Enthiran doesn't have single dull moment. Every moment is brilliantly utilized by Shankar and covering almost all aspects of daily life making it a total sci-fi entertainer. As evident from Shankar's narratives the film is thrilling and engaging. It progresses as the robot being a tool in the hand of humans where Rajni and Danny being the motivator for good and evil. Their contributions have always directed Robot's action's. Love and helpfulness from Dr Vaseekaran and Destructions from Dr Bohra. Robot is just the innocent being, the worker who does practical works in real life. It is the motivator, the programmer who is all in all behind the scenario. The film ofcourse has scientific fallacies like Chitti being a humanoid weighing a ton has no mass effects in his action's. But the purposes of the film is to deliver entertainment, nothing else than that. So it's kinda justified.
Performance wise Rajnikant is the show stealer in all his roles. As a brilliant citizen, as a good humanoid, as the bad humanoid, as thousand copies of himself. Danny too shines as the father of antagonism which is evident from his famous roles in Bollywood. Other roles are fine without much to say. The technicals are impressive, again evident from Shankar's previous works that he never minds in spending millions while developing a film. And this time it's an AI based Sci-fi film. Just think about it's technical costs, about the CGI 's, about the actions in city, about set designs in various ceremonies etc.
There are some impressive scenes like explaining the reality of a humanoid in it's evaluation, robot becoming human through a mysterious cosmic thunder, idea of Robo- sapiens, the destructive strategies of self replicating, the innocent love of the good Robot and so on. Though the film is scientific still it touched meaningfully the dramatized parts of real life human issues like romance and betrayal, betrayal to your creator to be specific. Shankar has fantastically managed all these aspects in one film, well narrated and depicted. Not to say about the lead roles but about Shankar, he is brilliant. His attempt in Sci-fi genre is praiseworthy. Though it may seem Copycat of Robo's Act from Hollywood but still it stands unique in its content not only in Bollywood but also in comparison with Hollywood productions, esp the good bad conflict using the Robot. For Shankar it's a thumbs up. A 76 on a scale of 100 due to it's fast paced narration.
