Folks,
this is Ajith from San Jose, California
and I had the chance to see Endhiran's
Premier show yesterday. First of all,
I did get the answer to the question
"Would enough justice be done,
with the amount of money involved in
making the movie?!" Shankar has
literally made me eat my words. I am
a die-hard fan of Rajini and this was
a soul quencher to me and to several
hundreds of thousands of fans that he
has managed to amass over the years!
His underplayed role of "Vasi",
the objective, emotionless role of "Chitti",
"Chitti the lover", "Chitti
the villan" sure displays the sheer
class of the actor, and proves time
and again that he is not a superstar
because of God's grace alone. The formula
does contain the Rajini factor, which
takes him to the God like stature in
every fan's (read fanatic) heart. I
couldn’t find one character in
the movie who has overdone anything.
The usage of Santhanam and Karunas to
the right extent, Aishwarya Rai used
not just for the plain old romantic
sequences and given something important
in the film, screenplay without too
many unnecessary vulgarities or punch
dialogues, is sure an amazing step towards
the outlook of Indian cinemas. I thoroughly
enjoyed the graphics and it was a pure
visual treat. Shankar has really thought
a lot to actually make us get awed at
the graphics and his ideas. Every time
I thought something predictable is going
to happen, it did not.
