Enthiran aka Endhiran Review

It was the director Shankar’s 10 yrs dream come true. For us…..??

For the last 2 years we have been waiting for this release... Finally the day has come and bookings were opened. I booked for this movie 15 days before its release.. yet got tickets for the show after 3 days of the release date.Such was the hype and mad rush for this film. Meanwhile, everybody were aware of the hype created for the movie... As a ordinary fan of movies, me too went to the movie with some expectations in my mind viz. Shankar + Rajni + Rahman + Aishwarya (all of them are my favorites)... As i never miss movies from title, and also this is a special movie, I went to the theater an 1 hour before the show commences to be on the safer side...

Atlast I was able to enter the hall and got my seat and got settled... As everybody knew about the its story it was my expectation to see the work of high-budget and and the heroics of Rajni...

Flim started... First song in background when title scrolled... Alas, i thought they wasted a song... Titles were almost like they show in tv promos... very simple fonts with no effects...

In on the first shot of the film, they showed the lab and Rajni without any big intro (dont know how it satisfied his fans)...Then Aishhh (who said Aishwaraya has aged???)... On making the robo, thus the first song at thebackground ended...

I also read reviews in papers before I went to watch the movie and they had praised for everything except Rahman.. I was shocked since the songs were too good to hear...

Later on seeing the movie, i realized its true since the background score was not of the Rahman’s masterpiece or his normal score... In most of the scenes, it was very silent... Also the screenplay was the , connection of different scenes and there was no liveliness in its moving...

After the making of the robot, the usual things with robo like cooking, its speed, fight sequence, memorising, reading, whatever you expect of a robot were all shown with no different. This continues on and on till interval.. During the course of the movie i thought whether I’m sitting for a documentary flim with no life... Santhanam and Karunas were utter waste and they were used to just play with the robot and not for their unique jokes... All my expectations got broken within the first half and thought what still they were going to show after interval....

Being a SHANKAR movie, what are first things that will normally come to your mind??? Song Visuals...

But in this movie songs visuals can be said as exceptional... I thought as its a robo movie, the sets will be too good with hi-fi effects, instead the sets used in songs are not that much attractive and also the robots used were like toys, esspecially in Arima songs, the dog robo was like a toy and for the whole song i just laughed noticing the backdrop art with the set...Also the outdoor locations for songs were not that much attractive and good. But in TV promos were said that they went to places r crossing rivers, forests.. but who want those stories??? It’s the onscreen look which matters.!!

Then the second half commences.. Really the flim’s best part got started after the villain Rajni came... most of the scenes resembled of flims... The baby birth scene, this was so beautifully showed in 3 idiots flim, even you will come to the seat edge on the baby birth.. but here, its just nothing...

Search for the real Rajni in 100 robos remembered me of the flim i-robot.. even the white robo resembles the face of Sonny in i-robot... Visual effects with 100 Rajnis, oh my god!!!

Usually when a special effects team is provided to Shankar he will use it to the very basic level.. the effects showed here were like CWG march-past parade... For this crores eaten up???

If this would have handed to the director Rama Narayanan, he could have used the effects to the nest with a limited budget... But a few like 100 rifle shot, ball roll shot, snake are very good to see... Rahman’s background score were too good in those sequences...Rahman in this flim was only good for the audio songs..


Finally what to say??? Not the fault of the cast, its the fault of ...

Whatever the comments were written, and the hype created and the bad reviews mentioned , everyone will watch this movie atleast once, because of the notion its a RAJNI’s movie ...

Also as everybody says good good good, the same people are even changing their mind and saying "Ya its good" because they think if we say anything against it, , others might label them as people of no taste ...but the Truth is always the Truth..
