What’s this obsession with logic in the recently-released Sivaji? Every single Tamil weekly review adds a line saying that a particular scene defies logic. Examples quoted include the hawala transaction, Rajinikanth’s cable-cutting act (!), Rajinikanth resurrected after being declared dead etc. Is a puny (Think Dhanush!) hero fighting 15 guys logical…and to think, that’s been happening for ages now, in Tamil cinema. Cinema is a make-believe art with only a few directors treading the realistic path. Shankar perhaps adds scenes for the effect, not for the logic. Is it so hard for reviewers to accept this fact?
