Film: Robot
Language: I don't know
Cast: Rajnikant, Aishwarya Rai,
Direction: Shankar
Rating: You don't rate Rajni movies. Mind it!
Aiyyo! When a film's credits begin rolling with the mention of 'Superstar Rajni' and the name of the film is only mentioned later as an afterthought, you ought to know that the film does not warrant a review. But then, I have been dying to write something about it since the time I began watching the movie in the cinema hall on Friday night. The movie has just ended, so here I am.
It all began with a kiss that a lovely doe-eyed girl planted on Chitti's (Rajni the robot's) cheek. At first, when Chitti was a mere machine sans human emotions, he disliked the kiss because it wetted his cheek. But then Vasikaran (Rajni the superstar scientist & Chitti's creator) planted some programmable feelings in Chitti's metallic heart for some reason I can't remember. And then the doe-eyed girl kissed Chitti again, which drove Chitti bananas. (I won't blame him for that). An insecure Rajni the scientist dismantled Rajni the robot and threw his remainder in a dumpyard.
For all practical purposes, the story ended there. But then a sizable part of India's population resented in front of the director's house, demanding more of Rajni. So Rajni the robot resurfaced from the dumpyard and declared war on Rajni the scientist and every other object that existed in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and other Indian states that Chitti's arms could reach out to. Then, voila! A hundred more Rajnis came into being thanks to Chitti's need to set up an army that comprised of, well, a number of himselves. In the last hour, you have hundred thousand Rajnis with artistically gelled hair wigs manifesting themselves into various kinds of machines. And then Rajni the..oh, wait. That doe-eyed girl, by the way, is Aishwarya Rai. She is a doctor and lives in a house called Happy Home (I thought only houses in Punjab can have such names).
Ok, so then Rajni the robot will have Aishwarya Rai at any cost. But Rajni the scientist is smart (of course, da!) and he overpowers Chitti (you call that Chitti ko Chitt kar dena). Ultimately, love triumphs over an erroneous program code.
If you are a Rajni fan, you've got a bonanza out there. If you are not, stay away from Robots. They can give you an electric shock, right like the one the lyrics 'Mohen Jodaro, Mujhe Dil Mein Utaaro' may have given Javed Akhtar Sa'ab.
when tickets are sold for 3 minute trailer repeatedly, well nothing will suprise me. but he didn't get an entry or an opp to display his "stunts"
