One is a scientist Dr.Vaseegara and the other is a Robot called Chitti. The scientist Rajani creates a Robo with artificial intelligence –– which looks exactly like him and behaves too like a human to help mankind, his ambition is to dedicate it to Indian Army. Vasi injects more human characters (like feelings) and after that it behaves almost like human. Chitti (Robo) falls in love with Sana (Aishwarya Rai) the girlfriend of Vasi; after that the film's story revolves around the scientist's struggle to control his creation Performances: Rajani Kanth suited well to the role of Robo, He is convincing in the scientist role too. Aishwarya looked beautiful and glamorous. Danny Dengzonpa is good as a Scientist with evil mind. Santanam and Karunas provided some humour. Art Direction Sabu Cyril is good. Cinematography and The Visual effects are a treat to watch. The Imagination and Visualization by the creative genius Shankar is commendable. Screenplay can be better. Direction is good. Analysis: ROBO is the dubbed version of the Tamil Flick ENTHIRAN; it was in production since two years. The Duo- Shankar and Rajani are back after Shivaji; but this time on a grand Scale. Rajani played the two roles as a scientist and as a ROBO with much ease and that too in his style. It appears that Rajani kanth has paid keen attention on each and every gesture of his. The Last half-an-hour of his performance is fantastic [Once the ROBO becomes possessive of Sana]. Once you watch the movie you can’t even imagine any other Hero/ Actor doing it so well (I bet not even closer). Rajani excels in the Scene where ROBO Rajani shows some Villainy towards the climax. Aishwarya looked good (even though appeared bit aged and put on weight), she is beautiful and danced well in the songs. She looked different in the tribal attire in the song “Kilimanjaro-Mohenjadaro”, “Neelo Valapu” song has beautiful visuals. Danny is okay and done justice to his role. The remaining supporting cast fit their bill. Cinematography is first rated. Art Direction is good. Editing is just okay (can be better). We have watched many films filled with graphics like Terminator, Matrix, Godzilla, Superman, Transformers etc; but the special effects in ROBO are close to International standards. The superior Quality Special effects are a definite plus to the Movie. Music is Average with a couple of songs which are picturised brilliantly. The background score is fabulous. Rahman leaves his mark in the theme song too. The story is a simple thread but the narration is sheer grandeur. If you keenly observe the movie has a meaning and a message too. There are some illogical scenes (Why ROBO takes such a long time in identifying the black Sheep etc ;), which you don’t pay more attention while watching the super star on the screen. The first half is filled more with romance and humour and the second half is dominated by action and thrills. There a couple of songs in the second half which interrupt the flow. A trimmed narration would have done better. Some Chasing Scenes appeared lengthy. Fair chances of minting money in A Centers, we have to wait and watch how it gets received in the B, and C Centers. Note: Should be watched with all the members of the family (Kids may enjoy more). Watch it in a Theater well equipped with digital Sound system for a thrilling Experience.. Plus: Star Cast, Technical Excellence, Visual effects. Minus: Slow Second half (first part) Verdict: The wait is worthy; every frame has technical excellence- Stupendous effort by Shankar and his Team. Reviewed By : SATYA
