For years, it wasn’t just for Shankar, but for his fans as well, who had been curiously looking upon his dream project ‘Enthiran’. Nearly before 10 years, Kamal Haasan and Preity Zinta were supposed to be the part of this film later following Shankar approaching Shah Rukh Khan in the Hindi make. At last, the expectations went higher and higher as the film was to be made with Superstar Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
The biggest brands – Superstar, Aishwarya Rai, A.R. Rahman, Shankar, Sun Pictures was more than enough to sell the product and finally the big day arrives in a much grander way.
So, how does the film work out? Does it live up to our expectations?
Definitely, it exceeds our expectations as this is something far beyond brilliance in the career of everyone in this film. For sure, this will be the greatest milestone for Shankar, Superstar Rajnikanth, A.R. Rahman and other technicians. The film doesn’t boast of usual Rajnikanth stuffs as there are no introduction songs with group dancers and grand music.
Rajnikanth is shown in a simple way as Dr Vaseegaran busy working on a project of launching a new humanoid Robot… After days and months of backbreaking research and hard work, a new robot comes into existence. It is a multi-faceted Robot ‘Chitti’ (again played by Rajnikanth) that looks identical as Vaseegaran. The Robot becomes the heartthrob of all young gals and hero for guys, savior for the needy ones and indeed makes headlines. The Robot is to be examined through an association of senior scientists (one of them is Danny Denzongpa, Dr. Vaseegaran’s mentor). It gets rejected to be utilized for various major developmental projects that includes military defense, because it lacks the sense of cognizance of differentiating the good from bad and moreover, the ‘emotions’.
Instantly, Dr. Vaseegaran starts working on the ‘emotional quotients’ and finally implants the program that instigates the emotions in Robot.
But the mission is unaccomplished as the speculative pop as Robot starts inheriting the traits of human emotions. Apparently, Robot falls in love with Dr. Vaseegaran’s girlfriend Sana (Aishwarya Rai).
Hats off to director Shankar as he tries elevating the standard of Tamil cinema with ‘Enthiran’…. Not alone because of technical aspects, but he has completely changed his narrative style. Say for instance, the hero introduction of Rajnikanth is same as a Hollywood film. But the introduction scene of ‘Chitti Robot’ wins the claps and whistles. The way he dances for the Birthday Party song along with Aishwarya Rai is mind-boggling and his fight sequences in train is awesome. He gets awestricken with his overpowering performance during second half, especially the last 30mins is terrific. Wow! This man looks so invigorated and enthusiastic. The dialogue he utters during the climax sequence of blaming human race is fantabulous. Aishwarya Rai looks beautiful than before and her dancing in ‘Irumbile’ is tremendous. Danny Denzongpa as the villain does justice to his role, but we can term his characterization as to be a catalyst rather than a villain. Santhanam and Karunaas haven’t got much to do with the film.
Musical score by A.R. Rahman is fantastic and the background score during last 30mins is over-the-top and cinematography by Rathinavelu is decorous.
On the whole, ‘Enthiran’ is a must watch movie that has every element of entertainment and of course, the newly tailored experience for the universal fans. This is the first sci-fi thriller in the history of Indian Cinema and we are sure there wouldn’t be any other movie such grander as this one. It’s a must watch movie for 6yrs old kid to 80yrs old persons.
