BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

sammy To be honest this is the second review I am penning down for this movie. The first one was deleted by IMDb after another user reported abuse . The claims I had made in hat review regarding the mental health of those admired the movie thus stand vindicated.However, I have waited for a good 5 years before again logging in to pen down my views on this movie or as we may call it a freak show.The focal point in the movie is a love affair, something which our movies haven't been able to cut lose , may be for the dearth of ideas and imagination.The only interesting parts of the movie are the action sequences featuring the Robot i.e. if you nurse realistic expectations about the VFX or conversely if you have a satirical disposition .For the thinking man the movie presents 3 hours of ordeal and only the very brave or those on sedatives can sit through the movie. In 2010 I couldn't sit beyond half time and managed to watch the movie in bits and parts when it was subsequently telecast on TV.Do look out for a scene whee mosquitoes are shown talking among themselves conspiring to bite and suck some blood out of Aishwarya's body. That scene sums up the artistic integrity of the movie in question.

robotbling Endhiran (The Robot) is the much-touted Indian sci-fi extravaganza that debuted last year. If you've seen the trailer, you'll have a pretty good idea what you're getting into. A roboticist builds a lifelike robot and begins teaching him how to become human. The scenes practically write themselves, but they're overpowered by frequent song and dance numbers that interrupt the flow of the movie. These are mildly entertaining at first for their sheer novelty, but by the fourth number I started looking at my watch.If not for these distractions, Endhiran would fit right in with Hollywood's blockbusters. It certainly regurgitates enough gags from them, with a particular fondness for The Matrix and Terminator films (Woo-Ping Yuen was hired to choreograph the stunts, so it's not too surprising). Naming the origins of its low-rent scenes ahead of your friends might make for an interesting drinking game, but the lack of imagination is disappointing. It does try to put its own spin on familiar ideas, but is most successful when it pits man vs machine for the love of a woman. But it takes far too long to build up to that, and the fun action sequences are fleeting.At nearly three hours long, some cuts here and there would be appreciated. There's a disproportionate number of scenes with questionable value (ones with talking mosquitoes, and another where a woman gives birth come to mind), and they're not always entertaining for the right reasons. I wouldn't say that Endhiran is so bad that it's only worth watching just for laughs, but it comes pretty darn close.In the end, this is a tough one to recommend due to its taxing length and general stupidity, never mind the largely unwelcome Bollywood-style numbers (Endhiran isn't considered a true Bollywood film because it was filmed in Chennai in Tamil). But the action scenes, with their cartoon physics and utter disregard for realism, are pretty hilarious. The grand finale, in which hundreds of humanoid robots band together like modular parts to form gigantic snakes, drills, and other stuff might be enough to sway this one into the "must see" category, if you're in the mood for something totally crazy. Just be prepared to wade through a whole lot of cheese to get there.

Saad Khan Endhiran – ROBOT – ( A ) Robot is true entertainer, with wild action sequences and high quality graphics. The special effects of the movie are comparable to Hollywood movies. Rajnikanth is the man who made it so enjoyable with his performance. The difference of performances between engineer Rajnikanth and Robo before and after interval is spectacular. No one can imagine that it's the same person. Aishwarya Rai looked stunning in this movie; usually in commercial movies she doesn't look as stunning as to traditional movies. But this time in every frame and shot she leaves her beauty and performance mark. The director S.Shanker gave an amazing direction and A.R.Rahman's score is splendid as always. Overall, A complete package of fun, drama, action and entertainment.

TheJuck You remember a few years ago? There was that tragically bad South Korean film about dragons? What was it? Dragon Wars? And IMDb was filled with pathetic Koreans trying to hype the movie because it was the best their hideous film industry could come up with? yet it was still utter garbage? You remember that? Well this movie is just the same,, with Curry on top.Like all bollywood movies, ever actor over 30 has had one vindaloo too- many,,, I mean really,,, are there any males between 30 and 50 in India who aren't all tubby and sweaty?Well yes the special effects are a step above what a retarded penguin with a 1992 copy of 3D Studio could cobble together,,, marginally,,, and there's one super hot babe with more 'I'm White' makeup than Michael Jackson,,, but,, you know what,,, I can't even make excuses for this total abortion of a movie.Like seemingly all Indian movies, there's a couple of dance numbers thrown in? Why? Please someone tell me why they always have to have a bit of a dance,, regardless of what's going on in the movie?Download the torrent for a giggle. If you pay more than a buck to see this,, you were taken.
