ENDHIRAN - MOVIE REVIEW!!!


Finally, I managed to watch the most highly-anticipated and highly-hyped movie which is Endhiran -The Robot. Well, with all the big guns (SuperStar Rajinikanth, director Shankar, Aishwarya Rai, AR Rahman) involved in the movie and that too with budget around Rs150 Crores, the costliest Indian Movie ever made, it's absolutely justified for the people to have expectations of the movie. Does the movie deliver? Let's check it out

The Story

Dr Vaseegaran (Rajni) is an highly intellectual scientist specializing in robotics, creates highly advanced robot or humanoid known as Chitti (Rajni as well) which is basically a perfect specimen capable of doing almost everything a human can as well as can't do. Vaseegaran see this as his life ambition to an extent that he doesn't even have the time for his lady love Sana (Aiswarya Rai). His goal is to provide the robot's service to the Indian Army so that the humanoids can substitute human in war, reducing casualties and loss of lives. Enter Professor Bora (Danny Dengzompa) who is jealous of Vaseegaran success as he was an ex-student of the professor who have exceeded him in terms of knowledge and success.

Out of Jealousy, the Professor disapproves and rejects the permission of using the Robot in the Indian Army with the reason that the Robot is just that- A Robot, which doesn't think like a human and does not have the emotions and feelings that the human have. Feeling Dejected, Vaseegaran enters (or uploads) all the human emotions and reactions into the Chitti's system, making him almost human. But the decision proves to be a big mistake as Chitti falls in love with none other than Sana, his creator girlfriend and purposely fails the Army test so that he can be with Sana, which angers Vaseegaran and in turn he dismantles Chitti and throws him away.

Broken and dejected, Chitti asks help from Professor Bora to help turn Chitti back to how he used to look like. The Professor not only repairs and restores Chitti but also upgrades him by inserting a red chip called as a "destructive program" which makes things worse as Chitti turns from an innocent child-like humanoid to a demon known as Chitti v2.0 (Rajni again)!!!..With the love he has for Sana, he destroy and kills everything that comes in his path, in order to be with his one and true love Will he succeed? How Vaseegaran stops Chitti v2.0? What is the fate of Chitti in the end? That you've to find out in the big screen.!!

Performance

Rajnikanth shows why he's the undisputed Superstar and he's in perhaps the best form in his life!!! His acting is three types of roles as Vaseegaran, Chitti and Chitti v2.0 is fantastic. My personal favorite is Chitti v2.0 as Rajinikanth is absolutely mind-blowing as the villain and instantly reminds me of the Rajnikanth whp was the villain in the early 70's. He also provides a very cute performance as the Innocent Chitti and a matured performance as Dr Vaseegaran. Overall, this might be one of his all time best movie!!

Aiswarya Rai proves why she's being described as one of the most beautiful women in the world (said by Hollywood actress Julia Roberts) as she is beautiful in every frame of the movie and is lucky to have a role that is one the most important and crucial for the movie's story. Overall, she's one of the major assets in Endhiran.

Others: Danny Dengzompa provides a nice performance as the villainous but calculative professor. Santhanam and Karunas handles the comedy department together with Rajnikanth superbly. All other cast also provide the required performance for the movie

Technical Department

Endhiran is made with budget of Rs 150 crores and this can be seen especially in the technical aspect and visual effects of the movie. All technical aspects are top notch and is made on Hollywood Standards which is a positive sign for Indian Cinema. Songs are superbly made by AR Rahman and were beautifully picturized on screen. My personal favorite is Kilimanjaro and Kadhal Annukal.  Cinematography Rathnavelu is top notch and adds value to the movie. Special effects done by Stan Winston Studios and Industry of Light and Magic is superb, especially in the climax part of movie. Editing is good and dialogue are classy and standard Praises should be given the dialogue team as they managed to convey some technical terms in a more easier and understanding manner to the audience. Overall, The Technical Department is absolutely world class and a round of applause should be given to Shankar for bring out the best from his team.

Highlights (Plus points)

Rajni and Aishwarya
Special effects (The climax is perhaps one of the best in Indian Cinema, watch it and you'll know what i'm talking about!!)
Comedy
Cinematography and Technical Aspects of the movie

 Flaws (Minus points)

A bit Lengthy
Placement of songs (sometimes disrupts the tempo but thankfully the tempo manage to pickup as soon as the song ends.)

Overall Summary

Endhiran is the first sci-fi movie of Indian Cinema and it's definitely one of the best Indian movie ever made. It will definitely be a stepping stone for Indian Cinema to dream and come up with more bigger and creative ventures in the future. A good round of applause for Shankar and his team for providing a classic known as Endhiran-The Robot

 My Verdict

Watch and Experience the "Endhiran" extravaganza!!!



P.S : Note this Bollywood..THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A BIG BUDGET MOVIE!!!
