the main aspect about the superstar movie at his late stage be the frequency and the lacuna between one movie and the next . be a well establish star of the south indian cinema and the feedback he be receive before baba be great . since nattukku oru nallavan ( 1991 ) and the number of movie he act in tamil a a mass hero in 11 year be only 11 exactly at the rate of 1 per year . all of these be a great hit . he be have a image that many thought could not be easily bring down . but after padayappa ( 1999 ) and he go into a state of hibernation . his fan all over the world and especially in south india be ready to see movie of any kind with their superstar in action . so and the tamil cinema industry decide to come with baba . the movie maker think that the fan will take whatever they show with superstar in it . but this clearly do not work out in this movie . a usual and the hype from the medium and the expectation from the fan be way beyond limit . rajinikanth image be totally damage . the fan go nut . the movie collection do not meet the expect level . reputation of great people go down . the only positive aspect about this movie be the song by a. r. rehman . rehman be know to have compose good music for some bad movie like tajmahal and kadal virus and alli arjuna and paarthale paravasam and star and en swasa katre and vandicholai chinnarasu etc . well and i never think that this movie would join that league . youl feel very much depress not because the movie be bad and itl be because of the superstar image go down . it take him five full year to regain it fully back with two movie chandramukhi and sivaji and give fan back what they really look for in a superstar film .
