India’s most expensive film ever made, Endhiran, aka Robot, has a new trailer out, and even though it’s not as long as the last one I posted, you better believe I’m posting every scrap of video I can from this insanely badass-looking movie. This looks like Michael Bay’s wildest wet dream, but with more dancing, and probably less ebonics.
What if Bollywood created a movie with equal parts Iron Man, I, Robot, Bicentennial Man and featured the score of Academy Award-winning composer A.R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire)? S. Shankar’s The Robot looks to be that movie. The film features Rajnikanth in dual roles, as a science professor and a superintelligent android robot.’ [/Film]
I still prefer my previous synopsis, “a giant cobra made of robot men slithers around eating cars.” But you know what they say. Would a giant cobra made of robot men by any other name not still make you want to sing and dance? …Something like that.
This fall… EXTREME! GETS! OUTSOURCED! (*double curry to chesty*)


Now THAT’S a trailer.
Superstar Rajni is one of my favorite superstars.
SPOILER ALERT: In the end the robot successfully saves the call center and everyone can return to work. Yeah!
The thing I love about Bollywood is that Fred Figglehorn would have been sent to a forced labor camp in Jaipur years ago.
From the IMDB review: “The last 30 minutes of the film are literally the grandmaster of all make-believe and end up creating a whole new genre of cinema: … the climax is definitely a sure-fire way to lose your sanity.”
Wasn’t that a B-Pumper lyric?
So…..the robot wasn’t invented to ensure that I get to the airport on time?
SPOILER ALERT: They defeat it by surrounding it with cows until it’s batteries die.
Saks is going to be pissed. Pakistani defense spending to counter this kind of war machine is going to send the price of kashmir through the roof.
They shouldn’t fight it, they should feed it cars in an attempt to curry favor.
All of their sacrifices to Subway’s Jarod did no good. What’s that? Why yes, Jarod is a diety in India. It is afterall… the subcontinent.
The little red ‘ON’ button is missing from the forehead.

Whoa, fell asleep on the keyboard there…
Just throw some water from the Ganges R. on it. That’ll melt that thing down to slag in no time.
Oh my god, y’all, we can’t let India beat us at our own ridiculously overblown CGI blockbuster game. Next thing you know, they’ll be taking all of Hollywood’s jawrbs.
F all these “call center” jokes on India. I’m waiting to see what “Peggy” does to one up this one!
Peggy? OK . . .
I can’t wait to see the sequel, Robot II: Thank You, Come Again.
Is it me or did his glasses change aswell as his hair did?
hhmmmmmmmmmmm
