Super
Star
Rajinikanth
has
done
it
again,
that"s
multiplied
his
craze
manifold
amongst
his
existing
fans
and
created
a
whole
new
lot
of
fans
with
his
latest
man
v/s
machine
super
entertainer
Endhiran.
Touted
as
a
Rs.
160
crore
budgeted
bonanza
making
it
the
costliest
ever
made
Indian
film,
the
sci-fi
thriller
Robot
is
a
full
on
paisa
vasool
entertainer.
Scientist
Dr.
Vasi
(Rajinikanth)
after
years
of
hard
work
succeeds
in
making
an
andro
humanoid
named
Chitti.
Carrying
the
power
of
100
men,
Chitti
is
well
trained
in
every
aspect
right.
Vasi
wants
to
offer
him
to
the
Indian
Army
but
rejection
comes
from
Dr.Vohra
(Danny)
the
ex
mentor
of
Vasi
who
has
some
devious
plans
of
his
own.
It
is
pointed
out
that
Chitti
lacks
feelings
and
can
go
wrong.
Vasi
therefore
reworks
the
structure
of
Chitti
and
adds
human
emotions
to
him.
But
then
complications
arise
as
Chitti
experiences
the
emotion
of
love
from
Vasi"s
fiancee
Sana
(Aishwarya
Bachchan).
He
falls
in
love
with
her
and
begins
to
disobey
Vasi"s
commands.
Sana
just
considers
him
her
'toy-friend".
Things
spiral
out
of
shape
after
an
angry
and
disappointed
Vasi
dismantles
Chitti.
What
follows
as
Chitti
falls
in
wrong
hands
and
multiplies
his
obsession
for
Sana
forms
the
rest
of
the
film.
Seldom
in
Indian
cinema
has
a
film
come
that
has
justified
its
gargantuan
budget
and
managed
to
entertain
you
at
the
same
time.
A
big
bow
to
director
Shankar"s
vision
and
creativity
that
makes
Robot
set
a
new
benchmark
in
filmmaking.
All
those
expecting
a
typical
Rajinikanth
entry
however,
will
be
disappointed
watching
him
being
presented
with
a
subtle
entry.
But
then
he
makes
it
up
for
it
by
delivering
his
best.
As
the
film
gradually
proceeds
towards
the
climax,
the
number
of
Rajinikanth"s
on
screen
multiply
and
continue
to
entertain.
His
conversation
with
a
team
of
mosquitoes
or
his
fights
with
the
goons
in
a
moving
local
train
are
extremely
delightful.
Also,
the
child
birth
sequence
here
is
more
convincingly
done
than
it
was
in
3
idiots.
While
he
is
subtle
as
Dr.
Vasi,
Rajinikanth
has
succeeded
in
pulling
off
the
immensely
difficult
part
of
the
robot
Rajini
by
picking
up
the
perfect
mannerisms
of
a
Robot.
After
turning
villainous,
his
wicked
laughter
is
just
terrific.
Aishwarya"s
character
though
relevant
to
the
plot
doesn"t
have
much
to
do.
But
she
pulls
it
off
well
with
her
dazzling
screen
presence.
She
simply
looks
WOW.
Danny
is
impressive
in
his
short
role.
Picking
up
the
best
technical
talent
across
the
globe
that
has
worked
on
films
such
as
Jurassic
Park,
I
Robot
and
Avatar,
Shankar
has
managed
to
deliver
an
Indian
film
that
can
stand
on
par
technically
with
the
best
of
Hollywood
films
in
this
genre.
The
last
30
minutes
full
of
action
and
plenty
of
jaw
dropping
moments
do
make
you
wish
that
the
film
was
made
in
3D.
The
only
big
sore
point
of
the
film
is
A.R
Rahman"s
utterly
forgettable
music
which
to
some
extent
is
salvaged
by
Shankar"s
innovative
picturisation.
The
film"s
length
is
around
three
hours
and
could
have
been
shorter
by
at
least
10
minutes.
Endhiran
guarantees
super
fun
for
the
entire
family
and
Rajinikanth
re-establishes
the
fact
that
what
no
body
can,
only
Rajini
can!
