ANALYSIS
The major important thing that a director should have is "Visualizing his creations in his mind".I think it perfectly matches to director SHANKAR.The real hero for this film is Shankar.He thinks BIG & executes perfectly.He exactly knows what he want.The Robo establishes the fact once again.He is a perfectionist who has command on all fields.He utilizes the technology very well.He has never faced a failure till now.He has an outstanding imaginative & creative power and grip on technology.HIs film's budget are high and collections too.
Coming to the story,Robo is not a typical rajnikanth masala film.It is a science fiction film.The introduction scene of rajnikanth shows this fact. He was introduced without hype.Shankar went to the script straight away and established the relation b/w rajni & aish cleverly without showing how they fell in love.After making the robot ,the things done by chitti brings some laughs.But the narration in the first half is average and u wouldn't feel vow.
The second half picks up momentum and the last 25 minutes of the film is spell bounding.The graphics are simply
superb.The climax scene in which the chitti dematerializes himself by giving message to the humans is heart touching.On the whole the robot doesn't give what you expect but surely it wont disappoint you.
On the flip side,it wont connect to the hard core masses as it is basically a sci-fi film.It needs knowledge to understand a film like this.To cover this,shankar cleverly coated the commercial elements for masses and graphics to kids.
Coming to the cast Shankar first went to Sharukh and then to rajni.Shankar chose rajni for his selfish purpose because the market that rajni has.The script like this need a charismatic actor with huge market not the acting capabilites.But rajnikanth has given a wonderful performance as robot and he did a lot of homework for that.Definetely he deserves an applause for his hardwork in this age.
Aishwarya is not only an actor but an excellent dancer.The grace in her dance is outstanding.she did her justice to the role.Danny denzogpa is excellent .The voice dubbed to him is very good.Music by a.r.rahman is nice and it is picturized well .Two of them were canned at peru,machu pichu.Art work done by sabu cyril needs a special mention here.He is simply amazing.It needs a lot of creativity and homework.Excellent sound affects were given by rasool pokotty.Cinematography by ratna velu is excellent.Stunts are good.Dialogues are filled with humour and message oriented. kalanithi maran who produced this deserves a standing ovation for producing a film like this.He put confidence on shankar and gave what he want.kudos to him.
FINAL VERDICT:
"ROBOT" is not a spell bounding and Magnum Opus movie when it is compared to its budget. But it is a GOOD MOVIE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH.It shows the stamina of Indian cinema especially the south indian cinema to the world.SHANKAR opened a different gate in the history of indian cinema.IT IS GOING TO BREAK ALL BOX OFFICE RECORDS OF INDIAN CINEMA.GO FOR IT AND WATCH IT IN YOUR NEAREST CINEMAS.
MY RATING:3.25/5
TAIL PIECE:
I opted for web technologies in my 3-2 elective.But on seeing this film i changed my opinion to artificial intelligence.
