Being a south Indian, it was impossible for me to live without hearing the name “Rajinikanth” in my life. Most of the south Indians were watched his films at least once in their life. Just like his films, he made his brand and wealth through his hard work. One thing I have to mention specially is his renowned humbleness. Most of the lines he was given through films are now great dialogues. But as indicated in the blurb, I also have seen so many people who were quoting him in casual occasions for conveying a message in an interesting way (in fact, me also). That much the actor and his stylish film heroes influenced the life of common people.

This book lists 30 top punch dialogues from Rajini movies. The authors P.C.Balasubramanian and Raja Krishnamoorthy then relates these punch lines with business and life management in an absolute creative way. Since both of them have built corporate organizations and have been successful for a long time, these piece of wisdom is a great insight into personal and business mastery.

A nice thought of business and personal lessons from the punch dialogues of the charismatic actor of the film industry. Some of the chapters are good, however, some seems like forced retrofitting into the punch dialogues. Overall, the book is a different thought of extracting management and life lessons from punch dialogues.

Good for a quick read

The superstar Rajinikanth is popular for his exceptional performances in the most creative roles he got in South Indian cinema. His sincerity to any role he plays, makes his character desirable. The lines he was given, are now great dialogues. The book was written with the purpose of influencing Rajinikanth fans using the popular dialogues he speaks in his movies, to inspire them improve their professional and personal lives.

Positives: The book is very well structured and beautifully presented. Each dialogue is accompanied by a picture, the author then begins explaining its meaning in brief, followed by a crisp implication in life and business.

A fun and motivating read. The originality of the idea is commendable.

Negatives: The font size is small.

The Verdict: The most entertaining way to get inspired! Go grab it!. 3.5 stars on 5.

Thanks to author, for his out of box thinking. Interlinking rivers is tough task in India. Interlinking Rajini's dialogues with business concept is possible. Author has achieved this.
Even the dialogues are told by writers, it is getting full form if it is uttered by Super Star's mouth.

All the comparisons are predictable! It might be a attractive book for a die-hard rajni fans but not for those who studied even the basics of management. But it is a good effort and a best way to propagate management thoughts to the Rajni fans:)

[Sambasivan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short but punchy collection of quotes. Clever selection. Every article links the quote with business and life with appropriate quotations from well known public figures. Interesting thoughts well worth ruminating. Well done!!

Being a Rajini fan, reading the inner meaning in his punch dialogues is really awesome....

[Ashok · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not for everyone but read it if you are a hard core Rajinikanth fan.

[Sam · Rating 1 out of 5]

Lot of effort has been put in by the authors to retrofit philosophy quotes and management concepts into Rajini's punchlines. The book gives an experience of reading a rough draft.

[Sridhar Babu · Rating 1 out of 5]

badly written . nothing new

[Anand Nataraj · Rating 1 out of 5]

One of the poorly drafted books... Rajini's punch can be crafted better......
