Reliving the 'Basha' experience
- IndiaGlitz, [Sunday,March 05 2017]
Superstar Rajinikanth's epic blockbuster Baashaa' has rereleased in its digitally remastered version after a gap of 22 years. The original film released on January 12, 1995 and ran for over a year in theaters.
There is no point in reviewing a film which we all have watched many times in television. But it will be appropriate to share the experience of watching the cult among mass hero films in theaters which have now upgraded to the digital format and Dolby or DTS sound systems.
Generally the words digitalized, remastered etc will be used to promote and old product as new. But in the case of Baashaa', the technology has been utilized well. We don't get the feel of watching an old film and the freshness of the visuals are almost retained.
Deva who gave super hit songs and pulsating rerecording for the film has added music and new sounds to the new version. The music and sounds perfectly match the current day RR standards. Especially in the interval block fight scene, the newly added instruments and sounds enhance the goose bumps.
To give a feeling of freshness, the makers have opted to add OLA taxi advertisement stickers in most of the autos-rickshaws that appear in the film. But the best part is that this doesn't look like a graphic work at all and it is as if the OLA stickers have been pasted on the autos.
Needless to say that the crowd erupts for every dialogue and mass scene of Thalaivar in the film. Though we are enjoying this experience in every film of his and it is going to be the same in his future films too, the feeling we get while shouting, clapping and whistling with the crowd for Baashaa' is still a different and not to be missed experience.
