Place:Cinemax ,Sion,Mumbai (2.45 pm)
It is incredible and at the same time shameful of a Hrithik fan to have never seen any of his movie(or any movie for that matter) on the first Friday itself.But Endhiran was a wait I just could not resist.The promos had been promising,the music was catchy but let me tell you the promos are just 10-20% of what this experience is really about!
I cannot think of any one else but the highly talented and imaginative Shankar who could make Endhiran such a cinematic experience.That Shankar is an engineer is reinforced in the way he delineates his passion for science and the gadget-world.It demands only and only Shankar who could materialise his imagination in the way he does and knows how to use every penny to optimal effect.
In his latest offering,Endhiran, Shankar takes you on one hell of a rollercoaster ride of the Sci-fi world.The first scene starts with a scientist named Vaseegaran(Rajini) who has been working on a robot for 10 years while trying to make him walk,talk and look like him.The robot ,like any programmed machine,follows just about anything that is fed into it.(It introduces itself everytime by specifying its configuration! :)) ).So it can dance like MJ,fight like Tony Jaa,it can speak any language(even talk to mosquitos!),can cook,can handle the most complicated pregnancy case but alas it cannot think and feel like humans which fails it in an important test.So Vaseegaran loads a “software hormone” into it,makes it read books on human perception,feelings,thinking,gets him acquainted with human births and deaths and the humanoid is ready in all its elements.
Just when everything seems working,Chitti,the robot develops an infatuation with Vaseegaran’s GF Sana(Ash,gorgeous than ever!).A cold war develops between the two ultimately resulting in the creator destroying his own creation.
Danny,rajini’s boss,who has been eyeing his junior’s envious creation all this while, finds Chitti’s shattered parts in the dump and reassembles and reprogrammmes it as the destructor.
As a result,the clash between the creator and his ‘evil’ creation culminates in a series of spectacular action scenes and never-seen-before effects.
Two standout scenes for me are 1)Chitti’s fight scene in Local train &
2)Almost whole of second half(primarily latter half of it) with the evil-bot replicating itself into a gargantuan sphere, rod, wall,ground-driller,an anaconda and even a Giant!
This of course is an unabashed Rajini vehicle as the superstar shines as the dexteruos scientist,as the invincible but innocent Chitti and most impressive as the evil-bot.His antics will crack you up surely!
Ash fits her role perfectly, looks gorgeous than ever and one cannot take eyes off her in the songs even when the charismatic Rajini is in the same frame.
Danny and the rest of the cast have done well.
Screenplay is one of the movies biggest strength.Background music especially “O naye Insaan” is haunting and is likely to stay with you after you leave.
Normally,It doesn’t take me more than 10 minutes to smell which way a movie is going to go.The first half is so gripping, you cannot even move your neck while the second half is full on action.
Verdict - You will miss something very spectacular if you miss Endhiran.Watch it at any cost!
