That Superstar Rajinikanth's Endhiran/Robot proved to a showstopper in the Indian entertainment scene last year is a well-known fact.
But what's new is that the film is now making waves internationally, especially among movie geeks.
The movie's trailer and a clip from the film (in Russian, no less!), which were posted on a few movie geek websites, have managed to grab eyeballs of film buffs, who are clearly flabbergasted by the film's way over-the-top action sequences.
Comments range from gushing praises to downright derision. "Is Endhiran cheesy? Yes.
Are the effects improbable, and bloody awful? Yes. And does it effortlessly kick ass over anything Hollywood has to offer? Absolutely. This is moviemaking, Hollywood. Take note, and step aside," posts an anonymous commentator, clearly awed by the film. However, another commentator, unimpressed by the film, writes, "There are not enough synonyms for dreadful to adequately describe this paean to absolute dreadfulness."
Incidentally, a few even find the film much better than the popular Transformers movies. "Demented and over the top, yes, but still far FAR FAR better than any of the Transformers movies," mentions another blogger. Take a bow, director Shankar!
