And beyond that is the awkward fact that the biggest hit produced in India this year wasn't a product of the supposedly dominate Hindi-language cinema of Mumbai (formerly Bombay), but of the deep South Indian Tamil-language industry based in Chennai (formerly Madras). Which means that the most popular movie star in that entire enormous nation is neither veteran tough-guy Amitabh Bachchan nor his heartthrob son Abhishek (who appeared together in JBJ), but the performer invariably referred to as Superstar Rajnikanth. Superstar Rajnikanth is the ham-acting, 50-something favorite of cab drivers and paan sellers who swept all before him in director Shankar's 2007 blockbuster Sivaji — The Boss, dancing in a series of garish wigs to a brace of A.R. Rahman tunes. (The movie played its four-wall theatrical engagements in the U.S. without subtitles, but when the DVD arrives, I will be all over it.)
