  Dear Freinds,
  
  Thank you for your response. It is no use to reply for Baba's negative feedback as it is too early. As you all know that response for Rajini movies will not just stop within months but it will take years. A good example is Padayappa. Hundreds of anti-Rajini wrote about Padayappa that it is a stupid movie, not logic, useless, definate flop, etc until last month. But this did not made Padayappa flop. It is not only super hit in Tamil Nadu and Andra but also foreign countries.
  
  Same thing for Baba. The anti-rajini are the one to see the movie first and try their best to bash this movie. As for majority of Rajini fans, we are very much satisfied with the movie. Rajini had understood what his fans want and delivered it in brilliant manner.
  
  Baba is like movie Muthu. First half of the movie is for majority of Rajini fans and the next half is a for ladies (kind of sentiments and spiritual). He knows how to attract the audience.
  For your information, Muthu reached 180 days in Madras in normal shows.
  
  But i can understand why you all bashing Baba. There are only two reasons.
  
  1. Baba is released after three years with high expectations
  2. Really irritated by the magazine and newspaper for giving very much importance before the release
  
  I would like to comment that Baba will be super hit in not only Madras but also small towns.
  
  Baba Counting starts! 1,2,3,....

  ITS NOT A RAJINI'S USUAL MOVIE.HE WANTS TO DO ANOTHER MOVIE WITHOUT GIVING A LONG INTERVAL.
  
  BABA IA ALWAYS THE BEST.
  
  THIS REVIEW IS LIKE RAJINI'S DECISION IN THE MOVIE.

  In thiruvananthapuram in Kerala, the film is released in two theatres. On the first day, there was a clash between the police and the cine goers. The number of people came to watch the first show of the film was much more than the two theatres can allow. I didn;t get any response about the film from kerala. But one of my andhra friends told me that the film is average.
  
  My opinion is that if the film is atleast average it will become a hit. Also they have released large number of prints to reap the initial pull totally; before the negative response makes any effect. So the business part they have done good

  For the Telugu release, they had 120 prints developed but managed to release only 40 prints in Andhra. So, they have 80 prints sitting un-utilized in the processing lab. From the response the movie has received in Andhra the 40 prints in circulation should come back within 2 weeks time. Things are worse in TN. For example in Trichy the tickets which were priced at over Rs.50 on the first day is going for Rs.20 but no takers for them. On Friday (2nd day of release) the noon shows in 3 theatres combined (capacity 2500) had less than 750 people watching it. In Pondicherry -Ananda and Ram theatres the Friday morning show was not housefull at all. The movie is going to be the biggest disaster ever. I would like to see what the tamil magazines would do now. Would they publish the true facts or are they going to come up with excuses or plain ignore the movie from now on or maybe they might think the entire state of TN is gullible and declare the movie the biggest hit? Lets wait and see

  Padam Kai alavu. Paraparoppo ulagaluvu.
  Ragavendra padam was too good. But was it a hit?
  I am a rajini fan since I saw him for the first time in Buvana oru kelvikkuri in late 70s. But the rajini we expect is not in the movie. When I saw the movie there was a visible blatant negative reaction. It is upto Rajini to realise this and make a good movie next time

  Yo I simply loved the songs. I think this is by far ARR's best work. Hope his trend continues, as he had A LITTLE dead period. Baba is going to break all box office hits. Already here in Montreal people are waiting for black tickets...
  
  Chip..Chip..Cheerios

  The response in Bangalore is phenomenal...The going rate for the past three days is 1K...Unbelievable for a film like Baba, though I have not seen it as yet...Even if the film is a flop in Andhra (no doubt, Rajni was not liked there anyway ;-)) but being a hit in Bangalore is like bringing rains to a drought hit state...The songs are good, only one has to see the film and decide on his own whether it is good or not good...No point in listening to the vibes of the media as they are only there to make a fast buck (on a day to day basis) which is their fight for survival...Now that Rajni has become close to the family of Dr. Rajkumar, the film in Karnataka, especially, Bangalore is going to be a superhit...Hope I get to see the movie before it becomes too old...

  Balaji,
  Who said people in AP do not like Rajini? They like him a lot. They also respect Kamal.

  Nilacharal Review
  
  Music : A R Rehman
  Cover design: By Soundarya Rajnikanth. It's simple and Superb. (Though there are some errors)
  Audio quality: Good
  Audio company: Star Music
  Price: cassettes Rs. 50 / CDs Rs. 175
  
  Atlast universally much awaited and much hyped songs of BABA were released on 31st July. Let's have a close look at the songs of this album
  
  1.Baba Theme (Ekamevadhvitiyam):
  
  Usually Rajini's film songs begin with an introductory song by S.P.B. and this used to be the most expected song by his die hard fans. But here the album starts with a peaceful theme music blended with Srinivas'sanskrit chanting. This depicts the superstar's obsession towards spirtuality. The theme, Rajini wants to deliver through this song is that "there can be only one paramatma" .
  
  2. Dippu Dippu:
  
  This fast number promises to be the introductory song for Rajini in this film. But it's doubtful whether the metallic voice of Shankar Mahadevan will suit for Rajini. This number is really peppy and in bangra style. But it strongly reminds us of some old songs of Vidyasagar inspired heavily by punjabi folk by Gurdasman. The song is written by Vairamuthu. In Baasha, the human life was differentiated into 8 parts and here into 3 parts namely childhood, youth and aged. A poet like Vairamuthu could avoid meaningless leads like 'Dippu Dippu Kumari'. Shankar Mahadevan pronounces Baba as Bebe!!! If his intention was to sound stylish,let the fans of superstar forgive him for that.
  
  3. Baba kichu kichu
  
  As usual, Rehman has introduced a new voice to TFM , of Reena Bharadwaj .S.P.B. is the co-singer whose magical voice suits Rajini a lot. A special feature of this song is that, superstar has rendered his golden voice in the beginning.
  
  The new singer seems to have a voice with a cocktail of honey and wine. Though it's a duet song, it's heavily flavoured with Rajini's concepts and present political scenario. It is penned by vairamuthu and it is a commendable job. This song easily sticks to the lips of the listener and will be a sure hit.
  
  4. Maya Maya
  
  Karthik and Sujatha have lent their voices for this masterpiece of the album. The song is in the usual style of Rahman with enchanting tune and haunting beats. It's sure that the fans are going to be crazy when this song is played in the movie .The songs will reverberate in the Top Ten shows in Satellite channels and in the minds of people.
  
  It seems Vaali wote the lyrics in 10 minutes time after listening to the tune of Rahman over phone (from London). Sujatha's voice is as usual as cool as cucumber and the song diverts into various raagas and pitches with different beats.
  
  5. Raajiyamaa
  
  Those hearing this song for the first time will mistake the voice to be KJY but it's by Jeyachandran. No one will believe that this is Rahman's tune because it's totally different and it sounds like Raja's song.
  
  The whole story of the film and Rajini's present mystical status is well projected in this song by vaali. The song flows like "adhisayam adhisayam Periyaar thaan aanadhenna Rajaji" , which created ripples among the DK people who even filed a case stating that Periyaar is derated by this line. But later as Rajini had promised to change the line, the case was withdrawn. This created more publicity to the already much awaited film.
  
  6. Sakthi kodu
  
  The upcoming playback singer Karthik's second song in this album. Rehman should have had enough confidence in him that he's given such an emotional song to him and Karthik has used the opportunity to display his talent. This song flows well with karnatic base and in this song Rajini asks for POWER from God in order to demolish the evils and do service to mankind. This song reminds us of the"Kaalaiyum neeye maalaiyum neeye".
  
  Overall review:
  
  There seems to be a conflict in the number of songs in the album. Some cassettes seem to have the song 'Deivam Intru' sung by Krishnaraj that resembles the song 'singam ontru purappattathey'. Most of them don't.
  
  Generally the album lacks consistency. A lack of involvement is sensed at all the levels starting from the playback singers to the director of the movie. Perhaps, ARR's commitment with "Bombay Dreams" spoilt it all.
  
  Usually Rehman's songs take time to catch people's mind but stay there for long. Hope this will follow the same trend.
  
  Already this album is in the top of the charts and surely Rajini's magnetism will secure this place for long.
  
  "KNOWN IS A DROP.... UNKNOWN IS AN OCEAN........ "
  
  How about Baba Album? Well guys, perceptions differ.
