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 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.

''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''.
