It may sound like another Rajinikanth joke, but a new website dedicated to the superstar runs 'without an internet connection'!

Visitors to All About Rajni are greeted with a warning that "He is no ordinary man, this is no ordinary website. It runs on Rajini Power" and are advised to switch off their internet connection to enter the website.

Only when the web is disconnected, one is allowed to explore the site.

It's sad to know that the website just have a single page to explore right now, the "please check the internet settings" page. :(

Edit: Or so I expected!

Turns out, website (or flash) do run only if we disconnect from net. :lol:
Pretty good!

If you have firefox, turn on the web console, you will see that the site is continuously polling (sending GET requests) to:

[01:11:31.813] GET *www.desimartini.com/allaboutrajniV1/config.xml?1751068794 [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 27ms]

This is the actual entry to the console. So, when you disconnect, the request fails and triggers the event to load the rest of the site.

Nothing extraordinary.

Out of the box thinking though. If not copied from someone else, then quite a genius of an idea.

***Edit :

Another lol. When I opened the config.xml, from the above address, it contains.

Code:
<config>
	<MACHA YOU ARE CRACKING IT>
		BUT RAJNI SAYS - RASKALA 
	</MACHA YOU ARE CRACKING IT>

</config>

Now, that's :)

@David: It seems Superstar knew you were cracking the website. :nanananana:

Nice idea though. He's got his unique reputation from his fans.

If SOPA like Laws kills internet in India,perhaps we may rely on 'Rajini Power' to stay offnet?

^^ Of course. It would be not be much, since most of the "data" would be text.

How would forums work if SOPA caused us to go Rajni-style?

Its not a difficult task for one to make a website like this who knows how to make flash websites.
But the thing is how it is implemented and executed
Many flash websites have been made till date but this idea of gaining publicity didn't came in anyone's mind.
This guy implement the right thing at the right place at the right time.
Really appreciate the idea and thinking of the developer.

Its no Rajini Power if i can't take it home and run in my computer where i don't have an intenet connection.
Because i need internet connection to open the website initially anyways.

One cannot simply misuse THE Rajini Brand. Its a cheat. Imagine what would happen if Rajini finds out.

Really Good thinking by the person(s) who came up with the idea.

Instead of saying "Nothing new i know how this works" , lets appricieate them for coming up with the concept first.

Hello everybody, here is another LOL trick that I have found out on Rajanikant.
Have you tried it before this:

Go to Google. Type 'How to kill Rajnikanth'.

Click on the 1st link of search results. :D

Hmmm....looks like someone is trying to cash in on the Rajnikanth phenomenon. Look at the ads.
