Enthiran - An Indian movie for the whole world

There is only one movie in the history of Indian cinema that created over-whelming hype from the day of its story’s inception. That is none other than ‘Enthiran’. The Rajnikant factor added more mileage to the project. But the real hero is the one and only director Shankar. Our audience expected so much and Shankar with the support of a mammoth and swanky crew delivered more than what we all expected. ‘Excellent’ is what I have to say about Enthiran in one word.

Storyline

Vaseegaran (Rajnikant) is a robotics engineer, who is working on a human-robot for the last 10 years and he creates it. The Robot has been named as Chitti (Rajnikant). Chitti is a genius that he has the brilliance of 100 men and he understands everything. Chitti is a real super-hero. But Vasi never programs Chitti with human feelings. Bohra (Danny Denzogpa) is the teacher and chief of Vasi, who is also researching on Robotics and trying to develop a new Robo genesis to sell it for destructive uses. Bohra asks Vasi to handover Chitti to him. But Vasi reveals that he would handover Chitti only to the Army. Vasi’s girlfriend Sana(Aishwarya Rai Bachchan)  likes Chitti. Chitti helps Sana whenever she needs help. Vasi tries to program Chitti with more emotions and feelings. Chitti starts to absorb the human emotions and Chitti starts to love Sana. Vasi destroys Chitti but Bohra reinstates Chitti and adds a red-chip to it for adding destructive powers to Chitti.

The movie is a visual experience that only watching the movie gives you the complete satisfaction. A R Rahman did some excellent re-recording work for enhancing the mood that has been created by the technicians. The graphic designing, special effects, action sequences, cinematography and production designing are world-class. ‘Enthiran’ is an Indian movie for the world audience. The climax action sequences are worth watching 2-3 times.

The Robo Rajni is the real star of the movie. Rajnikant has got multi-level performance opportunity as Robo. He is doing comedy, Villainous role and also as the hero. The scientist Rajnikant is so simple and totally different from his earlier movies. He is so human, he has his limitations and he only believes in his intelligence. Special congrats to Shankar for designing Vasi’s character such simple. Aishwarya Rai is looking young and beautiful. The movie will rewrite every possible box-office history inside and outside India.
