Enthiran movie review




This movie redefines Tamil commercial cinema. DIRECTOR  SHANKAR   implants seed in the minds of people who like to take leadership & inspire in giving the world original inventions from the east 

Sujatha who wrote the SCI –FICTION novel “En Iniya Iyanthira” inspired from a story named “BI CENTENNIAL MAN” written by ISSAC ASIMOV(well pronounced in the song BOOM BOOM DA….ROBO DA), published in 1975.

 Enthiran is an excitement, entertainment & huge dream amounting from SHANKAR.

SHANKAR beefs up his arsenal with SUPERSTAR, late Sujatha, Yuen Woo Ping (action sequence for films like Matrix… along with peter Hein), Stan Winston Studios (visual effects for films like Ironman, Terminator....), Rathnavelu (cinematographer who is responsible for lighting and effects), Industrial Light & Magic (special effects for films like Avatar, Star Wars, and Titanic) along with Oscar winners AR Rahman(music composer) & Rasool pukutty…

SUPERSTAR RAJNIKANTH ….. An unstoppable force to reckon with, magnetizes the Tamil audiences spread across the length and breadth of the geographical boundaries

STORY:
Scientist Vaseegaran creates Chitti, a humanoid robot. Vaseegaran needs approval from scientist committee to make more like chitti that can be inducted into the army. Due to certain flaws in Chitti  (not able to distinguish b/w right and wrong, good and bad ) needed in a warfare. Vaseegaran’s   trusted guide and advisor Professor Bohra, refuses to give clearance and  is jealous of his students inventions and terms chitti as stupid .

Vaseegran decides to modify his creation and gives him free will through AI (Artificial Intelligence) that will emote chitti which later becomes a disaster to the creator himself, as chitti begins to love Sana- Vaseegran’s love interest.

Vaseegran destroys chitti and throws him into trash barrel, later found by Professor Bohra and uses him for his money making business in turn guarantees him to reach to Sana.

Professor implants a red chip in Chitti, which will make him nothing less than an evil minded sinister.

Chitty turns into a Frankenstein(3rd Rajnikanth in the movie), kidnaps Sana, kills Bohra and later starts a revolution. Creates similar humanoids which he uses to protect himself and Sana from others and in particular Vaseegaran 

Vaseegaran’s initial attempts all end in vain, skillfully drafts a plan and succeeds in it all adding up to the BIGGEST SPECTACLE IN TAMIL CINEMA, as promised by the team.

The first half is a smooth and fun ride with Chitty taking centre stage. The action sequence on the sub urban train is alluring!! The second half is truly a bonanza for viewers. In a climatic sequence, thousands of humanoids link themselves together to form a huge drill, giant ball firing bullets, a massive python (that literally engulfs cars, people, a tower and finally a towering giant who bursts from the underground far beyond the imagination of cinema goers. 

SONGS and PICTURISATION:

The movie has 3 show stopper songs. When it comes to visualization Shankar excels with magnificence. 

Kilmanjaro ; the tribal song shot at one of the world’s  heritage spot  is fantastic . Aishwariya dazzles.
Chitti dance show; springs up the hidden dance skills in Superstar.
Kadal Anukkal ; the visualization of the song is a real treat for Rajini fans!!
ARIMA ARIMA : portrays the Superstar in a larger than life image !!

VERDICT:
ENTHIRAN is not just a movie, an experience and excitement that needs to be seen. SUPERSTAR RAJNIKANTH ….. An unstoppable force to reckon with; magnetizes the Tamil audiences spread across the length and breadth of the geographical boundaries. A landmark in TAMIL FILM ...
