Weirdest Hangover Of Watching 2.0, I Can’t Look At Rajnikanth For A While

Before the fans of thalaiva start planning a lynching, let me clarify, it has got nothing to do with his stellar and entertaining performance in 2.0.

Now that we have the disclaimer in place, let us remember on old Hindi puzzle. Teetar ke do aage teetar, bolo kitne teetar?

Just replace teetar with Rajnikanth and the film posed the same riddle in front of me. A product of excellent VFX of Global standards, 2.0 simply has too many Rajnikanth for anyone to process.

Picture this, there are hundreds of Rajnikanth being assembled by…ummm well…Rajnikanth. There are lakhs and lakhs of Ranjnikanth making a big Ranjikanth. There are also many Rajnikanths making different formations to become a cage, a net, a horseshoe magnet, a firing ball.

It is not just the numbers, but also the proportions that vary. You have two human sized Rajnikanth, one mammoth Rajnikanth and many, many mini Rajnikanths who roam around on pigeons. We kid you not, at one point every inch of the screen is filled with simply too many Rajnikanths in too many different sizes. Boy is it trippy.

Ever since I have watched the film, I can simply see Rajnikanth all around me. Literally, every face seems like that of him and so does every object. The image has just been hammered into my mind way too effectively. It will surely take me a while to escape this super weird hangover.
