Two things...
One, it's difficult to conceptualize and execute a film like ROBOT.
Two, when Rajinikant's name comes in the credits, one cannot hear anything for the next two minutes. His name is greeted with a thunderous applause, whistles yells and cheers. Such is the charisma of this superstar. Rajnikant is the Boss. The real Badshaah.
ROBOT, directed by Shankar, is a Rajnikant Express that transports you to a world you can't envision. Rajnikant's feats are legendary by now. In ROBOT, he goes a step further. The Robot in ROBOT not only follows orders of his creator, but also cooks, fights, romances and wonder of wonders, has a lengthy conversation with a mosquito and scan loads of books/magazines and an entire telephone directory in a second. Yes, you read it right!
That's not all, this Robot is Superman + Spiderman + Terminator + Godzilla, all rolled into one. There's more to this Robot. It can replicate itself, wage a vicious battle, turn into an Anaconda or a monster ball and wipe off an entire army. Whew! Known for larger than life canvas, ROBOT is Shankar's most expensive and if I may say so, his most imaginative film thus far. And who better than Rajnikant for the pivotal role!
Final word? A Rajnikant film is an event and this combo's [Shankar - Rajnikant] new outing ROBOT is sure to strike like Tsunami. Let me make it short-n-sweet. If you miss ROBOT, it's YOUR loss!
Location: Chennai 2010. Mission: Creating a robot Chitti. Purpose: To help the society. Development time: 10 years. Special Features: A human who is not born, but is created. He can dance, sing, fight, is water and fire resistant. He can do all that a human can and more. He feeds on electricity. He takes instructions literally. Where a human can lie to save himself, this robot cannot lie.
Where he has a razor sharp memory and can memorize an entire telephone directory by just running through the pages, he cannot understand human emotions. Dr. Vasi upgrades Chitti's processor and simulates human emotions without realizing the repercussions. Chitti gets transformed. He can now feel and the first feeling that he discovers is Love. Will this love come in the way of Dr. Vasi's purpose of creating Chitti? Will Dr. Vasi's own creation destroy him?
A title like ROBOT automatically puts tremendous responsibility and pressure on the director's shoulders. And ROBOT is not merely a display of VFX, but it also has soul, a story to tell. At first, ROBOT comes across as a clash between the virtuous [Rajnikant] and wicked [Danny Denzongpa]. But ROBOT changes gears in its post-interval portions as the focus shifts to the creator [Rajnikant] and his creation [Rajnikant].
It's a Rajnikant film and it would be incomplete if his loyal fans don't get to watch his stylish actions and feats. Thankfully, ROBOT showcases it all. He can glide on the railway tracks, run horizontally on a moving train, transform into an Anaconda, can swallow helicopters and even fire at people with his fingers, without using a pistol. These are truly clap-trap moments!
Even otherwise, the screenplay is really well penned and absorbing. While the film is a super ride from start to end, it's the penultimate 25 minutes that leaves you awe-struck and speechless. You can't imagine a Hindi film having such an out of the world climax. There will be pandemonium inside theatres when the climax unfolds, I am sure. Let me confess, it's the mother of all climaxes!
Only thing, Shankar could've controlled the length of the film. It could've been shorter by at least 10 to 15 minutes, which includes doing away with a song or two. Of course, like all Shankar movies, the songs are filmed most imaginatively on exotic locales, but what's the point of having songs if they act as speed breakers?
That Shankar ranks amongst India's best directors is well known by now and ROBOT only cements the fact. His vision and execution of the difficult subject deserves the highest praise, in fact distinction marks. He not only dreams big, but the outcome is incredible too. A.R. Rahman's music doesn't compliment the content of the film, but like I pointed out earlier, every song has been filmed exquisitely. The action and chase sequences are outstanding [Yuen Woo Ping, action choreographer in the MATRIX and KILL BILL sequels, was the stunt coordinator]. Visual effects are spectacular [Stan Winston Studio, the studio behind JURASSIC PARK, PREDATOR, TERMINATOR, IRON MAN, AVATAR, provided the animatronics technology]. Cinematography captures the grand production values with precision. The locations of Austria, Machu Picchu in Peru, U.S.A. and Brazil only enhance the visual appeal of the film. The sets are mind-blowing. Dubbing is near-perfect.
ROBOT is a Rajnikant show from start to end. And no other actor, not from Bollywood at least, would be able to do what he does with such amazing ease. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looks stunning and acts most convincingly. Danny Denzongpa is efficient, as always. The remaining actors enact their parts well.

Verdict : On the whole, ROBOT is a crowd-pleasing and hugely mass appealing tale of android revolution with a thrilling plot, rich and imaginative screenplay, super action, astounding effects and most importantly, Rajnikant, who is the soul of the film. It's the Big Daddy of all entertainers. Miss it at your own risk!

Emraan Hashmi back to what he is best at
After giving a taste of his passionate kisses to desi babes like Mallika Sherawat, Udita Goswami, Kangana Ranaut and Sonal Chauhan, Hashmi locks lips with a foreign babe this time while couritng Neha Sharma at the same time who happens to star opposite the actor in this flick directed by Mohit Suri and produced under Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt’s banner Vishesh Films. The movie also features actor Arjan Bajwa of “Fashion” fame.
It tells the story about a boy, Emraan Hashmi from India who is crafty, Machiavellian and mutinous. He is involved in the illegal task of piracy in Australia. And while living there he is wooing two ladies at the same time. Speaking about the pre-requisite of kissing sequence he says, “So some amount of intimacy is justified. I’ve done it in my usual uninhibited, unapologetic way. I guess, because of my liberal, somewhat westernized upbringing, I’ve never been leery about kissing”.
The film, slated for an Oct 8 release, is said to be about racial attacks on Indian students in Australia promises ample hot sizzling intimate scenes between Hashmi and the blonde beauty as can be seen through the promos.

The story takes a gripping turn when international antique smugglers, the Johri Brothers, assign Tees Maar Khan the task of robbing antiques worth 500 crore rupees from a heavily guarded moving train.
The special attraction of the film is the item song by Salman Khan and her off and on love Katrina Kaif.

Hrithik, Aishwarya and SLB form the mutual admiration club
Bollywood queen and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has three promising releases this year, ‘Robot’, Action Replayy’ and ‘Guzaarish’. Among these Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’ has high expectation quotient with Ash pairing with Hrithik Roshan with whom she has delivered two megahits in ‘Dhoom’ and ‘Jodha Akbar’. It narrates the story of Ethan (Hrithik), who is suffering from limb paralysis and his relationship with his caretaker and married nurse, Sophie (Aishwarya).
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all praise for Aishwarya and Hrithik. He said, “I want to thank Aishwarya. She’s my jaan. I get terrible excited when I make a film with her. She’s very very special. And I have never enjoyed with any other actor as I have with Hrithik just for the talent he has and for the kind of person he is.”
The actors too are more than overwhelmed to be associated with the project. “GUZAARISH is more than a film to me. It’s a manifestation of one man’s vision and that is Sanja Leela Bhansali. It has changed my prospective on the world. It has affected my life. 30 or 40 years from now I will look back and smile because I had the opportunity to do this film. Some films are made for commercial reasons and some must be made for the world to see and that’s the kind of film GUZAARISH is,” said Hrithik.
Talking about her career graph rising even after marriage, Aishwarya said, I’m so blessed. It’s so wonderful that my faith has been kept in the professionals that I have worked with. Directors like Shankar, Mani Ratnam and Sanjay Leela Bhansali came to me with scripts. They didn’t say ‘Now you are married. What should we do with your role?’ None of the directors thought that.”
Check out the wonderful looking stars at the press conference of ‘Guzaarish’.

Katrina Kaif to get raunchy with ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’
Katrina Kaif is already the heartthrob of millions of hearts out there and this time she has gone a step further to ensure that there is not one man left who doesn’t skip his beat as she gyrates on the modern version of the 1991 hit song “Jumma Chumma De De’ that was originally picturized on Big B and Kimi Katkar.
Katrina is doing this item number ‘Sheela Ki Jawani’ for Farah Khan’s ‘Tees Maar Khan’ and as she plays an item girl in the film and Farah wanted nothing but the best for this dance number. Speaking about this special song, Farah says, “Sheela Ki Jawani is a special item number with a never before seen feel to it. There are six different set-ups in the song and Katrina will be seen in 6 different looks. In the last sequence of the song, I wanted a rustic bar setting where you’ll see Katrina surrounded by men holding beer-mugs and splashing water on her something similar to the famous ‘Jumma Chumma’ song in Hum. Another part of the song is a tribute the musical Chicago. The song itself is a mix of Bhojpuri meets Bob Fosse if you can imagine what I am saying.”
“What I wanted for this song was to keep Katrina’ s look rustic and have a backdrop like that of a Broadway musical. So it’s both raunchy yet classy and believe me, Katrina has never done anything like this before. She has really worked hard to get into shape for this number and the results have to be seen to be believed,” she adds.
Check out the stills of Kats from the movie as flaunts a perfect 10 figure that will surely make the men drool!!

After Underworld, Emraan Hashmi set to cast a blow on racism
Emraan Hashmi’s next venture to hit the screens is ‘Crook Its Good To Be Bad’ where Hashmi plays the guy who has to decide if it is good to be bad or good to be good. Releasing on 8th October, the movie started off with a touching moment which took place with director Mohit Suri in Australia. When Mohit happened to find himself outside a 24-hour convenience store in the Sunshine district of Melbourne (the same spot where the most brutal racist attacks had taken place in Australia), he realized how the seeds of racism were sown deep in every part of the world.
“I was horrified to know how an Indian was brutally beaten up only because of his colour and religion. Outraged and humiliated, I felt the need to voice this as a filmmaker. However, as I left the store my eyes fell upon an ad on the store window which read: ‘Accommodation available for Indian students for Gujarati boys only,” he notes.
This ad was the starting point of Crook It’s Good To Be Bad. “It made me realise that racism and all other social evils are a part of every human heart. It’s our choice to decide is it good to be bad in today’s world or does it pay to be good?”
Adds producer Mahesh Bhatt, “Crook takes an unflinching look at racism which has devastated thousands of young Indians, who go to Australia in search of a better life putting not only all their money but even their lives at stake. The film also locks horns with our own inner demons.”
The movie stars Emraan Hashmi, newbie Neha Sharma and Fashion actor Arjan Bajwa. The musical notes have been directed by Pritam Chakraborty.
