Have the best opportunity to blog again :) Rajnikanth's new movie has released yippie!!
There is another post I have written for Rajni's Movie 'Boss-The Sivaji'... ... .. er 'Sivaji- The Boss'
Here's the link http://stuffedbox.blogspot.com/2007/07/jai-sivaji-xd.html
Having nothing to do on a Sunday morning, my friend tells me "dude, lets go to Robot". I was like, alright, been a long time since I saw Rajni's new wigs, mass make-up, death defining stunts that would put Einstien and Newton screaming "how the hell can he defy my laws!!" and how he beats the shit out of people using things like a 1 Rupee Topaz Blade which people normally don't use to shave their face hair, you get at a Kirana shop which he uses to cut the bullets, rebound them etc, how he makes the cars fly which would make the Wright bros think "hmm, why did we not think about it before? :'( ", his Yenglish yakkcent that the kids try to mimmic. The list goes on and on and on ............ ... .. .. and on.
My relative (Divya jain), put it beautifully on her facebook, as her status
"Endhiran releases, Rajni gives 2 stars to TOI,
Rajni's e-mail ID, gmail@rajni.com"
We enter the theatre and occupy our seats, saw loadsa teens, aunty-uncle log, couples (to watch the movie). They show the film certificate and people go haywire, auntya sab chilla rahe hain, log seeti maar rahe hain.
Enter Rajni, the first thing you notice is his brand new wig, atleast 10 kgs (good exercise for his brain) and a lot leaner. Working on a robo (he calls it chitti). He just tightens a few screws and feeds him (his memory...) with various with things and tadaa!! it starts to dance like MJ and fights like Bruce Lee. Cool stuff ae! Then enters Ash, 1/10th the age of Rajni but beautiful as ever. I thought she might be his grand-daughter but after some song sequences and certain things that happened between them, I was sure, that is not the relation they have...
Enter the villian, some-weird-long-tamil-name played by Danny Ding-dong-pa. He plays this guy who is jealous of Rajni's success and he wants the 'neural schema' of 'Chitti' to feed his own machines. Meantime, chitti is with ash, beating a few dozen gundas and he does 'bend-the-physical-laws' stunts (he runs on the train as well as on the SIDE of the train, first time in Indian cinema people, claps claps). When his battery goes low, he gets charged by plugging in by a 2-pin socket as you charge your shaver, magnificianto!!
Further down the movie, the robo develops emotions, falls in love with ash (who wouldn't like to) and Rajni chops him off and dumps him in the dumpster (who the hell throws a robo in a kachre-ka-dibba, that was odd). Danny Ding-dong-pa goes to the dump station and tries to find it, but hey!! the robo is in his car, in the backseat, reminds me of the movie Don where Amitabh Bachchan is in the backseat of Ifftekar's jeep (the policeman).. Wonder if Ash suggested "please Rajni uncle, let the robo be in the backseat and say Surprise!! and blow a trumpet". They did agree to her, only on some points.
Ash tells chitti 'you are a machine and have no emotions, how can you love a human'..haha, the opposite is true though, there are some tiny machines which can make people adore em 0:)(Americans would know better)
The climax is good (seriously), the bad-chitti (fitted with danny ding-dong-pa's red evil chip that looks like a mobile SIM card and someone spit gutkha on it) builds an army and a fortress and captures Ash (lanka style). Here you see some good never-seen-before-in-Indian-cinema special effects, the army forms into different shapes (just like nature's fractal designs) and fights the policemen. This was indeed cool!!
Ultimately, sacchai ki jeet hoti he bure pe and everyone's happy.........
Also, i have heard that Hollywood producers have lined up to buy the rights of Rajni-Chitti-Ash-Robots story and would call it Terminator-5 : Robo with a Golden heart. No prizes for guessing, who will replace Arnold Shivajinagar :D
Ultimately, its a good watch :) and respect to Rajni, he is a very humble person.
