the brother-sister relationship movies from the 90s. It has a doting brother (Rajinikanth) and a sister (Keerthy Suresh), who is highly dependent on the former. And one day, she gets married. She later seems to fall outside the safety bubble of her elder brother as the reality of this unpromising world catches up with her. It is a classic melodrama setup. But, Siva is not just promising a highly sentimental film. He has also seemed to have whipped up high-voltage, over-the-top action sequences fraught with non-stop flow of punchlines. Even as punchlines and over-the-top action have always been synonymous with Rajinikanth, it has been some time since we have seen him in such a comfortable space.
The trailer gives us a glimpse of Rajinikanth’s no-holds-barred performance, which is high on energy, despite the fact that the 70-year-old superstar faced many health issues while shooting this film.
In a way, the film’s production tested both the physical and emotional limits of Rajinikanth.
