Line 3: ~~The most expensive and third highest grossing movie in Indian history,~~ ''Robot'' (''Endhiran'', in the original Tamil) is an action comedy about the brilliant scientist Dr. Vaseegaran (played by Rajnikanth) who creates an [[Artificial Human]] named Chitti ([[Acting for Two\|also played by Rajinikanth]], though the two characters look very distinct). Intending to offer Chitti to the Indian army, Dr. Vaseegaran first has to teach his creation how to function in society. Though he's superintelligent, Chitti takes things very literally, and he has zero knowledge of social situations. Still, he tries to be as kind and helpful as possible. Dr. Vaseegaran and his beautiful girlfriend Sana (played by [[Aishwarya Rai]]) try everything they can to make Chitti into a real ~~person -- although~~person—although Sana's slowly getting annoyed at how much time her boyfriend spends at work, instead of with her. Unfortunately, Dr. Vaseegaran's old tutor, Professor Bora, is stricken with a rather nasty case of jealousy and sets out to prove that Chitti is unsafe. Chitti encounters further backlash when rescuing people from a burning building, due to his inability to understand Tamil cultural rules. Instead of abandoning Chitti, Dr. Vaseegaran decides to teach the android how to feel emotions and make moral judgements. Dr. Vaseegaran succeeds beyond his wildest dreams, but begins to regret it when Chitti falls in love with Sana. All the while, Professor Bora watches, ready to exploit the tension and frustration between the three. Line 11: [[It Gets Worse]]. It also gets ''really, really awesome''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNXHveyzUvY See for yourself!] ''Robot'' pulls out all the stops when it comes to action, displaying a fantastic level of visual creativity. The film also has ''by far'' the most hilarious and dynamic special effects to ever come out of Bollywood. At the time of its release it was the most expensive Indian film ever made and was the highest grossing movie of 2010 in India; it reigned supreme as the highest grossing [[The Otherwoods\|Tamil film]] for 6 years until the premiere of ''Baahubali: The Beginning''. ~~=== TV tropes include ===~~ {{tropelist}} * [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: {{spoiler\|All it takes is one [[Morality Dial\|"destruction chip"]] to make Chitti turn evil.}} * [[Artificial Human]]: Chitti. * [[Badass Automaton]] * [[~~Big~~Non ~~Lipped~~Sequitur ~~Alligator Moment~~Scene]]: A couple of the songs, particularly the one in front of a replica of Macchu Picchu. * {{spoiler\|[[Bittersweet Ending]]}}: {{spoiler\|At the end, a reprogrammed Chitti convinces the court to not blame Dr. Vaseegaran for the destruction caused by his creation. However, the court decides that Chitti must dismantle himself. Chitti takes this in stead and complies, making peace with Sana and Dr. Vaseegaran as he does.}} * [[Blunt Metaphors Trauma]]: Chitti has this in spades. Line 35: * [[Hive Mind]]: How the many versions of Chitti communicate. * [[Hubris]]: A theme that's brought up a few times. * [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~the Real Monsters]]: The movie touches on this as well. * [[Instant Expert]]: Chitti, thanks to Dr. Vaseegaran installing all kinds of information in his brain. * [["I Want" Song]] * [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Professor Bora. {{spoiler\|He finds a way to turn Chitti evil, and evil Chitti proceeds to kill him.}} * [[Lightning Can Do Anything]]: Dr. Vaseegaran tries and tries to teach Chitti about emotions. It doesn't seem to take until Chitti is struck by a bolt of lightning. * [[Literal -Minded]]: Chitti. * [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler\|Chitti rescues a naked girl from a burning building. Traumatized by the exposure (and by the photographs taken by jackass reporters), she runs into the street to get hit and killed by a bus. Dr. Vaseegaran excoriates Chitti for not finding something with which to cover her. Being a robot, it never occurred to him that such a thing would matter. However, it didn't seem like there was much that he could cover her with, plus Chitti probably only had seconds to spare. This might also be a case of [[Values Dissonance]] for westerners, though they could still understand why the girl was so traumatized.}} * [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]] Line 59: {{reflist}} [[Category:Films of the 2010s]] [[Category:Robot (film)]] [[Category:Film]] [[Category:Bollywood Movies]] [[Category:Bollywood]]
