Robo/Endhiran - was in news for quite a while before the release of the movie for all kinds of reasons...right from the name of the movie registered by SRK to creative differences between SRK and the movie direcotr Shankar..putting besides all the negativity about the delay in making and post production, this is a movie Indian Cinema will be proud for some time to come.
The lethal combo of Thalaiva (Rajni) as protagonist and antogonist and doll Aish (not in terms of looks anymore but in acting skills) as the female lead, megaphone handled by Shankar, who according to me was over rated as a director for his unnecessary VFXs and expensively shot songs, has raised expectations beyond imagination just before the release. But, the hype slowly disappeared and the movie remained for ever in the hearts of the audience and for Shankar, this one was bang on!!
Rajni's introduction in the movie is probably the most underplayed scene in all of his movies and the credit goes to Shankar for not getting carried away with Rajni's image and sticking to the story line. It was well conceived, scripted, executed and expressed. Through out the movie, though i watched it in tamil, which i barely understand, i was hooked to the movie with no other thought in my mind. The last time i watched a movie with such avidness was 'Transformers', way back in 2007.
The movie was magnanimous, fantastic in conception, intimidating in visuals (never before in Indian Cinema) and perfectly told. All said, there are minor flaws in the direction department which can be casually ignored for there will be mistakes as Shankar is also human and to err is human.
Hats off to Rajni for pulling it off with an ease as fluent as water. Kudos to the team of Robo/Endhiran for their creativity, message and bringing a good movie to the audience. Must watch!!
'Happy Dipawali Folks!!'
Rating - 4.25/5
