This is the most talked about movie in recent times. Huge technical values, whopping budget, star casting in high élan and a gen-next concept…all conglomerated to spell out ‘Robo’.
Story:
Dr Vaseekaran (Rajni Kanth) makes a Robot and gives him his own shape. The Robot is omniscient and omnipotent. His motive is to prepare his Robot to join Indian Army. He wishes to make many more such Robots to help Army and reduce loss of lives during wars. But Dr Vaseekaran’s enemy, another scientist (Danny) disproves that his Robot cannot fit to be used for military purposes as it cannot think like a human. He states that it has no emotions and reasoning capacity.
Dr Vaseekaran pumps in human feelings and reasoning capabilities and makes him almost a human. But things turn upside down. Robot starts loving Sana (Aishwarya Rai), the fiancée of Dr Vaseekaran. Robot gets attracted to Sana and that makes Vaseekaran angry. He destroys it.
But the enemy scientist takes the destroyed Robot, repairs it and infuses destructive mechanism in it. He wants it to sell to some international gangsters. But the love for Sana in Robot aggravates as wild possessiveness and that pesters Sana.
Robot becomes very strong physically and becomes like a cruel demon. It even kills the scientist who gives him second birth. It creates massive destruction to society by creating many Robots like itself.
How Dr Vaseekaran deactivates the Robot and brings things to peace is the end of the film.
Performances:
Rajni Kanth is tremendously good at age 60. His moves, his gait and expressions didn’t wane even a bit. He got connected to new age kids and they cannot forget him for rest of their lives. That way Rajni Kanth added another 60 years to his image.
Aishwarya Rai is the true asset for the movie. Her glamour made a lot of difference. As a true goddess of beauty she enchanted everyone.
Danny is apt in serious role. His performance is in contemporary international standards.
If there is anything to speak about the film, that’s technical brilliance.
Music is in gen-next style. Sound is marvelous. Canning of songs is opulent. But the lyrics in Kilimanjaro are lewd and weak. Rest of the songs are fine.
Director Shankar deserves great mention for making this biggest feat possible on Indian screen with a message.
Analysis:
“It is selfishness that we must seek to eliminate. I find that whenever I have made a mistake in my life, it has always been because ‘self’ entered into the calculation. Where self has not been involved, my judgment had gone straight to the mark”- Swamy Vivekananda
This saying of great soul of Indian soil lingers in the mind while watching this film. Knowingly or unknowingly Shankar made a movie basing on this saying.
It’s a movie for world children.
Yes, it truly influences the senses of new generation kids those developed relation only with video games but not human beings. Hardly there are joint families now where grand parents teach morals to kids. And the kids tend to listen only to machine. They tend to follow what machine says. And director Shankar aptly takes the way through machine, the Robot, to teach values.
Kids run away listening to words kama, krotha, lobha, moha, mada, matsarya…but they assimilate that when shown in a dramatic way. That too, not in the style of Chandamama stories. They want something with scientific reasoning. Hence the path is chosen through ‘Robot’.
How peaceful the Robo was and how useful that was to society when it’s free from those 6 evils. And how it becomes detrimental to itself and society when injects them into it. That’s aptly narrated.
The true essence of the movie is narrated in the end. The dialogues delivered by Robot while dismantling himself are hitting the hearts. The dialogues touch every human being with introspection. And at last, a girl looks back and goes with a thoughtful grimace. That is a symbolism for entire world kids those will be in thought process from now.
First half is entertaining. The first 30 minutes of second half are not gripping in right standards. That part is boring. But the climax action episode is marvelous to be on Indian screen. The last few closing dialogues are impressive and with true essence.
Hinduism or Islam or Christianity or Shintiosm or Taosim…every religion says one who is free from anger is the true strong man and one who shuns self is the true atman!!! ‘Anger’, as Sukhabodhananda says, is one letter less to danger. That is the true cause for destruction. Let us wish that this movie sows a seed at least in a few minds of children to prevent self entering into calculation while taking decisions….like a school girl that turns back and goes at the end on the screen..!!!!
Bottom-line: Watch it

Mahesh Babu Sacrificed Rs 2 Cr
Prince Mahesh Babu has been through a lot of transformation in the recent past. For starters, he was known for his rather media shy approach and privacy. But today, he is taking initiative to be amidst the media and also among his fans making them happy with his presence and words.
On the film front, he is taking his own initiatives to ensure that his project comes out smooth. Right now, Mahesh is arriving with ‘Khaleja’ and the news is that he has gone ahead and sacrificed Rs 2 crore from his remuneration. The buzz is that Mahesh gets a fee of Rs 7 crores per film.
This time, however, since the makers were reportedly finding it difficult with the budget, the prince has gone ahead and given a good rebate, as per the unit members. Just recently, Pawan Kalyan did the same with a 5 cr discount. Such gestures from these big stars really work as boosters to the producers.

But Srinivas puts a condition which he wants to exam a lady as great as as a result prefers to crop up in front her in driver’s dress as great as asks Ranga Babu to action as owner. This formula in misinterpretations as great as misunderstandings as great as runs similar to a large humerous entertainment of errors during Manimala’s place.
Finally who marries whom? And how a situations solve down? That forms a story upon a whole.
Actors Performance:
Allari Naresh brought countless laughs as common in a film Saradaga Kasepu. His traffic symbol joke as great as fun done a assembly hang upon to seats. His dialogues have been considerable usually since of his delivery.
Srinivas Avasarala has shown a disproportion from which of ‘Asta Chemma’. He acted up to a purpose as great as ideally matched to be along with Allari Naresh in shade participation as great as appetite levels.
Madhurima looks great though a have up could have been improved for her generally in songs. Costumes have been ok.
Krishna Bhagawan’s humerous entertainment is slight though brings laughs to front benchers. Ahuthi Prasad has got a integrate of estimable dialogues to have assembly laugh. MS is additionally ok. Jaya Prakash Reddy has got wasted.
Final Analysis:
There is no large story. There is no great bid to weave a exegesis with great humor. It usually goes similar to a encampment bus. It’s healthy quick mind which sparks here as great as there in dialogues as great as renditions. As a pretension sounds ‘it’s usually a time pass movie’ as great as no large blasts can be expected.
This time Vamsy strong usually upon lighter moments though not upon something sentimental. That’s commendable to an extent. He as great didn’t leave showcasing a renouned Saree code Kalamandir in a discourse as great as in a stage to get a little await with costumes.
Allari Naresh’s dialogues pulled a little great courtesy usually since of his traffic symbol delivery nonetheless a lines have been really normal. Here have been a couple of to recall:
Allari Naresh: ‘nenu matladetappudu nee chevulu maatrame pani cheyyali. Kaadani inkemi pani chesinaa…ninnu naa subsequent birthday ki pilavanu”.
(when a male shows ride as a pointer to contend ‘done’ in a critical scene) Allari Naresh: entamma..manchineelu kaavala…
Music of Saradaga Kasepu is ok. Chakri seems to be a most appropriate gamble to have a tailor done customized song which fits in a ambience of Vamsi. The canning of songs has got a symbol of Vamsi.
First half goes with normal exegesis whilst a second half picks up with laughs. This is a film which can run for a little time compartment a large cinema arrive.
Overall, a film is value to watch for a humerous entertainment of Allari Naresh as great as Direction of Vasmi. A Good Film.
Bottom Line: Just ok for time pass as the title sounds.
