Revisiting Enthiran Ahead of 2.0

Shankar, Rajinikanth as Dr.Vaseegaran/Chitti/2.0, Aishwarya Rai, A.R.Rahman, Sujatha, Dialogues by Madhan Karky, VFX by Srinivas Mohan, Art Direction by Sabu Cyril and Cinematography by Rathnavelu.

Enthiran is a Landmark Movie in Indian Cinema. When it released in 2010, it was the Most Expensive Indian film (Shankar has Trademarked this Tagline to his Name) and it became the Second Highest Grossing Indian Movie of All Time only behind 3 Idiots. It Remained the Highest Grossing South Indian Film until its Record was Broken by S.S.Rajamouli’s Baahubali 1 in 2015 and Baahubali 2 in 2017. Today, 8 Years after its release, Enthiran is still Tamil Cinema’s Highest Worldwide Grosser followed by Kabali, Sarkar, Mersal and I.

Superstar Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai’s Brilliant Performances led Shankar’s Vision of a Robot developing Emotions towards Humans with an inspiration from Sujatha Rangarajan’s novel “En Iniya Iyanthira” to Success. Starting with the Title Font and SPB’s Electronically Tweaked Voice of “Pudhiya Manidha”, the film managed to keep the audience hooked to its Science Fiction Extravaganza.

Rajini as Negative 2.0 is the Highlight Role of Enthiran. The Iconic Maniac Laughter followed by “No one can Destroy me” and “Black Sheep Mehh..” are Gems Designed by Shankar. His Facial Expression Variation between Dr.Vaseegaran, Naive Chitti and Manly 2.0 Deserves Rich Applause and Critical Acclaim.

Enthiran is one of the best Soundtracks of A.R.Rahman and his Wonderful Songs were Videographed with the Imagination of Shankar, Splendid Sets of Sabu Cyril and Breathtaking Cinematography of Rathnavelu. Who can forget Rajini and Aishwarya’s Chemistry in the Beautiful Brazilian Sands in “Kadhal Anukkal” or Machu Pichu in “Kilimanjaro” or Aishwarya Rai’s stunning dance in the Copper, Gold and Silver Sets of “Irumbile Oru Idhaiyam” or Rajini’s Swag with the Majestic Robotic Lions in “Arima Arima” ?

Enthiran’s Visual Effects by India’s leading VFX Designer Srinivas Mohan fetched him a National Award and he later worked in Baahubali : The Beginning and 2.0. The Climax Sequence with Massive Robotic Structures in the shape of a Human, Sphere, Cuboid and Snake were never seen before in the Indian Cinematic Screen.

In 2 days, 2.0 is about to release. Made with a Budget of 550 Crores which is Greater than the Total Budget of Both the Baahubali films, 2.0 is set to Surpass Enthiran at the Box-Office.

Geetha Govindam : Inkem Inkem Inkem Kaavaale - The Song of 2 Srirams

This Article is Not a Review of this Movie. I have Expressed My Thoughts on this Movie in this Article. Geetha Govindam (GG) is a Perfect Example for the Effect an Excellent Song can have on a Movie’s Box Office Crowd. Inkem Inkem Inkem Kaavaale, the Fantastic Carnatic Melody created by the Talented Gopi Sundar , sung by the Heavenly Gifted Sid Sriram and written by the Magical Hands of Anantha Sriram gets a Thunderous Arousal in the movie theatre during the opening credits scene when th e Violin part at the Beginning of the Song (True Bliss) starts to play. Visually, GG rides on the Sparkling Chemistry between Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika. The story gives an Equal Importance to both the Male and the Female Protagonists and thus is one of the Highlights of this movie. Vijay Deverakonda looks Comfortable in his Role and carries his Character with much ease. His Transition from the ill-tempered Doctor in Arjun Reddy is Commendable. His “Sorry...
