Chitty ko chitthi!!

Today’s day would go down in the annals of History in Golden letters. Today I understood why Rajni Boss is a superstar! Today I got to know the stuff that the Boss is made of. I would call it stuff because I do not have any other words to describe his composition! He is God, he is divine, he is great, he is invincible, he is AWESOME and he is simply superb! He is the show stealer and the ethereal beauty of Aishwarya is dwarfed in front of his magnanimous screen presence!

Enthiran aka ROBOT starts with a bang and ends with a louder bang that is sure to resonate in our hearts for a long time to come. The great scientist Vasi makes Chitty – an andro-humanoid robot who is devoid of all human emotions. This robot fights gracefully and beats up the living daylights of goons resembling hippopotamuses and rhinoceroses. He runs on the side of the local train – perpendicular to the pull of gravity – at full speed! The indefatigable fellow saves the heroine at several occasions. He is water resistant, fire resistant, has females drooling all over him and guess what, he runs after a mosquito just to steal a kiss from his lady love once he is struck by lightning both literally and figuratively! In girl language that would all be termed as plain and simple CUTE!

For the first time I could make some sense out of what Rajni was doing. For the first time all his gravity defying and physics thwarting actions could be concluded as sane – that is simply because he is a ROBOT! A lovelorn one though, but anything and everything is justified, it is Rajnikanth on the celluloid screen. He sizzles, sets the silver on fire, and delivers an amazing chemistry with Aishwarya, delivers a baby (oh yeah, when an engineer Rancho can do so, so can Chitty, and guys he delivers so with a bang! – actually it makes you cry and laugh at the same time simply because of the incredulity of the situation!) And yes creates another 100+ guys, oops humanoids like him who rock the earth with conjugated stun guns used like childish Diwali crackers and uses two large LPG trucks to dispel the traffic! The climax is simply breathtaking and for the first time in years did I sit on the edge of my seat, ready to scream out loud as soon as something remarkable happens. And oh, did I miss mentioning that this sitting on the edge and screams and claps and laughter went through the entire length and breadth of the movie?

We enjoyed every bit of it – the lovely locales of Machu Pichu, the funny songs (Tamil songs in Hindi = SUPER FUN! Imagine – chhoti bosi??? What the hell is that supposed to mean!), the seemingly indestructible robotic formations in the end and the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai! The costumes and music, the sets and special effects, they are all complete PAISA VASOOL! Enthiran is a complete package – you have Romance, Comedy, Action, Suspense, Music, Songs, Science, Awesome locales – Expensive sets, Great performances –you name it you got it! It weaves a magic web, a spell that no one else but the Boss can break, only when he wants to!

I would wrap it up by saying – Rajni Sir you rock!!!!!!

PS: IT was nostalgic! The climax was shot near TCS Siruseri! I could see our building right behind the gigantic running ROBOT! Miss you Chennai!
