Kabali Movie Public Review | First Day - First Show Review 

So  what is it about Rajinikanth?

It is his style..the way he moves, the way the sits, the way he talks, the way he puts on his shades, the way he fights, his gravity defying stunts every thing is just unique and defies laws of physics. I have been a childhood fan of his. I remember how we used to discuss the movie in the school.

Here are some of the acts he pulls up:

  • Can put on his shades in a way that you can not even imagine. In fact you can imagine most of his acts
  • he lights cigarettes with his pistol
  • catches grenades with his eyes closed
  • Once he ran out of bullets.. he catches the bullet fired at him.. puts it in the gun and fires back


What people lovingly joke on his superhuman capabilities

  • UFO in mars is rajni flying kite
  • when he does push-ups it the earth which goes up and down
  • When Rajnikant switches on his AC, then winter starts in India.
  • Facebook founder Mark Zukerburg is hospitalized with serious injury……Reason- Rajnikant poked him on facebook…
  • why ‘earthquake’ occurs on earth?? bcoz at that time rajnikant‘s mobile is on vibrate mode!!!
