Review of Enthiran

Enthiran (2010)
6/10
Expected a lot. Too much Masala stuff
18 October 2010
This movie has once again shown that Tamil industry is going nowhere. I mean come on, I expected a lot from this movie. But once again lot of marketing strategy marred the movie. I have been a fan of Kamal and Rajini (almost all of Balachander's) for a long time. Rajini has sure got talent but I cant stand it anymore of it being completely misused.

Aishwarya Rai in this movie is just being used to show up and for songs(the glamor factor). Of late almost all of tamil movies does it. They have no roles for Heroine. They base their movies solely on Hero and what more they add more spicy stuff to the movie.

As famous Vivek Dialogue goes "We even make Jackie Chan to speak Madras Tamil". Now we made, what should be a serious, breathtaking, feverish movie into a masala mix. Unless we stop bringing stuff into a movie just because of the external pressure to do so, Tamil Industry is gonna struggle. Probably most people would understand it's about the songs. This movie doesn't warrant the kind of songs it has.

Neither Shivaji nor Endhiran were Shankar-isque or Rajini-isque movies. Just like Kamal did in Dasavatharam, these two have made a mistake of allowing the character to compensate the plot. Hope my two greats Rajini and Legendary Kamal come back to their own.
