NGK is a masterpiece. I'll take you through its political essence in this thread. Kindly follow it with patience.

Personally I can relate lot of its moments with Rajinikanth's politics.
1. Starts with basic wish of many commoners - "Youngsters to take up the political power for the greater good." NGK is related with MGR in final frame, portraying we need someone like him.
2. NGK realizes the actual POWER of being in politics. To change the system, one must step into politics. No other way.

So he takes the political plunge.
3. To achieve in politics, it should be started from grassroots. Its a tough & dynamic subject, that demands constant learning. That's why, NGK keeps saying:

"I will learn."
4. Modern politics with an expensive strategist. Like DMK's Prashant Kishore - KMK's Vanathi. Her main work is to create a political WAVE.

Note the final frame about "Timing is everything" in politics.
5. The story of Chanakya-Chandragupta by Rajinikanth, can be very well related here. People are waiting to see NGK. But he keeps them waiting for long.

He waits silently to make an entry at right time.
6. With perfect timing, he enters before people. People's huge expectation, attention & love makes him THE leader.

This is the ORIGIN of his political wave. Goosebumps!
7. Two big political parties fearing about THE WAVE created by NGK. They both decides to take him down.

They are absolutely terrified by the third front - NGK.
8. Everybody has an interest to change our system. But only very few have the power, courage & time to change it. They're the much needed heroes/leaders of our society.

We must be wise to welcome them atleast.
9. Good character & popularity are fine. But you need money to establish your political foundation. Corporate friends' help is necessary in politics.
10. "People's mass intelligence!"

You cannot attract people by speaking movie punch dialogues. Cinema & politics are totally different. Btw, THE Baasha Rajini reference 🔥
11. You should be a sensible unique orator who doesn't bore people. You need own style. Own political style!

That's how you can become a charismatic leader.
12. We need a leader who can bring discipline among people with "iron-hands." NGK demands that very strongly. This is the most needed change, IMO.
13. In politics, time & situation can force the leader to take any kind of surprising but SENSIBLE decision *in order to secure the victory.* We shouldn't be surprised by that!
14. You cannot decode people's mind easily despite huge love & support. That's why politics is the toughest dynamic subject. You have to keep on LEARNING.

Movie ends with this dialogue to insist political learning's importance.
15. THE GOAT IN HIS OWN WAY 🙏🏻
