ENDHIRAN - ROBOT - ROBO

I probably might be the millionth person on Internet to write something about the hottest, most talked about movie at present... yes. Its Sun pictures kalanidhi maran presents Endhiran starring Superstar Rajnikanth, Aishwarya rai bachan and danny denzongpa, Music by A.R.Rahman and Directed by Shankar.

the movie is basically one of the few sci-fi movies in tamil or indian cinema industry as a whole. Its about a scientist who builds a robot to serve humanity, then improves the robot to feel emotions,which turns out to be bad, rest of the movie is usual hollywood type good vs evil fights in mega budget spectacularity shankar's movies usually have.

So we have all seen many Hollywood movies that showcase the entire world of robots, their goodness and evil malfunctions. what's special about this Endhiran. well, Romance of a robot with human. thats what Indian movies can do differently.. have a duet song for the robot and make it run around trees and fight for the heroine, Indian Masala as you may call it. Not only that, Its the superstar who's done the lead role, A actor of 60 yrs age, still he's got it in him to perform a younger role that too of a robot and scientist, double action if you call it. I guess no one of his age, performs such roles now. (maybe except for stallone and willis in expendables )

The Movie has created a lot of hype in India, mainly due to the marketing strategies of Sun Pictures, who happen to sell even worst movies like Sura to be a big hit. so if endhiran manages to be a decent entertainer, its good enough for it to make Hell lot of money. Imagine, what could happen if the movie was really good. they have already started making money buy selling tickets even for the screening of the movie's theatrical trailer. Rajni's last movie with shankar, Sivaji grossed about Rs.600 crores worldwide, this could very well get them twice or thrice the amount of money than the previous outing.

This week, the Movie has seemed to be creating a lot of hype here in USA too. HBO films have distributed the movie in USA and tickets in all major cities have sold out for the first day inspite of a ticket being priced at $30. which is something really big. I guess Rajni films are meant to be seen everywhere on first day first show, no matter how much the tickets cost.

Even I plan to watch the movie by first day if possible, if not at least by first weekend, Can't Miss a Rajni movie. I've been a big fan of the superstar, since the time in my mom's womb.

Waiting for Endhiran.. Lets see..! definitely will write a review about it soon.
