    An answer to Hollywood's Avataar

    One of the best movies ever made by Indian film industry and Mr. Shankar proved it again that he is the best storyteller of the movie world who very intelligently sew the advanced technology of CG with the story.

    The Best movie of the century and it deserves to go for the Oscars.

    Everything was perfect

    A.R.Rehman music and background score blended superbly with the movie

    Rajnikant.Neither Kuma Nor Khan It's Kanth - RajniKanth.

    Aishwarya as usual talent with beauty

    If Hollywood have avatar then India has robot.

    Rajini...the one and the only SUPERSTAR

    Can you always get the best results with the best ingredients? The answer is YES, YOU CAN. Provided you have an actor/superstar who listens to his director, an actress/global celebrity who just glows on screen throughout the movie and if the big budget is totally justified.

    All the credit for this extravagant movie goes to Shankar Shanmugam. The man is an absolute genius. His creativity reaches great heights with this movie and elevates the Indian movie standard to an all time high. With every movie of his, the scale of movie-making grows tremendously. He got the best technology money can buy. Looks like the majority of the budget is spent on Animatronics and this movie has got plenty of that.

    Rajinikanth is magnificent in this movie. In fact, he is the movie. He adds life to every single frame created by Shankar. Aishwarya does what she does best, look GORGEOUS.She has some pretty slick dance moves in the songs.

    The Animatronics are the best you could find in any movie so far and not just an Indian movie. The songs are spectacular. Shankar shows the audience some of the best places in the world all for a few bucks. The locations are mind-blowing and totally unique to this movie. Shankar handpicked the locations for the songs and they are shot on a grand scale. The music is haunting and highly entertaining.

    This movie will surely become one of the biggest movies ever made in India and without a doubt bring in a lot of moolah to the producers, distributors and the exhibitors all around the world.

    Rajinikanth redefines super stardom. Truly, a legend of a man.

    Superb action packed movie with stunning graphics

    Enthiran will keep u by your seats till the end.The movie plot is decent and the superb directing by Shankar along with our superstar Rajini's acting makes this a masterpiece.....

    I saw this movie on first day at pondicherry and i never seen a crowd like this before.

    The film's story revolves around a scientist's struggle to control his creation, an android robot whose processor was upgraded to give it the ability to comprehend and generate human emotions, from further sociological mishaps. After setting its eyes upon a beautiful woman, the robot develops love for her, who also happens to be the love interest of the scientist, which creates a conflict between the two. It released worldwide on 1 October 2010...........

    A must see film...............

    Will make history in the Indian Cinema

    Enthiran movie is going to make history in the Indian Cinema. The south Indian superstar once again gonna rock in the Indian theaters as well as in the foreign theaters where superstars fans assemble to witness his extraordinary acting with his attractive style. The ace director Shankar has did his best to make his wild imaginations to come into reality by using his technicians and the Stan Winston studio in US which no other Indian film has made its entry into it. Superstar Rajinikanth is in the negative role again after decades which is going to entertain and fulfill the hype and expectation to all his die hard fans around the globe Aish, Oscar winner AR Rahman have given the best to ensure this movie to make history. The action sequence in the movie is going to keep the audience at the tip of their seats till the end of the movie. Sit relaxed and enjoy the movie!!! Wishing the Superstar and his unit a grand success by making the first Indian Sci-fi movie to compete with the Hollywood blockbusters.

    Not a Master Piece but a Path Breaking with its Breath taking Visuals.

    Rajini Kanth

    Magic: Whats Magic? Its a Power to make you sit and watch a Person is doing and here it is... Its Sheer magic of Rajini. He had given us a Completely new Indian film. This Movie will prove in all ways, who is the super star of India.

    Endhrian Movie Review

    You would have heard about Western Style, Western Movie etc.. Now, here after there is one more, That is Eastern, its Eastern Style, the RAJINI Style. Rajini and Shankar will always be remembered as the Persons responsible for making a movie that will literally reduce the gap between Hollywood and Indian Movies. They are responsible for the Giant Step Tamil Film Industry had taken.

    Endhiran is Indian and is Desi meets western and let we call the new genre of film making as Eastern.

    The Highlight of the Endhrian is its Special Effects, that you can match this movie with any Hollywood movies. Yes this movie is - perhaps the first Indian Science Fiction movie which is successful and high in Special EFX. Here all Spidar Man, Hancock, Hulk, Superman become one man and its amazing that for the first time we are going to accept an Indian Desi Hancock. Its hard to identify Special Efx used in most of the Scenes. The Special Efx in the last 45 Minutes is breath taking and very creative, not taken or inspired from any Hollywood movies like Blade or I Robot or Spider Man or Hancock. He had introduced a new Genre and which is going to be repeated in the future, this movie is going to inspire many and many Future Indian film Directors.

    The Movie is Big, Grand and Explosive. Final 15 or 20 Minutes will keep you at the edge of your seat. You will witness the greatest ever SP EFX Indian Movie or even Asian movie.

    Dialogues: Dialoges are very good and easy to understand for anybody. Its simple and convey the message easily. Eg:

    Person 1: Do God Exist? Chitti: What you mean by GOD? Person 1: Our Creator. Chitti: Then, Yes, (Pointing Vaseegaran) he is my God, my Creator.

    On the whole: The Movie is going to break all kind of Indian Box Office records. The movie has everything, whatever the Team had promised before. Great achievement by SUN Pictures and S Shankar.

    Look out for the Final 20 Minutes, the Magnetic EFX, the Giant ROBO, The Snake, Rajini's Dialoges and his Face expressions in the last quarter.

    This movie is not a Masterpiece but is Path Breaking with its breath Taking Visuals. The film is a Visual Treat and technically way ahead of any Indian Movies.
