Review: Robot
Starring Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai, Enthiran, The Robot, is a Tamil science-fiction about an andro-humanoid robot.
One of the highlights of this film is that Rajinikanth will be seen without his famed moustache in most parts of the movie.

If Robot the film was a person, it would be diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Parts of the film are superbly entertaining – the scale is spectacular, the story is ambitious and the special effects are impressive. But parts, especially in the second half, are so needlessly stretched and cacophonous, that you're just waiting for it to end.

But once you're in the flow of things, the plot gives you no time for pause. Of course the scale moves to another level with the special effects that have been done by George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic and some of the same technicians who worked on Jurassic Park.
