Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Simply Perfect

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Enthiran is about a scientist who constructs a robot for military purposes but then complications get in the way. Clocking in about three hours you expect more of a deeper story but no this movie just contains a lot of filler. Namely the unnecessary singing. There had to of been 6-7 songs which is about 30 minutes of the movie. That is just ridiculous and some didn't even match the story. If this film was less than two hours I might have enjoyed it more, as the overall experience wasn't worth the time commitment.Other negatives I came across was definitely the acting quality for starters. It felt over the top or soap opera quality which is really annoying to hear. The CGI was laughable at times. The acting and CGI reminded me of the 1999 film Inspector Gadget. Except this movie appeared to be a serious film while Inspector Gadget was a cheesy kids movie but the similarities are too glaring to ignore.The only real positive I found was some of the action sequences and the overall creativeness of those scenes. They were fast paced and at times strange. Strange being like Jim Carrey's The Mask strange. These are the kinds of things I love to see in B action movie scenes the randomness as at least I can get a laugh out of the movie.Currently this film sits at a 7.1 and is rated in the top 250 for Indian movies. I don't know if I am just missing something or what but this movie just really failed to deliver in my eyes.

I have nothing much to say except that Rajini and Shankar have presented one of the best Science fiction movies of all time. There is logic,masala,drama,action,emotion,blood,smile and everything you and I want. In simple words, it's truly entertaining.Rajini sir has proved that science fiction in India does not mean only wires or robots,but also emotions with entertainment,and that too in Indian style, which everyone likes. This is what makes the film work. Really,Shankar has used the script in a such a way that all other elements work in good coordination. The action,music,VFX,screenplay,script and good dose of commercial elements makes this movie truly entertaining at its best. It had once again proved that Rajini is unbeatable.On the whole, Endhiran is a sure shot entertainer that is for everyone and deserves a watch,not just one but many times,whether you are interested in Science fiction movies or not. Go,watch it and be entertained!!!!!!

Arguably Enthiran has many similarities to "I, Robot". With that said, Shankar could have chosen any young lead other than South Superstar Rajini Kanth. It's painful to watch when a respected and admired actor is portrayed as a scientist with weird appearance and a clown robot which does gimmicks. Time and time again, it's proved that a movie with boat load of bloat CGI won't be a massive hit unless it's accompanied by a good plot, captivating screenplay and apt visualization. In Enthiran, Shankar failed to realize where he could infuse CGI and where he couldn't. Result is chaotic! Aishwarya Rai is misused again. It's clearly evident that a good amount of research went in to the movie. There's a lot of cheapness to the richness in this movie. A rape attempt on Aishwarya?

I had not seen any Indian movies but when I saw this recommended in the news paper I thought it might be something interesting so gave it a go. I must say it was different; I knew to expect some song and dance numbers but assumed when they occurred it would be like a Hollywood musical where characters broke into song but here they didn't just sing they were in totally new surroundings and costumes! The story was easy enough to follow; Dr. Vaseegaran creates a robot, later named Chitti, in his own image which he intends to give to the Indian army to help defend his country. The problem is his rival Dr. Bohra points out a flaw; Chitti has no emotions and no sense of right and wrong so will do whatever ordered. Vaseegaran sets about giving Chitti emotions but this only makes matters more complicated as his creation falls in love with his beautiful girlfriend Sana! At this point Vaseegaran destroys his creation and disposes of it at the city dump; he hadn't however anticipated that Bohra would fix Chitti and give him the sort of upgrades that would turn him into a psychotic killing machine... that was still obsessively in love with Sana. If Vaseegaran is to save Sana he must defeat Chitti and the army of duplicates he has created! It is hard to assign his film into any one genre; it is obviously science fiction, showing obvious influences from films like 'The Terminator' and 'The Matrix'; there are also several musical interludes, some of which are fairly high camp, some fine comic moments and even a romance thrown in for good measure! Actor Rajnikanth (credited as Superstar Rajni!!!) does a fine job in the duel roles of Vaseegaran and Chitti; frequently he goes a bit over the top but that is just what the film demanded. Co-star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is also good as his Sana, I cane see why even a robot would find her attractive! Danny Denzongpa, who plays antagonist Dr. Bohra is great in his part although sadly it isn't as big as it could have been due to 'Evil Chitti' taking over as the main villain. The film is packed with action; most of it looks great although it is let down by poor special effects in places; the various forms of multiple Chittis looked great but the helicopters they attacked looked like something out of a slightly dated video game which was a pity. The comedy varies from the slapstick to the totally surreal; the scene where Chitti has a conversation with a swarm of mosquitoes is one of the strangest I've seen in any film... including those where characters are meant to have take large quantities of weapons grade hallucinogens! Despite these flaws or perhaps because of them I enjoyed this and would recommend it to people wanting something a little different from standard western fare... I'll have to watch more Indian films to find out how different it is from those though!
