Boom Boom Robot Da !!!

The 2 years wait is over and finally the mission is accomplished.... Read on Folks... Its Endiran Movie review exclusively by yet another Tamil movies fan.... After watching first half of Endiran, I felt the following, apart from how the movie actually was.

- Shankar can direct a Hollywood movie with Indian elements to spice it up
- ARR can be a trend setter in hollywood adding more songs to movie s
- Aiswarya Rai can be next Angelina jolie or eva mendis in hollywood
- Kalanidi maran can produce an Hollywood movie at his will
- However, Mr. Sivaji Rao Gaekwad is always for one and only Tamil

This is the first time I watched a Rajni movie on the first day and thanks to Sun TV who hyped over the top and raised every ones curiosity to watch it ASAP. I would love to say this is a 100% flawless and a must watch entertainer. Before getting in to a verdict, few points to highlight.



Positives :

This is not a regular Shankar or Rajni movie we watched all this time. Very much evident that Shankar and the crew undergone a huge thought process before shooting the movie. Right from the evolution of Robot to the phase changes has been justified very well logically. I guess there were a huge group of scientists also involved to learn all those Robotics jargons.

I am not a big fan of Ash, but this movie was one of the few movies I was impressed with Ash… not much comment though… Money was spent lavishly for the sets… for first few mins I thought the movie was shot on US or Europe… Danny is perfect for the role but sadly, the scope was limited. I guess he will be our next villain for another 2 vijay movies and heroines dad for vishal/bharat/sreekanth/shyaam movies. : )

Thalaivar, like any other movie was the highlight… It was a bit funny to see him as a scientist but still he did his home work.. but he outclassed every ones efforts as robot… I am not sure where did they played real robot and where was thalaivar… For one millionth time I am proud as thalaivar fan…

The first half : this is unique for Indian cinema. The way the robot was built, the way he justified the mechanism behind every actions, the way it mixes with people, the screen play, the stunts, the dance, the dialogue delivery of robot… I am speechless…. Dot

Let downs :

I never wanted any words under this section but these are my honest feelings on the let down side of the movie

Lengthy second half: I am sure every one will make this complaint. Especially the last 30 mins were
-fed with too much graphics
-totally predictable
- too lengthy and boring

Wasted cast : Santhanam, Karunas, Kalabavan mani, cohin haneefa etc all are talent bunch but totally under utilized. Movie would have still been the same with out them.

Shankar raised every ones expectation from the meaningful master pieces like Anniyan, Sivaji and though the scope of this subject is limited in Endhiran, he made the movie more predictable even to the screenplay level is a major let down….

Sun TV shouldn’t have hyped the movie with over the top ads like audio release, hifi trailers, trailer release functions etc raised the curiosity exponentially and high expectations are always dangerous.

Verdict : I still liked Sivaji than Endiran but 3 cheers for exhibiting the potential of Tamil cinema to world audience. A must watch atleast once (in cinemas only)

Rajini should reconsider limiting his efforts to sci-fi feature films and do some experiments.Rajini fans will say "Enga thalaivar experiment pannar...aana makkal adha accept pannala...so he does what suits him..."... I dont accept this argument.6 out of 10 such films wll fail commercially...

But a personality rajini should take that risk and give some standard quality movies in terms of story-line and script rather than budget.

Time is running away and its high time for him to make some decision on this.

the second half had too many songs.

Srinath said...

Agree.. second half dragged. One other huge positive I liked was Rajini's comic histrionics, like the scene where the robo buys gift as well for Ash. No other hero can match him in comic histrionics.
