TAMIL FILM REVIEW:
Worth the Wait: Endhiran

Cast: Rajnikanth, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Danny Denzongpa, Karunas and Santhanam
Music: A.R. Rahman
Director: Shankar

Rajnikanth and Aishwarya in "Endhiran."

The wait is finally over and Endhiran is here after a good three years. The film is well worth the wait.

For Rajni fans nothing could be better than having two Rajnis and later hundreds of them in the film! From story, to dialogues, music, editing, special effects and screenplay, the film has it all tightly in place.

The story in brief Dr. Vaseegaran (Rajni) is a scientist working on alternative intelligence and after 10 years of research develops a robot that is almost human. He applies for a patent but his professor and former teacher Bora (Danny) refuses it, proving to the panel that the robot is unfit to be let loose among humans.

Vaseegaran tries to prove him wrong and shows him how useful the robot can be in saving lives and in the army in times of war.

A series of circumstances, however, leads him to finally re- program the robot called Chitty ( Rajni again) with human feelings and emotions so that he is able to distinguish between right and wrong.

However things go wrong when Chitty falls in love with Sana (Aishwarya), who is Vaseegaran’s girlfriend. Another twist in the story leads to Chitty falling in Bora’s evil hands and replicating himself into hundreds of similar robots.

It’s Rajni magic all the way and director Shankar’s touch can be seen throughout. The big plus of the film is the fact that even though you know Chitty is a machine, the scenes involving him steal the show. Both the Rajnis are a treat to watch with humor being an integral part of the story all through. Aishwarya looks awesome and does her part well and Danny as the suave scientist is well chosen.

The music by Rahman is already topping charts and the Ratnavelu’s cinematography to go with it is breathtaking.

Anthony’s crisp editing keeps the story moving briskly. Shankar should be given credit for keeping the human touch throughout even though the film deals with machines.

The scale of the film is awesome and the science labs are a treat to watch for their very international look.
