Namitha Kidnapped
Periasamy who appeared in a driver dress lied to her that he was sent to pick her up. Believing what he said, Namitha got into the car quite innocently.Poor Namitha did not think that he would be a kidnapper. The real driver arrived at the scene seeing the passing car and Namitha in it. He immediately called up the local police. The Police chased the kidnapper and Namitha and they overtook the driver and stopped the vehicle.
Periasamy was a mere fan of Namitha who wanted to kidnap her just because he was a fan but the Police find him elusive towards certain questions. He also was contradictory to his own answers and the Police suspect that there is a lot to it than what meets the eye.

Actress Seetha in Prostitution?
Maya registered a complaint with Chennai Police claiming that seetha is running the Brothel from her residence while husband Satish is acting like a broker for the clients. Customers visiting seetha’s house round the clock are creating nuisance and Maya wants Police to immediately take up the action.
On the other side, seetha claimed that same kind of complaint was raised by Satish against Maya long back but Police haven’t taken any action. Now, Maya wants to take revenge against her and this is totally a false allegation. Now, let us see how will Police solve this case.
Rajini is going 3D with Vidya Balan
In parallel with the news that Rajinkanths next flick ‘Sultan’ has been changed to ‘Hara,’ there is one more making rounds in media and that is about Mallu beauty in Bollywood, Vidya Balan is to star besides Rajini in this ‘Hara.’
Do you know, gorgeous Vidya is surely more than interested in the role, if it is offered so! ‘We haven’t yet received any formal communication from the makers of ‘Hara.’ She will happily consider this film should it come her way,’ says a source close to Vidya.
There is a notion that Vidya is averse to doing Tamil films but that is not the case at all. She, in fact is very interested if it is a big project and nothing can be bigger than a Rajini film. Even her parents are keen to see her act in Tamil movies. So, if ‘Hara’ works out, no reason why she wouldn’t grab it.
Sources say that KS Ravi Kumar has reportedly stepped in to work on half hour of live action on the ‘Hara’ which will be on the lines of ‘Avatar’ and will require viewing with 3D glasses. So, Rajini is going 3D with Vidya and Hara!

Simbu Making Sweety Shivering
After making her debut in Tollywood with the film 'Super', Sweety has worked with Nag and other top league heroes of Telugu without any fear. So much that even when she was working with Nandamuri Balakrishna in the film 'Okka Magadu', it seems she never had an ounce of fear or tension.
But now, it is heard that the very mention of the name Simbu, the Tamil hero, is giving Anushka tons of sweat. Though she has not worked with Simbu in even one film, the Tamil hero took enough measures by spreading a rumor in the media circles that Anushka has got an affair going on with him.
Not stopping at that, it seems he also ensured that news leaks out about him getting married to Anushka secretly. This news made headlines even in our media circles sometime back. So now, since there is no choice for Anushka but to pair up with Simbu for the Tamil remake of the Telugu film 'Vedam', it seems she is shivering with tension wondering to what range this little superstar will go and land her in danger. Usually, any hero would recommend only that heroine who 'cooperates in all ways' with him. So, it is a very common thing that when they act together, an affair is possible. But it is not the same in Simbu’s case, he is not satisfied with just having a physical relationship with his heroine. He also makes every effort to ensure that the entire world gets to know of his physical intimacy with his leading lady.
For this, he goes to any extent. So'.for Anushka who believes in pairing up with any hero and treating that hero as 'one and all' throughout the film, isn’t this is a difficult task? That’s why the very mention of Simbu is said to be giving Sweety the shivers it seems.

Shriya nourishing her intelligence
My view towards life and my world-view widened. Since I was dancing a lot and doing many shows, I got more comfortable performing in front of large crowds. So, when I was shooting in front of people around me, I wasn't scared or shy. I could do it with ease. With this strong base, dancing in movies was never a problem, too. So, Kathak has, in a way, shaped my life.
I was also into reading a lot at that age. When youngsters my age were partying, drinking and dating, I was busy reading, thus nourishing my intelligence. I can have a conversation on any topic with anyone. I'm really happy that I did all that at 16 and didn't waste my time in profanities.

‘Adhinayakudu’ Chiru Re-Entry to Tollywood
It seems that the groundwork for this new movie is already done and the shooting will begin shortly. The film is likely to be released within next year, so Chiru’s fans can rejoice. As for Chiranjeevi, it seems that the actor/ political leader has left for the U.S. for a complete makeover.Chiranjeevi has gained a few pounds in the last couple of months, so he wants to get into shape at the U.S. weight reduction clinics.
The new film is likely to be directed by either VV Vinayak or Murugadasa or SS Rajamouli. The producers are yet to come up with the name of the director of ‘Adhinayakudu’. We wish Chiranjeevi all the best for his 150th film.
Brindavanam Movie Review
Movie : Brindavanam
Director: Vamsi Paidipalle
Music : Taman
Cast : Jr NTR, Samantha, Kajal, Prakash Raj, Srihari, Brahmanandam, Venu Madhav and others
Story :
Srihari and Prakash Raj are step brothers (rivals) and Kota Srinivasa Rao is their father. Indu (Samantha) is Prakash Raj's nephew while Bhoomi (Kajal Agarwal) Srihari's nephew. Cutting back to the city, Krishna (Jr NTR) is a dynamic chap from a rich family and is in love with Indu. When Prakash Raj tried to arrange Bhoomi marriage with Ajay, she says that she's in love in another one. Bhoomi then approaches Indu and requests Krish act like his boyfriend and Indu convinces NTR to act like Bhoomi's boyfriend. And when NTR goes to the village to set things right, he discovers that Indu and Bhoomi come from same family. The movie encapsulates how Krish unites Srihari and Prakash Raj and with whom he enters wedlock.
Going by the posters, we thought NTR would bring in the magic with a touch of class in Brindavanam. But the movie turns out to be just another masala mix.
The major plus point is that Brindavanam has been shot well. The comedy is hilarious, though parts of it are outdated.
The plot? Krishna alias Krish (NTR) is the son of a millionaire (Mukesh Rishi) in Hyderabad.
His girlfriend Indu (Samantha) has a friend Bhumi (Kajal). The twist is that Bhumi's dad (Prakash Raj) wants to get her married to her cousin (Ajay) - a match Bhumi is against. She bluffs and tells her family that she has already fallen in love with a guy.
Indu helps her by letting her "rent" Krish as her fiance, just so that she can escape marriage for the time being.
Krish goes to Bhumi's village as her "fake" lover and successfully solves the rivalry between the girl's dad and his brother (Srihari). Impressed with Krish, Bhumi's dad accepts him and declares him his future son-in-law.
Now, Indu has no other go but to get back her lover. What happens next? That forms the crux of the family drama.
Though NTR plays a role that doesn't suit his image, he does it with elan. His dialogues are simply superb. For the first time, NTR tried to play a lover boy - Whether the audience will accept that remains to be seen. Kajal's role is dull from the start to finish, while Samantha too cannot enliven the mood. They just play glam dolls without soul. Prakash Raj and Srihari do routine roles.
The story is far removed from originality. For instance, there is a touch of Allu Arjun's Happy in Brindavanam. It also has shades of Ram's Maska, Chiranjeevi-starrer Bavagaru Bagunnara, Balakrishna's Nari Nari Naduma Murari, Ready and Bindas.
Director Vamsy Paidipalle seems to have only one thing in mind – to a give a commercial hit. Screenplay is fast in second half, compared to the first half. The plus point of the movie is the entertaining second half. But, if you are a serious movie-goer, stay away from Brindavan.
The comedy is the lifeline of the movie with hilarious scenes from Brahmanandam, Venu Madhav and NTR. The songs are not impressive and a couple of numbers have average appeal. Music by Taman is just average. Cinematography is a big plus point to the film. Editing is crisp.

Sneha Secret Act On Her Birthday
She has a few values in life and lives on them. For her birthday,she went to a temple early in the morning with her family members. And then she proceeded with the children of orphanage. Literally she spent whole day with them and far from cine glitter. She motivated many underprivileged kids with her stories, jokes and morals. Sneha seems to the true example for real living on this planet, say many.
Well, Sneha did this without expecting any publicity. She wanted to keep this a secret. You can be very modest, but media should project this kind of things. Otherwise, how can society gets motivated, Sneha!!!!
NTR's ‘Brindaavanam’ Releasing
The film is directed by Vamshi Paidipally of ‘Munna’ fame while Dil Raju is the producer. This also has Srihari and Prakashraj in key roles. Music is by Thaman and the audio has got a reasonable response. This is slated to be a family entertainer and will appeal to the family crowds.
The film is crucial to NTR, Vamshi, Dil Raju in a big way since it has been quite a while since they came up with significant hits. So far, the teasers have given a positive feel and since ‘Khaleja’ impact is also not there, let us hope the film scores at the box office and makes everyone
Break For ‘Khaleja’ Collections
The market analysts say that if ‘Brindavanam’ is good then the collections of ‘Khaleja’ will surely dip and similarly, if ‘Brindavanam’ turns out to be a below average fare then ‘Khaleja’ has got a strong chance to pull the crowds at the last minute and get to a hit mark.
So, it has finally boiled down to what will be the fate of Mahesh and that too clinging on the outcome of NTR jr’s film. This could possibly become a break in collections from the film. from our end, we hope that both films continue without a hitch and make their own money.
Hacked Trisha's Facebook account
Trisha’s friends were in for a rude awakening this morning when they found her Facebook account blocked. Work is underway to restore the account. In the meantime, Trisha has opened another account and many of her close friends have also added their names to it.

Superstar Rajinikanth played host Monday night as he invited the best of Bollywood to see his latest movie Endhiran, the Robot. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who wore Manish Malhotra, was of course there with her hubby Abhishek, director and producer Karan Johar joined them, as did Aamir Khan. Rajinikanth mingled with the guests at the PVR in Juhu and everyone seemed to be having a good time.
Endhiran, the Robot is a Tamil language action-packed science-fiction flick co-written and directed by S. Shankar, produced by first-time producer Kalanidhi Maran, and composed by international music maestro A.R. Rahman.
It took about two years to film Robot and it was shot at various locations, including Chennai, Goa, Pune and Mumbai. The romantic film also took the cast and crew to international destinations like Brazil, the United States and Peru where Ash and Rajinikanth shot a number in front of the historic site Machu Picchu.
Rajinikanth portrays both Dr. Vaseegaran and Chitti - he even takes on a third role! Aishwarya plays a woman named Sana, while Danny Denzongpa portrays Bohra. Other actors include Karunas, Santhanam and Kalabhavan Mani.
The flick tells the story of Dr. Vaseegaran, a scientist who specializes in robotics. In true Frankenstein fashion, Dr. Vaseegaran creates a robot that looks like a human. He names the robot Chitti and introduces it to other humans, which obviously leads to some very funny situations!
Check out our pics from Rajinikanth's screening of Endhiran, the Robot and tell us what you think of the movie.

Enthiran seems to be the biggest Diwali gift for any Rajni fan; thousands of people have been lingering around cinema theatres today to catch the earliest possible show of their super hero. Many of these people are coming to watch the film for the second or third time already!
In fact, the celebrations began at 5 a.m. on Friday when many fans prayed and performed 'paal abisekham' on Rajni's posters. The fans also danced their way through theatres to celebrate the release of the film.
The latest buzz is that the film grossed Rs. 5 crores in its opening day in Tamil Nadu. Reports confirm that the film had 100% opening all over India, with all shows booked for the entire weekend.

Big Hero Crying On Superstar
News from Chennai is that Kamal Haasan has not been a happy man since few days. Apparently, he has been crying On Rajinikanth. Well, it seems Kamal has been ranting to his close circle “why is Sun Movies shelling crores on Rajini for dicey subject and not on Marudanayagam and Marmayogi?”.
For one, both the subjects are nowhere near 150 cr and are way beyond. Also, the buzz is that though Kamal is quite popular, he doesn’t enjoy the commercial value that Rajini shares on a national and international level. Who knows…maybe Sun Pictures can change their mind soon and say yes to Kamal’s dream projects Marudanayagam and Marmayog.

Arthi Agarwal Crushing Between Two Big Heroes
Apparently, the former top heroine is gearing up to arrive with her new movie ‘Neelaveni’.
Sources say that this is slated for a October 3rd week release and that seems to be the concern for Arthi. Apparently, Mahesh Babu’s ‘Khaleja’ and NTR junior’s ‘Brindavanam’ are two biggies that are arriving just before ‘Neelaveni’ and she fears that getting theatres or the crowds is going to be difficult.
Right now, Arthi is getting crushed by both Mahesh and junior but then the makers are positive that they have their target audience and screens so it should not be much of a problem. Anyhow, since both films will be up before 10th, there will be a 10 day window before the frenzy will come down.

A technical milestone in the history of Indian cinema, 'Endhiran' is one of a kind and will be talked about for months. It is one of those movies where the awe factor lives forever. The script has its highs and lows and it may appeal to everyone. But if we forget logic, it is a truly entertaining movie.
The story revolves around Vaseegaran (Rajnikanth), a robotics professor who creates an Android humanoid robot Chitty, which resembles him. The machine is programmed to be a master of all traits. Vaseegaran creates it with a sole aim of dedicating it to Indian Army to replace soldiers in the battle field.
Vaseegaran is assisted by Siva (Santhanam) and Ravi (Karunas). The robot wins the admiration of beautiful Sana (Aishwarya Rai), ladylove of Vaseegaran.
But trouble starts when Chitty is programmed to have emotions like any human being. As it happens, it instantly falls in love with Sana and leads to trouble for both Chitty and its creator.
Enters Bohra (Danny Dengzongpa), who was Vaseegaran's mentor, with an evil motive. Cashing in on the opportunity, Bhora takes control of the machine after Vaseegaran dismantles it and throws it away in a fit of rage. Now the real war erupts between Vaseegaran and Chitty.
Chitty takes away Sana and creates its own army of robots. Their only motive is to end Vaseegaran. The robots are on killing spree and it is up to Vaseegaran to end the menace.
Rajnikanth oozes style throughout the narrative. He impresses both as Vaseegaran and Chitty. The typical Rajnikanth may be missing here. No punchlines or intro song, yet Rajni is impressive.
Unlike other heroines, who come and disappear in a wink of an eye, Aishwarya has a substantial role in the movie. Danny is a refreshing change from regular baddies that we see in Tamil cinema.
Known for his big-budget sci-fi films, Shankar has gone one step further in this. Nobody other than Stan Winston studios would have carried of the special effects. 'Endhiran' was like watching 'Iron Man', 'Transformers' and 'Superman'.
The first half is a smooth and fun ride with cute Chitty taking centrestage. A couple of fights set the tone for the fans. A few lighter moments and two songs make it a light-hearted affair.
However, the second half drags a bit, making the narrative less interesting. There are portions which could have been edited well. A couple of songs follow each other in quick succession which dampens things a bit. But, the rest of the second half is racy, action-packed and intelligent.
Rahman's music is a mix of east and west. Cinematography compliments the theme, thanks to Rathnavel. Peter Heinz's stunts, especially the train sequence, is fast and interesting.
Overall 'Endhiran' is an awesome experience thanks to technical brilliance, gripping screenplay and good performances.

The Good news: The film more than makes up for it with the mother of all Indian movie climaxes, where Rajni is King Kong, he is the Incredible Hulk, he is Iron Man, he is a Transformer, and he is the Anaconda. He is everything you have seen in special effects laden Hollywood flicks. Heck, in one scene, pinned to giant magnet with his arms stretched, he even does a menacing Hannibal Lecter lunge.
Neatly bookended between these two scenes is Rajnikanth's biggest ever movie.
When regular hits became the norm, Rajni recalibrated his own benchmark for stardom with Baasha in 1996. In the 14 years since, directors have tried everything to make Rajni bigger than he already was. There was Baasha itself, where he had his greatest backstory unraveled after much intrigue. There was Padaiyappa, which pitted him against the most memorable lady villain in Tamil cinema. And then there was Sivaji, where he comes back from the dead. There was nothing more to be done, or so we thought.
Then comes a movie like Robot, where Rajni is the hero, villain, comedian and a multitude of henchmen. He even appears in drag in a song. Muthalvan/Nayak was said to be the greatest Rajnikanth movie in which he did not act in. Shankar rectifies that in Robot, which is the greatest yet for star and director. This is the first time in many years that a director has brought something to the table that enhances a Rajni movie. Along with it, he also proves that if you want to make a Rs 150 crore film, he is the go-to man.
The movie is not so much science fiction as much as it is about finding the right excuse to enable Rajni do what he usually does, and make it look plausible.
Dr Vaseegaran (Rajni) creates a humanoid robot, Chitti, (also Rajni) after 10 years of labour, during which he has hardly has any time for his parents or girlfriend Sana (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan [ Images ]). Attempting to plant emotions into the robot backfires as the robot takes a liking for Sana, at which point the good doctor decides to destroy it. In steps the evil scientist Dr Bhora (Danny Denzongpa [ Images ]) who not only resurrects Chitti but also turns him into a killing machine.
The film's first set piece takes some time coming, but is well worth the wait. From then on it is relentless action, culminating in a climax that will be hard to better for some time to come.
It is so much of a Rajni show that even regular characters that usually get some screen space like parents (we see them in two scenes), friends (Karunas and Santanam are completely overshadowed by Rajni even in the comedy scenes), heroine (every director in the past decade has tried in vain to pair Rajni and Ash, but she still does not have much to do) and villain (a powerful actor like Danny hardly registers his presence) are marginalised.
But in what little screen time they get together, what these two stars share is an easy camaraderie more than any great chemistry. It works in this case.
In retrospect, it is hard to imagine who else could have done this movie, and -- forget doing it so well -- merely even pulled it off. There are things in this movie that Rajni the villain does to Rajni the hero, which had any other actor done, would have seen theatres going up in flames.
In the end, this movie is as much about special effects as it is about Rajni. Overall, they may not be Avatar good, but they will definitely hold their own when compared with regular Hollywood action movies. And remember, while a Matrix cost $200 million, this was made for $30 million. But the effects are by a distance the best we have seen in Indian cinema.
On the flip side, there are enough bloopers for the movie to deserve its own section in our series. It is a tad too long, and the music is not exactly A R Rahman's [ Images ] best work. But these things seem to have been deliberately overlooked. The intent is clear from the beginning: To make a Rajni showcase like no other. By pitting him versus himself, Shankar has found just the right way to make Rajni just that much more larger than life.
While it is a given that we all like good vs evil, there is a visceral pleasure when both look the same -- like Rajni. There are places you root for the deviant robot to triumph over its creator. As he lusts after Sana and bays for his creator's blood, Rajni channelises some of his best badass acts from the past, chiefly Alex Pandian in Moondru Mugam.
So, if there is just one Rajni movie you will ever watch, this is it, this is it, this is it.
Robo movie Rating: 4/5.

Khaleja Movie Review
Director : Trivikram Srinivas
Cast : Mahesh Babu, Anushka, Prakash Raj, Rao Rao Ramesh, Shafi, Ali, Sunil, Brahmanandam, Tanikella Bharani.
Story:
reveals the flashback story of Raju. In that, there is also his chance meeting with Subhashini (anushka) and how he ends up having trouble due to her. Meanwhile, in a small village of AP, there is Siddappa (shafi) who sets out on a mission to find the one man who is equivalent to god and who can save his village from sure death. After meeting Raju, he realizes that Raju is the man for the cause. And then, there is the powerful businessman GK (prakashraj) who wants to marry his son to Subhashini and has his eye on Siddappa’s village. How are all the dots connected forms the rest of the story.
Presentation:
The director has come up with an ordinary storyline but then it was his presentation and narrative that made the difference. The dialogues were good at many places, the script was alright and the screenplay was above average. Background score was good and three songs were excellent. Cinematography was top notch. Editing was neat. Costumes were fabulous and the art department was apt. Mahesh Babu was a total transformation from his regular image and he has scored the brownie points. Anushka from her end added to the glamour and romance part. Prakashraj was brief but good. Rao Ramesh was excellent, Shafi was very good, Ali and Sunil gave the light moments, Brahmi gave his own share of comedy. Raghu Babu was funny, Subbaraju could have been given some more length in his role, Veda was brief. The others contributed in their own way.
Conclusion:
Given the fact that it was Mahesh’s comeback film, the expectations were very high. While the first half was quite normal and never really revealed the plot, all the flaws got covered up during the second half. The real assets to the film were Mahesh Babu’s performance and the technical values. This is not much of a content driven film and it is more of a rich presentation that works. At the box office, this will be an above average grosser and if word of mouth works then it will become a big hit.
Verdict: Average.

Kajal on blogging
"I can handle basic Internet stuff, not more. To be honest, I cannot see myself blogging every minute. I don't have it in me to give details about my whereabouts -- I'm eating, I'm getting a manicure, I'm in Mumbai. I don't see why I should give out such personal details. I'm not saying micro-blogging is a bad thing. It's an influential medium because it gives the star a voice and you can put forward your opinion without being misquoted. But I feel a star loses his/ her enigma when you give out too many details. I would also like to clarify that there are fake profiles of mine on the micro-blogging site," she said.
Talking about her projects besides Jr. NTR starrer Brindavanam, she said: "I'm currently shooting with Naga Chaitanya and have another film with Prabhas. That apart, I have a Tamil film and some other projects that I can't talk about right now because they are in their early stages."
Censor Board appreciated Koffi Shop
Koffi Shop is being made in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada. The same sequences have been shot in Chennai and Hyderabad separately and a couple of common sequences have also been shot.
Meanwhile, tall and beautiful Biaenca Desai is steadily scaling the heights of success and has now signed for Swayamkrishi, newcomer Veerendra Babu is producing and directing it. About 40% of the shooting with Tamannaah is over. Biaenca now joins the team.
Biaenca has acted in six films in Kannada and also features in a dance sequence in Sudeep's Kichcha Huchcha.
Bava Audio Released Today

‘Brindavanam’ Fate Leaks In Few Hours
The cine market pundits say that if ‘Khaleja’ arriving before ‘Brindavanam’ scores a hit then the chances of ‘Brindavanam’ getting affected seem high. And if by any chance, the film, Brindavanam, turns out to be weak then it is confirmed that the film will sink without a trace. All that will be realized in just a few hours.
On the flip side, ‘Brindavanam’ has not been able to score in the songs department as expected. So, a lot rests on the film now to make up for it. There is enough ammunition in the form of NTR jr, Kajal Agarwal, Sri Hari, Samantha etc but let us hope the film has enough content to make full use of this ammunition. For now, the fate of the film would be known in just a few hours.
Mahesh Babu's 'Fate' In Few Hours
Mahesh Babu’s stardom is still continuing with his ‘Pokiri’. Although a debacle in the form of Sainikudu and Athidhi hit him under the belt, the stardom is still considerably good. But if Khaleja turns down, his fate will be upside down. He is coming up after 3 years on to the screen and obviously the stardom quotient will be decided only with this.
If the film hits ok…otherwise, the companies those already signed and those are willing to sign contracts with him will go away from him. It is obvious that no branded company wishes to cobrand itself with flop heroes.
So it is about to be revealed soon…whether the fans enjoy coke after watching ‘Khaleja’ or apply Aruthanjan and Navrathan Oil. Well, Coke, Navarathan Oil and Amruthanjan are the brands endorsed by Mahesh Babu now.

‘Brindavanam’ Fate Leaks In Few Hours
The time has come for yet another biggie to take the litmus test. But then, it is not just on the film to score at the box office. There are few external permutations and combinations this time.

Robo in Machu Picchu
Sun Pictures & Kalanithi Maran
Strictly speaking, we’re talking Kollywood not Bollywood, even if the latter has become the catch-all term overseas for all movies coming out of India. “Endhiran” (Robot), in which Tamil megastar Rajnikanth plays a scientist and a robot and which opens Friday, flew its stars to Peru to film one of the music scenes.
Fernando Astete, director of the Machu Picchu Archaelogical Park, recalled the shoot approximately two years ago, remembering in particular a younger female star (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, we’re assuming), and an older white-haired woman who did the actual singing.
“We have seen some Indian movies here,” said Mr. Astete. “It was the quintessential music that we see in those movies, with the man falling in love and courting the woman. There were also some Brazilian elements all mixed in. It was something quite exotic.”

Prabhudeva's Wife problem Again
Prabhudeva's wife Ramalath approached court of law. It was said a few days back in Chennai media that she was paid enough by Nayantara in the form of house, cash and jewelry to silence her regarding the marriage with Prabhudeva. Everybody though that issue has settled down. But now Ramalath has approached court of law stating that her husband Prabhudeva has completely ignored the family and not even giving a few pennies to meet the monthly expenses as well. We have to see how court settles this matter.
Karmic Reason For Endiran Success
Then, there are those who are giving part credit to A R Rahman and his music. But reliable sources say that it is not them and the key player for this is Rajinikanth himself. Apparently, the element of divine intervention seems to be the key as per few scientific observers which comes as a surprise.
They say that it is Rajini’s charity works and his human touch with everyone that has played a key role. To be honest, many feel that the film is not that great but it is the gentle push from divine forces due to his karmic activity that has pushed the film to this kind of response. What are your thoughts on this folks..

Khaleja will be postponed because of 'Robo'
Well, the much awaited film ‘Robo’ has hit the screens and beating all odds, the film has managed to rake in a positive response and hit talk. Now, few groups are trying to figure out what sort of impact this will have on the upcoming release ‘Khaleja’ which is on October 7th.
Sources say that kids and families have taken a liking for ‘Robo’ and this would mean that it is only the fans of Mahesh Babu who would be the takers for ‘Khaleja’. Mixed reports have been coming from inside regarding the shaping up of the film so that is another thing which has to be looked upon.
There is also the chance that repeat audience will come for ‘Robo’ since this is a sci-fi film and Khaleja is an action treat. Though the desired feeling is that even ‘Khaleja’ must score success, the real result will be known once it hits the screens.
Robo Creating World Records
Finally, Rajinikanth's Enthiran graced theatres on Friday. And this robot is really different from his earlier avatars!
Enthiran seems to be the biggest Diwali gift for any Rajni fan; thousands of people have been lingering around cinema theatres today to catch the earliest possible show of their super hero. Many of these people are coming to watch the film for the second or third time already!
In fact, the celebrations began at 5 a.m. on Friday when many fans prayed and performed 'paal abisekham' on Rajni's posters. The fans also danced their way through theatres to celebrate the release of the film.
The latest buzz is that the film grossed Rs. 5 crores in its opening day in Tamil Nadu. Reports confirm that the film had 100% opening all over India, with all shows booked for the entire weekend.

Big Hero Crying On Superstar
News from Chennai is that Kamal Haasan has not been a happy man since few days. Apparently, he has been crying On Rajinikanth. Well, it seems Kamal has been ranting to his close circle “why is Sun Movies shelling crores on Rajini for dicey subject and not on Marudanayagam and Marmayogi?”.
For one, both the subjects are nowhere near 150 cr and are way beyond. Also, the buzz is that though Kamal is quite popular, he doesn’t enjoy the commercial value that Rajini shares on a national and international level. Who knows…maybe Sun Pictures can change their mind soon and say yes to Kamal’s dream projects Marudanayagam and Marmayog.

Arthi Agarwal Crushing Between Two Big Heroes
Apparently, the former top heroine is gearing up to arrive with her new movie ‘Neelaveni’.
Sources say that this is slated for a October 3rd week release and that seems to be the concern for Arthi. Apparently, Mahesh Babu’s ‘Khaleja’ and NTR junior’s ‘Brindavanam’ are two biggies that are arriving just before ‘Neelaveni’ and she fears that getting theatres or the crowds is going to be difficult.
Right now, Arthi is getting crushed by both Mahesh and junior but then the makers are positive that they have their target audience and screens so it should not be much of a problem. Anyhow, since both films will be up before 10th, there will be a 10 day window before the frenzy will come down.

Rajnikanth's 'Robo' is a Entertaining movie
A technical milestone in the history of Indian cinema, 'Endhiran' is one of a kind and will be talked about for months. It is one of those movies where the awe factor lives forever. The script has its highs and lows and it may appeal to everyone. But if we forget logic, it is a truly entertaining movie.
The story revolves around Vaseegaran (Rajnikanth), a robotics professor who creates an Android humanoid robot Chitty, which resembles him. The machine is programmed to be a master of all traits. Vaseegaran creates it with a sole aim of dedicating it to Indian Army to replace soldiers in the battle field.
Vaseegaran is assisted by Siva (Santhanam) and Ravi (Karunas). The robot wins the admiration of beautiful Sana (Aishwarya Rai), ladylove of Vaseegaran.
But trouble starts when Chitty is programmed to have emotions like any human being. As it happens, it instantly falls in love with Sana and leads to trouble for both Chitty and its creator.
Enters Bohra (Danny Dengzongpa), who was Vaseegaran's mentor, with an evil motive. Cashing in on the opportunity, Bhora takes control of the machine after Vaseegaran dismantles it and throws it away in a fit of rage. Now the real war erupts between Vaseegaran and Chitty.
Chitty takes away Sana and creates its own army of robots. Their only motive is to end Vaseegaran. The robots are on killing spree and it is up to Vaseegaran to end the menace.
Rajnikanth oozes style throughout the narrative. He impresses both as Vaseegaran and Chitty. The typical Rajnikanth may be missing here. No punchlines or intro song, yet Rajni is impressive.
Unlike other heroines, who come and disappear in a wink of an eye, Aishwarya has a substantial role in the movie. Danny is a refreshing change from regular baddies that we see in Tamil cinema.
Known for his big-budget sci-fi films, Shankar has gone one step further in this. Nobody other than Stan Winston studios would have carried of the special effects. 'Endhiran' was like watching 'Iron Man', 'Transformers' and 'Superman'.
The first half is a smooth and fun ride with cute Chitty taking centrestage. A couple of fights set the tone for the fans. A few lighter moments and two songs make it a light-hearted affair.
However, the second half drags a bit, making the narrative less interesting. There are portions which could have been edited well. A couple of songs follow each other in quick succession which dampens things a bit. But, the rest of the second half is racy, action-packed and intelligent.
Rahman's music is a mix of east and west. Cinematography compliments the theme, thanks to Rathnavel. Peter Heinz's stunts, especially the train sequence, is fast and interesting.
Overall 'Endhiran' is an awesome experience thanks to technical brilliance, gripping screenplay and good performances.

Robo Movie Review
The Good news: The film more than makes up for it with the mother of all Indian movie climaxes, where Rajni is King Kong, he is the Incredible Hulk, he is Iron Man, he is a Transformer, and he is the Anaconda. He is everything you have seen in special effects laden Hollywood flicks. Heck, in one scene, pinned to giant magnet with his arms stretched, he even does a menacing Hannibal Lecter lunge.
Neatly bookended between these two scenes is Rajnikanth's biggest ever movie.
When regular hits became the norm, Rajni recalibrated his own benchmark for stardom with Baasha in 1996. In the 14 years since, directors have tried everything to make Rajni bigger than he already was. There was Baasha itself, where he had his greatest backstory unraveled after much intrigue. There was Padaiyappa, which pitted him against the most memorable lady villain in Tamil cinema. And then there was Sivaji, where he comes back from the dead. There was nothing more to be done, or so we thought.
Then comes a movie like Robot, where Rajni is the hero, villain, comedian and a multitude of henchmen. He even appears in drag in a song. Muthalvan/Nayak was said to be the greatest Rajnikanth movie in which he did not act in. Shankar rectifies that in Robot, which is the greatest yet for star and director. This is the first time in many years that a director has brought something to the table that enhances a Rajni movie. Along with it, he also proves that if you want to make a Rs 150 crore film, he is the go-to man.
The movie is not so much science fiction as much as it is about finding the right excuse to enable Rajni do what he usually does, and make it look plausible.
Dr Vaseegaran (Rajni) creates a humanoid robot, Chitti, (also Rajni) after 10 years of labour, during which he has hardly has any time for his parents or girlfriend Sana (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan [ Images ]). Attempting to plant emotions into the robot backfires as the robot takes a liking for Sana, at which point the good doctor decides to destroy it. In steps the evil scientist Dr Bhora (Danny Denzongpa [ Images ]) who not only resurrects Chitti but also turns him into a killing machine.
The film's first set piece takes some time coming, but is well worth the wait. From then on it is relentless action, culminating in a climax that will be hard to better for some time to come.
It is so much of a Rajni show that even regular characters that usually get some screen space like parents (we see them in two scenes), friends (Karunas and Santanam are completely overshadowed by Rajni even in the comedy scenes), heroine (every director in the past decade has tried in vain to pair Rajni and Ash, but she still does not have much to do) and villain (a powerful actor like Danny hardly registers his presence) are marginalised.
But in what little screen time they get together, what these two stars share is an easy camaraderie more than any great chemistry. It works in this case.
In retrospect, it is hard to imagine who else could have done this movie, and -- forget doing it so well -- merely even pulled it off. There are things in this movie that Rajni the villain does to Rajni the hero, which had any other actor done, would have seen theatres going up in flames.
In the end, this movie is as much about special effects as it is about Rajni. Overall, they may not be Avatar good, but they will definitely hold their own when compared with regular Hollywood action movies. And remember, while a Matrix cost $200 million, this was made for $30 million. But the effects are by a distance the best we have seen in Indian cinema.
On the flip side, there are enough bloopers for the movie to deserve its own section in our series. It is a tad too long, and the music is not exactly A R Rahman's [ Images ] best work. But these things seem to have been deliberately overlooked. The intent is clear from the beginning: To make a Rajni showcase like no other. By pitting him versus himself, Shankar has found just the right way to make Rajni just that much more larger than life.
While it is a given that we all like good vs evil, there is a visceral pleasure when both look the same -- like Rajni. There are places you root for the deviant robot to triumph over its creator. As he lusts after Sana and bays for his creator's blood, Rajni channelises some of his best badass acts from the past, chiefly Alex Pandian in Moondru Mugam.
So, if there is just one Rajni movie you will ever watch, this is it, this is it, this is it.
Robo movie Rating: 4/5.
