உலக அழகி ஹீரோயின் என்றெல்லாம் தினம் தினம் சன்பிக்சர்ஸ் டுமீல் விட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்தாலும், படம் பார்க்கும்போது ரஜினி இருக்க, அதெல்லாம் எதுக்கு என்று தோன்றுகிறது. ஐஸ்வர்யாராயை பேஸ்மெண்டாக வைத்துதான் திரைக்கதை என்றாலும்கூட சதாவை ஹீரோயினாக போட்டிருந்தாலும் இதே எஃபெக்ட் கிடைத்திருக்கும்.

guys,
anybody remember zigbee...?

here it is:

802.15.4 � ZigBee Physical LayerZigBee is a wireless technology developed as an open global standard to address the unique needs of low-cost, low-power wireless M2M networks. The ZigBee standard operates on the IEEE 802.15.4 physical radio specification and operates in unlicensed bands including 2.4 GHz, 900 MHz and 868 MHz.

XBee and XBee-PRO ZB ZigBee modules support the latest ZigBee PRO feature set and allow for interoperability with ZigBee devices from other vendors. With XBee, users can have their ZigBee network up-and-running in a matter of minutes.

XBee and XBee-PRO ZB adapters provide simple ZigBee communication via a variety of connection options including RS-232, RS-485, digital I/O and analog I/O.

ConnectPort X gateways allow you to IP-enable ZigBee networks by aggregating device data and making that information available over an Ethernet, cellular, or Wi-Fi connection. ConnectPort X gateways offer programmability and configuration options to most effectively manage devices on a ZigBee network.

The 802.15.4 specification upon which the ZigBee stack operates gained ratification by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2003. The specification is a packet-based radio protocol intended for low-cost, battery-operated devices. The protocol allows devices to communicate in a variety of network topologies and can have battery life lasting several years.

The ZigBee Protocol
The ZigBee protocol has been created and ratified by member companies of the ZigBee Alliance. Over 300 leading semiconductor manufacturers, technology firms, OEMs and service companies comprise the ZigBee Alliance membership. The ZigBee protocol was designed to provide an easy-to-use wireless data solution characterized by secure, reliable wireless network architectures.

The ZigBee Advantage
The ZigBee protocol is designed to communicate data through hostile RF environments that are common in commercial and industrial applications.

ZigBee protocol features include:

Support for multiple network topologies such as point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and mesh networks
Low duty cycle � provides long battery life
Low latency
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
Up to 65,000 nodes per network
128-bit AES encryption for secure data connections
Collision avoidance, retries and acknowledgements

From: Sanjeevi on Sun Oct 3 13:28:53 2010.

my take

I was longing, cha these kind of movies will not come in tamil? when I was watching some hollywood films. After so many years this is the answer. Athukkaga criticize pannama irukka mudiyathu . Story is definitely good unlike some 3rd grade hollywood masala and the execution was also good. Shankar . Dialogue was good and extraordinary at places especially துரோகம் vs தியாகம் and கடவுள் related :excellent:

I believe Sujatha's contribution was noteworthy in story and dialogues and in initial scenes of chitti's innocent. But post interval it was not gripping. ARR has slowing losing his Midas touch? Songs except few were not attracting well. I remember when I saw Gentle, Kadhalan in theatres. Still robo da song rocked and some BGMs. Nalla kathula poova suthuraar Shankar post interval but I somewhat liked.

Some brilliant scenes

Citi's innocent scenes

During the train fight, when rajini came after battery recharge and ran at 90 degree on the side part of train, Rajini accidently kick on the mouth a train journey person who trying to spit outside train Shankar

Nowadays, to market a film, it is better to get a negative publicity or controversies to get the film known by many people in the country.. Examples.. My name is Khan, 3 Idiots...

This film Enthiran.. Wow.. mindblowing without any controversies and not even a single problem. One name has done this wonders..

Hats off to Shankar also... None claimed the story as theirs so far...

ye i saw one clip of it yestarday just to see whether rajini's voice would be there by any chance but its not there for either chitti or vaseegaran. they have used a dubbed voice. Shankar's earlier films were dubbed into hindi without his permission but this time he himself dubbed it so it came out well.

Atlast watched Endhiran yesterday.

Thoroughly enjoyable movie

Awesome direction from Shankar... Fantastic performance from Thalaivar.. Thrilling music from ARR made the movie worth a watch

Thalaivar as chitti

Recommended for everyone

one point though.. somehow Thalaivar's magic is missing in the movie. Not referring to Intro song or punch dialogues.. thalaivar originality is missing.

sangar -> _-

vaseegaran - thumbsdown(most of the bad writing)

இயல்பு இருக்கலாம், ஆனால் லாஜிக் இல்லை, எனவே அந்த பாத்திரத்தை ரசிக்க முடியவில்லை

ரோபோவை உருவாக்கிய அவரே பல இடங்களில் ரோபோவின் செயல்களை பார்த்து வாய் பிளக்கிறார். வசி மற்றும் வசியை சுற்றி பல விஷயங்கள் காமெடி தான். பத்து வருட உழைப்பு தேவைப்படுகிற ரோபோவை உருவாக்க அவருடன் வேறு உருப்படியான விஞ்ஞானிகள் யாரும் இல்லை. ஜட்டி, மோட்டார் மாட்டும் கருணாஸ் சந்தானத்தை எந்த கணக்கில் சேர்ப்பது?

பிரசவ இடம், தீவிபத்து, இந்த காட்சிகளில், உன்னால் இது முடியுமா என்று அவர் படைப்பை பார்த்து அவரே கேள்வி கேட்கிறார். அபத்தத்தின் உச்சம் என்னவென்றால், இரண்டு இடங்கள். தீ விபத்து, ராணுவ படலம், இரண்டும் முடிந்து, அவர் தன படைப்பைப்பார்த்து, என்னடா முட்டாள், இப்படி செஞ்சிட்டியே என்று கத்துவது, என்ன கொடுமை எந்திரன் இது?? படைத்தவனே நீ தான்.

அதற்கு மானம் அவமானம், ஆண் பெண் அன்று பிரித்து பார்க்க தெரியாது என்று அந்த வில்லன் ரஜினியிடம் சொல்ல, அவரும் கேட்டுக்கொண்டிருக்கிறார். பத்து வருட அனுபவம்?? அப்படியே அவர், இதெல்லாம் ரோபோவுக்கு தெரியவேண்டும் என்பதனால் தான் மனிதர்களோடு மனிதனாக பழகவிட்டார் என்றால், மனித உணர்வுகள் அதற்கு வந்துவிட்டனவா என்று பரிசோதித்து பார்க்காமல் ராணுவ தளம், தீ விபத்து என்று அழைத்து செல்கிறார்.

these are becos of bad writing by sangar, so that affects the vase character also. below are some other ex. for bad writing

இன்னும் ஒரு சின்ன விஷயம் - வில்லன் ரோபோ தன துவம்சத்தை ஆரம்பித்த அடுத்த காட்சி, போலீஸ் வந்து "என்ன ரோபோ செஞ்சிருக்கீங்க??" என்று கேட்பது - என்னய்யா புள்ள பெத்திருக்க, எப்புடி ரவிடித்தனம் செஞ்சிருக்கான் தெரியுமா என்று கேட்பது போல் உள்ளது, டேய், அது ரோபோ டா என்று கத்தலாம் போல் உள்ளது. மேலும், இந்த கேள்வியின் அர்த்தம் என்ன?!? ஊர் உலகத்துல அவனவன் எவ்ளோ நல்ல ரோபோ பண்ணுறான், நீ என்ன ரோபோ பண்ணி வச்சிருக்க என்று கேட்பது போலும் உள்ளது. நல்ல காமெடி.

ரோபோ படைப்பிலும் சில உறுத்தல்கள் உள்ளன. கிளைமேக்ஸ் காட்சி, ரயில் மேல் ஓடுதல், தவிர்த்து பார்த்தால், சில சமயம், அந்த ரோபோவை ஜஸ்ட் ஒரு மனிதன் என்று பார்த்தால் என்ன செய்யுமோ அதைப்போல் தான் இருக்கிறது. ரஜினி டபுள் ஆக்ஷனில் நடிக்கிறார், ஒரு நல்லவன், ஒரு வில்லன். அவ்ளோதான், என தோன்றுகிறது.

அது போல், கடைசியில் ஐஸை வைத்து ஏதாவது டெக்னிக்கலாக செய்து வில்லன் ரோபோவை செயலிழக்க வைப்பார்கள் என்று நினைத்தேன், ஆனால், பரபரப்பு பிரம்மாண்டம் எல்லாம் செய்துவிட்டு கடைசியில் பாம் வயரை பிடுங்குவதற்கு சமமான ஒன்றை செய்து செயலிழக்க வைகிறார்கள். ஆனால், இந்த ஜிகினா எல்லாம் independence day போன்ற ஆலிவுட் குப்பைகளிலும் உள்ளது எனவே கணக்கில் வராது

Quote:

If I have to be fair, I shud say this shud rank as one of the poorly executed Shankar movie, CG saves the day for the film!

Starting from how a scientist can have so many resources, the whole process of approvals after letting a robot roam f...ree, police shooting robot even though Aish is in car, robot with 100 men strength struggling in the train scene fight,Just to lengthen sequences, robot power is underestimated; the dismantled robot coming back (how can a scientist be so careless?), Army officers evaluating arsenal training in open grnd with so many ppl around training, Villain Chitti means to find scientist Rajni (when it has so many methods like blood grp detection etc), how does Chitti acquire AI in so less time (scenes dont substantiate), reading book on feelings u cant get them, reverse mapping of hormones was poor coverup,; Rajni allowing Chiti to be with Aish (even w/o proper testing of Chitti is a real goofup); Rajni's answer to Danny that robot got confused with multiple commands was totally unprofessional reply

Biggest concern for me was the creator shud always have some means to control robot remotely after all its gonna be deployed in army, here rajni struggles in climax to deactivate robot though the other malicious prog is installed;

ரோபோவை உருவாக்கிய அவரே பல இடங்களில் ரோபோவின் செயல்களை பார்த்து வாய் பிளக்கிறார்.

அவரும் ஒரு மனிதர் தானே! பல்லாயிரக்கணக்கான விதிகளை மட்டுமே அவரால் உருவாக்கமுடியும். ஆனால், ரோபோ அதற்கும் அப்பால், நிறைய நூல்களையும், செய்திகளையும் படிக்கிறது. பகுத்துக்கொள்கிறது. நிகழ்தகவுகளை சந்திப்பது முழுக்க முழுக்க ரோபோவைச் சார்ந்தது. அதனால் அப்படியொரு வியப்பு வருவது இயல்புதான்.

பத்து வருட உழைப்பு தேவைப்படுகிற ரோபோவை உருவாக்க அவருடன் வேறு உருப்படியான விஞ்ஞானிகள் யாரும் இல்லை. ஜட்டி, மோட்டார் மாட்டும் கருணாஸ் சந்தானத்தை எந்த கணக்கில் சேர்ப்பது?

ஏன், தனிப்பெரும் ஆளுமையால் உருவாக்கப் பட்டது ரோபோ. கருணாஸ், சந்தானம் உதவி புரிகிறார்கள். இதில் உறுத்துவதற்கு என்ன இருக்கிறது? Do you accept only if they show a project manager, under him 3 tech leads, each lead has 4 or 5 team members etc to build a robo?

தீ விபத்து, ராணுவ படலம், இரண்டும் முடிந்து, அவர் தன படைப்பைப்பார்த்து, என்னடா முட்டாள், இப்படி செஞ்சிட்டியே என்று கத்துவது, என்ன கொடுமை எந்திரன் இது?? படைத்தவனே நீ தான்.

தீ விபத்து சரி. ஆனால் ராணுவப் படலத்தின் போது ரோபோ மனிதர்களைப் போல பல்வித உணர்வுகளை கொண்டவராக தென்படுகிறது. அதனால் அது என்ன நேரத்தில் எப்படி பேசும் என்பது வசிக்கு தெரியாமல் போவது ஒன்றும் ஆச்சர்யமில்லை.

ஆனால், இந்த ஜிகினா எல்லாம் independence day போன்ற ஆலிவுட் குப்பைகளிலும் உள்ளது எனவே கணக்கில் வராது

பாஸ்! ஒரு ரோபோ கதையை வழக்கம் போல செய்யாமல், ஒரு காதல் கதையோடு அழைத்து சென்றதற்கே ஷங்கரை பாராட்டலாம். அங்கங்கே கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சம் கிராஃபிக்ஸில் கலக்கிய ஷங்கர் முழுக்க முழுக்க ஒரு முழு நீளப்படம் கொடுத்திருக்கிறார்.

குற்றம் கண்டுபிடித்து பேர் வாங்க நினைப்பவர்கள் இது போன்ற ஜனரஞ்சக படைப்பில் ஈடுபடுவது நேரவிரயம் என நினைக்கிறேன்.

"reading book on feelings u cant get them"

among the other inconsistencies in that note, reading book, seriously? did the writer even watch the film...? there's an entire montage assortment that establishes the instilling-feeling process... the paatti who blesses chitti, sana and latha explaining what appears to be pregnancy... the girl who adjusts her saree when chitti's around...

From: pamrang on Sun Oct 3 16:53:14 2010.

Actually, even during the fire accident, the robo immediately calculates the temperature of fire and says that his body can handle upto this temperature. So, in this case, Vasi ku fire temperature theriyaathu; robo antha temperature ku resistant aa nu ketkarathil thappu illiye! So, not a big blotch up....

தீ விபத்து காட்சியில், இது உன்னால் முடியுமா என கேட்கிறார். அதற்கு அது, என்னால் இந்தளவு சூட்டை (700 degrees)தாங்க முடியும் என்று சொல்கிறது.
(இது வசிக்கே தெரிந்திருக்கணும் இல்லையா)
அந்த பெண், நான் ட்ரெஸ் போடலை என்பதும் அந்த ரோபோவுக்கு புரியவில்லை, எனவேதான் " நானும்தான் போடவில்லை" என்கிறது. ரோபோவை பொறுத்தவரை அது தவறில்லை. ஆனால், அதன் படைப்பாளி" முட்டாள், இப்படி செஞ்சிட்டியே என்று கத்துவது காமெடி தானே?!? என்னதான் artificial intelligence இருந்தாலும், மக்களுடன் கலப்பதால் அது வளர்ந்தாலும், இது போன்ற பிழைகள் ஏற்படுவது சகஜம் தானே? bug இருந்தால் கம்பியூட்டரை திட்டுவீர்களா?!? "
உன்னை எப்படியெல்லாம் பாத்துக்கிட்டேன், உனக்கு காஸ்ட்லி பவுச் போட்டேன், தினம் மறக்காமல் சார்ஜ் செய்தேன், இப்படி முக்கியமான நேரத்துல பேட்டரி காலி பண்ணிட்டியே, சிக்னல் தரமாட்டேன்குறியே" என்று உங்கள் செல்போனை திட்டுவீர்களா?!?

சரி இப்போது, அதே நோக்கில், ரோபோவின் மனதில் என்ன ஓடுகிறது என்பதை அறியாத விஞ்ஞானியா ரஜினி?!? அப்படியே அது காதல் பேசினாலும், அது ஒரு மெஷின் அவ்வளவுதான். அந்த காட்சியிலும் பாவம் ரோபோவுக்கு திட்டு விழுகிறது. வெட்டும் விழுகிறது

படம் ஓடாவிட்டால் இயக்குனர்களையும், ஓடினால் தங்கள் தலைவனையும் (மட்டுமே) காரணம் காட்டும் ரசிகர்கள் போல், ரோபோவை மாபெரும் சபைகளில் அரங்கேற்றி அதன் திறமைகள் கண்டு வியந்து பாராட்டினால், படைப்பாளி என்பதால் அந்த பாராட்டுக்கள் தனக்கும், அதே மென்பொருள் அமைப்பு, ஒரு (சமூகத்தில் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளப்படாத)தவறான முடிவை, அது தவறு என்று தெரியாமல் செயல்படுத்தினால், அந்த பழி ரோபோவுக்கும், என்று செயல்படுகிறார்.

there r some films when its worse and though it runs atleast 2 a extent to recover the investment only because of that hero... and few hit movies get super hit only because of the star power of the hero... so its not wrong to say like this...

when a movie flops hero might be wrong by selecting subject r it may went wrong when it was executed... so major fault goes to director and he spoils the value of that star too...

same time when a movie gets a grand success its major part is director for making it good... as i said b4 the range of success depends on the hero...

so above highlighted sentence is not overall wrong...

na i think u need to watch the film again... because he ask's can u do this because he doesn't know whats the temp of fire there and robot says its 700 degree i can bare upto 1000 degre...

vasi didnt ask how much temp u can resist its been said to audience...

if u c in intor of robot itself vasi will say this robot is fire resistance and water resisted ...

On Sakalai's post about Vasi's emotional reaction: That's what is so special about AI: you dont program in specific responses (then that's not intelligence). There's always a certain degree of uncertainty in what response you get (Even in software, there's a certain uncertainty - as any one who has been thru a demo knows).
This is even one level above the Chess playing software from IBM - the authors would certainly not have known what move the chess software would make at any given step; similarly Vasi would never know what reply Chitti would give to a non-deterministic question.
So the pride to the answer to the God question is very understandable.

In fact, I think the bulk of the AI-related stuff was written by Sujatha - I dont think Shankar can pull that kind of stuff off.

Sakalae, why are you wasting your precious mind thinking about what is the logic behind every scene etc etc. what are you trying to prove.same age old "Senators statement" I know more than you know?
There were hundred flaws in script and story.. WE (ordinary People who liked the movie )have accepted it as a Indian version of Sci-Fi movie period with those flaws and drawbacks etc etc.

You wrote a review or whatever it was with that you made your statement and also explained your take on this movie.

Sakala,
Pose a hypothetical question about the intellectual maturity about a 10 yr-old to an adult and observe the answer.
Next, watch how the same adult behaves when he is highly stressed & his/her 10 yr old child misbehaves!

Not all behavior - even that of a scientist- is completely rational. There were certain scenes where even Sana had to tell Vasi to calm down and respond to Chitti rationally, not emotionally.

IMHO, that was what was so appealing about Vasi's characterization - he was shown as a regular human being with his faults, not as a utharana purushan.

Yes - the way Chitti was disposed of was jarring, indeed. At the very least, the chip with "the neural schema" should have been removed.

Robo : Get Ready Folks. Dot!
Posted by Hemanth on October 3rd, 2010

Caution : *Long Post with few Spoilers Ahead*

Sci-fi films are a rarity in Indian cinema and more so in south Indian film industry. If you wonder why this genre hasn�t really clicked in India, then have a look at a �gem� of a film called �Love Story 2050�. The film was good enough to slap the elite filmmakers out of their daydreams of making a sci-fi film and remind them that people cannot be taken for a ride! But then, when a director like Shankar announces that he�s making a sci-fi film with Rajinikanth, we can�t help but hope that this film changes the dismal track record which this genre has in our cinema. Why Shankar, you ask? Remember the famous song, Mukkabla from Kadhalan? Shankar wowed us with the special effects and since then, they had become an integral part of his films in one way or the other. Still, despite the impeccable track record which both Rajini and Shankar have, pulling off a Rs 150+ crore �sci-fi� commercial film sounded like skiing on the rings of Saturn! 24 hours after I saw the film, I can safely conclude that the money and responsibility of making this film was entrusted in safe hands.

It�s not I, Robot. Neither is it Bicentennial Man. But it does take some basic elements from these two films and morphs into a full fleged visual extravaganza with a local flavour. Before you stamp the film as a special effects gimmickry, we need to spare a thought for the script, Shankar�s vision and what Rajini along with the rest of the cast has done with the script under the aegis of Kalanidhi Maran. Yes, there are some mind-boggling special effects which would certainly wow us towards the end of the film. What�s interesting is the lead up to this point is poignantly written while retaining all the necessary ingredients expected from a masala entertainer. Shankar�s masterstroke lies in striking a balance between Rajini�s charisma and the script he had written for the film along with Sujatha Rangarajan. One of the reasons why so many people have been saying that it�s more of a Shankar�s film than a Rajini�s film is precisely because of this reason. And that�s quite an achievement in itself.

Notice how Shankar harnesses superstar�s charisma and unleashes it when you least expect it! There�s hardly a big bang introduction, which otherwise is a norm in a typical Rajini�s film. The director wastes no time in establishing the fact that Dr Vaseegaran (Rajini) has been working on making a humanoid-andriod for the past ten years. His dedication has taken a toll on his social life and also his love with Sana (Aishwarya Rai). But he does succeed in making a Robot who�s later named as Chitti (Rajini again). I don�t know if the rules of robotics apply to Chitti, but he�s always there for Dr Vaseegaran and Sana when they need him. Chitti�s honesty lands them in trouble, but the incidents and their consequences are extremely convincing at the same time.

The conflict point between Chitti and Vaseegaran was perhaps the first instance which made me realize the effort Shankar and Sujatha had put in their script. After the relationship between Sana, Vaseegaran and Chitti is well-established, there�s a scene where Danny (Vaseegaran�s senior) tests the intelligence of Chitti. It follows all the commands but doesn�t have the power to take decisions on its own and this point is remarkably established in the film. I had goosebumps when I saw the scene, simply because no other scene in the film conveys the psyche of a robot which says, �I followed your orders!� Once Vaseegaran realizes the fact that Chitti cannot be of great service to the country unless it has emotions, he becomes oblivious to its consequences while teaching Chitti about the importance of emotions. Blinded by passion, he does everything possible to make Chitti into an invincible soldier guarding the nation. But Chitti falls in love and the dialogues when question about the authenticity and sincerity of his feelings ensure that there�s enough emotional quotient in the story. Therre were instances where I couldn�t say whether Chitti was a robot or not! Maybe love does that to you�after blinding you, of course!

When does an actor raise above the script and leave his mark forever in our mind? Does an actor like Rajinikanth whose sheer presence sends his fans into frenzy need to so something spectacular to be remembered? Robo presents Rajinikanth like no other film since Padayappa. He�s present in almost every frame of the film either as the scientist or the robot. And the icon along with Shankar make sure that every second of Robo is lit up with splendidly written gags or heart wrenching emotional sequences. Not to forget the stunning action sequences and choreography! It�s tough to make out if there was a body double for Rajini! Whatever maybe the case, Rajini proves that when�s on screen, you would rather let your popcorn and cola rot in hell! His screen presence needs no introduction, but for a generation which doesn�t quite understand why his roles in films like Annamalai, Basha and Padayappa were so famous, then Chitti V2.0 is your answer. If Kroor Singh from �Chandrakantha� was a robot and you add zeta bytes of evilness in him, then Chitti V2.0 would be a kazillion times more suave than that in terms of his villainy! Rajini literally and figuratively shakes the fanboy in you and unleash his fury much to our awe. All I could say was�FUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKK�.Thalaivaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr, YOU ROCK!!!

I have never been a fan of Aishwarya Rai and partially agree with the popular sentiment that she�s more plastic than plastic itself. I can�t remember when was the last time she wowed me with her acting skills. But something was different in Robo. For the first time, I saw a woman who�s so gorgeous that I wanted to reconsider my perspective of her aura! The film, although revolves around her, doesn�t give her much scope to �perform�. Yet, Shankar compensates this state by making her appear so ravishing that a lot of us end up being �Chittis�! A lot of credit for this goes to the cinematographer, Rathnavelu. The colours and lighting which he uses to make every frame appear distinct is noteworthy. The costumes of both the actors are gawdy, especially in the songs. But then, they say it�s all futuristic and when you have a dream song with a robot, then anything is possible. Every Dengue Lakshmi would agree to that! Other like Danny Denzongpa, Santhanam, Karunas are competent in their roles.

A R Rahman�s music fights hard with the visual grandeur of the songs to make itself heard. Be it Kilimanjaro or Neelo Valupe, the breathtaking locales of Machu Picchu, Peru and Len��is Maranhenses National Park, Brazil make more impact than Rajman�s music. Atleast that�s what happened in my case. Sabu Cyril�s art direction and action choreography by Yuen Woo Ping are among the most talked about aspects of the film and it�s not without a reason. Watch the action sequence in the train and you will know why Robo is such a kickass film. The last 25 minutes of the film is a totally different story altogether. It has to be seen to be believed. If you are with the right crowd, when people love to express their excitement, this act in the film has so much energy that it�s bound to leave you overwhelmed.

Two of the biggest directors in South India, S S Rajamouli and Shankar have never had a flop in their careers. Both of them have mastered the art of churning out commercial hits for the past several years. This time, Shankar breaks free from all shackles and dreams big. His ten year dream of making this film couldn�t have been possible had it not been for Kalanidhi Maran�s belief in Shankar, Rajini and the rest of the team. Like any other Shankar film, there�s something or the other to be learnt from his films. After a long time he moves away from �corruption� and concentrates on man vs machine conflict. In doing so, he rakes in several issues regarding love, sex, marriage and more importantly the will to survive for love. Had it not been for Shankar�s expertise in handling the conflict point, the whole film would have demagnatised itself within no time! We bow to your imagination, sire. You have once again proved that when it comes to big bang entertainment, you are the King!

As the end credits roll, I couldn�t help but think, when was the last time I had so much fun while watching a film? I couldn�t remember. When was the last time I cried with joy and cheered for every move of a character on screen? I couldn�t remember. Perhaps, that�s why people say Rajini�s films are sheer magic especially when they are made by someone like Shankar. Go watch the film and get Robotised (or Endhiranised, if you are watching the Tamil version). It�s one overwhelming experience which we may never go through ever again in a long time. All hair Chitti V2.0. Dot.

P.S: If you are someone who has ridiculed the film when it began or turned down the offer when Shankar approached you, all I can say is � Mmmmmmmmmmeeeeeehhhhhhhheeeeeeee. Especially you sir, the resident of �Mannat�.

Saw Endhiran yesterday

Plus

1. Shankar. If Sivaji was a rajni movie directed by shankar, Endhiran is a Shankar movie in which Rajni acted. For what its worth, the movie would run 200 days even if it had SarathKumar as hero (no disrespect to him) because of its screenplay

2. Rajni as villian - too good

3. Climax Graphics

Minus

1. Song Picturisation - I didn't like Ballellakka picturisation (loved Vaji, Athiradi and Sahana). In this movie, I didnt like Kadhal Anukkal, Kilimanjaro and Irumbile picturisation. Sure they were shot in beautiful locations with beautiful costumes. But there is something that is missing. If you look at Muqabla or Vaji or Kurukku siruthavel, they all had beautiful location / cosutme, but there was more than that. A shankar touch - something creative. That was missing in the picturisation though. I loved Arima Arima and Pudiya Manida.

2. Bun TV - I have almost seen the movie thro' trailers. For example: When rajni was in yellow T Shirt, I immeadiately thought "now kalabavan mani is gonna come as thenga vetravan".. and when karunaas says raja muthaya hall I thought "now rajni is gonna kidnap aish" followed by "get ready folks" - there was absolutely no surprise - thank you kalanidi maran for ruining the 'surprise' element.

Watched it, going to watch it again. Will post review in my blog site later.

Just curious, what does the northies think?
From: Querida on Sun Oct 3 21:30:55 2010.

Watched Enthiran today...

thought we'd beat the crowd and head to the earliest (noon) showing of the movie...driving up to the theatre we were greeted by people swarming around the locked doors. Still we got our tickets and theatre filled only half way...coming out after the movie we were greeted by a double-fold line...I'm sure Silvercity was reminded of the days it played "Shivaji".

As expected there were whistles and "whoos!" but not as much security measures as taken at other theatres.

Coming to the movie:

Pros:

I found myself really enjoying the bgm..usually I don't listen to new songs until I watch the movie...fave was "Irumbile" though was thinking also a melancholy song about him having a heart/feelings could have been nice too.

The plot points illustrated to show how a robot cannot be like that of a human...much word play but also situations to illustrate the more serious implications and/or possibilities.

I was surprised to hear less preachiness about improving quality of life (I'm still bored over the Anniyan sermon overload) and some interesting lite philos/theory: (new creation, deception, weakness, independent thought, and of course love)....reminds me of "A.I." there is no separate scene just devoted to philosophizing, debate about these points...not as focused as "I, Robot" was about the "rules". Also reminded me of in parts of a much less sugar-coated "Bicentennial Man".

Vasi's character was more human/rounded...as in not the "ideal/heroic/paternal" scientist who fully understands his creation/creation's effects on society. Just his spouts of anger and constant belittling of Chitti makes that clear.

Girlie Points
-Beautiful Scenery for "Kadhal Annukal" and "Kilimanjaro" and Happy Home setting
-Would love to get me some Jos Alukkas

Cons:
-Mosquito episode

-other songs really didn't appeal I agree with Mexicomeat...something was missing...it seemed like they were sloppily placed as well...especially song after Kalabhavan Mani bit scene.

-someone get Aish some eye drops! The poor woman's eyes were so bloodshot in so many scenes...irritated eyes or just irritated?

-i felt the robot clone formations scene took way too long...yeah yeah i get it...visually appealing for maybe the first two formations.

-i maybe utterly alone when i make this point but when Rajini plays villian as in this movie (or in Chandramukhi) I found it too over the top...maybe that's the point...but i'm for the more dark villian Rajini we saw in his yesteryears movies.

Overall it was different in a good way...like movies such as "Koi Mil Gaya" and "Krissh" it's something different that hasn't been done yet...
From: Nerd on Sun Oct 3 21:31:19 2010.

MMeat - Sarathkumar as chitti V2.0????? And i strongly disagree with your point too. At best it could have broken even if not for Rajini's BO pull.

Thamiz/Sakala - I paid $3 for parking to a pant shirt clad vellaikkaaran because the theater was in a 'downtown'. That said they usually charge to park in the downtown parking lots so it's not exclusively for the film. In fact I got a discount since I was going to watch the film in that building.

I am not really a fan of song videos in a film but I do enjoy them as stand alone pieces. My ranking of the song videos:

It is doing great business (never before) in singapore.

And In my native (Kumbakonam ) it got released in 5 theatres and tickets are sold in 100-300 range and again never before never again business.

Kumbakonam-3

It hope the 3 days collections should be more than 50 cr based on number of screens and high ticket price.

1. Shankar. If Sivaji was a rajni movie directed by shankar, Endhiran is a Shankar movie in which Rajni acted. For what its worth, the movie would run 200 days even if it had SarathKumar as hero (no disrespect to him) because of its screenplay

First time I was disappointed little bit as it is not a usual Rajini film.

Later I realized this is what everyene expected from Gentleman days and loved it to the core.(Watched 4 times in 3 days)

Afterall Thalaivar's electrifying unusual performance made us his fans 25-30 years ago, not the opening songs and punch lines

It proves why he is still super star.

Weekend Box Office Report � October 3
I Am Not a Robot � or Not

The uber-ballyhooed The Social Network buzzed above the pack with an estimated $22.6 million to lead weekend ticket sales. Two other national releases proved commercial disappointments. The much-admired horror remake Let Me In ranked seventh overall with $5.3 million and the thriller Case 39 was a peg behind with $5.2 million.

The big noise for the frame came from new regional and niche titles. The Tamil language Robots (the most expensive film ever produced in India) rewrote the record books with the biggest ever North American debut with a $2.1 million tally. The simultaneous release of Anjaana Anjaani from Bollywood�s Hindi sector was also impressive with a $560,000 bow. In Canada, the Brit import StreetDance 3D generated a hefty $423,000 and the indigenous Fubar II rang up $209,000 from just 30 venues.

However, a couple of indie horror entries failed to ignite pre-Halloween frenzy. Chain Letter eked out a $300 average from 401 screens and Hatchet II was marginally better with an $880 average from a more contained 68 playdates.

Overall business experienced a roll back from both the prior weekend and 2009 revenues.

Critical response to The Social Network was predominantly rapturous. Still, media reports detailed concerns based on tracking and previews that the flamboyant saga of Facebook and its youthful creators was a tough sell. Exit polls showed that opening weekend skewed slightly female with 53% of the audience and plus 25s comprised 55% of sales. Trackers had predicted grossed in the range of $25 million to $28 million and its clear that its future rests on playing the awards card and eventually drawing in younger viewers obviously spending too much time on the net to go see the movie.

Let Me In also received enthusiastic thumbs ups from reviewers that failed to translate at the box office. Prognosticators pushed its envelope to the $10 million to $12 million strata but ticket buyers opted to catch up with The Town, Easy A or the Wall Street sequel. Case 39, which opened internationally in late 2008 and has grossed more than $10 million overseas, arrived as a theatrical afterthought and performed more or less as expected � blah.

Weekend sales came up just short of $100 million, which amounted to a 3% decline from seven days earlier. 2009 comparisons saw a steeper erosion of 9%. A year ago the debuts of Zombieland and the 3D pairing of Toy Story�s first two installments ranked first and third with respective openings of $24.7 million and $12.5 million.

Robot, with echoes of Metropolis, is a more optimistic yarn of a scientist who creates an android in his own image and watches the somewhat amusing results unfold. The big budget production went full out with dubbed versions in Hindi and Telegu in addition to the Tamil original. The largely Indian diasporas came out in force to generate a record opening box office. Still, despite considerable efforts in the past five years, the Indian cinema is just one film short of producing a crossover mainstream hit.

The session didn�t include a new platform in what looks like a crowded, eclectic awards season. However a clutch of early entries including Never Let Me Go, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and Catfish added dates and continued to keep a foot in the door. Only Jack Goes Boating appears to have run out of steam early.

My Name Is Khan smashes box-office record in the US
Published: Tuesday, Feb 16, 2010, 23:36 IST
By Uttara Choudhury | Place: NEW YORK | Agency: DNA

Bollywood is proving to be one of the bright spots for the stagnant US movie theatre industry. My Name is Khan (MNIK), starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol soared past trade expectations in North America by becoming the biggest grossing Bollywood film, in its first weekend.

The movie which opened on Feb 12, made $1.94 million over three days, surpassing a record set in 2007 by Om Shanti Om � which again had Khan in the lead.

Still managed to get the essence of what you are trying to say.Thaliavar has ruled it despite of going outside his "superstar"dome.

"I think this is the best villain I had the pleasure enjoy watching since Amaithi Padai. Plus the funny scenes between Rajini and Rajini. Only Rajini can pull it off"

And a pretty interesting praise for ARR

"He is fine when dealing with small recurring sound, the only one who�s good at it after Ilayaraja and have certainly lived up to that reputation. If you call that a reputation."

is the biggest Hindi release for Tamil superstar Rajinikanth. It is estimated to have clocked nearly Rs 10 crore from the non-South box-office although it had a lukewarm opening on Friday.

�On Friday, Robot�s occupancies were around 40-45%. On Saturday and Sunday, the occupancies went up to 90% and in some places nearly 100%,� said Balkrishna Shroff, Partner, � the company is distributing the film in Mumbai.

�The occupancy is 100% in South and more people are queuing up to buy tickets for which ever show they get, even if its after a week,� said Devang Sampat, president � operations, Cinemax India.

The film is expected to garner over Rs 35-40 crore in the first three days from the South box-office alone. Robot (Endhiran in Tamil) is released across 2,000 screens, of which nearly 800-1,000 screens were in non-South markets.

The movie is produced by Kalanidhi Maran-promoted SUN Pictures. �In some places tickets are being sold in black for Rs 5,000,� said film trade analyst Komal Nahata.

Endhiran - ordreal

the man v machine, the most abused topic of hollywood, has a very fundamental take from shankar.........i expected a little more complex take on the "subject"........with a predictable and fundamental storyline, the movie had the "plot" stuck in most points and relying heavily on gimmicks and stunts to take it forward.........im amazed why shankar is so insecure to include the mosquito scenes, pathetic climax scenes, kilimanjaro song when he has a good(though fundamental) plot and rajinikanth.......the film is full of flabs - unneccessary gimmicks and its hard to search for the plot points in this mess.........im being told that shankar is great at screenplay but the sequence involving dismantling the villain robot was a ordreal - why couldnt he make it crisper if he was so good in screenplay?

the much hyped VFX or special effects were seamless in many scenes but as tacky as ever in other scenes esp climax was a big letdown.....ashwarya - pls stop trying......rahman did a BGM that looked as if he was practising for a symphony........climax ordreal was sittable only becos of the 2 R's.......rajinikanth excelled as chitti - villain and vaseegaran characters are in his own terms, "jujubees" for him......he is a much more capable actor......

shankar - stop making basic storylines and covering up them with gimmicks........u couldnt even make a "en iniya iyandhira" - sad......but to his credit, the movie was so essentially indian and south indian as groucho put it, and didnt try to ape hollywood sensibilities and screenwriting techniques......and showing vaseegaran as a impatient scientist rather than gautham budhha v2 was a heartening thing but the gimmicks and a super long, nonsense second half makes Endhiran a ordreal for me....

Will Enthiran get into UK top 10?
By Moviebuzz | Monday, 04 October , 2010, 09:19

Rajinikanth�s Enthiran has taken a flying start in UK and US, ever since it opened to Thursday (September 30), paid previews.

Now the big question being asked in international trade circles is whether the film will feature in UK Top 10 and US Top 20?

If Enthiran smashes all exciting box-office records, it will auger well for other Tamil films in future. Noted trade analyst Taran Adarsh had tweeted- �UK Friday: Anjaana Anjaani � 50,036 - 53 screens. Endhiran � 50,424 - 40 screens.� This clearly proves Rajinikanth is ahead of Ranbir Kapoor, even though the superstar film is being screened in lesser number of screens!

Hats off to Rajinikanth! He has star power and charisma and may even make it to the highly competitive US Top 20.

The results from England and America will be known by tonight (Oct 4) in India. Let us hope our beloved Superstar creates a new world record and emerges triumphant. http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14957947

Just want to share this :

Enthiran FDFS in Coimbatore - KG Theatre (BIG Cinema) was half full !!! Kadhai alla nijam.

KG was to screen Endhiran but dont know what happened, they did not confirm and no advance booking was done and no banners or posters put, until 1st October.

My son a HC Rajni fan wanted to watch the movie on the first day, but did not get any tickets. He and his cousin walked into KG theatre on 1st Oct around 10 am to enquire and to their surprise tickets for the FDFS was sold at the counters - Rs.150/- (instead of the usual Rs.85/-). he was the first to get and that too in the top row. He was EXCITED and thrilled.
The first show was screened and the theatre was just half full.

BUT news spread so fast and from the second show and till now, its running full full full.

He came home and was so sad that the film had no big Rajnism, or the usual Rajni factor and said he is disappointed and will not watch the film again, etc etc. (I just smiled knowing him too well)

But from the next day, he was telling there is something in the movie and was turning the plate upside down, only to go again y/day night and comeback sad again saying - no tickets.
When I teased him, he is now saying, I want to watch the movie again once or twice to see apdi ennathaaan irukku andha padathile......

From today morning, I am repeatedly hearing from him, Rajni is cute ma, sema style ma, shall I buy tickets for you too ? When shall we go?

By the way, do you guys get proper subtitles over there? Usually we have sketchy bit done by Malaysian distributors, often missing halfway. But for Endhiran it's perfect, and I believe was done by the filmmakers themselves.

there were none for Tamil films I've watched here in the UK so far... but yeah, they've done really well with subtitles for Endhiran... still it's tricky with our kind of song lyrics...

Will Enthiran get into UK top 10?

By Moviebuzz | Monday, 04 October , 2010, 09:19

.Net E-mail ComponentAds by GoogleReliable POP3, IMAP, SMTP, SSL Download right now! www.afterlogic.com

Rajinikanth�s Enthiran has taken a flying start in UK and US, ever since it opened to Thursday (September 30), paid previews.

Now the big question being asked in international trade circles is whether the film will feature in UK Top 10 and US Top 20?

If Enthiran smashes all exciting box-office records, it will auger well for other Tamil films in future. Noted trade analyst Taran Adarsh had tweeted- �UK Friday: Anjaana Anjaani � 50,036 - 53 screens. Endhiran � 50,424 - 40 screens.� This clearly proves Rajinikanth is ahead of Ranbir Kapoor, even though the superstar film is being screened in lesser number of screens!

Hats off to Rajinikanth! He has star power and charisma and may even make it to the highly competitive US Top 20.

The results from England and America will be known by tonight (Oct 4) in India. Let us hope our beloved Superstar creates a new world record and emerges triumphant.

Endhiran - ordreal

the man v machine, the most abused topic of hollywood, has a very fundamental take from shankar.........i expected a little more complex take on the "subject"........with a predictable and fundamental storyline, the movie had the "plot" stuck in most points and relying heavily on gimmicks and stunts to take it forward.........im amazed why shankar is so insecure to include the mosquito scenes, pathetic climax scenes, kilimanjaro song when he has a good(though fundamental) plot and rajinikanth.......the film is full of flabs - unneccessary gimmicks and its hard to search for the plot points in this mess.........im being told that shankar is great at screenplay but the sequence involving dismantling the villain robot was a ordreal - why couldnt he make it crisper if he was so good in screenplay?

the much hyped VFX or special effects were seamless in many scenes but as tacky as ever in other scenes esp climax was a big letdown.....ashwarya - pls stop trying......rahman did a BGM that looked as if he was practising for a symphony........climax ordreal was sittable only becos of the 2 R's.......rajinikanth excelled as chitti - villain and vaseegaran characters are in his own terms, "jujubees" for him......he is a much more capable actor......

shankar - stop making basic storylines and covering up them with gimmicks........u couldnt even make a "en iniya iyandhira" - sad......but to his credit, the movie was so essentially indian and south indian as groucho put it, and didnt try to ape hollywood sensibilities and screenwriting techniques......and showing vaseegaran as a impatient scientist rather than gautham budhha v2 was a heartening thing but the gimmicks and a super long, nonsense second half makes Endhiran a ordreal for me....

good review! shankar created some sequences/scenes which can expose grandeurs and vfx, now he moves everything towards that and wont care about logic loopholes. thatswhy most of the places there are weak links.

the scene where police comes to vaee's lab to enquire him, oru mokka police team only will come

atleast oru IIT expert aavathu nichayam varuvaar. and, if a single man/single robo kidnaps a girl, whatever public nuisances it may create, all of a sudden you wont see a force of army that too with machine guns fighting....but shanker wanted to showcase that 'get ready folks" scene. so they HAVE to carry guns! even later, if supose the govt/police get to know its a battalion of robos, again, it will have a lengthy diskassens, complexities etc, i imagined our dumb politicos asking " robo nna ennayyaa, athu ennellaam pannum" etc

but here, we see a big team of army at disposal and ready for (only one man)vasee's instructions

but, once i knew sankar just want to push to climax, i let those thought go away...

robotics were already operational in many fields when i was doing my B.E long back in 2003 - like complex medical surgeries, aviation systems and other mission critical/ extreme-temperature/pressure conditions.......ippo ellam ketkave venaam - it would be quite advanced.......

at least i would like to differ on the surgeries part, the available systems are at the best only 'robotic arms' and are still operated by exceptionally skilled and experienced surgeon sitting in the operating room on something similar to a video game console. the robotic arms are nothing but an extension to the surgeon's fingers, not a replacement to either his fingers or his brain or his decades of hard work in medical school.

I have been a silent member and have always been following the discussion here.

One thing that i can say about Endhiran is that its a milestone of achievement by the whole team. This movie have been in the making for three years and i'm very sure that everyone involved must have wanted to make it perfect. To me, the acting and every aspects were too good including the graphics where its first of its kind in tamil cinema.

As for people who is criticizing the movie on the logic, story or graphics, talking after watching the movie is easy. Anyone can talk but do the person who talks have the ability to create that on the screen? Do they know what is involved in creating the scene or do they know how much of money and effort is out in for a particular scene? As for logic, when the hollywood movies create King Kong where a giant ape kidnaps a girl and falls in love and at last die was not questioned and our people enjoyed it. But when our own tamil cinema creates a movie, all the 'upcoming directors' condemned the movie and the logic.

If we ourselves don't support our movies, how can others support it? To me, Endhiran is a masterpiece that every indian can be proud of and this will be one of the sci-fiction movie that will be celebrated always. Its surely a blockbuster and i'm sure this movie will win awards.

sathya - seriously u dont want to see any negative reviews??

From: sathya_1979 on Mon Oct 4 7:10:44 2010.

Maddy, I don't want to see negative reviews for the sake of it.
My final take - This movie is for entertainment. Poeple looking for logic and facts can always go to library.
If we start searching logical fallacies, no movie, even the ones which were claimed to be classics, which won many awards etc don't escape. That's all.

well, nobody criticizes the effort and hardwork of the entire team. at the sametime, for a movie having lots of hardwork, criticism, reviews are not a mistake. things which are criticized are not the technology and good works, but some lame points, which wud hav covered better.

as a director who did Indian, Boys, Anniyan, and with him calling this his dream project(10 years in planning) and with sujatha giving the core, ppl will naturally expect certain standard. if that goes missing at places, they will criticize those parts. and most of us already well acknowledged the +ve's.

me as a kamal fan, have done much more criticism on Dasavatharam than any aother film till date, in this forum

I simply Loved the movie, will watch it again on Friday then with Family / relatives on Sunday.

Shankar has done a wonderful job, Flawless effort! :hats off sir :

but the Backbone of the show is none other than the super* him self, no punch dialogues, no styles... still his screen presence can never ever be matched by any, his Evil chitty acting will surely win him awards !

He is really a one man army!

the problem is he need to cater to many cross-sections of people. Many People who remember Matrix, remembers it for Spl Effects and Awesome Stunts. Also, with SS in the lead, avarOda fans um satisfy paNNanum. It's a compromise and balancing act.

That underlines pretty much what we could get from the director.
I think, he did much better than the above said films. Movie has a lot of flaws, but nothing pretty obvious (from a movie perspective).

From: vishalinie on Mon Oct 4 7:19:43 2010.

Yes, this is really a great movie. I'm from Malaysia and this movie is also liked by my friends of different races which is Malay and Chinese and they understand the movie thanks to subtitles. Their comments about the movie is, "Wow! The indian film industry is coming close to hollywood movie, brilliant, what is the actor's age? He is full of energy and i like him. The storyline is great."

a) shorter second half
b) a more convincing man vs machine conflict
c) avoiding redundant special effects - the climax snake formations of all shapes was bore after a couple of scenes
d) avoiding kilimanjaro and its preceding sequences
e) more convincing sequences for chitti's work efficiency, chitti's "lack of understanding of human emotions" and chitti's developing love for sana

My Endhiran experience on 1st of October

I booked the ticket over the phone, so I had to collect the ticket by showing my credit card as an ID to collect the ticket. So I showed the credit card to the cashier, as soon as the ticket came out of the machine, these were the cashier�s comments (white guy)
" Man you are going to watch this movie, dude this is awesome, mind blowing graphics, much better than predator, terminator, I-robots, avatar etc etc" and I was like

well said! Clap

True

and felt the adrenaline pumping in! He then carried on. "Who is the actor?? This guy has some special powers man, simply amazing, never seen an actor like this". I was speechless.

I then went inside to watch it, and saw the 80's classical Rajni sir. And then from there onwards I did not want to leave the cinema even when the film finished, I tried to sneak into another screen after my show finished, but the security was there

எந்திரன் படத்தின் மாபெரும் வெற்றியினால் ஏற்படவிருக்கும் �பின்�விளைவுகள்..

** ரஜினியை மீண்டும் வருங்கால முதல்வராக்க ஆரம்பித்து விடும் வாரமிருமுறை பத்திரிகைகள்.

** அவர் அப்படி அரசியலுக்கு எல்லாம் வந்துவிடக்கூடாது என்பதற்காக வாரம் ஒரு பாராட்டு விழா மஞ்சள் துண்டாருக்கு நடத்தி அதில் ரஜினியையும் கலந்து கொள்ள வைத்து விடுவார்கள்.

** அடுத்த படம் பற்றி பல �கதை�கள் வர ஆரம்பிக்கும்.

** �வர்க்கமயமாக்கப்பட்ட சூழலில் எந்திரனின் மாசு ஏற்படுத்தியிருக்கும் தூசு� என்கிற ரீதியில் தமிழ் வலையுலகில் �ஜெலூசில்� புலம்பல்கள் குறைந்தபட்சம் ஒரு மாதத்திற்காக ஓடிக் கொண்டிருக்கும்.

** சன் பிக்சர்ஸின் ஏகாதிபத்தியத்தை கண்டித்து �படத்தை புறக்கணியுங்கள்� என்று நாங்கள் விடுத்த கோரிக்கையை ஏற்று எந்திரன் திரைப்படத்தை சோமாலியாவில் பெரும் தோல்விப்படமாக மாற்றிய �தோளர்�களுக்கு நன்றி என்று சில பதிவுகள் வரலாம்.

** படத்தில் கடைசி சீனில் வரும் அந்த விளம்பர பெண் குழந்தைக்கு நல்ல எதிர்காலம். 2015-ல் தலைவருக்கு ஜோடியாக நடிக்க வாய்ப்புகள் பிரகாசம்!

** கூடிய விரைவில் ஒரு படத்தில் விவேக் ரோபோ மாதிரி வேஷமிட்டு அடி வாங்குவார்

** �ரஜினி ரசிகர்கள்� ரொம்ப நல்லவங்கய்டா.. காலைல 4.30 மணிக்கு ஷோ போட்டாலும் கூட்டமா கும்மிடுறாங்க என்று இனிமேல் நள்ளிரவு 12.30 மணிக்கெல்லாம் கூட திரையிடத் தொடங்குவார்கள்.

** ஜப்பானியர்கள் ஏற்கனவே காமிக்ஸ் பிரியர்கள். இனிமேல் �ரோபோ� காமிக்ஸ் அங்கே வர ஆரம்பித்து விடும்.

** எந்திரன் எப்படி என்று மக்கள் தீர்ப்பு கொடுத்தாகிவிட்டது. எனவே இனிமேலும் அதை ஆதரித்து எழுதினால் நம்மை எவன் கவனிப்பான் என்ற கவலை சில பிரபலங்களுக்கு. எனவே எதிர்மறை கட்டுரைகள் வர ஆரம்பிக்கும்.

** தமிழ் சினிமாவின் குப்பை என்று �எனிமா� முழுங்கி வாந்தி எடுத்திருக்கிறார் ஒரு �எளுத்தாளர்�. நல்ல வேளை. அவரெல்லாம் �நல்ல விஷயம்� என்று சொன்னால் அது உருப்படாது போய்விடும் என்பது உலகறிந்த உண்மை.

** இந்த �எளுத்தாளர்� குப்பை என்று சொன்னதற்காகவே அவரது ஜென்ம எதிரி �சூப்பர்� என்று சொல்ல வேண்டிய கட்டாயத்துக்கு தள்ளப்பட்டு விட்டது காலத்தின் கட்டாயம்!

** ஷாரூக்கான் உள்ளிட்ட மூன்று நடிகர்கள் நான்கு நாட்களாக ஐந்து வேளையும் தண்ணீரும் கம்பலையுமாக ரூம் போட்டு கண்ணீர் விட்டு வருவதாகக் கேள்வி.

** சில வலைப்பதிவர்கள் எந்திரன் குறித்து ஒவ்வொரு சைட்டிலும் ஒவ்வொரு விதமாக எழுதுகிறார்கள். ஒன்றில் வசி. இன்னொன்றில் சிட்டி வெர்ஷன் 1.0, மற்றொன்றில் சிட்டி வெர்ஷன் 2.0. (அந்நியன் ரெமோ உதாரணத்தை எவ்வளவு நாட்கள் தான் சொல்வதாம்?!) இன்னும் எவ்வளவு வெர்ஷன் போகுமோ தெரியவில்லை! (ஹரன்பிரசன்னாவைச் சொல்வதாக நினைத்துக் கொண்டால் நாம் பொறுப்பல்ல!)

** சிட்டி ரஜினி ரயிலில் ஓடும் போது எச்சில் துப்புபவரின் மூஞ்சியில் எட்டி உதைக்கும் காட்சி ஷங்கர் மற்றும் ரஜினியின் பார்ப்பனியத்துவத்தை மீண்டும் எடுத்துக்காட்டுகிறது என்று �தோளர்�கள் எழுதப்போவதாகக் கேள்வி. வெற்றிலை, தாம்பூலம் போடும் சாஸ்திரிகளை காண்பித்து உதைக்கச் சொல்லியிருக்க வேண்டியது தானே என்பது தான் கேள்வியாம்!

** குப்பை படம், இந்த வார குட்டு, பரபரப்பு படம் என்று எழுத்தாளர்கள் எழுத ஆரம்பிப்பார்கள்.

Rajinikanth�s Endhiran has made an earth-shattering opening on day one all across the globe. It drew full houses from its very first show from Gurgaon multiplexes in Harayana to Nagerkovil, the south tip of Tamil Nadu. In overseas markets the film has created a new history on the opening day.

Buzz up!According to the box-office reports, Endhiran (Robo) has raked more than Rs. 205 crore on the very first day itself. It has taken the best ever paid previews in UK and US on Thursday night by surpassing the collections of any Hindi film in 2010. In Mumbai, the movie has fared well and the Telugu version has also been declared a hit.

In Tamil Nadu, Endhiran has got the best ever single day opening for any film in Kollywood history, while in Kerala from 128 screens the film has opened bigger than a Mohanlal or Mammootty film.

The National media has gone crazy about Rajinikanth. News channels like NDTV, Times Now, CNN IBN and Headlines Today conducted half an hour �Robot-Special� with their entertainment editors flying in from Delhi and Mumbai to capture the Rajinikanth phenomenon in Chennai on release day.

I don't wanna divide the movie into two halves and compare one with the other... Overall, it's a terrific experience.... Amazing visuals.... Awesome performance from Rajni especially the last 45 minutes... Great Rerecording by ARR.... Wonderful

Creating a robot, using it just as a machine at the start, the attempt to give it some emotions and the consequences... Wow.... Brilliant idea... I have not watched much of HW movies of this genre.... So i find this extremely good and satisfactory...

It's a fulll and full team work.. Thanks to the entire team

Gonna watch it again @ 9 PM

met a sound engineer who works for setting up DTS Dolby and other stuff in theatres. He is a consultant who gets paid in lacs. For every rahmaan movie, he will get the original master disc with notes from rahmaan itself about to keep what levels of settings for specific moments. I wndered if that cant be automated, he said, it will vary for each and every multiplex theatre and manual configruation is best. Ans as this job category is quite rare, If suppose he set the settings properly and if that excecuted well in the theatre, rahmaan himself pays few lacs as bonus to them, for encouraging rare talents. He said for enthiran he got about 10 lacs!

e) more convincing sequences for chitti's work efficiency, chitti's "lack of understanding of human emotions" and chitti's developing love for sana

One of the *high* points of the film to me. The fire-clotheless-suicide (can also call that as an accident) was a throwback to the 80s and it still works. Very impactful and chitti remembering little incidents, the ones which Poornima quoted, Vasee teaching him things etc., It all happens in <5 minutes, so nicely done. One of the highlights of the screenplay.

Robot (Hindi) Has Poor First Weekend

Monday 4th October 2010 14.00 IST

Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network

Robot (Hindi) could not make much impact at the box office as it grossed around 7 crore nett in its opening weekend.

The film did better on Saturday and Sunday but the big jump in collections was not there. The collections were mainly from Mumbai circuit (3.25 crore nett) and CPCI (1 crore nett). The North remained very dull.

The shows of Endhiran (Tamil) were much better be it Mumbai, Delhi or Gurgaon but it was a very limited release.

Overall Robot (Hindi) has not done well especially if we look at the release which was pretty wide. It will have to depend on the weekdays and second weekend if it is to put up a decent final total.

Even in 'c' centres like Samarlakota (E.Godavari), Adoni (Ceded), Robot witnessing record collections..

http://twitter.com/JalapathyG

It collected Rs 3.75 Crores (share) in Nizam area in the just three days and ending up the second biggest opener in the history of Telugu cinema after Magadheera.

First 3 days openings are so good. On par with Magadheera. Will become one of the biggest hits. Overall revenue depends on Khaleja

For a dubbed movie it is record amount if it really collects that amount. Shivaji first week collections was 3+ Crores

No battery can be charged directly with AC 250 volts available in wall plug.

more simple existing egjampul is mobile phone charger. it takes the line voltage 230vAC and gives back 5vDC to mobile

in chittis case, it takes the DC volts directly from the car battery, also car battery will have more Ampere hours, so fast charging is possible

This along with 'Chitti kicking a compulsive spitter on train' are the sorts of social commentary I expect from Shankar from now on. Not the verbose ones he used to do in all his films prior to this.

Never been a fan - I am sure you'll probably find it shocking but I haven't watched a movie of shankar in theatre - and lend your ears, I haven't watched sivaji completely in any form.

I might still watch endhiran - I kind of go by bala karthik and grouch's reviews - but if I do, shankar will have no bearing on it, it will only be for rajini.

Actually, I really want my muLLum malarum rajini back, however impractical that may sound. So, yes, I might be prejudiced multiple times over against his mass appeal movies.

Quote:

The GOOD, The BAD, The UGLY Of Shankar

Enthiran, dreamed as Science Fiction and touted to be India's costliest movie, has everything in it to evoke all sorts of emotions from the viewer - be it appreciation, chuckle, embarrassment, awe, laugh out loud moments, yawn or the 'dhum breaks'. Whats more, the film has a pretty long run time and this makes those moments prolonged, which is both good and bad.

The initial part of the film establishes the skills of Chitti, the Humanoid Robot and its relationship with its creator, Vaseegaran. The first half of the film is an account of the Humanoid's initial days, where it interacts with the World in its ignorant-as-a-toddler form. This part of the movie moves at a nice pace, with focus on the real world behavior of the humanoid, setting up the movie pretty well. The characters of Santhanam and Karunas are annoyingly sketched that it makes you wonder what Shankar is trying to do them. Whats worse is that the way their roles progress makes it even more baffling. While their slapstick with the Humanoid is irritating, what they end up doing in the later part of the movie makes them a misfit or poorly executed characters.

Shankar doesn't waste much time in getting the audience warmed up with what the promos had promised, the visuals. He nicely interleaves them and lets them off with the craft of a veteran entertainer. There is this action prolonged block in the train (which ends up an overdose) followed by a crisp demonstrative block at the A.I.R.D inspection place, which sets up the rest of the movie. This is where the narration gains pace and is the point where you begin to view things more seriously. Shankar moves from strength to strength, unveiling the great potentials of the humanoid while exposing its lack of artificial intelligence at the same time, setting the ground even. The scene at the hospital, though manipulatively constructed and placed, falls very well in place and helps the story hit the peak note at the right time. He couldn't have placed it any better and boy, hasn't he done that before? Clearly, these well placed USP scenes makes you overlook the glaring aspect of the half, which would be the misfit characters of Santhanam/Karunas and some prolonged overdose action scenes.

The next half of the movie which goes on to offer some breathtaking visuals, glimpses of Vintage Rajnikanth, good BG scores is marred by very average writing, over the top action sequences, repetitive BG scores and terrible placement of song sequences. Shankar seems to be obsessed with song sequences that its so hard for him to resist the temptation to sneak in that exotic-locale-and-lavish-costume number, though highly unnecessary and even at the cost of providing that yawn experience to the viewer, only this time he does it one too many, with back to back placements of "Irumbile" and "Kilimanjaro" and then an "Arima Arima", as if he wants to make intermittent boasts of the exorbitant budget that he has been granted access to. Whats worse - they came at a stage when the narration appears to have lost direction. Yes, where was the film heading towards with all that mosquito talk (Sigh!) and the supposed-to-be funny sequence at the beach(Yawn!), which is annoyingly sandwiched between two mundane song sequences. In hindsight, I realize that Shankar has a lot in his sleeve to narrate, but just that he seems to be too concerned about the diverse audience that is trying to impress and is trying hard to force in some pundit-suggested-tailor-made sequences, with no regard to however unrelated or speed bumping they may be to the story under narration. With Cinema being a visual medium, film makers should focus on their visuals to move the plot and make statements. While many film makers are inclined towards using the song sequences to move their narration, Shankar doesn't seem to show any interest from moving away from a group-choreo number or an exotic locale duet.

Though the film at this stage is highly predictable, Shankar manages to squeeze in some interest with a few good moves and some well written dialogs help the cause. The film manages to get back to shape (FINALLY!) when Rajni is asked to do what he is good at, play the Bad-Ass. You get to see glimpses of Netrikkan times and your mind acknowledges the actor lost in stardom. For sometime, Rajnikanth takes control of the film from Shankar, who in a while would go on to deliver some breathtaking visuals, when the humanoids multiply and take leverage of electromagnetic formations. These formations are on screen transformations of the creativity, visualization and imagination quotient of Shankar and his team of elite Animatronics technicians. All that you can do now is just be in awe of the technical wizardry of the technology wing of the film. This part is indeed a milestone and not surprisingly, comes from the man who has been keen on pushing the technology envelope of Tamil Cinema at every given chance.

After all those visuals, the film gradually inches towards its end without much fuss. The Climax again is so typical of Shankar, reminiscent of Gentleman. What really surprises me about Shankar is that even after all these years of experience, he doesn't really care about any sort of innovation or variation in the Climax. Even if doesn't wish to have an open ending and all that wants to conclude with is simple, he could resort to better narration techniques, instead of a mundane court scene with a ridiculously simplistic argument justifying his protagonist.

Enthiran is all about Shankar and his technology team. Rajnikanth provides the much needed boost when the narration flattens and Aishwarya Rai plays her role on/off. She is gorgeous as ever, dances like a charm and it looks like nothing more was asked of her, while Danny is convincing in his stint. My compliment to Shankar would be for the Visuals and my complaint would be for the consistently semi-focussed, semi-interesting, semi-gripping plot. More than anything, the film would stand testimony to the strengths and weaknesses of Shankar, with every frame carrying his signature - be it the spellbinding visuals, the mundanely introduced and picturised songs, the misfit characters, the semi interesting plot, his imagination quotient, his limitations as a writer/director and his craft as an entertainer. I only wish that Shankar starts focusing on some good writing and direction, which when combined with his visualization quotient would make him a "great" story teller, someday!!!

In US the movie has collected approximately million dollars, which is total collection of Sivaji and twice the first week collection of Sivaji. It is not quite break even yet(1.4 million). If somebody says US top ten, don't even think of believing it. In Chennai box office also it collected twice the collection of Sivaji. Perfect opening in every sense. As I said earlier if we have one more solid week then it is a solid hit.

If our hubbers give negative reviews take it in a right spirit. As this movie is an entertainer, it had its own share of flaws. For me the most satisifying thing is Rajini came out of his typecast roles. That is very good for his future.

Endhiran is set to be India�s biggest blockbuster

Enthiran

Rajinikanth starrer Endhiran has finally arrived, with a bang. We all know how the advance booking for the first two weeks in Chennai went out within minutes of the ticket counter opening, how people queued up to watch 4am shows on the Friday of release, and how audiences have been going berserk in cinema halls at the antics of their favourite star.

What remains to be seen, however, is whether India�s most expensive film ever � at a budget in excess of Rs150 crores � will be able to earn back its investment and make profits. Early reports indicate that it most certain will accomplish the gargantuan feat.

Sun Pictures, the owners of the film, are reported to have already earned Rs210 crores, clearly making a profit. �In the case of South films, things work differently,� explains trade analyst Amod Mehra. �Sun Pictures, who hold the satellite rights themselves, has made a handsome profit on the film.�

Even if we look at the box office prospects of the film, it seems like Endhiran is set to be the biggest hit in the history of Indian cinema. �The films should earn a nett amount of Rs35-40 crores in only the south territories over the first weekend itself,� says Komal Nahta, editor of Film Information, adding that he�s only talking about the Tamil version.

�Then there are the Telugu versions, Hindi versions and the business that should come from the release of the Tamil version in other parts of India and overseas.�

The biggest Indian grosser of all time, 3 Idiots, earned a total nett amount of Rs202 crores from box office receipts. Endhiran seems set to break that record, mainly due to Rajinikanth�s appeal that goes beyond south India to many parts of the world, all of where the film has reportedly opened to packed houses. Screens in the US, Europe, Japan and Malaysia are all seeing unprecedented crowds for an Indian film, even Asian films.

�In places like Dubai, the fan frenzy is said to be unmatchable. Plus, in major south Indian cities, ticket prices have been hiked to unbelievable amounts � from Rs1500 to Rs3000 � in spite of which, shows in every cinema hall are House Full for the next 10 days,� says Nahta.

While the Telugu dubbed version of the film, Robo, has had a phenomenal opening as well, the Hindi dubbed version, Robot, has opened to average collections. �Having said that, the most a dubbed Hindi film earns is a little over a crore. Robot, the Hindi version, itself should do a business of over Rs10 crore. Now, that is saying something,� says Mehra.

It�s the magic of �Superstar Rajini�, after all.

apart from the poll options, I liked the brief transition phase from Chitti to Chitti with feelings... there's a random shot (neat BGM too) with Chitti in slow-mo on the road, slightly spreading out his hands as if he's embracing a new world... followed by the shot where he places flowers on Selvi's tomb.
and of course, the self-dismantling bit... the high point being the slightly sarcy, "robotics... future-la nalla scope (sic)"... understated, dignified.

Regarding the heated discussions.. I have only one thing to say..
Maddy watching the movie after saying he will not is not a crime. Sometimes we are cornered and helpless. Appollaam indha maadhiri nadakkaradhu sagajam dhaan.
Take this from some1 who hated Shankar's jeans so much in the first viewing, yet ended up seeing it 4 times - all thanks to saerkkai and soozhnilai. somethings are fated. I sympathize with maddy on this count and appreciate his guts to put up his thoughts on the movie inspite of. Rest need to simply chill out.

Sure. I said for only Tamil and Telugu version and Hindi version does not seem to be really big. Well I will definitely try to find the right one. If 2.1 million dollars is true then it is really earth shattering. It may not be broken by anyone. Even Rajini will find it difficult to break in the future.

TA: I find the data reasonable:

My reasons, # of theatres (136)

Average collection per theatre over the weekend ( 3days) is about 15,250!

Supoose it had 4 houseful shows among several shows (4 X200X20), it adds up to 16,000.

So, I think it is quite possible!

Shankar�s big brand!
Oct 4, 2010 - 3:29:50 AM

Undoubtedly, Rajnikant has great fan following in Andhra Pradesh too. But Shankar is a bigger brand than Rajni. Right from his maiden film, Gentleman, Shankar�s films are collected on part with the Tamil version. Films like Oke Okkadu, Boys and Aparachitudu are, in fact, grossed more in Andhra Pradesh than the Tamil versions did in Tamilnadu. He repeats his magic again with his most-hyped film, Robot, starring Rajnikant. Despite all the confusion surrounding the movie�s release in Nizam, the film shattered many records. It collected Rs 3.75 Crores (share) in Nizam area in the just three days and ending up the second biggest opener in the history of Telugu cinema after Magadheera.

Record openings

Magadheera collected about Rs 4 Crores in the first three days (share) in Nizam and Pawan Kalyan's Jalsa�s figure is somewhere between 3.25 Crores to 3.40 Crores. Robot, on the other hand grossed, nearly 3.75 Crores. Which is just short of Magadheera� s revenues. Had Sun Pictures publicized well and sold it off to a reputed producer/buyer, the movie would have definitely crossed Magadheera�s openings.

Not just in Nizam but also all over the Andhra Pradesh, Robot is opened with shattering collections. By far these are the best collections for any dubbed movie.

Negative talk, great collections

Interestingly, most of the audiences who saw the film are not fully satisfied with the hype surrounding the movie. Majority of them are giving thumbs down to the movie�s content but are raving about its graphics. Despite that, collections are equal to any Telugu big star�s movies (Pawan, Mahesh, NTR, Ram Charan). This clearly establishes Shankar is no.1 director in South India as per as commercial movies are concerned.

It is high time that Shankar should make a straight Telugu film. We hope it happens soon.

Robot surpasses all records of box-office collections in the opening weekend
October 04, 2010 06:46 PM |
Ashok Shaw
Rajinikanth creates hysteria with Robot; Hindi-speaking territories to offer more shows

Forget Dabangg or 3Idiots, Rajinikanth-starrer Robot is set to rule Indian cinema with its whopping collections in the opening weekend. According to trade pundits, the film has collected Rs95 crore from the combined ticket sales of all three versions in the opening weekend. If you add the ticket sales from overseas, it rises to a record Rs100 crore.

"In the opening weekend, all the three versions of Robot have together collected Rs95 crore, which is the highest-ever in India. If you add the overseas figures, the total collections will increase probably by another Rs7 crore-Rs8 crore," said Komal Nahta, founder-editor of Koimoi.com.

The film is expected to generate at least about Rs120 crore-Rs130 crore more from ticket sales, Mr Nahta added. Just a month ago, Dabangg, with gross collections of Rs48.25 crore at the opening weekend, surpassed
3Idiots who raked in approximately Rs41 crore in the same period. But all this is history now. Robot has remade the box-office record in its own inimitable style.

The USP of the film is "everything", including the special effects and Rajni Sir, according to Mr Nahta. Even those who haven't watched the film are gung-ho about the movie and plan to watch it in the days to come.

Piyush Pandey, executive chairman and national creative director of Ogilvy India, said, "Though I don't want to comment on something I haven't seen, but I can tell you a very dear friend of mine who is the chairman of Lowe, R Balki (director of Paa), met me a day before yesterday. He has seen it in Tamil and said it's fantastic. So, I would like to test his judgement. I will definitely watch it. Such a phenomenon should be seen. The person second to Mr Bachchan is only Mr Rajinikanth. They are the actual fathers of (the) movie (industry) in the country. So, I will definitely see it."

Though Robot was released with a record 2,250 prints and has created hysteria in south India and all over the world including Dubai and Malaysia, in Hindi speaking territories, the shows were few, less than one-third of the shows given to its competitive-release Anjaana Anjaani. But the rave reviews and positive publicity Robot has generated is set to change the trend, Mr Nahta said. "Rajinikanth doesn't run other than in South India. But now hall owners have realised that the movie is a hit and will get more shows in the second week."

Even Mr Pandey agreed with this. He said, "We are not a country but a continent. Regional differences will be there. Mr Rajinikanth will not be what Mr Bachchan is in the Hindi-speaking belt. So Mr Bachchan will not be what Mr Rajinikanth is in those areas."

So is the new record going to change the landscape of Indian cinema and set a new precedent? Mr Pandey differs. He told Moneylife, "These things (box-office collections) are very difficult to evaluate (in the context of) one film against the other. Because of the differences in the ticket rate and circumstances in the days of Sholay or DDLJ compared to now. But, obviously it is hugely successful. I can't compare one against the other. It's like comparing Sachin Tendulkar with Don Bradman."

Robot is the most expensive Indian film ever made with a price tag of Rs150 crore. The robots used in the movie cost around Rs4.8 crore each, according to a press release from the Sun Network. About Rs60 crore has been spent on special effects. The climax has been shot on a set that cost Rs5 crore where Rajinikanth fights with 100 robots that are similar to him.

I agree on this. My another friend distributing only in LA area. He told me that from what he has hearing from others, the ball park estimate is around 1 million dollars for both tamil and telugu version. For me even 1 million dollars in 3 days is astronomical, compared with the fact the best collection ever for tamil movie was 1 million dollars before endhiran. I really do not know about Hindi collections. FICUS can give us right numbers, but I am not sure whether they will do it or not. anyway no hard feelings for me on anything.

Jaiganes,

Two weeks housefull is never possible in TN. Weekends are usually full in advance booking in good theaters all across TN. On a weekday morning/matinee you can watch the film in 98% of the theaters by walking up to the counter. Two weeks housefull across all centers is nothing but pure media hype.

Actually lot of times in C cneters, they overprice the ticket. They run the show being "not houseful" too.

It has happened for sivaji. It might be happening for endhirna too

I mean they DO NOT bring down the price for making it houseful!

But at the sametime we need to have authentic information to prove that otherwise, people will think that we are not honest. We will wait and see whether it is the right no.,

Actually lot of times in C cneters, they overprice the ticket. They run the show being "not houseful" too.

It has happened for sivaji. It might be happening for endhirna too Smile

I mean they DO NOT bring down the price for making it houseful!

See simple answer would have been sufficient...
I am asking this because I was in bangalore when shivaji was released and i got the seating close to screen which was not made available to booking and that too in the 3rd week of the movie. So I expected "All seats full" in the first week. Hence the curiosity.

Can "Endhiran" make RM20 million?
Follow CinemaOnline on Twitter

By Sivarasa Sothivadivel

4 Oct � The weekend box office belonged to revered actor Rajnikanth as his Tamil blockbuster "Endhiran" (variants: "Enthiran", "Robot", "Robo") grossed in excess of RM3 million across more than 100 Malaysian screens for the weekend just gone, while Facebook movie "The Social Network" topped the U.S. charts with an estimated gross of US$ 23 million. The latter opens in Malaysia this 11 November.

A Rajnikanth lookalike at the TGV CapSquare premiere of "Endhiran" last week, which also VIPs like David Teo and Yusof Haslam in attendance

Sources within Lotus Five Star AV have confirmed that they are expecting a 100-day run and a total gross of RM20 million if Rajnikanth fans throw their support behind the Kollywood giant.

Many cinemagoers have been bombarding the cinema chains on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter with pre-sales enquiries prior to the opening day. Fortunately, there was no repeat of the "Sivaji" fiasco two years ago where problems with the digital download of the movie resulted in delayed or cancelled shows and a horde of angry patrons, which in turn resulted in public mayhem involving police intervention.

Cinema showtimes for "Endhiran" were also the most viewed on Cinema Online's website, with more than 50,000 unique page views by the opening day. Leading chain GSC also reported a spectacular spike in their Facebook activity notification, mostly attributed to anxious fans who were waiting for reservations to open for the monster title.

Two Rajnikanth fans Maheshan, 24, and Hariharan, 19, made their way from Rawang to TGV CapSquare when they couldn't get tickets to Pawagam Sun in Rawang on the opening day
Lotus Five Star State PJ registered sold out halls for almost every show over the weekend for "Endhiran". No untoward incidents were reported.

Patrons came to GSC MidValley as early as 9am before the cinema opened on a Saturday morning to try for better tickets
Local rapper Yogi B came with singer Reshmonu and was led up onstage to comment on the Rajnikanth movie

Filmmakers Farid Kamil & Pierre Andre came to watch "Endhiran"
"Endhiran" was the generally the fastest selling movie across all cinemas playing it

At the TGV CapSquare premiere of "Endhiran" last Thursday night, a host of local filmmakers showed up to witness the undeniable box office phenomenon, including David Teo, Yusof Haslam, Afdlin Shauki, Farid Kamil and Pierre Andre. The proceedings were officiated by Chief Minister of Perlis Datuk Seri Md Isa Sabu and also Lotus Five Star strongmen Dato' Doraisingam and Garuna Murthee.

On a related matter, industry sources confirm that six cinemas under the banner of Big Cinemas Lotus Five Star will revert to their original Lotus Five Star management from 7 October onwards, namely Butterworth, Tasik Skudai, Broadway, Klang, Selayang and Bukit Jambul.

In other news, U.S. No.1 box office hit "The Town" starring Ben Affleck which was due to open in Malaysia this week has been pushed by Warner Bros. Malaysia to December while recently "Scott Pilgrim vs The World" has been recently taken off the Malaysian and Singaporean release schedule.

Other lesser releases that debuted last weekend in Malaysia include "Charlie St Cloud", "Detective Dee", "Tiran Mati Di Ranjang", "Blood Ties", "Alpha And Omega" and a limited release independent movie at GSC International Screens called "The Joshua Tapes".

The Hindi version of "Endhiran", titled "Robo", is currently playing at TGV CapSquare only.

BO Update: Rajnikanth outinitials SRK in USA; Endhiran leaves Anjana Anjani behind in India
Monday, October 04, 2010

That Endhiran was setting records in India was a possibility given that half of Tamil Nadu appeared to be watching the movie on Friday. The joke in Tamil circles is that the "parking lot collection for Endhiran is higher than the entire box office collection of Anjaana Anjaani", the Ranbir Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra starrer. That is not true but clearly Endhiran was going to put up a bumper figure in India as even the Hindi version showed a jump on Saturday. At this point it appears that Endhiran has done atleast Rs. 40 crores gross in its opening weekend from the South and a similar nett (due to fact that entertainment tax is very low or rather 0 in Tamil Nadu for Tamil films). The Hindi version Robot has done another 12-13 crores gross. The record holder for Indian films is Dabangg right now, last month's Salman Khan starrer which did a Rs. 70 crores opening weekend gross (49-50 crores weekend net) in India last month over its 3 day weekend. The overall current raw grossing topper is Raju Hirani's 3 Idiots which registered an all India gross of approximately Rs. 300 crores apart from $2.5 million in UK and $6.5 million in USA.

Speaking of USA, what has come as the bigger surprise is the film Endhiran/Robot may have set a new record for Indian films in USA box office by taking in over $2 million for a 3 day weekend. That beats even the US opening weekend mark set by Shahrukh Khan's My Name is Khan, which failed to impress much in India, but took a big number in USA atleast at around $1.9 million for a 3 day weekend opening. But Endhiran has taken a bigger opening with its core audience in India and beaten the likes of Shah Rukh Khan starrer MNIK overseas in US also. The irony is Shahrukh Khan was also in consideration for Robot before Rajnikanth decided to make it. If the film can sustain, it may even catch 3I's mark of $6.5 million in US.

Nonetheless now the question will be how long does Endhiran show legs and how long before a Bollywood film takes back the opening bonanza marks. As mentioned earlier, a very large percentage of Tamil Nadu, and to a lesser extent Andhra Pradesh expatriates have shown up for Rajnikanth's Endhiran. If a similar percentage of Hindi states citizenry showed up en masse behind a Hindi movie, the opening generated would be much much bigger than Endhiran. But this kind of intensity in middle India can not be generated by a Karan Johar type overseas pseudo-pop cinema like Anjaana Anjaani or on the other extreme, a Raavan (Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai) type cultural inversion.

As for Ranbir Kapoor's Anjaana Anjani the film had a decent opening on Friday but the overseas set love story with Priyanka Chopra was losing steam by Sunday. It looks to have had about a 38-40 crore gross weekend.

Sudarsh, BoxofficeMojo is a credible source.. Ficus Movies is the Entertainment Company released Enthiran in US. But it was not listed in the Studios index of BOM. They will get information from the studios. May be Ficus is not reporting the box office details. There are many cases where the movie details are added in the later days..

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/studio/?view2=allstudios&view=company&p=.htm

Even in www.boxoffice.com Anjanaa Anjaani is missing. This source is taken by Rottentomatoes.com. This doesnt mean Endhiran did not collect anything.

The way I read it goes like this... Say for example, he says "I'll come" or "I won't come", and if time and tide gives other situations where he might have to change his decision. Can you imagine how the media and his haters will talk at that point? I think he's just trying to play it safe by not committing to any one answer!

One interesting point I found on an Enthiran review:

"Although, Sana ( Rai�s name in the film ) is worth dying for, If the single robot could create so many of his fellows with advanced coding for each, why couldn�t he create a robot of Sana and live with her happily ever after Even, the scientist would have helped the robot in it."

This Robot has got feelings and is in love with the true Sana. He wants the original, not the xerox.

The reason I'm so drawn to any Bollywood related item on Enthiran (Robot) is because, I really want those Bollywood "superstars" and the N. Indian fans that mock Rajini always to get the message!

I think most of them did get the message!

One advantage that aishwarya has over shreyas and tammus is that she looks old enough to be credible as a girlfriend of a scientist who is presumably in his forties or atleast late thirties given that he has spent 10 years in the middle of his career building a robot (presumably). This may be an accidental advantage that she provides.
(Ofcourse salman rushdie 20 somethingsai ushaar paNNuvaar - periya manushangalukku adhellaam jagajam irundhaalum assuming that the girlfriend of the scientist is close to his age is possible with raibacchan)

Above all, no detractor can say now that rajini pairs only with heroines half his age.

Review in HIndu

http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/article807284.ece

The iconic Superstar contributes a certain magic that is hard to explain. It�s more like a mother�s touch to home cooking that simply makes you want more.

It�s no secret that he developed his highly-stylised mannerisms to play the antagonist. He excelled in negative roles early on in his career � in classics like Avargal, Moondru Mudichu, Netrikann, and 16 Vayathiniley, but his transition into a mass hero meant toning down all those shenanigans on screen. The audience did get a glimpse of it in Chandramukhi�s �Vettaiyan Raja�.

But now, in the second half of Enthiran, Shankar unleashes a villain of such megalomaniac proportions that only Rajinikanth could pull off. It ends up being a master-class in theatrical over-expressive villainy that is almost a throwback to the days of M.N.Nambiar and Asokan.

Actors tend to get lost in special effects movies. But not so in Enthiran.

Saw Enthiran yesterday at PVR Cinemas.

First half was super cool and i would rate it as the best first half of all Shankar movies. Definitely a refreshing change for SS and he fits himself to the role with ease. Eventhough Chitti is earning all the accolades, i didnt find anything wrong with Vaseegaran's characterisation. All young heroes should take a leaf out of Rajni's book. A very ordinary intro but he still makes his presence felt.

The second half was a major disappointment. Having raised the expectation level to the max with a rollicking first half, Shankar played spoilsport with a poorly written second half. Except for Rajni and Rahman, the second half would've been unsittable. The last half an hour was a bit amateurish. There was no need of that '100 Rajnis' when Chitti himself was stealing the show.

Rajni was a rage. Kidaikkura gapla ellam sixer adikkuraaruppa. My dad, who is an MGR fan, was very much impressed with Chitti's performance. So did my mom and wife.

ARR was at his best. That train sequence BGM is my pick. Took that fight scene to a new level.

On the whole, the excitement and curiosity to watch the movie again - which i experienced after watching Sivaji - was definitely missing but still the film would break all the existing records in TFI.

I am hearing from my colleagues that the lowest rate in a multiplex is 450 and tickets not available till 12th. So I will be forced to buy in 'black' by paying more. And I do not want to spend more than 300 (no offence please) for a non-Kamal movie.

Rajnikanth fever grips the US

From: ajaybaskar on Tue Oct 5 5:35:09 2010.

The hour never matters. Its the desire to be with you that matters. That should never be determined by a clock. Irrespective of time and date and hour and condition, the connect to extended family is a must.

I am delayed because I went to see the event of the season - ROBOT ! Rajni had called yesterday from Chennai, was holding a show in Mumbai and as was his tradition wanted me to come over to see it along with other friends. And so we went and so we remained awe struck on what transpired and so we came back speechless on the experience. Aishwarya looked smashing and danced like she had never danced before. Rajni � what can one say for this man. He is just unbelievable. The film is a roller coaster ride of fun and ecstasy and events of mammoth proportions.

There was a large turn out from the industry - directors , producers, artists and all were simply blown to pieces by the product and its presentation. When you go to see a Rajni film, its not the film that you wish to see. You see the film for the experience of it. And in this one the experience is incredible. Merely putting his thoughts on paper must have been an exercise so desirable for the director Shankar. What and how did he think up all these ideas for the script from his mind is reason to envy and lament. Aamir after the show was over wanted to �eat his brain� - Shankars that is - to find out how he managed to conquer that world that he so effectively portrayed on screen.

During the shooting for BiggBoss 3, when I had been asked to play host to it, I had spent a night at the Fariyas Hotel in Lonavala after the finals were announced. Rajni was shooting there too and had dropped by to come and visit me in my room. It was there that I remember that Rajni had come over to my room for a short meet. He had seen �PAA� and was so anxious to meet up that we sat for some hours and jammed away regardless. We had spoken of music and challenge and change � and it would be wonderful if he bathed himself in complaining about , not going to the stage. Somehow after some time the film exploded and equally integrated were the comments that kept coming from time to time.

An incredible experience it was and I sincerely urge all those that reside in the world of Chennai to go see it first day first show. Rajni was incredible, Aishwarya was colorful and danced like a dream and content and delivery was simply extraordinary.

Its exactly 4:20 AM ! And I need to report to POWER by the morning hour �

So much for now � it is driving me to drop fast asleep here on the laptop itself ..

whatever shankar narrated to kamal, villain was there or not, even otherwise, i find moments of this movie and some characters foolish(my opinion)

i am happy that dasa made to indian top 10 even without a hindi release and the publicity enthiran enjoys. period

KG, did anyone here said anything against what you are explaining in your first para. We agree that even if Kamal has done it it would have been a big hit in BO. i very well remember the vasool chakravarthy "Indian" with Kamal and Shankar, and agree it would have been in a different dimension becos of Kamals inputs and performance.
But what I feel is it would not have pulled this much and would have had a bigger reach and reception like this.

you can very well disagree to that previous line, and then its your opinion like i said mine.

Exactly. I don't think Kamal rejected the script (which might have been different from the one we saw). It was SRK who rejected and he is now hiding inside his closet. Ra. One flopping badly would be the icing on the cake.

ET says Enthiran is a super hit
By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 05 October , 2010, 09:46

The leading business paper The Economic Times has reported that Enthiran and its Hindi version Robot has �grossed around Rs 50 Crore in its opening weekend in India�.

Most of the multiplex owners told the business daily: � Robot opening on Friday was 45 to 50 percent but picked up during Saturday and Sunday due to good word of mouth and firmed up around 85 percent which is fantastic for a dubbed film. On the other hand in south there is 100 percent occupancy and in some places tickets are sold in black for Rs 5000!�

The Enthiran wave is sweeping south India, and in Andhra its Telugu dubbed version Robot is a mega blockbuster. The trade says it has taken as big opening as all time super hit Maghadheera

Aamir Khan bowled over by Rajinikanth
Aamir Khan can�t stop raving about the superstar Rajinikanth. He wanted to see Endhiran, and the star got a chance to attend the film�s premiere in Mumbai along with several other B-town celebs. It seems his Rajini Sir is also a fan of him.

Before seeing the film Aamir posted on a social networking site, �Am most keen to see 'Robot'. Rajni sir rocks!�. In addition he wrote comments after comments in the mega star�s praise, �For those who don�t know, a few facts about Rajni sir: When Rajnikant does push ups, he isn't lifting himself up, he is pushing the earth down. Rajnikant divide by zero. Rajnikant delete the recycle bin. Rajnikant can slam a revolving door. Rajnikant once kicked a horse in the chin, its descendants are today called giraffes.�

The success of Endhiran - Robot is stupendous in its opening days, but many have complained about the length of the film. Tusshar Kapoor tweets, �...quite a fun film but a bit long. Rajni looks young and energetic even at this age. No wonder he�s such a superstar.�

Actor Ritesh Deshmukh, in complete awe of the superstar, writes: �Superstar Rajni! He is a phenomenon. Action in 'Robot' is just what you want to watch as a Rajni fan. Go watch it now - a bit long but worth it.�

Well, this is for the first time in Rajinikanth�s career that he is promoting his film. The man was recently in Mumbai for the promotions and even held a special screening of the film in the city. He also went on a TV channel to promote Endhiran which is also India�s most expensive film made on an approximate budget of Rs 175 crore.

SS,
Hey, no offence mate. I see your point.
But with Kamal, it'd readily pass as superior film, and you'd have theories on Asimov/Oedipus Rex, etc - it'd be taken so seriously that it'd be acknowledged a bonafide Sci-Fi Epic. Because as much as Enthiran is phenomenal success, it's seen as a Rajini vehicle by some (especially those who lazily rehash Chuck Norris jokes), so as to think it loses some of its merits. I personally disagree tho, coz I don't think it's a typical Rajini film in any sense.

ur point is valid in South.
as far as what i have seen and heard from my NI colleagues, they dont see Kamal that way and most of the time i have seen them ignoring him. and these guys dont sport a typical NI attitude but show some respect.

SS,
It's not about going to watch the film, but the assumption that what would be of fine quality. And what would not be. Could you imagine that Indian would have won NA with any other South Indian actor? But with the baggage that a Kamal film that inherently has finer aspects to it, made it both financially successful, and made it into awards/recognition.

Sarna,
There's nothing to "try" here. It's as blatant as it could be. You just have to go a Google search to get complex theories about Dasa. Now that's not a film that I liked.

I dont know, why Kamal turned down this movie. He should have givne top priority and done it. I think it is a big mistake on his part!

From: Nerd on Tue Oct 5 10:40:31 2010.

And which part of it do you disagree with? His example was Indian. It would have been an ordinary film (BB, no doubt) but NA, excellent critical reception etc. is only because it had Kamal in it. Adhaavadhu, 'Kamal irukkaar padathula perisaa edhO irukkum multiple layers' against 'Rajini padam dhaanE, mass marana mass just a surface film'. And He dint say it was HIS opinion, he said its the general perception.

If i'm not wrong, Kid does not mean it as a compliment to Kamal. What he is saying is that there is a "baggage" that a Kamal film would be superior - a perception.

Bala - but who are these critics who give estraa points to Indian because Kamal is in it. Kamal or no Kamal, there is no subtext to mine in Indian. And he made it quite clear that he was *just an actor* in that movie and it was Shankar's baby through and through.

Actually, Rajini stands a good chance for a NA next year(for the same reason Kamal got for Indian), unless Ramesh Chippis infiltrate the NA committee and give it out to Junior for Raavan. Or, Johar cronies infiltrate and give it to Ranbeer for some or the other movie.

No, nobody (incl probably Rajini himself) takes Rajini seriously when it comes to *acting* post mullum malarum. Best entertainment film of the year, confirmed. I am not saying this perf is NA worthy, but he won't be considered, at all.

From: Sarna on Tue Oct 5 10:51:05 2010.

Nerd, Bala, ok

but regarding Indian, IIRC Kamal himself said that Indian is a Shanker movie and Kamal just acted in it...
Now for Endhiran, Rajini said same.... Its Shanker movie and he acted in it.

Now, how can one say because of Kamal, Indian is Superior ?

Can "Endhiran" make RM20 million?

By Sivarasa Sothivadivel
4 Oct � The weekend box office belonged to revered actor Rajnikanth as his Tamil blockbuster "Endhiran" (variants: "Enthiran", "Robot", "Robo") grossed in excess of RM3 million across more than 100 Malaysian screens for the weekend just gone, while Facebook movie "The Social Network" topped the U.S. charts with an estimated gross of US$ 23 million. The latter opens in Malaysia this 11 November.

A Rajnikanth lookalike at the TGV CapSquare premiere of "Endhiran" last week, which also VIPs like David Teo and Yusof Haslam in attendance
Sources within Lotus Five Star AV have confirmed that they are expecting a 100-day run and a total gross of RM20 million if Rajnikanth fans throw their support behind the Kollywood giant.

Many cinemagoers have been bombarding the cinema chains on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter with pre-sales enquiries prior to the opening day. Fortunately, there was no repeat of the "Sivaji" fiasco two years ago where problems with the digital download of the movie resulted in delayed or cancelled shows and a horde of angry patrons, which in turn resulted in public mayhem involving police intervention.

Cinema showtimes for "Endhiran" were also the most viewed on Cinema Online's website, with more than 50,000 unique page views by the opening day. Leading chain GSC also reported a spectacular spike in their Facebook activity notification, mostly attributed to anxious fans who were waiting for reservations to open for the monster title.

Two Rajnikanth fans Maheshan, 24, and Hariharan, 19, made their way from Rawang to TGV CapSquare when they couldn't get tickets to Pawagam Sun in Rawang on the opening day
Lotus Five Star State PJ registered sold out halls for almost every show over the weekend for "Endhiran". No untoward incidents were reported.

Patrons came to GSC MidValley as early as 9am before the cinema opened on a Saturday morning to try for better tickets
Local rapper Yogi B came with singer Reshmonu and was led up onstage to comment on the Rajnikanth movie

Filmmakers Farid Kamil & Pierre Andre came to watch "Endhiran"
"Endhiran" was the generally the fastest selling movie across all cinemas playing it
At the TGV CapSquare premiere of "Endhiran" last Thursday night, a host of local filmmakers showed up to witness the undeniable box office phenomenon, including David Teo, Yusof Haslam, Afdlin Shauki, Farid Kamil and Pierre Andre. The proceedings were officiated by Chief Minister of Perlis Datuk Seri Md Isa Sabu and also Lotus Five Star strongmen Dato' Doraisingam and Garuna Murthee.

On a related matter, industry sources confirm that six cinemas under the banner of Big Cinemas Lotus Five Star will revert to their original Lotus Five Star management from 7 October onwards, namely Butterworth, Tasik Skudai, Broadway, Klang, Selayang and Bukit Jambul.

In other news, U.S. No.1 box office hit "The Town" starring Ben Affleck which was due to open in Malaysia this week has been pushed by Warner Bros. Malaysia to December while recently "Scott Pilgrim vs The World" has been recently taken off the Malaysian and Singaporean release schedule.

Other lesser releases that debuted last weekend in Malaysia include "Charlie St Cloud", "Detective Dee", "Tiran Mati Di Ranjang", "Blood Ties", "Alpha And Omega" and a limited release independent movie at GSC International Screens called "The Joshua Tapes".

The Hindi version of "Endhiran", titled "Robo", is currently playing at TGV CapSquare only.

This kind of Villain roles, only Rajni can pull it off The best scene is 'mayhh..meah...' what a performance...

The dialogue delivery during that 'seeta piraati' scene was awesome... sema flow...
From: salaam_chennai on Tue Oct 5 13:29:28 2010.

Finally watched Endhiran.

First things first, Chitti 1.0 was awesome. Thalaivar supera pannirundhar. I thoroughly enjoyed chitti's dialogue/interaction with humans. "kadavul" dialogue scene and the hug followed by that gave me goosebumps. For me, that scene compensated for not having a mass intro. Train fight and aadhi parasalthi scene were pure fun.

Vasi character should have been a cakewalk for Thalaivar but in some scenes i felt something was missing. romba underplay pannitaronu oru feel.

Evil Chitti sema alapparai. andha evil laugh kaagave innoro vaati padam paakalaam. Overall, the movie was superstar's show all the way.

Shankar... raasa ya nee. you can never disappoint me. Only compalin is climax could have been little shorter and evil chitti should have had more Rajini histrionics.

Since it was already 4th day and the show was at 10.45 pm, i thought there wont be much fan frenzy. I was in there for a big surprise, the crowd was unbelievable, even before they opened the door, namma pasanga full whistle and sema aarpaattam. Kadhal anukkal slow motion walk and aadhi parasakthi pose got the maximum response. The crowd went mad for the black sheep scene too.

Most of my telugu collegues watched the movie and looks like it is having a very good word of mouth. I think it will be a big hit in Telugu. I am watching Robot(Telugu) tommorrow, waiting to see how the response is.

Not sure if this is irony or just the wheel of life...

In his 30s, he goes to Bollywood to give a shot, ends up with failures and returns with a lot of embarassment and rejection! Mockery from the industry and the "audience" is what he got from that phase!

At 60, his dubbed Tamil movie is making waves in the same Bollywood, with the audience and media going gaga over his Superstardom, and the directors wanting to direct him!

What a victory from his side!

Chennai Box-Office- October 1 to 3
Tuesday, 05 October , 2010, 19:31

Rajinikanth�s Enthiran has taken Chennai by storm. Out of 100 screens in Chennai city and its suburbs,, nearly 80 were screening the Sun Picture produced, Shankar directed entertainment extravaganza. The film has taken the Box Office cake, leaving last week�s number one Boss Engira Baskaran with a handful of shows in limited screens!

This week, the CBO feels that other films are irrelevant. And from No.1 to No.5, it is Rajinikanth�s Enthiran all the way. Case in point, a multiplex that was to screen an English film for an evening show cancelled it, and played a special corporate show of the Rajinikant entertainer!

Rajinikanth�s Enthiran playing at close to 50 screens had 100 % occupancy, as most of the tickets were pre-sold. Sun Pictures and the distributor are yet to come out with official figures, but the trade buzz is that in three days the film would've taken a share of around Rs Two crores, which is excellent!

Enthiran
Cast: Rajinikanth, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Danny, Santhanam, Karunas
Director: Shankar
Rajinikanth, Shankar�s packaging, Aishwarya Rai, and technical wizardry
Could have been a little more crisp
Trade Facts: Mega blockbuster opening

I realized something similar in both Endhiran and Sivaji. The scene is where in Sivaji when Rajni tells his plan to build hospitals and colleges and the villain Suman watches and in Endhiran, when Rajini introduces Chitti, Danny is there. Then in both the movies, the villain gives a smile and turn towards the camera and the villain BGM. This scene is similar in both the movies.Shankar's touch perhaps.

Finally watched Endhiran.

First things first, Chitti 1.0 was awesome. Thalaivar supera pannirundhar. I thoroughly enjoyed chitti's dialogue/interaction with humans. "kadavul" dialogue scene and the hug followed by that gave me goosebumps. For me, that scene compensated for not having a mass intro. Train fight and aadhi parasalthi scene were pure fun.

Vasi character should have been a cakewalk for Thalaivar but in some scenes i felt something was missing. romba underplay pannitaronu oru feel.

Evil Chitti sema alapparai. andha evil laugh kaagave innoro vaati padam paakalaam. Overall, the movie was superstar's show all the way.

Shankar... raasa ya nee. you can never disappoint me. Only compalin is climax could have been little shorter and evil chitti should have had more Rajini histrionics.

Since it was already 4th day and the show was at 10.45 pm, i thought there wont be much fan frenzy. I was in there for a big surprise, the crowd was unbelievable, even before they opened the door, namma pasanga full whistle and sema aarpaattam. Kadhal anukkal slow motion walk and aadhi parasakthi pose got the maximum response. The crowd went mad for the black sheep scene too.

Most of my telugu collegues watched the movie and looks like it is having a very good word of mouth. I think it will be a big hit in Telugu. I am watching Robot(Telugu) tommorrow, waiting to see how the response is.

We of the Bollywood habit, not blessed as often by this man�s screen-conquering presence, roll our eyes and laugh and make Chuck Norris jokes. Yet a film from this man, a smirk, a swagger, a line of ridiculously contrived dialogue, come as opiate to millions of people. We routinely celebrate escapism in our cinema, but Rajni stands higher up on this peak than any man in Hindi cinema. Is he then India�s biggest star? Please. He�s too big for competition. Even with a heroine who can�t act, he�s delivering the country�s biggest hit, the mediocrity simply bouncing off his bulletproof grin. Smashing.

Oh, and like the very best superheroes, he doesn�t wear a cape.

Superstar Rajinikanth who is in Mumbai promoting his Robot, met Shiva Sena chief Bal Thackeray at his Bandra residence and got his blessings.

The previous night Rajinikanth had organised one of the biggest premiers ever held at a multiplex in MumbaI. The Bachchan family, Aamir Khan and top actors and directors of Bollywood attended the Robot show.

From: ajaybaskar on Wed Oct 6 6:04:17 2010.

Dear Friends,

I would like share one of my most memorable moments in my life.

Life at most times makes you sit and watch the way you have fought yourself to achieve something in life. I presume that this day happens to be the most exciting and eventful day of my career. When you are accorded respect and rewarded by the same person who is instrumental in choosing your career gives it away to you, what more could you expect. A day which would go a long way in my life and deeply etched in my heart not because of the reward but because of the person who accorded it. Rajini sir epitomizes hard work and humility and to receive an award from him and specifically awarded for working with him and his family make this award a very special one.

To receive an award from such an illustrious person makes me more committed to my existing work flow and humbles me as a person to achieve more. Life has been so kind to me with being able to serve such greats in a field of my choice. This inspires me to work lot more to all those who want me to work for them. Thank you and I wish to assure you that I will be there for you always.

Thanks,

let me try once.
just becos guru posted something against kamal, do u have to take it at all the rajini fans and this thread....
dont u know the regular rajini fans here and how they are posting all these days? did any of them provoke kamal or his fans here?
or anything like this happened during dasa or upo thread by any rajini fan and for that you are takinga revenge here?

anyway, i dont want to spoil my relationship with any of the hubbers here, so let me take a back seat until such things settle down.

Quote:

Like all Rajini films, this one relies on dialogues and punch lines delivered in the way that he tells them. So quite predictably, the essence of the film gets lost when it is translated to Hindi or viewed with English subtitles.

The inimitable Rajini does not disappoint, as he delivers punch line after punch line in the way that only he can. Who better than him to

As of now, Robo(Endhiran)- telugu version is running houseful shows in more than 50+ theatres(excluding multiplex). This week Kaleja(oct 8th) is releasing and its replacing Robo in very few theatres( <10).... so from next week, I hope Robo will run (>80% occupancy) in more than 40+ theatres, since WOM is very good here .

Next week(Oct 15th), brindhavanam is releasing If kaleja flops, then Brindhavanam will replace Kaleja in many theatres or If Kaleja becomes hit like Robo, then theatre owners will be forced to replace Robo with Brindavanam or they may postpone Brindhavanam release

But with stiff competition with DIRECT TELUGU MOVIES, ROBO is doing excellent business. If there were no stiff competition, ROBO would have re-written box-office in AP.

Telugu ROBOT is doing as good as Endhiran in US.
I didn't see this much response for BOSS..... It has very good WOM.
Even Hindi ROBOT is atleast talked about here among NI folks.

As expected in B & C centers Endhiran is performing very ordinarily.
Not sure if it is due to spectra wide release or sky high ticket prices.
Seems like they don't care much about B & C anymore. Also not sure if SUN pictures has released w/o MG just leasing theatres, in which case they may not be affected (theatre owners).

I think B centres are still good and I don't think this movie is released in c centres yet.

For Paramu's question

Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Trichy and Salem are considered to be A Centres in Tamilnadu for distributors. All other major cities are B centres.For example(Tirunelveli, Erode, Vellore, tiruppur and everything else). Typically Villages are c centres and usually the movies won't be released in the first run. People from that area will be usually watching this movie in nearby A or B centres.

From: Nerd on Wed Oct 6 10:06:39 2010.

In Trichy, it has been released in 5 centers and is doing very well in Ramba, Kalai Arangam and Cauvery with matinee/1st/2nd shows running to full houses even on week days. In Oorvasi the morning shows are practically empty.

Thanjavur, which is a Rajini forte, I mean it because I saw Baba on the 52nd day (matinee, weekday) and the show was housefull. The film has been released in 5 centers and is doing very well. The new big cinemas and jupiter are enjoying housefull shows.

And once the ticket prices go down, we ll see an improvement, throughout the world in fact. Even in the USA many will watch it again once the ticket prices are around $10. Its still $20 for the second week.

From: Parthyy on Wed Oct 6 10:10:32 2010.

Sorry guys for the delayed review from my side..
Though I saw the movie on friday afternoon...due to my personal work..
In one word a visual extravanza with some flaws in second half....
I like first half very much...as said mosquito and kalabavan mani scene are ridiculous,unnecessary.First half seems to be very interesting,funny at time engaged very vell.
And Secong half got loopholes,lacked something like soul like in first half
Lack of gripping screenplay in second half though visually and techically outperformed the flaws.
I felt lost complete energy when I left the hall....as If no more Sci-Fci in future enjoyed every bit of last 40 minutes thatswhy I felt exhausted.
.Rajini pulled off the every character well though chitti being the favourite.Aish looked gorgeous.
As usual ARR rocked in every scene though few times sounded noisy.
Climax symphony is world class like music done for battle,wars.
It is a Shankar film in which Rajini acted.
On the whole best Indian version of Sci-Fic movies.Mega Blockbuster

very baed

In Trichy, it has been released in 5 centers and is doing very well in Ramba, Kalai Arangam and Cauvery with matinee/1st/2nd shows running to full houses even on week days. In Oorvasi the morning shows are practically empty.

Thanjavur, which is a Rajini forte, I mean it because I saw Baba on the 52nd day (matinee, weekday) and the show was housefull. The film has been released in 5 centers and is doing very well. The new big cinemas and jupiter are enjoying housefull shows.

And once the ticket prices go down, we ll see an improvement, throughout the world in fact. Even in the USA many will watch it again once the ticket prices are around $10. Its still $20 for the second week.

what is the ticket price in trichy and thanjavur.

SS, adutha pandithar report. I found from tuitter. This is from equanimus:

Quote:

Endhiran was alright. The elaborate action scenes was a bit of an ordeal to sit through. The 1st half was more fun than the 2nd, I thought.

Chitti 2.0 lights up the screen in the 2nd half, but I'd have preferred less autopilot action and more genuine Rajini moments.

TA - Trichy it was 250 for the first 3 days. Now its ranges between 90 and 125 for weekday shows. I don't know about Thanjavur, will ask the source and confirm.

Ridiculous. Madurai also same range. Looking at that they want to make sure that the movie is profitable within two weeks for everyone. They are very lucky that this strategy worked out.

the review of equa sounds positive to me, he doesn look much angry with shankar as he is supposed to be.
