Director Shankar has been conceptualizing certain innovative themes are consistently adhered towards technological arenas. Almost all his films have won incredible laurels for such excelling panoramas. Well, this film has touched the greatest peaks of visual arenas. Of course, the film’s storyline is far beyond the preexisting boundaries. Regrettably, director Shankar has forgot for whom the film is targeted at.
Well, let’s take for instance the final shot, where the storyline shifts to 2023 as kid turns back at the ‘Robot’ kept as specimen in a scientific museum. It’s indirectly implying that youngsters would turn back and watch this film. Fine, if the present age audiences are keen on turning back, it’s something they had missed out and not something that would happen in mere future. Maybe, the technical advancements and growth would be incredulously grandiloquent during that point of time in reality.
We bring you an exclusive look on Rajnikanth’s ‘Enthiran’.
Location – Chennai 2010
Mission – creating a andro-humanoid robot – Chitti
Purpose – to help the society
Development time – 10 years
Configurations – speed one terra Hz, memory one zeta byte, processor Pentium ultra core millennia V2, FHP 450 motor from Hirata, Japan.
Special Features – A human who is not born but is created. He can dance, sing, fight, is water and fire resistant. He can do all that a human can and more. He feeds on electricity. He takes instructions literally. Where a human can lie to save himself this andro-humanoid robot Chitti cannot lie.
Trouble shooting – Where he has a razor sharp memory and can memorize an entire telephone directory by just running through the pages, he cannot understand human emotions. Dr. Vasi upgrades Chitti’s processor and simulates human emotions without realizing the repercussions. Chitti gets transformed. He can now feel, and the first feeling that he discovers is Love.
Will this love come in the way of Dr. Vasi’s purpose of creating Chitti? Will Dr. Vasi’s own creation destroy him?
First things first, Shankar has absolutely made it a point of presenting Rajnikanth in a different manner. For illustration, there is nothing such big opening for the Superstar as it happens in almost all his movies. There are no punch dialogues and usual Rajnikanth traits. Perhaps, this could be literally disappointing for the diehard fans of Superstar, who have been curiously awaiting the film’s release for past 3 years. Rajnikanth’s performance is good on throughout the show as his dual role emblazons the screens. Aishwarya Rai keeps herself adhered to a good role while Danny Denzongpa is colossal.
There are few new things, which may or may not be the negative traits.
First you may presume this film to be a combat between Superstar Rajnikanth and Bollywood actor Danny Denzongpa is colossal. Rests of the actors have done their best while Santhanam is a big letdown.
Technically, the music goes more international and none of the tracks have been composed for the Tamil audiences’ tastes. Overpowering western techno-genres keeps them unexcited. Cinematography by Rathinavelu is good with eye-catching visuals and Anthony on editing has done a nice job.
On the whole, ‘Enthiran’ lacks something that fans of Rajnikanth had pondered upon. The longer duration of 3hrs with the climax portion vividly replicated from Hollywood movie like ‘Spider Man’, ‘Terminator’, ‘Transformers’ and so on.
Shankar should have modified the script according to the tastes of contemporary audiences. As of now, the film becomes an average fare, which may successfully yield best results for the producers.
Verdict: Good one.
