Biscuit theif speaks: Top 10 mistakes of Endhiran(The Robot)


Gone are the days, when we get the stereotyped response for finding a logical error in an Indian movie saying, “Arey! Its after all an Indian movie”. When we can afford to invest a budget equal to an average International movie, we should also afford to be equal to the standards and be strong with our logics, before making one.

Taking references slash inspirations are a welcome thing in a script. However, trying to replicate a scene which does not fit in, like the Spider man Robot saving the people by flying around, are just a mammoth let down. Tsk.. tsk.. here are some disappointing errors in the Endhiran, that just takes away the awe-factor that has been tried to evoke with the star presence and CG. 

10. Comedy overpowers Titanium body: Initially, when Vasigaran’s assistants make fun of the robot, it thrashes them with its titanium hands and they just rub the pain off like an ant bite.

09. Spiderman robot saves the crowd on fire:  How can a robot with no superhuman powers like flying or web shedding, fly around/make use of a strong potential energy to push himself between buildings, ground and back on top of buildings?!

08. Too rich yet too modest to be true: Vasigaran was established as a super scientist and so was his girl whos rich enough to take care of a hundred women by herself, yet uses a public transport?!

07: Where were the wires gone? : When Dr.Vasi, tears the robot apart, we clearly see the wires cut out and separated. Does that mean that when the robot reassembles itself in the garbage dump, it had had a spare wire set to have had fix itself. (All we see is that it screws the broken hand in.)

06: ACDC effect: When the bots run out of batteries, they go around consuming alternating current supplies, while we all learnt in 7th standard that batteries evoke DC.

05: Snakes no wheels: During the snake formation in the end, the snake combination slithers around in tar roads so smoothly as on ice. There were no wheels or even leg/hand strokes on the ground, like in the Flintstones. (Legacy effects must have had a good laugh designing them) 

04: No magnet only when needed hypothesis:  When Dr.Vasi captures Chiti with a magnet, even the head rotation by the robot with such a strong magnetic force is acceptable. But, it so comfortably turns around the entire body. If that could happen, why couldn’t it just sneak out? 

03: Magnet magnet everywhere, not a bot to link: Chiti could have just used a magnetic censor to find out the blacksheep, couldn’t he? 

02: Expensive cars are anti-explosives: Aishwarya rai, has been proving that she cannot be wounded slash spotted even by a single bullet, from a bunch of thousand bullets flowing from all directions, right from the climax of Raavanan, and shes proved the fact yet again. Long live Aishwarya, long live the cars in which she traves, even with heavy explosives. 

01: Wasn’t that enough?!

Yesterday's Meals on Wheels: Endhiran "the Robot"

Rotten Rating: 0.75 / 5


Before we start: A complete let down is an understatement. It was more like watching a jetson cartoon and a mask movie, without the logics. What not could have been done with all that money, but, its such a pain in the ass to see what we had to see on screen. Money put might have been taken back or even doubled, but the efforts and the resources cannot be assembled together again and must have been made use of in creative way.

Sneak Peek of Tomorrow's Meals on Wheels: GOA

Yesterday's Meals on Wheels: Bas Engira Baskaran

   
Rotten Rating: 0.5 / 5





A small intro before the bitching

Movie reviews are no more fun, with the reviewers just playing along the way the production house want them to play. Spoofs are no more fun, with the performers running out of slapsticks and gestures. Thus,giving way to a different attempt of combining the movie reviews along with spoof characters, in the form of stick figures a.k.a the biscuit thieves.

This attempt is an inspiration from the already famous, Rizwan's 'thevigilidiot', with his funny reviews with the unintentionally funny must watch bollywood and hollywood movie series. Since, there is a lot of scope for mocking at the south (majorly tamil) movies as well, there evolves the biscuit theives.

Thats about it I guess. And the series of mocking would be called "Yesterdays Meals on Wheels", if you know what that means? ;-)
