no logical explanations, just blind glorifying...go on...
Before Muthu, many Tamil films, and bollywood films released in JaPan all have good story lines than in Muthu, but just went off couple of day shows.. But in Muthu the distrilbuter being very smart, give subtitles in Japan, promoted with Japanese posters declaring, Come !!See the Indian Jackie chan in Action !! That pays off the rich dividend..Though Rajni is no match for him in fast action, it was his style in fighting and the rapid dancing in the film , cached their fancy,, When some of the Japanese Youths who viewed the film attempted to imitate him in the Middle of the road by dancing the Muthu songs, the police catch them for nuisance case, but when the Police Chief himself see that film, to understand their strange behaviour, he release them without any charge ...that is how the culture spread... the subtitles led the japanes understand the Indian cultures.. more Japanese come to learn the Indian values through cinema only.. It is strange but true... I was three years in Karnataka.. where there is anti tamil feelings wide spread.. But I was surprised to learn that many Kannadiga try to learn Tamil so they can watch Rajini films, ( They don't like anyone of dubbing movie) Thus Rajini prove cinema can bridge human races ...who are divided by race religion, nationality,
