The story takes turn when chitti is injected with emotions, he starts loving sana (Aishwarya Rai). Sana is a medical student who is also girl friend of Dr. Vasekaran. Dr. Vasekaran doesn't like chitti getting close to Sana and warns him about it. chitti is diverted from his task by Dr. Bora and chitti's behaviour ignited laughter from the approving authority and they disapprove chitti for the same.

Highlights:

* S. Shankers creativity
* Rajini Kanth's acting
* Aishwaryas beauty
* Special effects
* Mosquitos comedy
* Last 30 mins (edge of the seat thrilling scenes)

Performance:

What can we say about a Super Star like Rajini. He just says with this movie why is one of the highest paid actor in asia. He is quite simple as Dr. Vasekaran and showed his usual mannarism with the Robot Character Chitti. This film revolves around the character Chitti and he is the hero as well as villian of the movie. You will feel for chitti towards the end of the movie. This is the acting power of Rajini which shows on screen. Aishwarya was at her usual best. I havent seen so beautiful till date. She looks dashing and her moves in dances are quite pleasing. She has a good screen presence and she does justice to her character. Others were quite apt to their roles and justified their character.

Direction:

S. Shanker proves again again why he is one of the best commerical director in indian cinema. I give major part of the credit to director for his creativity and strong story telling. He is the actual hero of the movie.

Other Department:

Music is good, cant say one of the best of A. R. Rahaman. One song stands out of the lot is the one which was shot in peru. Coming to the presentation of songs first and peru locations songs are awesome. The first song which was shot in desert is really beautiful. We all have heard about the budget ($32 Million) incurred on this project, you will really see it throughout the movie.

Verdict:

Its a superb movie and a feel good entertainer which caters to all age groups. Just go and watch it for real fun. Its a funny as well as an socio fantasy movie with mindblowing creativity. Go and freak yourself.
