Review:Birjis Adeni Rashed



 Its an elaborately  lousy  sci-fi production, ridiculous script and dialogs,  pathetic songs, plastic  acting,…. yet  Enthiran- Robot is strangely  an expensively ( Rs 160 crores)  made super hit blockbuster movie! 

Yes it has positives, its among the first scifi bollywood movies made, it has moments of glory with impressive special effects, technical lingo ( Asimov Theory)  and stunt performances. If you are the type who enjoys special effects and stunt action, and are a  Rajnikant fan and can ignore the illogical parts  like  robot talking to mosquitos etc you may enjoy the movie !

FYI- If you are seeing this because you are a Rajnikant fan, surprisingly this movie lacks the typical ‘Rajnikant  chaap’ or  his unique style,  though there are two Rajnikants in the movie- the scientists and the robot, the characters dont  perform his usual antics popular in his movies.

The story is about how a scientist develops a robot to serve humanity and upgrades it with human emotions, this leads to trouble with the robot falling for the scientists girlfriend. Of course there is a villain in every story, a rival scientist tampers the robot to cause harm and destruction. All this plus crappy masala filled in makes the movie.

Rajnikanth sorry to say looks very old, he should act his age and move on. The wigs and make up do nothing for him here. Yes he carries the movie on his shoulders, besides the special effects hugely sharing the weight. Aishwarya Rai is ridiculously plastic and Barbie dollish, her acting is plastic, fake and silly.

For the amount of money spent and the popularity of the lead actors one would have expected a better movie but there are many audiences who accept the illogical and ludicrousness of  bollywood movies  dished out, hence they become blockbusters!!
