the movie Enthiran is a 2010 Indian Tamil science fiction film co-written and directed by Shankar. The film
features Rajinikanth in dual roles, as a scientist and an andro humanoid robot, alongside Aishwarya Rai
while Danny Denzongpa, Santhanam, Karunas, Kalabhavan Mani, Devadarshini, and Cochin Haneefa play
supporting roles. The film's story revolves around the scientist's struggle to control his creation,
the android
robot whose software was upgraded to give it the ability to
comprehend and generate human emotions. The
plan backfires as the robot
falls in love with the scientist's fiance and is further manipulated
to bring
destruction to the world when it lands in the hands of a rival
scientist.
SUMMARY
Dr. Vaseegaran (Rajinikanth), a scientist specialized in robotics, creates a sophisticated android robot
(Rajinikanth) in his own likeness after a decade of intensive research, with the intention of joining it to the
Indian army. Vaseegaran explains to his assistants Siva (Santhanam) and Ravi (Karunas) that the android
must first be observed for its interaction with humans. His mother (Revathi Sankaran) suggests naming it
Chitti Babu.
At the International Robotic Conference in Chennai, Vaseegaran introduces Chitti to the delegates. In the
meantime, it is revealed that Vaseegaran's mentor, Dr. Bohra (Danny Denzongpa) is preoccupied in a
project
to create a similar android. Meanwhile, Chitti endears himself to Vaseegaran's girlfriend, Sana (Aishwarya
Rai) and helps her cheat in her medical school
exams. When they are caught, Sana lies to the investigators
that she
does not know Chitti; thus Chitti learns that humans may choose to lie
for self-preservation.
Vaseegaran prepares Chitti for a panel evaluation by the Artificial
Intelligence Research and Development
(AIRD) Institute, which is headed
by Dr. Bohra. The panel enquires whether Chitti's build conforms to the
Three Laws of Robotics of Isaac Asimov.
Vaseegaran replies in the negative. During evaluation, Chitti stabs
Vaseegaran at Bohra's command, though not fatally. Bohra convinces the
evaluation committee that Chitti
could not be relied upon in the
battlefield because he could be easily manipulated to turn against his
handlers.
Vaseegaran decides to modify Chitti's neural schema
to allow him to understand human behaviour and
emotions. Chitti gets
angry once on Vaseegaran, which assures him and Sana that Chitti can now
feel
emotions. Later Chitti applies his text book knowledge of symphysiotomy to successfully handle the
complicated childbirth of Latha (Devadarshini), Sana's friend. The procedure
is covered live by the media.
Dr. Bohra arrives to congratulate Dr.
Vaseegaran on the achievement. He also lets Chitti pass the AIRD
evaluation. Chitti then begins to see Sana as its romantic interest
and makes advances. This triggers a
confrontation between Vaseegaran
and Chitti. Sana tries to explain to Chitti that she can love him only
as a
friend and asks him to forget her. Chitti later deliberately fails
in an evaluation conducted by the Indian Army.
Enraged by the act of
insubordination, Vaseegaran chops Chitti into pieces and throws it away
in a landfill
site.
Bohra retrieves Chitti's parts reassembles it. He gives Chitti a new
appearance, and embeds a "red chip"
inside Chitti, converting him into a
ruthless terminator. Chitti gatecrashes Vaseegaran and Sana's wedding,
then kidnaps and imprisons Sana. Chitti begins to create replicas
of itself and kills Dr. Bohra. Soon, Chitti's
army of robots cause
mayhem in the city and takes over the AIRD Institute. Vaseegaran
undertakes the task
of stopping Chitti. Disguised as one of the robots,
he successfully infiltrates the AIRD Institute and instructs
the police
to cut power supply to the entire city. When Chitti and his army are
about to run out of charge,
they seize vehicles on the road and use the
batteries to recharge themselves. Chitti eventually finds
Vaseegaran,
but as Chitti is about to kill him, the police force strikes AIRD. One
of the robots is
immobilized
by a grenade explosion and is taken into
custody by Vaseegaran. He uploads a worm
into Chitti's network
which temporarily brings down the robot army.
Chitti identifies the source of the worm and sends a "self-
destruct"
command to the robot. The robots assemble in the shape of a giant
and chase Vaseegaran's
armoured bus. Vaseegaran uses the data he had
backed up from the destroyed robot to de-magnetise the
robot army,
collapsing the giant formation. Chitti gets captured by a huge magnetic
wall, allowing
Vaseegaran
access to Chitti's internal control panel,
through which he instructs all the other robots to self-destruct. He
removes the red chip, causing Chitti to calm down.
In a court hearing, the jury rules capital punishment for Vaseegaran, citing the large number of casualties and
damages to public property caused by the robot army. Chitti, explaining to the court that the law allows it to
be treated as material evidence, if not as a witness,
explains that it was Dr. Bohra who caused Chitti's devian
t behaviour.
He shows the court, using his eyes as 3D projectors, the video footage
of Dr. Bohra installing
the red chip inside him. The court decides to
drop all charges against Vaseegaran, while concluding that
Chitti
should
be dismantled in order to avoid further mishaps of the same kind in
future. Back at the lab, an
emotional Vaseegaran tells Chitti to
dismantle itself. While taking off its own parts one by one, Chitti
apologizes to Sana and Vaseegaran for the problems it had caused.
However, before completely dismantling
itself, Vaseegaran comforts
Chitti saying that the latter alone was not responsible for what
happened. And
that humans were responsible too as Chitti only learned
from them. A smiling Chitti finally takes out its head
and dismantles
itself.
The plot advances to 2030 in a museum, where children are escorted by
a guide which displays of Chitti's
body parts arranged. The guide tells
the students that Chitti was the most advanced humanoid robot ever
created, but was dismantled due to "certain reasons". A curious student (Shriya Sharma) asks why, to which
Chitti's head responds, "I started to think".
REACTION AND REALIZATION
All i want to say about this movie is interesting and meaningful because it tells about the advantage and
disadvantage of technology today and in the future.as we all know robot is the product of technology,A
robot is a mechanical or virtual intelligent agent that can
perform tasks automatically or with guidance,
typically by remote
control. In practice, a robot is usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by
computer and electronic programming.the advantage of the robots are Robotics and automatons can
increase
safety, reliability, production amount, profit, quality and quantity of products
in a lot of cases.They
can do jobs in dangerous situations
and save lives of thousands of people.They do not care about the
comfort of
their environment.Robots are the newest members of the hospital support and nursing staff.
From
dispensing medication, to making deliveries and visiting patients,
robots are improving the way hospitals
function. Robots are helping
doctors reach patients across distance. They step in to handle nursing and
support staff shortages and streamline many tedious administrative tasks.there are lot of things that robot can
do that human can't do.but even though they can handled difficult things there are also disadvantage in using
robots.People can lose jobs in factories,It needs a supply of power,spying the privacy of other
people,destroying our environments or even kill us.technology is developing scientist are having their
experiment to improve their robots. but the question is why they are not contented? maybe because they
want to earn more money or they want to kill the less fortunate people who are hardworking .i know that it
is not bad to make a robot but as a human we have the right to control in creating robots because humans
are the creator of machines. so we are the responsible in many things .I realized that to much is
dangerous and making a decision needs a great responsibility and the responsibility has its own consequence
that we should stands for.therefore i conclude that we should love, respect,control and be responsible on
many things that god had given to us.
