Allow us to open with a globally accepted truth -- Rajinikanth is not just a star, he's an entire galaxy. His movies are nothing less than a festival. In keeping with the general mania surrounding the superstar's releases, celebrations have begun in Chennai.

Thus far, some offices have declared a holiday for Kabali's release, people have lined up since 4 AM in front of theatres, and fans have got Kabali haircuts.

Naturally, the Internet was hit by a tsunami of Rajinikanth jokes.
