Pop culture obsessives writing for the pop culture obsessed. I will try to be as inoffensive as my lazy American sensibilities will allow. But Chitti comes to his defense—thank God he has those human-emotion thingies, right?—with this logic bomb: “If a machine malfunctions and humans die, it is not murder, it’s an accident.” He then offers to dismantle himself instead… but not before giving a lecture on the human nature of evil that basically boils down to “I learned it from watching you, Dad!”. Things start out well enough: Chitti takes flowers to the dead girl’s grave and helps Sana’s friend through a difficult labor and delivery, which he learned how to do by scanning Sana’s medical books. Those special effects were done by Stan Winston Studios (of Jurassic Park, Aliens, Terminator, and more) and Industrial Light And Magic. Dr. Vaseegaran creates a super-intelligent robot named Chitti, designed in his own likeness. We hope you find what you are searching for! When Vaseegaran saves her, their love is rekindled, and they celebrate by dancing at Machu Picchu and singing a song equating love and cannibalism: While they’re busy dancing, Dr. Bohra rescues what’s left of Chitti from the dump and reassembles him, adding his own modification—a “destruction program”—to make him a killing machine.

Obviously, there’s a major cultural gap between Indian and American cinema that’s going to give movies from that region a patina of “otherness” that results in alienated giggling from Westerners (and, presumably, vice-versa).
Who would have thought one could mix Bollywood and Scifi. Sometimes, even The A.V. Enthiran is the most expensive (around $38 million U.S.) and highest-grossing (roughly $82 million U.S) film in Indian history. The plot line is interesting, but ultimately there are too many flaws in the movie to make it enjoyable. When Vaseegaran presents Chitti in front of a panel from the Artificial Intelligence Research And Development Institute, his former mentor and current bad-dude, Dr. Bohra (who’s trying and failing to develop his own super-robot to sell to terrorists) manages to confuse Chitti, causing the robot to almost stab Vaseegaran, thus proving that Chitti does not conform to Asimov’s laws. This isn’t just some random Indian movie that happened to stumble into the American consciousness; it’s the Indian blockbuster, essentially the Avatar of Tamil cinema (often referred to as “Kollywood,” the South Indian cousin of Bollywood). A brilliant scientist creates a humanoid robot to protect mankind, but things go awry when human emotions are programmed and inner turmoil causes the robot to switch sides. How much of the experience wasn’t a total waste of time: It depends on how much you like Indian-language musical numbers. His co-star in Enthiran is a former Miss World, and probably the only Indian film star recognizable to American audiences, Aishwarya Rai. Action scenes were very creative and fun to watch.
And there’s certainly a WTF quality to the whole thing—see: that mosquito sequence—that lends itself well to quippy group viewing in the MST3K vein. It can be loosely defined as a science-fiction/action movie, yes, but it’s also an Indian movie made for Indian audiences, which means it gives over a lot—and I mean a lot—of time to the chaste romance between Rajinikanth and Rai, as well as many musical numbers. Sana attempts to distract him by flirting with another man in front of him, but she nearly get raped—for the second time in the movie, by the way. But perhaps viewing Enthiran in its entirety would provide more context and deeper cultural appreciation for something that has entertained millions of people around the world.

They all had major personality flaws that made it difficult to care about them. Club isn’t impervious to the sexy allure of ostensible cultural garbage. And yet most Western audiences are only familiar with it through a 10-minute YouTube clip they guffawed at with coworkers over lunch one day. Directed by S. Shankar. Just pretend you’ve gone back in time 15 years or so, and it will seem much more impressive. If You're Happy President Trump Tested Positive for COVID-19, You're Just as Bad as He Is, Black Man Who Spoke in Support of Police Fatally Shot by Texas Police Officer, If Your iPhone’s Battery Is Evaporating With iOS 14, You Are Not Alone, Morally Reprehensible Man Apologizes for the Millionth Time, So, Who Else Thinks the White House Is Totally Pulling a. Taken in synopsis form, Enthiran sounds pretty good: It manages to combine moral issues, a love triangle, and whiz-bang action sequences. hdmoviesfree.pw is your first and best source for all of the information you’re looking for. Second, I don’t speak Tamil—one of many reasons I’m not well-versed in Indian cinema—which means I had to watch a subtitled copy of Enthiran that didn’t display the most nuanced grasp of the English language, so I’m going to mostly avoid discussing the dialogue, as I’m sure some things have been lost in translation. Thankfully, Vaseegaran remembered to add a “destroy all robots” function to Chitti’s interface, and he manages to dispose of the robo-army and remove Chitti’s destruction chip. Travelling or based outside United States? And the pacing is interminable, at least for Western audiences used to smash-cuts and 80-minute run times, rather than 15 seconds of Rai making sad faces from different angles: As for the action: If you’ve seen that YouTube clip, you’ve seen the best of it. But Sana’s frequent giggling and kisses on the cheek begin to have an effect on Chitti, and he falls for her, leading to many awkward discussions about the ethics of human-robo love and the feasibility of robo-sapien offspring, as well as this weird sequence where Chitti proves his love to Sana by hunting down the mosquito that bit her: Soon, Chitti is demanding a salary from Vaseegaran so he can buy gifts for Sana, and interrupting their engagement ceremony with his sweet dance moves. His co-star in Enthiran is a former Miss World, and probably the only Indian film star recognizable to American audiences, Aishwarya Rai. And, of course, dancing. Superstar Rajnikanth, ace director Shankar and music wizard AR Rehman team up for this science fiction techno-thriller, 'Enthiran' is said to be the most expensive film in the history of Indian cinema. A lot of good practical effects are used throughout Enthiran, but much of the CGI has an uncanny-valley, videogame quality. The musical numbers aren’t integrated into the story the way they are in Western musicals; they act like music-video segues whose songs are only loosely related to what’s happening in the story. Big fun! Films of that length are common in Indian cinema, but it’s definitely a butt-burner. It’s also three hours long.
