So much was expected and so little was delivered. Although I am not a big fan of this type of film, I absolutely loved The Terminator and Alien. Unlike these two films, Endhiran failed to involve me emotionally with any of the characters; in the end, I didn't care who lived or died.
It was also hard to digest the pairing of Aishwarya and Rajnikanth. I cringed every time they touched. In all of India, could they not find a younger actor to play this role? And did the character of Sana really need to be a college student? Additionally, the movie was excruciatingly long. Was the mosquito scene really needed? And the scene where the robot helps a woman in delivering her baby looked so fake that I was embarrassed for the director; if it can't be well done, then why bother doing it? This did not really add anything to the story. Also, the climax went on and on and on and on and on and on. I mean, get it over already! I know a lot of people love this kind of action, but enough is enough.
The script was illogical in parts. When Dr. Vasigaran decides to do away with Chitthi, he cuts him up in pieces, then throws it in the trash. Should he not have removed a computer chip or something? Is this not how he dismantles the bad robot in the end? And how did the robot end up in the bad scientist's car? When did he have time to create so many replicas of himself? It seemed to take Dr. Vasigaran forever to create just one.
And now for the music. I suppose that the songs were suitable for this type of movie but I did not find one memorable song in the bunch. I mean this is A.R. Rahman we're talking about! I also thought that the transition to the songs were so badly done, it was almost like a jolt to the system. As for Aishwarya's dancing, that was the only thing that I enjoyed in the whole movie. It has been a long time since she has done so much dancing and she is so good at this. I must say however that I much prefer it when she dances a traditional Indian dance than this modern stuff.
So, all in all, 2 out of 10 for Aishwarya's dancing!
