The Enthiran- a must watch

Enthiran- Rajnikanth- Ishwarya Rai in Robo dance

I went to watch the new Rajanikanth- Aishwarya rai starrer "Enthiran" with  half mind. The movie had garnered plus four star reviews in all the media, but with the experience of "Kites and Ravan" I was not expecting any thing extra ordinary.

But wow!!!!  this movie  has left me spell bound.

Chitti(Rajnikanth)-Sana(Ishwarya rai)

The Rajani - Shanker magic was beyond all my imaginations, a complete 4-d experience, with  energy and delight oozing out from all directions. Off recent this is the only movie which has really met the expectations and hype created around it, justified its production cost and will remain as a land mark in Indian cinema.

Enthiran is a science fiction movie directed by S Shanker, dubbed in to hindi as 'Robot' and in to telugu as  'Robo'. Music by A R Rahman and cinematography by R  Ratnavelu

Rajnikanth (Dr Vaseegaran)

The plot: Enthiran literally means machine man and hence robot. Vaseegaran (Rajnikanth  ) an intelligent scientist creates an android robot which resembles him. The robo named Chitti (rajni again)which has the powers of 100 men and is super intelligent can do any task instructed to him like a super man. But at heart he remains a machine and hence does not have the feelings and sensitivities of the human beings. Dr vaseegaran tries to get approval for the robo to be used for public and military purpose. but his guide Dr Bora who himself was on a similar mission to create and sell robots to terrorist out fits out of jealousy disappove the move. He proves that with out feelings and sensibilities the robo can cause more damage. So Dr vasee taking up the challenge upgrades Robo to have feelings and sensibilities after which dr Bora approves the robo for public use.

From here starts the trouble for Dr vasee. The new robo with human like feelings and sensibilities falls for Dr Vaseegarans love interest Sana(Ishwarya rai) with whom he was closely interacting. this causes trouble between the scientist and robo which results in robo reaching the wrong hands and creating mayhem of destruction in the city.

 

The thumbs ups: enthiran is visual treat not just for rajni fans but for all the  movie buffs this is a must watch. 

A movie in Science fiction genre is always gaged on the technical perfection, special effects and graphics besides its story. Enthiran wins in all these fronts . It has a thrilling story line that also gives a moral message. A box office winning mixture of comedy, action, drama and romance whipped to the taste of not just kollywood but to national and international audience.

 The cast and acting excellent. Rajni's both the roles are extremely well crafted and executed . The mannerisms of chitti in both its avatars as positive minded and as destructive minded are awesome. Aishwarya Rai  looks marvelous.  Makeups an costumes needs a special mention .The cinematography especially in the song sequences and the climax stands out .

  It is the technical front which places Enthiran above any other Indian movie produced so far in this genre. The special effects are the"never seen before kind" . The creation of robots to the final climax where hundreds of chitti look a like robots assemble in various patterns to cause destruction is the best part of the movie. The special effects -graphics are amazing and meets or is better than the holly wood standards.

Without doubt this high budget movie is trend setter and depicts the coming of new Indian cinema which can give competition to any of the best hollwood movies this genre.
