Cine Talk Rajnikanth scores again

Film: Robot

Cast: Rajnikanth, Aishwarya Rai, Danny Denzongpa

Director: S. Shankar

Those in the know are aware that ‘superstar’ Rajnikanth is perceived to be in the image of god. In Robot this perception is taken a step further as Rajni creates a robot - in his own image. Robotics scientist Vashikaran (Rajni) creates a humanoid robot Chitthi (Rajni). After Chitthi’s inability to feel causes him to be rejected from inclusion in the Indian Army, Vashikaran tries to create feelings in him, and thanks to a freak of nature, succeeds. Only it causes problems, as Chitthi falls in love with Vashikaran’s fiancee Sana (Aishwarya Rai). As the creator and the creation are locked in a jealous battle against each other, the jealous robotics scientist Dr. Bohra plans to misuse Chitthi for wrong objectives. Anyone who has seen a Rajnikanth film understands that often it is not the story that makes the film a success, but Rajni’s antics. There are plenty of them in the film. And, for once, his conception as a robot gives Rajni the logic, to lack logic.

There are gravity defying stunts, shooting with a finger, running
