Kochadaiiyaan Review - Watch for Rajini
This expensive experiment has proved one thing very clear. Rajinikanth voice and expressive dialogue delivery more than makes up for all the shortcomings one would notice on the animation department. The highlights of the movie is the precision in which Rajinikanth's stylish gait has been captured and enhanced. Rajini brings out the difference between Rana and Kochadaiyaan very well in his voice acting. (more)

Absorbing screenplay and the technology makes KOCHADAIIYAAN an interesting fare
The film, a mass entertainer to please the legion of fans of Rajinikanth, portrays the superstar in a role that does justice to his image -- a man of extraordinary abilities. And I must add, no other actor could've portrayed the archetypal superhero with such brilliance. Soundarya deserves kudos for making sure she delivers what one has come to expect from a Rajinikanth film. Additionally, right from the costumes to the armour to the overall look of the superstar, KOCHADAIIYAAN decorates the superstar luminously. (more)

Most importantly, his mannerisms were intact in the animated format and that was one of the highlights of the film and it certainly gave audiences a reason to love the film at regular intervals.
