What, if not madness?

Rajni(kant) mania has struck again. His latest flick Sivaji - the Boss which was released sometime in mid-june is rocking the theaters across the world, thanks to his mad fan following. On the first look i read only half the movie title and thought it has something to do with the legendary shivaji (dumb me!!) and its only after reading the last part that i realized: the demigod is back in his new avtar. Despite his films being devoid of much meaning and having a counterpart only in fantasy movies or cartoon films, they are able to create (fools) paradise for his fans everytime. That's what happened with the release of his latest movie, the fans went mad...checkout these images. I'm forced to ask "what is this, if not madness?". I've nothing against rajni but a 'seasoned' actor like him doing such foolish roles and then the crowd going mad after it, really calls for some brickbats. Seeing his movies, any sane man could easily say, rajni would make a great comedian in a movie for the sensible.

They say, entertainers are necessary in every society, but then their entertainment must be seen in the right perspective...should people go mad behind a comedian, calling him god, killing innocent animals just to please gods (who are still supposed to grace the temples) to make his otherwise horribly pathetic movies successful? See the action in his films and you would wonder if all newtonian physics has been turned on its head while you were still sleeping. See for yourself. Three hundred years back pope exclaimed:

"Nature and Nature's Laws lay hid in night;
God said, 'Let Newton be!' -- And all was light."

I say: "Nature and Nature's laws lay petrified;
           Let rajni be and all is defied."

Hail rajni!!

Raghu, perhaps you are right in believing that such issues mustn't hava a place on my blog but it is there, primarily, for two reasons: first, let those of my readers who didn't get the chance to come across all the fuss(thru mail or otherwise) know how mad our brothers can go.
second, to have the pleasure of having done my share of cursing the masses...
