Endhiran - The Robot

The most anticipated movie "Endhiran" released in 4000 screens world-wide is rocking to the core. The most expected film received much of hypes right from the day of the audio release function which took place in a rich manner at Putrajaya International Convention Center, Malaysia. Like adding fuel to it, Sun Pictures is advertising the film through its media and press partners all over the day. India's most expensive film which is to the World class standard is really superb. It is a bookmark for Shankar's talent and creativity, though some of the scenes remind you of some hollyWood movies like Terminator. The movie involves all the big names in all the aspects other than the hero Rajnikanth and heroine AishwaryaRai Bhachan. AR Rahman's music is spellbound and in these past two months one could have seen that almost everyone were humming the song every now and then. Vairamuthu and his son have made hard works in searching for the hi-tech and sci-tech words. For instance, lines like " neutron electron un neela kannil", "silicon singam", " en neela pallale(bluetooth) unnodu siripen" will make your mouth say an instantaneous "awesome". Danny Denzongpa is a perfect choice to play the villain role and his face is really very apt, giving the look of a terrific scientist and a scientific terrorist. The scenes in the songs sequences and the shots made at the Brazilian Desert and those at Machu Picchu are good evidence to guess that this is a Shankar film.

Coming to the plot, the story starts with the Scientist Vaseegaran(Rajnikanth) building his robot(chitti). He brings it to his residence and the story proceeds saying what a robo can do for a man with some added comedies by Santhanam and Karunas in the middle. Sana's(Aishwarya Rai) introduction comes in the meantime. The robo does many help to Sana including helping her in writing her exams, as a result they become good friends. Vaseegaran takes Chitti to a test and demonstrates its talent to the panel members and assures them that his creation will stand as a one man army in the Nation's border. While all the members of the crew are about to approve the robo, Scientist Bohra(Danny) who is also Vaseegaran's professor, rejects it citing the reason that the robo might kill its own colleagues too if it were given ambigious instructions. He points out that it is just a programable machine devoid of any human feelings. Evenyually the jealous scientist had revenge against his student.

Vaseegaran starts working in injecting human feelings to Chitti by giving proper training and programs it for speech recognition and expression detection qualities. The robot is a grand success and is made adaptable and recognizable for anger, happiness, love etc. Due to this, the machine falls in love with Sana and gradually stats disobeying its master. Seeing on these Vaseegaran becomes angry and uncontrollable. He dismantles the robot and throws it in the garbage. Meanwhile, Bohra comes to know all these incidents, he goes to the corporation garbage collection center, finds the dismantled robo, programs it and gives it some additional destructive instructions through a chip. He then plans to exchange it with an overseas terrorist gang for good cash. While these things were going on the reprogrammed robot, starts developing more robots of its kind and buids its own kingdom. It kills Bohra and brings Sana to his kingdom from the Wedding hall where she was sitting ready with Vaseegaran for the ceremonies to go on. The story then goes on telling how destructive the machine is, all what are the ill consequences Vaseegaran faces and how he overcomes them and saves the people.

It is really a good ficiton, a rare and first of its kind in kollywood, gives you the feeling of seeing a HollyWood movie. We have already seen these kinds of stuffs in HollyWood where the supernatural imaginary characters invade the mertos like NewYork or Washington. Whereas here you will enjoy seeing the invasion of chennai by the robot especially the fight scenes at the kathipara Grade separator, IT corridor and the electric trains. The extraordinary scenes and some unrealistic stuffs handled by Shankar are also acceptable since they are associated with an artificial intelligence and not with a natural one. Hence cent percent satisfaction and entertainment is assured for the audience.
