I watched the most anticipated movie of 2010 - Enthiran - at one of the local theatres at Chennai. It was "Rakesh Theatre" an annexe of "Vetri Theatre", Chrompet and the show was at 8 AM! I watched the movie with a couple of my friends from work.
In a nutshell, this movie mainly deals with the conflicts that arise in an Android robot created by a scientist, when he programs the robot to start experiencing human emotions.
That one-liner by itself is something that the Tamil movie industry has not dealt with ever. For that matter, I really cannot think of a Tamil movie that has actually brought science to the forefront, except for the classic variations of mental illnesses like amnesia, schizophrenia etc. The best attempt in dealing with science was perhaps Dasavatharam and that was a movie made only to deal with megalomaniacal needs of one actor, not necessarily to talk about the impact of biological warfare.
Enthiran, on the other hand, deals with Robotics and features Rajni as a scientist who creates an Android (that looks exactly like him), with the aim of introducing such Androids into the Indian Army and save valuable human life. And before he approaches the agency that can certify that the robot is fit enough to be presented to the Armed Forces, he decides to loan it to Aish, his girlfriend, to see how he reacts to the World. And after a few funny sequences and some stupid stunt sequences (they looked better on You Tube), the scientist makes the necessary tweaks and presents it to the agency.
The Board in-charge of granting this permission is headed by Rajni's old professor, Danny Dengzongpa, who is at some level jealous of Rajni and so, ensures that Rajni's robot (named Chitti) does not get the necessary approvals for mass production. The official reasoning given is that, the robot would only follow orders and would not evaluate the emotional aspect of its actions.
So Rajni, starts programming robot to start understanding emotions and lo behold, even the robot realises that Aishwarya Rai (scientist Rajni's girl-friend) is quite attractive. And starts developing feelings of love and affection towards her. That is really where the story starts.
Scientist Rajni again presents the robot to few Army Generals, but the robot starts reciting verses of love. An enraged Rajni then destroys the robot, but the evil Danny goes in search of it in the city's dump yard and restores "life" back to it. Additionally, he gives the robot some negative shades and sets him lose.
Since the robot is now strongly attracted to Aish and has also been given negative traits by Danny, he goes on a mission to abduct Aish and marry her. Along the way, he also manages to create multiple robots like himself and also kills Danny. After kidnapping Aish, there is a rather elaborate sequence where scores of Policemen get killed by the bad robot.
The robot then houses Aish somewhere and tries to convince her to marry him. Scientist Rajni then joins the legions of the robots and tries to sabotage the main bad robot's plans. After a lot of gun-fights, good triumphs over evil and all is settled. The bad robot becomes good again, but the Judiciary orders that it be dismantled. After a poignant speech by the robot, it is laid to rest.
Parts of the story may evoke strong similarities to many Hollywood movies, primarily to Bicentennial Man (which incidentally was released 10 years ago and that is the same 10 years ago that Director Shankar claims to have conceived this movie)!
Now that story narration is done, here are my observations about the movie, covering both the good and the bad, in no specific order:
- Fundamentally, this is not your typical Rajni movie. If you want a Sivaji or a Padaiyappa or even a Chandramukhi type of movie - don't watch Enthiran.
- While it is not a Rajni movie, it is not a proper science fiction either. There are way too many loose ends with the Android and I cannot accept that the robot can be simply programmed to learn emotions in just a couple of weeks.
- The special effects in the movie are good. Then again, it is not at current Hollywood levels for sure. I think the blame for it should not go to technology, but more to the ideation process.
- Rajni the villain is just amazing. We badly need to see him again in a strong negative role. The "black sheep" scene was just awesome.
- Rajni has also completely under-played himself in the role of the scientist. Absolutely no mannerisms, catch-phrases etc.
- Aishwarya Rai looks stunning. And she dances really well, especially in the "Boom Boom Robot da" song.
- The music was quite good and the songs were well picturised. The "Kaadhal Anukkall" song has been shot in an amazing location - some desert that has a stream of water in the middle. Rajni and Aish are the only ones on screen and they are wearing clothes that blend with the location. On the contrary, in the "Kilimanjaro" song, there are way too many group dancers and the costumes are also quite loud. The song has been shot in Machu Picchu, Peru. I felt that the whole loudness of the song and costumes, did not allow the viewer to enjoy the beauty of Machu Picchu.
- The robot is supposed to get charged by using just 2 units of power (1 unit = 1000 Watts per hour). But when the bad robots are all near empty on energy, they simply plug into the batteries of various cars and get full power before you can say WTF. Similarly, in an earlier sequence, the robot charges itself by connecting to a high-tension current from a transformer box.
- The scene that has been setup to prove that while a robot can do amazing things (like rescuing people caught in fire), it cannot react to the emotional needs of people (one of the people caught in the fire is a girl who was having her bath and is hence nude and shouldn't have been brought in public in the same nude state).
- The scene with the robot talking to a mosquito - idiotic.
- Most of the songs have been squeezed into the second-half and sadly, the drag was felt.
- The epilogue of the movie was quite interesting, with a couple of good dialogues. There was an earlier instance too - when the main characters talk about why it is impossible for a machine and human to be married. This scene did not carry the necessary bite and fell flat, primarily due to very bland dialogues.
- The robot's initial interaction with the real world was quite good. Quite a lot of humor was thrown in and they did evoke quite a few guffaws.
In the overall level, I would only give it a 2.5/5. Yes, from now on, my movie reviews are going to get rated.
P.S.: A quick note on the theatre, since I have a feeling that it may have affected my perception of the movie. It was 25 rows long and just wide enough to seat 14 people with a narrow aisle in the middle. The screen was from wall to wall, so you can imagine what a telescopic vision I had of the screen. The fans on the side were actually blocking the end of the screen!
When the first "romantic" scene between Rajni and Aish came up, someone in the audience shouted "Thalaiva, Khabardar", in reference to the speech that Rajni made during the audio launch.
At the very end of the movie, a bunch of school children are shown walking around a museum where the dismantled robot is kept and one of the girls (featured in too many ads and has acted in the movie Sillunu Oru Kaadhal) talks to the robot. The same voice in the audience now yelled "Thalaivaroda adutha pada heroine ready"!
Inspired by Seinfeld, this blog is really about nothing. Possibly an insight into the mundane life of an Indian Software Testing Professional.

Random Observation # 048
In Pink Panther 2, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's character is the villain. And the name of the character is Sonia.
Is some message being conveyed here, given that Sonia Gandhi and her party gave Aishwarya Rai Bachchan a tough time in 2006.

Movie Review of Pink Panther 2
Saw this movie at Sathyam Cinemas' Six Degrees theatre on Saturday the 28th of February 2009. Spoiler Alert: I will be disclosing the villain at the end of this review.
The movie begins with Inspector Clousseau (Steve Martin) being called upon to head a Dream Team of international expert detectives to catch the "Tornado", a thief who has been knocking off major artifacts across museums of the World. The Tornado also manages to steal the ring worn by the Pope even as this Dream Team is in Rome trying to solve the case. At one stage, the members of the dream team are embarrassed beyond tolerable levels and move Clousseau out of the team. How Clousseau solves the case in his own unique and as his loyal assistant Ponton (role reprised by Jean Reno) calls it "unorthodox" ways, even after he is removed from the team, forms the rest of the plot.
The cast is an ensemble one with the surprise packages being Andy Garcia, John Cleese and Alfred Molina. For the non-movie buffs these guys have appeared in many movies and their famous/popular ones are the Casino Owner in Ocean's 11, Q in Pierce Brosnan's James Bond movies and the villainous professor in Spiderman-2. Respectively of course.
And the main reason why I went to this movie instead of waiting for its TV premiere was to see Aichu. A lot has been written about her role in this movie and believe you me, she doesn't have a bit part. I mean, her role is as big or small as that of any of the other bigwigs I mentioned in the previous paragraph. She doesnt appear as a glam doll and I will also be the first one to admit that she doesn't look that great in this movie.
Anyways, coming back to the movie, it is an out and out comedy belonging to the slapstick genre. There are quite a lot of brilliant scenes featuring Steve Martin and to me what stood out the most was the scene where he is investigating the missing ring from the pope. I haven't rolled around in my seat in laughter as much as I did for this scene. Even the first interaction between Steve Martin and Alfred Molina where each one tries to show-off his detective skills is fantastic. And the way he inadvertently sets fire to the same restaurant twice is also great. Special mention must also be mentioned about Lily Tomlin who as Mrs. Berenger tries to teach etiquette to Inspector Clousseau.
But the second half of the movie does drag around a little and especially towards the closing stages, it gets quite predictable. And here comes the spoiler alert: Sonia (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) is the real villain (and is also not the Tornado).
All in all it is a good entertaining movie with quite a lot of laughs and gags thrown in. You will surely not regret the money you spend for the ticket, though the same cant be said about the money you spend on the snacks.

போறுமே - Enough
As is the usual post-supper wont at home, my parents and I got down to a game of cards last night. We usually play the game of "Declare" which is the shortened version of the popular "Rummy".
My parents have this perception that I tend to lose if I play the game while watching TV (usually to catch up on some cricket highlights). This is far from the truth, because I am actually known to lose even if I am not watching TV.
Anyways, yesterday, the movie हम दिल दे चुके सनम (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam) was being telecast on one of the channels and I was watching it. So when the game of Declare started, my parents exchanged comments that I would lose real bad today since I was watching an Aishwarya Rai movie.
And for any Rip Wan Winkle who may be reading this post, please be advised that this was one of her first few movies and she was like drop-dead-gorgeous in this one. At some level, having to rank her movies in terms of "which one was she more beautiful in" is like having to rank the different Pizzas on the menu card of a Pizza chain. Some like the plain Margherita Pizza, while others like the Veggie Delight and some others may like the Tandoori Pizza. Basically no one says any particular type of pizza is bad, but just that they prefer one type more than the other.
Coming back to the cards table, we had completed one round and I was clearly losing, though only by a small margin. It was then my turn to shuffle the cards. I was shuffling and was also watching the movie. I don't exactly remember which scene it was, but it was most likely the Neembuda song. I was obviously quite engrossed in the movie when suddenly I heard my father's voice say "போறுமே". I guess he got tired of watching me shuffling the cards and probably wanted to stop me from drooling quite literally.
I snapped out of the movie momentarily and got on to the business of dealing the cards. I did resume watching the movie and needless to add, I was clearly the loser of the game last night. But I have no regrets!

Jodhaa Akbar -
This movie is probably one of the worst I've seen in my life. The only reason why it is not THE WORST is simply because of Aishwarya Rai; if she were not there in the movie, there would be no second thoughts in my mind about this being THE WORST movie in the history of cinema.
I didn't want to see the movie, but I was given 4 free tickets by Tanishq, when my mother bought some stuff there this morning.
I am sure you have read enough reviews of this movie and have also read many an article about the protests about the purported misrepresentation of few historical facts.
So, I wont go into the details of where the movie was bad or where it was worse. I would probably have to create a whole blog site just for that. To help you read a crisper rant, I will give out the points that irked me:
1. The movie was bloody long; really LLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG
2. It was not a historical since there were abundant twists to facts - the very fact that there is a confusion about whether Akbar indeed married someone called Jodhaa is proof enough
3. To the best of my knowledge, there was nothing romantic in the movie
4. At many times, Akbar's character started resembling King Ashoka after the Kalinga war
5. Lot of half-baked characters
6. Tell me one King or one wannabe King wanting to fight it out in hand-to-hand combat to decide who becomes the ruler
7. How was the King's surrogate mother allowed to take part in the activities in the King's court?
8. The forts and palaces of the Rajputs might be in dilapidated conditions today. But when the Kings were indeed ruling, wouldn't they have been fresher?
9. I really doubt if Tanishq did sponsor the jewellery in the movie. Most of the things that they were wearing are sold by the gypsies in 2nd Avenue Besant Nagar.
10. I think the movie was made with the first rule that it would run for more than 3.5 hours. They then decided the plot and I cannot think of any other reason why the movie was so SLOW
11. In spite of advancement of technology, they have featured actual people and animals in the war scenes. Even the toddlers in the arena (and there were quite a few obnoxious ones in the movie hall) knew that it was staged!
12. Rajputs are not that cowardly or idiotic
13. Akbar had an assassination attempt with a poison tipped arrow. The soldiers catch the assassin who then swallows a poison pill (reminds you of the Tamil group infamous for this) and dies in 2 seconds. But that idiot does not use the same poison in the arrow with which he shot Akbar.
14. The reason for Akbar to agree to the wedding proposal with Jodhaa wasn't really convincing.
15. Ultimately, this was a business decision by a King who wanted to conquer territory. When you put a teenaged warrior King and a gorgeous princess in the same house as husband and wife, things are bound to happen sooner than later. And this is typically the case in any average Indian household. So what the hell was so special in this case? Jodhaa kept saying that he has to win her heart to be able to even touch her. Apart from defeating her in a sword fight, I didn't see him do anything to woo her. No roses. No cards. No stuffed toys. Nothing! He probably won her heart by nearly dying. Which seems to be the most popular technique used by boys till date, to get a girl's attention.
16. I somehow find it difficult to accept that a boy King, who has grown under the influence of a blood hungry commander, would be peace loving when he becomes 19 - if I followed the plot correctly, Akbar is introduced as a 13 year old during the battle of Panipat and the narrator said that after 6 years he was on a campaign to conquer the Rajputs. This is where he asks his commander to go off to Mecca!
17. I think chariots were out of fashion in the Moghul time period
18. The ability to instantly form groups of synchronised dancers existed even in that period! The King announced the abolishing of "Yatra tax" for the Hindus and immediately there was a big song and dance routine!
19. If Akbar was indeed such a kind, loving, generous and romantic person, then why is he also known to have caused trouble to the love affair of his son with a courtesan? Was that because she was not a princess and did not help in annexing any territory?
20. I know Hrithik has 6 fingers, but did Akbar have them too?
I think this is enough for now. If I remember anything more, I will add it to the comments section.
The only good thing about the whole movie was that I didn't pay for the tickets!

Random Jotting # 006
Was watching the old Hindi movie "Coolie" starring Big B.
The first scene was a fight between Big B and Suresh Oberoi.
You know what struck me immediately? It was potentially a fight between a guy who could have been Aishu's Father-in-law and a guy was is soon going to become her Father-in-law!!!
Needless to add, Big B won the onscreen fight too. :-)

My impressions after watching Dhoom 2 this morning
- mumbai cops have run out of uniforms
- mumbai cops have way too much money to waste
- the firearms used in the movie must be of really $hitty quality, otherwise, there is no way that so many henchmen, guards, policemen and even the lead actors can miss some of the easiest shots of their lives.
- maharashtra police has software that can immediately give flash presentations even as an actor mouths some lines
- aishu is like FLAMING HOT
- bips is sizzling
- did i mention that aishu is FLAMING HOT
- i seem to have developed a knack of completely ignoring the dialogues rendered by people on screen, if aishu is in some part of the scene
- to watch the movie more than once, you must have some link to a ladies college as a student within the past 7-8 years
- to watch the movie even once, you must be morbidly obsessed with Ms.Rai
- to even talk about the movie , you must belong to the Yash Raj Chopra family
- a person who thinks the movie is cool, has never ever watched even a B grade Hollywood action movie
- a person who thinks that the bikes are great, has no clue about bikes and superbikes
- i find that having two regular packs of butter popcorn as breakfast is not a good idea
- like Neeluking pointed out, hrithik has some extra growth on his right thumb
- i am not the only idiot to watch a movie at 9 am. the show was 'housefull'. and with not just youngsters. there were lot of families too. senior citizens as well. and loud babies too.
BUT, I am perfectly ready to watch this movie once again. Mainly because (I dont know if I mentioned this before) aishu is absolutely stunningly phenomenally mind-blowingly scintillatingly tantalisingly beautiful in this movie.

Its official. Abhishek and Aishwarya are going to get married soon.
During lunch, I was telling my friends that I was worried about the Customs department filing some mysterious case on Aishwarya, saying that she got a package ( from Holland ) and that this package had some 25K Euros in cash.
When I said this, my friend made a comment that its all because of Amitabh. That's when the tube light upstairs flickered and lit up.
The thing is, that Italian import ruling this country by proxy and our dear gem of Allahabad have both said 'un paechu kaa' to each other. Bachchan senior has been targeted by all wings of the Government ranging from the IT department questioning him when he was in ICU, to the Food and Civil Supplies ministry questioning him for not personally procuring vegetables from the local mandi.
This service was extended to Jaya Bachchan as well and we all know where/why/how the Office of Profit controversy started.
So basically, Bachchan and family are under a major pazhi vaangum padalam. Definitely, all the agents of RAW are now given full time assignments of monitoring this family. I am guessing that at some point in time, they chanced to observe a growing romance between AB Jr and AR.
Since the Govt. has taken this extreme step of pulling Ash up (for no fault of hers), it can only mean that they are convinced about the wedding plans of these two stars.
So its no longer a rumour. AB and AR will be wedded soon.
I pray to God to give AR the strength to come through this trial and tribulation, unscathed.
Also my best wishes to the pair. (With the 'engirundhaalum vaazhga' song in the background).

Bachchan senior has been targeted by all wings of the Government ranging from the IT department questioning him when he was in ICU, to the Food and Civil Supplies ministry questioning him for not personally procuring vegetables from the local mandi.
This service was extended to Jaya Bachchan as well and we all know where/why/how the Office of Profit controversy started.
So basically, Bachchan and family are under a major pazhi vaangum padalam. Definitely, all the agents of RAW are now given full time assignments of monitoring this family. I am guessing that at some point in time, they chanced to observe a growing romance between AB Jr and AR.
Since the Govt. has taken this extreme step of pulling Ash up (for no fault of hers), it can only mean that they are convinced about the wedding plans of these two stars.
So its no longer a rumour. AB and AR will be wedded soon.
I pray to God to give AR the strength to come through this trial and tribulation, unscathed.
Also my best wishes to the pair. (With the 'engirundhaalum vaazhga' song in the background).
