Yet again two Diwalis this year. May be the real Diwali will not be as much as cheering and enthusiastic. The long long awatied movie Endhiran (the Robot) has hit the screens and it is breaking all Indian Box office Records one by one. Collected over Rs.200 Crores before the release and made Rs.117 C in the first week of its release.
PLOT :
Vaseegaran ,a Robot scientist works on a creation of an Andro humanoid Chitti which is his ten years dream. He along with his assisstants creates it successfully injecting with all languages of world, cooking, knowledge of music,dance, fights etc. Sana his girlfriend is greatly attracted by it. She calls Chitti as her toy-friend.
Vasee maks him to move with the world for testing. He submits him for AIRD approval to dedicate it to Indian Army. Dr.Bohra, the professor of Vasee is jealous of his student's creation. Being the head of the AIRD team he does not approves it saying it cannot be able to discriminate good & bad and it can be a threat to society. Vasee tries to create emotions in him and suceeds. But it turns against him and starts to love his creator's girl friend. Vasee gets angry and he destoys Chitti. Dr.Bohra re-mantles Chitti and injects with destruction program "Red Chip". During Vasee-Sana's wedding Chitti kidnaps Sana and takes her to its place. It destroy's all the policemen who come in its way. Vasee finally manages rescue his lover and to bring back control of Chitti.
The movie is tried in Hollywood way of film making. The best scenes which according to me are:
- Chitti's magentic power of grabbing the weapons from the loud speaker mafias and posing as Badra Kali Amman, where all ladies start to feel excited to see it
- Chitti helping Sana in her final exam by projecting the book in her place.
- Chitti pointing out Vasee as his almighty when he was told Almighty is the one who creates.
- Chitti performing delivery of a complicated case where doctors lost hope
- Chitti trying to feel the love when Sana kisses him
- Feelings of Chitti when Sana denies of his love as he is not a human but only a humanoid
- Rising as a destructive Robot and manging to kill al policemen by taking forms of Sphere, pyramid, snake etc.
- Finally dismantling itself due to the presaure posed by government on it creator
The last few minutes are very nice.
Many technical terms used are also made understadable for non-technical people.
CHARACTER SKETCH:
RAJNIKANTH as Vaseegaran: Vasee is portrayed as normal man only with the knowledge of Computers. He is like an ordinary person. When a drunkard tries to misbehave to his lover he tries to make her escape rather than to resist. This is a different of portrayal of Rajnikanth. He is shown as a practical individual. Vasee is a common man like the real practical men 
The usual Rajnikanth styles are not portrayed mostly. No punch dialogues are spoken, no special style (one like salute of Padayappa, Lighting Cigar with gun etc)His another face is portrayed in this movie
AISHWARYA as Sana: Though Sana is important character of movie, Aishwarya is not used more. But she can be justified for Sana who made a Robot to get into love. Ash is a good choice as she is the eldermost beautiful heroine of age 36 who can be a correct pair for Rajnikanth's age of 60
SANTHANAM AND KARUNAS : No scope for them after interval. But they did a good job with that little scope
DANNY DENZONGPA : As Dr.Bohra, he plays vital role of polluting Chitti against Vasee. But his character is also not utilised much.
OTHER ASPECTS :
Songs : Though the songs are nice, the interuption of them is very annoying. The duet of Vasee-Sana is not much neccessary as duet of Chitti-Sana. Even Arima Arima is enough and not Irumbile Or idhyam. But it is wanted for Indian audiences. The highlights of Chitti shown in song Boom Boom Robo da is nice. Comedies : Rajnikanth is itself enough for doing comedy like saying Naan innikku leavu (I am on leave today) to his boss, reading love poems in front of army generals during the test, Ranguski mosqutio scene etc
Sentiments : The dismantling of itself at the end and saying "Kadhal nna nattu boltu kalandhirumnnu solluvaanga. Itho kalandiricchu" (When love comes, men will get their nuts and bolts removed and here it is for me too.) ,begging for love of Sana despite being a Robot and feeling for not getting it. Begging for life from his creator etc.
Action : Very very fierce actions when fighting for Sana in the train, then in the climax etc. CG has made it intersting
The end scene where kids visitng museum after 20 years of Chitti's dismantle where he is kept for display is the sequence taken from "Meendum Jeeno" novel of Sujatha. Like how Jeeno gets de-activated and finally put in museum for public.
Endhiran is a good treat for Diwali. Threat to Sharukh khan's Ra one movie. SRK must have felt for missing this movie. Rajni rocks even in this age.
This is very different from Rajni usual flicks. It is a Shankar movie rather Rajni's. Shankar used rather saying squeezed him for the pay he is getting.
Good entertainer
