Rajinikanth’s new movie Endhiran directed by shankar, is a definite superhit but a movie with such a big budget and high level technicians could have done better. The graphics is really good for tamil cinema but I guess an overdose of anything is bad. Before going into details on this movie I will say this, if you’re a true rajinikanth fan you will love it and you will enjoy every thing that comes on screen, if you’re the kind who goes "it’s tamil cinema that’s how it is" then you will like it too but if you are a general movie fan who likes to watch all kinds of movies this one will fall flat as it really had the chance to be so much better.
Synopsis: Dr. Vaseengaran aka Vasi (Rajinikanth) builds a robot Chitti (Rajinikanth) which looks like him and is programmed to help humans and his basic idea was to donate his creation to the military and stop the loss of human lives. Chitti is programmed to know all languages and arts forms known to man, he can cook, dance and fight to protect people on requirement. When Dr. Vasi tries to get it Patented and certified Dr. Bohra ( Danny Denzongpa) manages to make the robot to almost stab Dr. Vasi and hence denying the patent, following a series of unfortunate events Dr. Vasi decides to give the robot human emotions so that it can decide between right and wrong but this in turn makes the robot to fall in love with Dr. Vasi’s Fiancé Sana ( Aishwarya Rai) and it wantedly fails an evaluation of the Indian army this causes Dr. Vasi to get angry and chops Chiti to pieces and throws him into the scrap. The movie goes further on how Chiti reconstructs himself and becomes bad on the addition of a red chip into his system by Dr. Bohra and then attempths to kill Dr. Vasi and get Sana for himself, will the Evil Chiti succeed or will Dr. Vasi be able to save the day I don’t want to spoil the movie for the rest of you so watch the movie to know what happens next.
The Good - Rajini does not have any of his usual entry song sequence. The Differentiation in the three different characters played by Rajini is clear and has been differentiated very well. The graphic sequences is really cool I must say that its one the best for an Indian movie till date, Rajini is really cool in the negative shade. The part were Rajini pulls all the iron objects towards him and stands like Kali is totally cool.
The Bad - The song sequences in between were really annoying for a sci fi movie. I did mention the graphics was good in this movie but in certain places it was overdone and tends to get annoying (for eg. the formation sequence) certain sequences tend to defy logic completely (for eg. the car chase sequence where the evil chitty abducts sana and the cops chasing them sequence), the problem is not that it defies logic, The real problem is that there is not even an attempt in certain places to make it look real.
The Ugly - The Sequence where chitti talks to the mosquito is all weird considering the fact that chitty is programmed all the languages in the world but when was he programmed mosquito language and its not a cartoon flick where animals talk and stuff, places like this its like as if the director seems to have added scenes without logic thinking the audience will accept anything put forward at them. Another place which I find weird is the part where chitti is fighting with all the rogues and villains but no body is surprised of his super human abilities etc, its not like a robot is a common thing amongst us.
Overall the movie will be a hit with the local audience but sadly the director had the opportunity and the money to make a movie which could have reached out to a wider audience. Rajini has delivered once again well am sure this movie would not have got the same pull if another actor had acted in it. Wish the song sequences were cut on screen and the director had used even that money on the Graphics.Over all every hardcore Rajini fan will love this movie to the core and for the rest i think its worth watching once at least for the graphics.
couldn't agree more. nicely written.
