I've always wanted to see Rajini (or even Kamal) in a post-apocalyptic, Book of Eli kinda movie. The production will cost big, yes. But to witness Rajini as an aged bounty hunter trying to survive in the ruins of Earth would be so damn cool.
I will gladly accept the review where you say Darbar is loosely written and doesn't come together all along, mainly towards the end. But very surprising that BR finds Sarkar or Bigil like movies sensible, dafaq bro?
As long as we are not discerning and satisfied easily then we are never going to get another baasha or annamalai, if something is lesser than what you have earlier received, always criticize so that quality will improve
It's all the expectations one sets, bro. He would have expected cringe max from Sarkar or Atlee's Bigil and ended up feeling different. Whereas he himself said he expected more out of Kaithi just cuz Lokesh did something like Maanagaram. That's also the reason he liked Viswasam, it came after Vivegam. Also he doesn't watch trailers and go to films :P
This guy didn't appreciate when rajni took the backseat for content driven properly packed scripts like kaala, kabali and 2.0. And when rajni decides to step back to his masala niche like Darbar, he shits on it as well. My problem is the hypocrism involved in his reviews of mass films. I'm a fan of superstar and Darbar didn't work for me, this script and direction looked obsolete to me. Although the first half looked interesting and started to set a premise,the second half was terrible and ineffective. I can't understand how he has different standpoints on simple mass films like this and a pseudo-feminist cringefest movies like Bigil or Factually incorrect Sarkar that speaks nothing but nonsense throughout. -_-
I really liked the film ,it was way more greater than rajini' s previous films ,linga would have been a greater film if it was fully about constructing a dam the flashback scenes are good ,in kabali I really disappointed ,I liked the intro scene thats it .wheareas in kaala it was not as bad as kabali it was good I liked the scene where rajini was drunk and repeating the same question to the minister " aama yaar ivaru" and the " vaadi en thangai silai" song was good .in 2.0 I liked the film but I can't see it as a rajini film it is Shankar's film.petta didnt impressed me .but in darbar you can feel the rajini fire ,from the very first scene ,yogi- rajini comedy worked well ,the love portions are way more convincing than the previous films,father - daughter sentiment scenes are good ,Nivetha 's performance added a hype to the revenge saga ,bgm was lit great work ,rajini looked very young,energetic,powerful ,the main flaws are action sequence ,villain character was not designed properly but it was a good entertaing movie and treat for thalaivar fans
White Collars You were spot on about Linga.. I often watch just the one hour flashback sequence of Raja Lingeswaran and I enjoy it better than any other Rajini movie, especially the stylish scenes like ‘I haven’t failed, I have just postponed my success’, the patriotic Indiane vaa, the emotional Unmai Orunaal Vellum and the last scene as a cook.. It was an under appreciated masterpiece ruined by the grandson character..
Why are you picking only negative comments ???...U gave negative reviews for Kaala as well....but you give positive reviews for Bigil Viswasam and again give very average review for Petta...expecting Honesty from you BR...very disappointed
Asking for content/strong writing/aesthetic making in Darbar... criticize Kaala which had all of them 😁 but accept Bigil Viswasam 😁 explain the logic sir
When someone say it copy or something how much script has u can't watch the movie that real truth in the sarkar not movie situation made us think like that it has Telugu cinema climax even character are very nice expect heroine and some other actor who are there only for smile is workout that movie
But for ADMK goondas destroying the theatres , sarkar would have been an absolute flop , it was on the 3rd day eveing show that I was coming via kasi theatre when these goondas were tearing the banners , there was hardly 40 two wheelers in the theatre ........
I did not expect this br sir yes the movie was not perfect but I went to watch a superstar movie and I got it the background score especially the station fight scene 🔥 am happy that song was sang by a transgender (கண்ணலே திமிரு) That was awesome 🖤 the villain was great at the end of the this is the type of movies that are tailor made for festival releases I love Sarkar but for me darbar is way more enjoyable because of the rajini factor and anirudh 🖤
The problem is, it is not surprising that br didn't like darbar, he is a harsh critic. But the fact that he loved bigil and sarkar, really questions what he looks for in the movies.
He looks out for strong Female characters or female factors, I guess. And come on, he's one of the finest critics in this country. If he were biased, he wouldn't have picked a National Award.

Good thing about Darbar....Rajni Rajni Rajni....Look at the Energy level...Darbar is one of the best commercial entertainers after Chandramuki....Where u guys r coming from Mars..Rajni shows great variation between Mad and Super Cop...
The review is given only from your perspective. For me I liked dharbar paying 150 rupees and I had good time pass. I thing you guys can only review sherlock Homes. You can digest bigil and yes we can digest you Sir.....

That's the definition of a review. It's his perspective. That's the whole point. There is no objective "truth" of whether a movie is good or bad. It's up to each person whether they like it or not.
As a die-hard thalaivar fan Darbar didn't work for me. Thalaivar means style.. Age is not a matter, love his Petta, Kabali and Kaala.. Only when people take out "mass" and action from Thalaivar, we can see more comedy, more style, more acting, more Thillu Mullu, More Netrikkan and More Mullum Malarum..
Loved your point about action scenes lacking innovation. This is a general problem in Tamil and Telugu cinema. SPYder and Asuran were above average in this regard.
10:03 Did people forget about Nana Patekar in Kaala? It was a brilliantly developed villain with great symbolism and foil to Rajini’s character. Nawazuddin Siddiqui was also great in Petta. BR seems to be flipping sides whenever reviewing Rajini films.
What really upsets me is how Thalaivar, at the age of 70, still puts soooo much energy and pizzazz into his performance and this JUST ISN''T matched by the script, the direction or the music. It is the damn Director's responsibility to deliver a HIT screenplay to Thalaivar and AR Murugadoss failed miserably in doing that. What a disappointment...No wonder Thalaivar released updates of his next movie before Darbar even released. And Anirudh was horrible....there was a time when a Rajini movie had all hit songs....anyone remember Chandramukhi,Sivaji?????
Man i think u two got the poorest of taste in songs... The album of Darbar is really exception lly well... And the RR he has has done has taken the movie into a next zone.. i feel that other songs( except dum dum) is more good than chumma kizhi ( which itself is one of the best!) My fav one is kannala thimiru
If you look at the action sequence in Kaithi, it was not only the fights..The situation in which the hero fights,, there is a absolute tension and extreme pressure under which the hero fights..So the action sequence gets more gritter!! I think you can't compare a fine film like Kaithi with other films that got released recently..
i watched Darbar in telugu and enjoyed the movie and BGM but the songs didn't sound good.i thought it might be a dubbing issue, maybe the lyrics didn't translate well into telugu, did you enjoy Songs in Tamil?
@@ungammoi By no means this Mottai is a neutral reviewer. He is a Kamal sombu and he tries to degrade RajiniKanth by finding faults in whatever he does. He praises Sarkar, Bigil, Viswasam and criticises Petta,Kaithi just to degrade RajiniKanth and promote the other guys
Murugadoss is certainly loosing the touch. He is deliberately becoming a more MASAALA DIRECTOR LIKE TELUGU CINEMA, I just don't know why. The intelligence and Style from THUPPAKI is missing. KATHTHI was excellent as a masala film too but it's writing and standards were way high. In DARBAR I was expecting a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE type flick , Atleast like an ageing JOHN WICK. I just wish, he comes back to do movies like THUPPAKI & KATHTHI
sasi kumar COME ON Man, get a life murugadoss always has a good character arc and realistic stunt pieces. I was stating his poor film making these days We all know about telugu Stunts & masala flicks KAITHI, NERKONDA PAARVAI, BIGIL, NGK , THAMBI WERE WAY BETTER THAN TELUGU COMMERCIALS Even BIGIL & NKP, PETTA had definite character arc & action blocks Vinaya Vidheya Raama, SAAHO, SYERAA ..??? Stunts in Aravindh Samedha were......... It's just a matter of perception
Hari Krishna Sai Boss I really like to watch telugu movies not their commercial stunts. I really loved Aatagadharaa siva , JERSEY was absolutely mind blowing, first time I watched in THEATRE. Even GANGLEADER was good. But tell me Even if GREAT STARS come with different or realistic COMMERCIAL FILM, they fail.. Take MAHESH BABU'S NENOKKADINE , AITHE Even Yevade Subramanyam was not success.. That's why TELUGU AND TAMIL DIRECTOR'S make useless STUNTS AND SENTIMENT scenes in BILINGUAL flicks. I hope you get some sense man
can you do a review on This year telugu sankranthi releases(Ala vaikuntapuram lo, sarileru nekevaru, etc), so that it will be a good perspective change for us...
The ground beneath FC south's universe caved in when BR was dancing over a movie like Action and not condemn/ banish it for what it was. Boss, Rajinikanth played the father of a daughter whos in the marriageable age in Darbar. In Kaala too he aged perfectly. If this man doesnt look his age despite being 70 then it is not his fault at all. (Especially that screen presence. Hes a natural.) Now directors like ARM are vain and escapists they sign up the big stars and put their feet up saying half my job is done. Now Ill bring in a few plot points and mount it big(with absolute disregard to whether that plot point is even needed like that bounty on cops idea, even the revelation of the suspense of Valli's death)and voila you have a blockbuster. Sunil shetty is the most wooden faced actor you can think of and here he is opposite Rajinikanth atleast he didnt scream his lungs out nor indulge in theatrics (thanks to small mercies) which a Pasupathy would have done coz hes a kind of actor who needs the backing of a solid script to shine which is not there in Darbar. Why Hollywood always, (each to his own I agree)why not Tiger shrof' s intro fight in War very very plausible. ARM redeemed himself a bit through fleshing out Valli and casting Nivetha Thomas in it. Rajinikanth' s acting gets tempered whenever hes shared screen with actors who understand the character and plays it just so right. No theatrics No underwhelming subtlety either. Just play it to the expected meter. Kudos to her performance her pain was so real. Interesting that you bring in Cheeni kum while being covertly judgemental about Nayanthara playing the FL opposite Rajinikanth. Do not rob the agency of a woman. Tabu's character is never in doubt about her choice nor does she feel apologetic about it (played brilliantly by paresh Rawal) she just wants some ideas to bring her stubborn dad around. It is just that in Darbar's romance neither the visuals nor the conversations were mature enough to convey that these are two mutually interested and willing adults trying to take a chance with the other.
Among the mass heroes I probably can only enjoy Rajini movies in that genre. I'm just looking for an entertaining Rajini experience. I really enjoyed padyappa, baasha, petta etc. Probably as long as it's not boring like Lingaa, Baaba I have no issues with illogical storylines. I can't tolerate Vijay movies for example because it has the same illogical storylines but I don't have the fan feeling I have for Rajini. I've been watching his movies since I was a kid and part of me is reliving the magic I felt as a kid on seeing him on big screens. All points BR raised are valid though .. Rajini should hopefully get a good commercial script. As fans it will help us enjoy the Rajini experience even more.
Request : Can you please ask a actor like Thalapathy Thalaivar thalaivar directly why do ask so much money as salary .... I m sure even their Grandchildren have enough by now... It is affecting the movie ... We can't say they don't care abt the movie or audience. Because they work hard for the movie and it seen on screen ... I don't know how much Thala got paid for NKP .. but y don't other high paid actor who have a great potential do a movie like that ...
@UCTV7slbqGpTAI62lG_WpPfw I like his other views and in this video itself I accept his views on action. Same template fight even I got frustrated with villian characterization and final fight . Just plain fist fight. Rest I won't agree because it's the same old template critic.
A better example for an One vs many fight is the knife fight from John Wick 3. The kill Bill partly works because it is set in an over the top world as opposed to JW3.
Rajni finding who Suniel Shetty is way after we know was a big bore. If it was revealed to us the same time he finds out, it would have had a way bigger impact. By the time he figures it out, we lose interest in the narrative. The story had potential, but the screenplay was all over the place. And great point about having better villain characters. If the villain seems invincible, the satisfaction of him being defeated is more. It would be great to see Rajni in a Cheeni Kum kind of movie!
BR saying he didn't like darbar - Ok. BR saying he enjoyed sarkar - what the actual fuck. Darbar is sort of a comeback for arm after the bull crap that was sarkar
4:15 there is nothing new in nivedha's death. Darbar is a "templated revenge" movie just as you mentioned about pattas. So when dealing with some predictable subject writers usually reveal the plot pretty soon. I dont know why a reviewer like you couldn't understand it.
One thing is pretty clear - your reviews and opinion doesn't even come close to common man's sensibilities. Reviewers like you think you have high IQ and talk only to certain set of audience know them all kind of attitude. You are completely out of touch..
@@thedrulesnope, be consistent!! And not everyone just #BR - he is a snob!! When someone goes and give rave review for Kattru veliyidai, I really doubt his method and again I wouldn't voice out it he kept his review to himself..
As a kid, I hated those Rajni movies that were like mullum malarum, 6il irunthu aruvuthu varai, Engeyo Ketta Kural etc.,...They were not fun and most kids loved him to be in scripts that had commercial elements in them.
I dont get why ppl wanted him to like a film ..if u like the film jst go and watch ..chill guys .darbar is a passable entertainer but obv not a grt movie def it will collect well like bigil nd viswasam
see u can't understand Rajni 's thing what the audience expect is style, charisma and mass his experimental films such as ragavendra,valli,kabali and kaala though these are good films with great content it went un successful u can understand by the way so u should think different...
Sarkar had a good story but an average to poor screenplay. Bigil had a decent story & a passable screenplay. Darbar didn't have a story & it's just a movie to enjoy Rajini's mannerisms, it wasn't intended to show as a story based movie.
Prolly the best BR retrospective. I mean how many times can you get rajnified for the same thing where directors are fanboys instead of taking a story like Annamalai (the REAL last good Rajini film that was allrounder.)
lol, u say in Ghajni you can kill off Surya's love interest bcos he was not a huge star at that point. In Darbar, Rajni's daughter is killed! Were you sleeping?
Looks like this guy expected Vitamin-M but didnt get it from the producers for both Petta and Darbar. That's why he is not able to digest the fact that 90% people are completely Rajinified. Look at its run at Box-Office. Directors, next time you make a script please get it approved from this super brain.
BR u r not a film reviewer but a RajiniKanth critic who criticises everything he does. When he plays his age and tried something different u said his movies are not mass enough anymore like it use to be and u start comparing his status to vijay and ajith. U r a hypocrite.
@@lkoshy807 Oh! Idk that u and BR were responsible for all the great movies in the film fraternity. Paah u and that Mottai must have been there when the great authors were scripting all those classic Hollywood movies. Don't think too high of yourself and that Mottai.

You are bias to Vijay. Bigil is great and Sarkar is good. But Darbar is badly written and didn't explore much. You know what I going to ban your RUclips Channel. If you are Rajini fan, please do so..
Mr B.R Pls.wake up and wash your face go to any theatre of your choice and take a feedback from the public you will know Darbar is already a block buster world wide
How much did u to get paid to negatively promote a movie (darbar) to not let audience to go to theaters why the f***do u do dis u lost a respect FILM COMPANION .. I used watch all language content of urs but there was no necessary for dis video when movie still running in theater in its 1 week ...
Everyone has different opinions on things in life. That is life, you need to grow up and accept everyone's opinions. I did not like Darbar or Petta. I loved kabali. I am sure some people loved darbar. So chill the fuck out, it's just a fucking movie alright.
When he speaks in English, the reach is larger. There are lot of Malayalam, Telungu and hindi speaking audience watch Tamil movie. There are alot of NRI , second generation Tamilians in Canada Australia and Germany cant really understand Tamil. All these people watch Tamil movie and making it a take 2000 crore last year. There are so many Tamil content in RUclips you can watch it. BR is the few people that do English content. He is doing something good for Tamil cinema even though he is mottai. Don let be a fucker Karnan K, if you dont understand English go and educate yourself.
I've always wanted to see Rajini (or even Kamal) in a post-apocalyptic, Book of Eli kinda movie. The production will cost big, yes. But to witness Rajini as an aged bounty hunter trying to survive in the ruins of Earth would be so damn cool.

I can't take someone seriously who feels sarkar and bigil are sensible but darbar isn't.
Sarkar was still crap
Darbar was even more crap
He never said bigil and sarkar is sensible. He meant it was not a very bad commercial movie (like sura).

Which movie will you show to the next gen- Thillu Mullu! Indian's entry- isn't that what defines mass moments?
I agree, they shouldn't have mentioned that his daughter was dead in the beginning The hospital scene wouldve been much better if they hadn't
The movie would work better on a second watch since you know what is going to happen.

murugadoss always has a good character arc and realistic stunt pieces. I was stating his poor film making these days
We all know about telugu Stunts & masala flicks
KAITHI, NERKONDA PAARVAI, BIGIL, NGK , THAMBI WERE WAY BETTER THAN TELUGU COMMERCIALS
Even BIGIL & NKP, PETTA had definite character arc & action blocks
Vinaya Vidheya Raama, SAAHO, SYERAA ..??? Stunts in Aravindh Samedha were.........
It's just a matter of perception
lol vijay films are a complete joke
@@haris7137 That's why those telugu film's were flops in telugu also.
Unlike where bullshit films cross 100s of crores.

Hari Krishna Sai
Boss I really like to watch telugu movies not their commercial stunts.
I really loved Aatagadharaa siva , JERSEY was absolutely mind blowing, first time I watched in THEATRE. Even GANGLEADER was good.
But tell me Even if GREAT STARS come with different or realistic COMMERCIAL FILM, they fail..
Take MAHESH BABU'S NENOKKADINE , AITHE Even Yevade Subramanyam was not success..
That's why TELUGU AND TAMIL DIRECTOR'S make useless STUNTS AND SENTIMENT scenes in BILINGUAL flicks. I hope you get some sense man
can you do a review on This year telugu sankranthi releases(Ala vaikuntapuram lo, sarileru nekevaru, etc), so that it will be a good perspective change for us...
The ground beneath FC south's universe caved in when BR was dancing over a movie like Action and not
condemn/ banish it for what it was. Boss, Rajinikanth played the father of a daughter whos in the marriageable age in Darbar. In Kaala too he aged perfectly. If this man doesnt look his age despite being 70 then it is not his fault at all. (Especially that screen presence. Hes a natural.) Now directors like ARM are vain and escapists they sign up the big stars and put their feet up saying half my job is done. Now Ill bring in a few plot points and mount it big(with absolute disregard to whether that plot point is even needed like that bounty on cops idea, even the revelation of the suspense of Valli's death)and voila you have a blockbuster. Sunil shetty is the most wooden faced actor you can think of and here he is opposite Rajinikanth atleast he didnt scream his lungs out nor indulge in theatrics (thanks to small mercies) which a Pasupathy would have done coz hes a kind of actor who needs the backing of a solid script to shine which is not there in Darbar. Why Hollywood always, (each to his own I agree)why not Tiger shrof' s intro fight in War very very plausible.
ARM redeemed himself a bit through fleshing out Valli and casting Nivetha Thomas in it. Rajinikanth' s acting gets tempered whenever hes shared screen with actors who understand the character and plays it just so right. No theatrics No underwhelming subtlety either. Just play it to the expected meter. Kudos to her performance her pain was so real. Interesting that you bring in Cheeni kum while being covertly judgemental about Nayanthara playing the FL opposite Rajinikanth. Do not rob the agency of a woman. Tabu's character is never in doubt about her choice nor does she feel apologetic about it (played brilliantly by paresh Rawal) she just wants some ideas to bring her stubborn dad around.
It is just that in Darbar's romance neither the visuals nor the conversations were mature enough to convey that these are two mutually interested and willing adults trying to take a chance with the other.
Among the mass heroes I probably can only enjoy Rajini movies in that genre. I'm just looking for an entertaining Rajini experience. I really enjoyed padyappa, baasha, petta etc. Probably as long as it's not boring like Lingaa, Baaba I have no issues with illogical storylines. I can't tolerate Vijay movies for example because it has the same illogical storylines but I don't have the fan feeling I have for Rajini. I've been watching his movies since I was a kid and part of me is reliving the magic I felt as a kid on seeing him on big screens.
All points BR raised are valid though .. Rajini should hopefully get a good commercial script. As fans it will help us enjoy the Rajini experience even more.
Seriously varalakshmi in Sarkar ...OMG
You are not judging the film, you are judging the film based on what the perfect Rajni film should have been, according to you!
Request : Can you please ask a actor like Thalapathy Thalaivar thalaivar directly why do ask so much money as salary .... I m sure even their Grandchildren have enough by now... It is affecting the movie ... We can't say they don't care abt the movie or audience. Because they work hard for the movie and it seen on screen ... I don't know how much Thala got paid for NKP .. but y don't other high paid actor who have a great potential do a movie like that ...
I find darbar is a pretty neat film with Rajni Magic
10:55 that's a better mystery than can't be solved any sooner
The same question - Why they revealed that Valli would die
Sir ur critic is the same since the 80s and 90s movies for rajinikanth and yet he wins. So audience don't care.
@UCTV7slbqGpTAI62lG_WpPfw I like his other views and in this video itself I accept his views on action. Same template fight even I got frustrated with villian characterization and final fight . Just plain fist fight. Rest I won't agree because it's the same old template critic.
Can some one please forward this video to rajni sir family
A better example for an One vs many fight is the knife fight from John Wick 3. The kill Bill partly works because it is set in an over the top world as opposed to JW3.
Rajni finding who Suniel Shetty is way after we know was a big bore. If it was revealed to us the same time he finds out, it would have had a way bigger impact. By the time he figures it out, we lose interest in the narrative. The story had potential, but the screenplay was all over the place. And great point about having better villain characters. If the villain seems invincible, the satisfaction of him being defeated is more.
It would be great to see Rajni in a Cheeni Kum kind of movie!
BR saying he didn't like darbar - Ok.
BR saying he enjoyed sarkar - what the actual fuck.
Darbar is sort of a comeback for arm after the bull crap that was sarkar
The only Shivaji movie I have seen is Oru Yathramozhi. It was a memorable one .
8:44 pot bellies with bad wigs.. ROFL 😅
Why did u purposefully choose all negative comments
Because its a garbage movie
Darbar is not living upto the expectation...The energy wasn't there!
4:15 there is nothing new in nivedha's death. Darbar is a "templated revenge" movie just as you mentioned about pattas. So when dealing with some predictable subject writers usually reveal the plot pretty soon. I dont know why a reviewer like you couldn't understand it.
One thing is pretty clear - your reviews and opinion doesn't even come close to common man's sensibilities. Reviewers like you think you have high IQ and talk only to certain set of audience know them all kind of attitude. You are completely out of touch..
@@thedrulesnope, be consistent!! And not everyone just #BR - he is a snob!! When someone goes and give rave review for Kattru veliyidai, I really doubt his method and again I wouldn't voice out it he kept his review to himself..
As a kid, I hated those Rajni movies that were like mullum malarum, 6il irunthu aruvuthu varai, Engeyo Ketta Kural etc.,...They were not fun and most kids loved him to be in scripts that had commercial elements in them.
Ghajini remake of " Momento " Nolen's masterpiece
Not remake but copy 😂
He liked bigil, kaatru veliyidai, pyar prema kadhal.. doesn't it says it all.
I dont get why ppl wanted him to like a film ..if u like the film jst go and watch ..chill guys .darbar is a passable entertainer but obv not a grt movie def it will collect well like bigil nd viswasam
see u can't understand Rajni 's thing what the audience expect is style, charisma and mass his experimental films such as ragavendra,valli,kabali and kaala though these are good films with great content it went un successful u can understand by the way so u should think different...
Sarkar had a good story but an average to poor screenplay.
Bigil had a decent story & a passable screenplay.
Darbar didn't have a story & it's just a movie to enjoy Rajini's mannerisms, it wasn't intended to show as a story based movie.
Prolly the best BR retrospective. I mean how many times can you get rajnified for the same thing where directors are fanboys instead of taking a story like Annamalai (the REAL last good Rajini film that was allrounder.)
Darbar is best when compared to bigil.
Both are crap dude
I have one questions? U guys can Whistle? Produce some noise in the mass Scene ?....please discuss u r view with different opinion people.....
#AskBR Darbar...one more Margabandhu modhal sandhu😂
Rajni has chosen kaaala and kabali coz he felt he longer can do that run of the mill action entertainers and again he is choosing the same genre
bigil , viswasam both worst films
Helloooooo..u keep on blabbering... darbar is good ..u guys too much worried..better dont propagate negative feelings...
Who all think darbar is a better commercial movie of rajini after sivaji...he says that petta has twists in the story but I don't think so
Enthiran , 2.0 , kaala , kabali .. are these not experiments ...
I think Rajini should do Dual role.. A Hero and villain.. still i liked Darbar!
lol, u say in Ghajni you can kill off Surya's love interest bcos he was not a huge star at that point. In Darbar, Rajni's daughter is killed! Were you sleeping?
The only mistake arm did was revealed the reason in the first 15 minutes
U are damn right.I was waiting for her to die from scene 1😂😂😂😂
Rice is our food, chapaathi won't work. So Rajini's darbaar is kind of rice, if he made chapathi it won't work in TN.
Hopefully siva will do a much better job my brother loved the movie I found it mediocre.
Is it time for rajni sir to retire
Looks like this guy expected Vitamin-M but didnt get it from the producers for both Petta and Darbar. That's why he is not able to digest the fact that 90% people are completely Rajinified. Look at its run at Box-Office. Directors, next time you make a script please get it approved from this super brain.
Hii everyone
Br didn't answer my question 🤔 😢
What's your question ?

Plz do interview with Rajini. I think it will be interesting
BR u r not a film reviewer but a RajiniKanth critic who criticises everything he does. When he plays his age and tried something different u said his movies are not mass enough anymore like it use to be and u start comparing his status to vijay and ajith. U r a hypocrite.
Hahaha...ppl like you are why thalaivar cannot do good movies...its not BR's fault!
@@lkoshy807 Oh! Idk that u and BR were responsible for all the great movies in the film fraternity. Paah u and that Mottai must have been there when the great authors were scripting all those classic Hollywood movies. Don't think too high of yourself and that Mottai.
@@lkoshy807 In what way u and this Mottai were responsible in the creation of all the classic movies. Directors and writer do scripts just to express their talents and make money . They don't give a damn what u all will think. Wake up from Ur dreams.
@@SaiRajSwamy Yeah...thanks to a few ppl like BR and me, tamizh cinema will have some good criticism and it will force movie makers to produce decent masala movies....Tamil movies have the potential to be global classics but thanks to fans like you, it'll never happen

All his questions on Darbar would have got good comment and review if he was paid ....NO money No good comment
Marana kaattu mokka padam
Ask Fraud BR - Paid Reviewer
You are bias to Vijay.
Bigil is great and Sarkar is good.
But Darbar is badly written and didn't explore much.
You know what I going to ban your RUclips Channel.
If you are Rajini fan, please do so..
Mr B.R Pls.wake up and wash your face go to any theatre of your choice and take a feedback from the public you will know Darbar is already a block buster world wide
How much did u to get paid to negatively promote a movie (darbar) to not let audience to go to theaters why the f***do u do dis u lost a respect FILM COMPANION .. I used watch all language content of urs but there was no necessary for dis video when movie still running in theater in its 1 week ...
why don't you pay him to put positive reviews for you're thalaivar
Everyone has different opinions on things in life. That is life, you need to grow up and accept everyone's opinions. I did not like Darbar or Petta. I loved kabali.
I am sure some people loved darbar.
So chill the fuck out, it's just a fucking movie alright.
Daii motta unaku than tamil theriyum la athum poga tamil padathuku ethuku da English lae review pandraa
All south Indians watching this channel and Tamil movies so
And there are 1000 channels which does this in Tamil ! If you don't want a English/discussion watch those.
Idiotic comment people from pan south watch it stupid...
When he speaks in English, the reach is larger. There are lot of Malayalam, Telungu and hindi speaking audience watch Tamil movie. There are alot of NRI , second generation Tamilians in Canada Australia and Germany cant really understand Tamil. All these people watch Tamil movie and making it a take 2000 crore last year.
There are so many Tamil content in RUclips you can watch it.
BR is the few people that do English content. He is doing something good for Tamil cinema even though he is mottai.
Don let be a fucker Karnan K, if you dont understand English go and educate yourself.
How many times does he have to answer this question?
