Yenthiran --- Not Quite there.....!

Watched the much awaited Yenthiran in an atmosphere that was quite mindblowing,the movie unfortunately does not live up to it though.

The plot revolves around the robotic invention of a scientist which goes haywire once it gets into corrupt hands.Chitti the robot initially devoid of any human of emotions runs people into trouble and forces the scientist to give human traits to his invention !!! Ironically the robo turns against him as it falls in love with the scientists girl friend(aiswarya).How chitti gets misled and misused forms the rest of the stuff.


Whats hot....

Ofcourse when rajini is there on the screeen what else can send the house down.Starting off with a 'too-soft' intro,the traits of a rajini movie shows up only in parts with the robo chitti coming to play.The action sequences are top class and can match any hollywood gimmicks(well in the end it is them,the gyuz from hollywood who are behind the heavy action and the graphics that forms the main attraction of Yenthiran).Aiswarya never looked so beautifum in the recent past and serves purpose of both beauty and glamour.Shankar the director deserves credit for his efforts and his thirst for perfection in the action sequences.Songs though speed breakers were exotically shot.Dany too perfromed his part well.The comedy filled first half was definitely encouraging but..,

Whats not.....

the 2nd half fails to impress despite the one of its kind climax action sequences in indian cinema.The movie might dissappoint some rajini fans as it does not have the ususal thrills and tricks of style mannan.This was well felt in the response as the fans ovations often got lost in the silence for the major part of the second half.With every aspect backing him Shankar should have come up with a better plot.One feels at times this guy tests too much of the viewers logics - the mosqioto sequence,some gimmicks of the robo.....The songs are just okay.Comedy track planned by santanam and the other guy fails and looked unwanted.

Summing up Yenthiran is definitely not up there where the previews promised but has a good first half and some quality action sequences.The theatric atmosphere was terriffic which justified my decision of not opting to view this in a multiplex.
