THE ROBOT CHITTI

THE ROBOT CHITTI 

 

Enthiran is a 2010 Indian Tamil science fiction film co-written and directed by Shankar. The film features Rajinikanth in dual roles, as a scientist and an andro humanoid robot, alongside Aishwarya Rai while Danny Denzongpa, Santhanam, Karunas, Kalabhavan Mani, Devadarshini, and Cochin Haneefa play supporting roles. The film's story revolves around the scientist's struggle to control his creation, the android robot whose software was upgraded to give it the ability to comprehend and generate human emotions. The plan backfires as the robot falls in love with the scientist's fiancée and is further manipulated to bring destruction to the world when it lands in the hands of a rival scientist.

After nearly a decade of pre-production work, the film was shot over two years beginning in 2008. The film marked the Indian cinema-debut of Legacy Effects, which was responsible for the film's animatronics. The film's background score and soundtrack, which was composed by A. R. Rahman, became the best-selling world album on the iTunes Store in three countries within a few days of its digital release. The film released worldwide on 1 October 2010, along with its dubbed versions: Robo in Telugu and Robot in Hindi.Produced by Kalanithi Maran, it is believed to be India's most expensive film since its release. Upon release, it also made the largest worldwide opening for an Indian film.

The film received positive critical acclaim and became a commercial success, collecting the largest opening weekend revenue of any Tamil film. It was claimed to be the highest-grossing Indian film of all time, although because official box office records are not kept in India, this cannot be independently verified. It also went on to receive appraisals from notable celebrities in India and across the globe. The following year, the film won a number of awards during many ceremonies, including that year's National Film Awards and Filmfare Awards South, mainly for its art direction and special effects, which were handled by Sabu Cyril and V. Srinivas Mohan, respectively.

Plot

Dr. Vaseegaran (Rajinikanth), a scientist specialized in robotics, creates a sophisticated android robot (Rajinikanth) in his own likeness after a decade of intensive research, with the intention of joining it to the Indian army. Vaseegaran explains to his assistants Siva (Santhanam) and Ravi (Karunas) that the android must first be observed for its interaction with humans. His mother (Revathi Sankaran) suggests naming it Chitti Babu.

At the International Robotic Conference in Chennai, Vaseegaran introduces Chitti to the delegates. In the meantime, it is revealed that Vaseegaran's mentor, Dr. Bohra (Danny Denzongpa) is preoccupied in a project to create a similar android. Meanwhile, Chitti endears himself to Vaseegaran's girlfriend, Sana (Aishwarya Rai) and helps her cheat in her medical school exams. When they are caught, Sana lies to the investigators that she does not know Chitti; thus Chitti learns that humans may choose to lie for self-preservation.

Vaseegaran prepares Chitti for a panel evaluation by the Artificial Intelligence Research and Development (AIRD) Institute, which is headed by Dr. Bohra. The panel enquires whether Chitti's build conforms to the Three Laws of Robotics of Isaac Asimov. Vaseegaran replies in the negative. During evaluation, Chitti stabs Vaseegaran at Bohra's command, though not fatally. Bohra convinces the evaluation committee that Chitti could not be relied upon in the battlefield because he could be easily manipulated to turn against his handlers. Vaseegaran decides to modify Chitti's neural schema to allow him to understand human behaviour and emotions. Chitti gets angry once on Vaseegaran, which assures him and Sana that Chitti can now feel emotions. Later Chitti applies his text book knowledge of symphysiotomy to successfully handle the complicated childbirth of Latha (Devadarshini), Sana's friend. The procedure is covered live by the media. Dr. Bohra arrives to congratulate Dr. Vaseegaran on the achievement. He also lets Chitti pass the AIRD evaluation. Chitti then begins to see Sana as its romantic interest and makes advances. This triggers a confrontation between Vaseegaran and Chitti. Sana tries to explain to Chitti that she can love him only as a friend and asks him to forget her. Chitti later deliberately fails in an evaluation conducted by the Indian Army. Enraged by the act of insubordination, Vaseegaran chops Chitti into pieces and throws it away in a landfill site.

Bohra retrieves Chitti's parts reassembles it. He gives Chitti a new appearance, and embeds a "red chip" inside Chitti, converting him into a ruthless terminator. Chitti gatecrashes Vaseegaran and Sana's wedding, then kidnaps and imprisons Sana. Chitti begins to create replicas of itself and kills Dr. Bohra. Soon, Chitti's army of robots cause mayhem in the city and takes over the AIRD Institute. Vaseegaran undertakes the task of stopping Chitti. Disguised as one of the robots, he successfully infiltrates the AIRD Institute and instructs the police to cut power supply to the entire city. When Chitti and his army are about to run out of charge, they seize vehicles on the road and use the batteries to recharge themselves. Chitti eventually finds Vaseegaran, but as Chitti is about to kill him, the police force strikes AIRD. One of the robots is immobilized by a grenade explosion and is taken into custody by Vaseegaran. He uploads a worm into Chitti's network which temporarily brings down the robot army. Chitti identifies the source of the worm and sends a "self-destruct" command to the robot. The robots assemble in the shape of a giant and chase Vaseegaran's armoured bus. Vaseegaran uses the data he had backed up from the destroyed robot to de-magnetise the robot army, collapsing the giant formation. Chitti gets captured by a huge magnetic wall, allowing Vaseegaran access to Chitti's internal control panel, through which he instructs all the other robots to self-destruct. He removes the red chip, causing Chitti to calm down.

In a court hearing, the jury rules capital punishment for Vaseegaran, citing the large number of casualties and damages to public property caused by the robot army. Chitti, explaining to the court that the law allows it to be treated as material evidence, if not as a witness, explains that it was Dr. Bohra who caused Chitti's deviant behaviour. He shows the court, using his eyes as 3D projectors, the video footage of Dr. Bohra installing the red chip inside him. The court decides to drop all charges against Vaseegaran, while concluding that Chitti should be dismantled in order to avoid further mishaps of the same kind in future. Back at the lab, an emotional Vaseegaran tells Chitti to dismantle itself. While taking off its own parts one by one, Chitti apologizes to Sana and Vaseegaran for the problems it had caused. However, before completely dismantling itself, Vaseegaran comforts Chitti saying that the latter alone was not responsible for what happened. And that humans were responsible too as Chitti only learned from them. A smiling Chitti finally takes out its head and dismantles itself.

The plot advances to 2030 in a museum, where children are escorted by a guide which displays of Chitti's body parts arranged. The guide tells the students that Chitti was the most advanced humanoid robot ever created, but was dismantled due to "certain reasons". A curious student (Shriya Sharma) asks why, to which Chitti's head responds, "I started to think".


My Reaction Time 

I realize about the movie is that in making or inventing a robot is not just an easy task.We need to have more research, gathering the data to have the best output Robotic or Humanoid.

As What I have seen in this movie that they have a lot of problems and trials they face before they accomplish or achieve in their
 most expensive Robot. Dr. Vaseegaran make a robot named Chitti but he`s mother gave that name exactly ! .Chitti can do whatever commanded by the human. Chitti can drive,cook,dance,sing
and everything what the people says to him.
Dr.Vaseegaran prepares Chitti for a panel evaluation by the Artificial Intelligence Research and Development (AIRD) Institute, which is headed by Dr. Bohra. The panel enquires whether Chitti's build conforms to the Three Laws of Robotics of Isaac Asimov.  Dr. Vaseegaran
 presented  Chitti in public. So the robot must have the intelligence,ability,strength and power on how to act like a real
 human, and the robot must know how to respect,behave and socialize to other people.

Robot can make our life easy with no difficulties because they can do any task even though in its
 bad condition just like Chitti did when their were burning houses in the city. So he
 save many lives and he successfully rescued but the last girl he rescue was taking a bath nude. So the girl ashamed and run but the girl bumped by a car and died. Dr. Vaseegaran was unhappy of what Chitti did.
Bohra test Chitti for them to know if it is approval and safe to use but Bohra din not approve it because he said that Chitti cannot control his self enough, maybe it can hurt
 without knowing it. Bohra said it should be programmed a feelings same as human.So Vaseegaran program him to have a feelings and he was not able in giving emotions to Chitti.
After that event One day robot Chitti has the ability to deliver a baby of Sana`s friend, I was impress of his performance ! and he officially do it ! Good Job Chitti !
 After giving birth a baby, Sana give a kiss to Chitti`s cheek so he feel happy and inlove.
So in the evening Chitti said personally with them that even a robot with feelings could feel inlove with Sana. So Vaseegaran was so very disappointed that why a robot feel in love with his fiance.
Dr. Vaseegaran go to the point that he should destroy it and throw it away. When he destroy this robot Chitti begging for help to Dr. Bohra so he help Chitti to assemble it. Borha decide to upgrade chitti to became a dangerous and harmful robot that is the
 legacy of new Chitti to destroy the human people with no hesitation because of his envy to Dr.Vassegaran.
Chitti gatecrashes in Sana's wedding, then kidnap and imprison Sana. Robot Chitti begins to create replicas or clone of itself
 and kills Dr. Bohra. Soon, Chitti's army of robots cause war in the city and takes over the AIRD Institute. Vaseegaran undertakes the task of stopping Chitti.
If I have the opportunity to make my own robot I will give feelings or emotions to my robot but have the limit so that to avoid discrimination's to humans, putting a software that can manipulate in doing difficult task and have a good manners  and right conduct. To serve and protect people in their basic needs and also a robot that has a good idea to create a peaceful and freedom in World of Technology.
