You can find raving reviews of the Boss in a variety of places (check out randomriff.blogspot.com/sandeepkannan.blogspot.com) so I am not going to repeat that here. From my perspective the movie was good and a great experience to go through as well. Vivek also rocked which was nice to see. The last time he did so well was is in Anniyan another of Shankars movies.
But Sivaji made out a very good economic point as well especially from the tax point of view. A lot of my friends are tax consultants and I personally liked tax a lot in my CA articleship days but later decided that I dont want to make a career out of it and I kinda know how the system works. From an economic perspective, lets say the true rate of tax any person should pay is x% and for some reason they are paying tax rates above that - tax consultants work hard with their clients and arguing with the govt to ensure that corporates end up paying as close to x%. But on the other hand they are lots of people who pay well below the true rate of tax and while the government tries to ensure that these people come and pay true rate of tax - its very difficult for the govt to ensure they pay because they cannot get intermediairies like tax consultants to help them ensure everyone pays a true rate of tax. Sivaji proposes one more solution for this kind of problem:) The key is to incentivise people to report tax frauds et al and somehow ensure that everyone pays a fair/true amount of tax. This will also ensure the true rate of tax is lower for people like us as well.
