Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

silvan-desouza Normally South Indian films are far-fetched and have heroes play same parts again and again, Rajnikant too after the crap Shivaji(2007) I didn't expect much but this film is a surprise. Technologically this is one of the best films. It does have some routine romantic scenes(afterall a tamil film) but yet the main story of Rajnikant making a clone of himself is terrific when the clone does a volte face it strikes you, there are several scenes well handled in the second half like Cheethi recognising the real Rajnikant, Danny's death and the climax which goes a bit overboard but superbly handledDirector Shankar does a terrific job Music is decentRajnikant handles both the roles perfectly, his make up is simply terrific hard to make out it's a 60+ person playing the part Aishwarya Rai is decent in her role Danny is good but his role is half baked, rest are okay

Arun K Chow Arguably Enthiran has many similarities to "I, Robot". With that said, Shankar could have chosen any young lead other than South Superstar Rajini Kanth. It's painful to watch when a respected and admired actor is portrayed as a scientist with weird appearance and a clown robot which does gimmicks. Time and time again, it's proved that a movie with boat load of bloat CGI won't be a massive hit unless it's accompanied by a good plot, captivating screenplay and apt visualization. In Enthiran, Shankar failed to realize where he could infuse CGI and where he couldn't. Result is chaotic! Aishwarya Rai is misused again. It's clearly evident that a good amount of research went in to the movie. There's a lot of cheapness to the richness in this movie. A rape attempt on Aishwarya?

buzink What is there to say, amongst these lyrical reviews by Indian fans of 'Superstar Rajinikanth'?Yes, it is an interesting movie. As is to be expected from a movie about robots from 'the East', where robots are becoming a familiar sight in peoples daily lives, while in the West robots for most people are still science fiction.And yes, the special effects are pretty cool, although they do look a little bit cheap here and there (try to watch them without sound and you will see what I mean). It's definitely the first time that I saw a swarm of humanoid robots, and director Shankar (who also wrote the screenplay) definitely gets the most out of this ingenious concept, both visually and conceptually.I fact, the idea and its elaboration are so cool, it's easy to forgive the filmmakers the a bit too simple story and rather flat characters. Girlfriend Sana is only beautiful (although rather extremely beautiful) and her only goal in life is to get the attention of her boyfriend. The helpers of the inventor are only (very) silly and start a big mess by falling in the trap of the bad guy and the bad guy is... well.. dressed in black and jealous and all that.That's OK. But what is UNFORGIVABLE, for Western eyes, is that the middle of the coolest action, everybody just starts dancing! Why would they do that? The kitsch Bollywood music videos that you find yourself suddenly watching are really silly, are totally unrelated to style of the rest of the movie, take the flow out of it and they are just WAY TOO LONG.And why are they situated all over the world? The story is situated exclusively in India, but all of a sudden you see the main characters dancing in Peru,of all places. Why? Did the director need an excuses for having a nice trip to some other continents? Or do Indian spectators don't mind this incongruity? Or, more interesting still, do they actually appreciate it?As reviewer Mahesh Kothamangalam on IMDb said: 'The songs are spectacular. Shankar shows the audience some of the best places in the world all for a few bucks.' Now, that's another way to look it! Maybe I should try to reevaluate my all too rational European expectations and judgment, but when people start dancing in an otherwise cool movie, I really have a hard time doing that. Hello cultural difference!So, if you don't like musicals (or just don't want them to be mixed up in your sf movie), skip the silly dancing and singing parts. You will see, this is actually a great movie. And if you want to know what the future of cinema is, don't skip the dancing parts. India with 1.2 billion people is one of the largest emerging economies. Bollywood probably really IS the new Hollywood.

Ramakrishna Srinivasan How much do I love this MFing movie? I watched Endhiran over 18 times. I tried to get Misys to show this movie at corporate inductions.If this is not love, then what is? Love that is.OK, these guys have like picked up the best technical talent across the globe and managed to delivered a healthy baby. Like my Twitter stream (twitter/RamTheSkiver), the last 30 minutes of this movie is full intense, with full action and full 3D. This reminded me of my college days of full action and only 3 Ds.Endhiran guarantees fun for the entire family and Rajinikanth re-establishes the fact that what no body can, only Rajini can't do.Ramakrishna Srinivasan
