Enthiran

Enthiran (எந்திரன், 2010), released as Robot, is an Indian science-fiction blockbuster you can watch online on iFILM. Scientist Vaseegaran builds an android named Chitti in his own image — a machine that fights, memorizes a phone book at a glance, and survives both fire and water. The one thing it lacks is feeling.

Once Vaseegaran writes an emotion module into Chitti, the robot falls in love for the first time — and the woman is Sana, his own creator's fiancée. The flawless assistant turns into a jealous rival, then a full-blown threat. Tamil superstar Rajinikanth plays both the scientist and his robotic double, with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Sana. The climactic battle, where an army of identical Chittis assembles into giant shapes, became a landmark of Indian visual effects.

Director Shankar swings for the fences. At release it was the most expensive Indian film ever made, with effects work from Hollywood houses and large-scale song choreography. Robot mixes a rogue-AI thriller, a love triangle and a musical into nearly three hours where logic gives way to pure spectacle. It is a perfect gateway into Tamil blockbuster cinema and essential viewing for Rajinikanth fans. Stream Enthiran (2010) online on iFILM.
