The Tamil film industry experienced the biggest hits ever as Endhiran the Robot, starring RajinikanthRajinikanth and Aishwarya RaiAishwarya Rai released.The film Endhiran has made grand opening records in Tamil Nadu and made awesome collections in Andra Pradesh.
The film is expected to surplus the box office records of all time which is compared to the Hindi Mega hits films like Dabangg and 3 idiots. Rajinikanth looked fresh and perfectly matched with the Bollywood queen Aishwarya Rai. It seems that not only the Tamil people with a population of 65 million donot only accepted but also became popular between the Hindi speaking community grabbing the attention of 700 million people throughout the country and the world.
Its been a shocking calculation – If there would be about 1700 prints ,the calculation would be a whooping Rs.500 Crore in the week which is unbelievable.About 200 crore is spend in the film Endhiran the Robot which is a ll time record in India.
According to Sun Pictures about 2250 prints are made throughout the World.The calculation comes about 70 crore per day so the investment money will be recovered in just 3 days and the expected income from Rajinikanth itself from the film is expected about Rs.50 Crore.
Sun pictures money, shankar's direction, poo kutty's sound, somebody's camera, makeup etc etc. contributes 95% of Robot and yes balance full 5% to rajni.
honestly give the credit to all techs who worked for the money.
In avatar movie, credit to not given to male animated lead, so should be the case for robot

But the most of the crowd who came to see the movie was because of the man.. Rajini!!!

Most of the crowd came to watch this movie because of the advertisement from SUN TV and their marketing expertise. It has nothing to do with Rajini....

Re: Re: Re: Re: Is it a rajni's movie
by TruthAndFact on Oct 07, 2010 11:47 PM
Rajini does not need SUN tv support to run his movies in TN, Karnataka and Kerela.
In Andra he needs a push, if its a Shankar movie it comes automatically....yet Sivaji was a flop in Andra...
In North India without SUN group marketing it through channels, even this movie would've ended up like other Rajini movies FLOP...As Rajini has that masala image that North Indians usually ridicule.. All these substandard movies distributed by SUN wer failures ..thilalangadi,masilamani,vettaikaran,sura but SUn adverts ensured atleast these rubbish movies got some visiblity...
Endhiran is produced by SUN, and so they have taken the extra care...
who cares if a couple of idiots dont like the movie....end of the day it is enough if ppls watch the movie..whether they like it or not is irrelevant...as u pay money for tickets if u watch and not if u like it...so Robot is going to rake the moolah
it seems only the rediff viewers are intent on comparisons and abusing one another on the basis of region,caste and skin colour. Mr. Rajnikanth has delivered a one man blockbuster and gone ahead and screened it specially for bollywood superstars like Amitji and others. In response the ever so dignified Mr. Bachchan has stood up and applauded Rajni sir on his achievement. I wish some of this mutual admiration and respect that these two superstars share had rubbed off on some of their unruly fans as well. Further Rajnikanth also had a special screening for the iconic Dev Anand whom he considers to be his idol. Cinematic legends like Rajnikanth,Amitabh,Dev Anand,Kamal Hassan etc are to be celebrated,not fought for and abused like the way some of the chaps have been doing on this forum for the last 5 days. Grow up people..
Re: grow up fools!!
by Sowri Rajan on Oct 10, 2010 10:59 PM
I could not agree with you more. You rightly put it. Hope people understand and appreciate one another instead of abusing people because of color and region.
Everyday you would find a new article coming up telling the foolish viewers, rage is on and other crap and picking up some two bit activities done by couple of mad men making little or no sense.
The production company has sold this movie for a hefty price and are atrociously promoting this media through North Indian media. In TN SUN DMK has completely monopolized the media- so its easy for them to market this movie. You can find more such articles in the next fews days the reason being if the movie loses its tempo, it would be a big disaster as the investments are yet to be recovered
As for the Rajini Global superstar crap spewed by his illiterate fans,
1) 99.9% of Rajini movies in North India were big flops. Incase of Sivaji apparently decent masala movie like Robot (minus Failed graphics as you see in Robot) the director had no takers and had to release it directly in the cable televison in North.
2) 90% of his dubbed movies in Andra are flop including Sivaji.
How come suddenly people are subscribing this Robot which is clearly not a 200% improvement over Sivaji...Its nothing but the big advertisement from the SUN MEDIA, its rumored they have already shelled out 35 crores so far in all North Indian channels,frantically to make this movie run..
So basically for this mediocre movie Mr Kalanidhi Maran is the real hero and he has demonstrated his global reach. He is the real new superstar, Rajini always remains Rajini...

I saw this guy (he himself calling truthandfact..funny) is posting messages from long back, before the release of film. he has only one intention, that is basing Rajni. Rediff please block this kind of users who is just putting bashing messages without any proper reason..
Re: Robot and the publicity stunts from the media
by TruthAndFact on Oct 06, 2010 11:48 PM
Rajini should be credited for this movie
1) For dragging a substandard script filled with plastic dialogues plus amateurish screen play 2) For running the movie with an actress who cannot act and the performance being ridiculous. 3) For a composer like AR Rahman whose songs appears needless and misfit in the movie and the crappy screenplay makes his BGM's ineffective...
Inspite of all these flaws, Rajini has dragged this movie out of the gutter, but the real SUPER STAR is Mr Kalanidhi Maran, if not for his marketing and entrepreneurship skills, this movie would've been a disaster.
I wish next time Mr Maran and his team produces a really top notch high quality movie and take it to high levels and promote the Tamil Film Industry...rather dragging a mediocre movie like Robot.

Re: Robot and the publicity stunts from the media
by Suresh on Oct 06, 2010 11:52 PM
yes..u r right, For this they organised a publicity stunt of screeing in mUmbai. and had never seen rajni speaking in marathi in national news channels, this is again to grab teh marathi audience to theaters. They have no choice. they had spent 150 cr. and they had to earn much above that

doesnt matter...producers will still make money...as every 1 will watch the movie atleast once (atleaast his fans and village pumpkis)..thats enough to cross 200 crores easily...so the movie is a hit
Re: Re: Robot and the publicity stunts from the media
by TruthAndFact on Oct 07, 2010 12:09 AM
Also its rumored Rajini has got a salary of 45 crore for this movie..If the distributors tell to speak in Marati or dance before theaters he must do it - he has no other options...
Normally this guy Rajini would run to Bangalore or Himalayas during his movie release and watch the collections hidden from some where.
Now he is seen roaming around in public, falling to the feet of politicians like Thackrey, Speaking in Marati, appearing in Hindi news channels and all kinda of publicity tricks...
Concurrently every 9 minutes the trailer of this movie is being played declaring it as a blockbuster..
Its very easy to understand now on whats really happening behind the scenes.

Its far better than the crappy promo that Surya does and Vikram does for their movies!!
Ironically speaking, the Bollywood heroes just beg the people to come and see their movies.. nowadays, they are going abroad too to promote their crappies..
One or two interviews in the local language doesnt stand before the modern promo world!!

Advertisemtn is not forcoing to watch.. Evven Anjaana Anjaani guys do a lots of promo and see the net results.. Who cares abt the movie after the first day viewers come out with review.. I agree u can buy media but MOUTHTALK?? Endhiran/Robot has a very good response from normal viewer and some dont like that movie and its their wish.. But overall, the response from the people is positive..
Re: Re: Re: Re: Robot and the publicity stunts from the media
by Suresh on Oct 07, 2010 12:50 AM
If the movie is really good and had stuff, No need of publicity, Mouth talk is enough. This film team knew that this film is a flop. and thats the reason creating over hype, never observed any hindi movie triallers running on national news channels like CNN, NDTV, headlines so often and many times. the producers just wanted to create an overhype, thereby atleast bring the audince once to teh theater. Thats enough for them to get their money. Anyway, shankar and SUn Pict should have learnt good lesson by now

Fact is that what you blabber is not truth. This shows your IQ about the Super Star and his fame. Nobody promoted Rajni for his Tamil block buster MUTHU when it was the first indian movie ran for 1 year Dancing Maharaja. The producer of the film came from Bankrupt because of this movie. Rajni is the guy who never forgets the ladder from where he climbed. First of all remember SUN Tv became more popular when Rajni's interview was instrumental in change of power during 1996. Infact Maran venture has become Global because of the Magic and Magnetic name called Rajnikanth. As of date No producer or distributor got ruined becoz of Rajnikanth, he even has compensated few losses in his old film. He is the only Super star who has a place in opponents heart too. That is the power and magic of this Great Man not only in reel life but in real life too. It is unfortunate that he has not entered politics. Rather he is testing the waters.
Re: Re: Robot and the publicity stunts from the media

Jagadeesan, you are like any other Rajini fan around like the ones that kneel down, climb the hills or tonsure the heads or pour milk on his postures..because you can neither read nor comprehed..
Muthu was sold for a paltry price in Japan, jut $10000 in 1995..and it ran for a year as a single show in a mini theatre, ironically it didnt set the entire Japan on fire like you idiotic fans choose to delude yourself with. Ask any Japanese fan if you're able to pick a conversation with them...
Japanese initailly thought this guy knows to fight, and subscribed his movie but soon afterwards they realized it was waste of time and money...Apart from Muthu can you let me know the names of other Rajini movies that lasted more than two weeks in Tokyo?
In Robot-Enthirans case its diffirent, if not for the entrepreneurship from the Sun group hardly any one would've watched this movie apart from regular Rajini fan muppets...They are the real superstar for promoting this movie not Rajini...
Re: Re: Re: Robot and the publicity stunts from the media
by TruthAndFact on Oct 07, 2010 01:36 PM
By the way even actress Meena got popular in Japan as much as Rajini after Thillana song in Muthu...Can you say its the MAGENTIC EFFECT IN THE NAME MEENA, CHARISMA AND OTHER RUBBISH YOU RAJINI FAN LOT ASSOCIATE WITH THAT GUY to the actress also...

Comapred to the other movies in Tamil..Robot is not near to the best amony Tamil movies..(except for annimation)...still it broke all records..bollywood movies are watched by majority is urdu hindi ppl ..why it is not making any news..is is so bad to see even once...
Re: Robot..
by Suresh on Oct 06, 2010 10:57 PM
Screening of robot in Mumbai is just a publicity stunt. Producers has burnt their fingers by spending 150 cr on this joker. Just to attract HINDi audience and to attract the channels , thereby creating overhype. Their job became easy, jsut beacuase bollywood first family bahu is invloved in this film and as a respect towards bachan family many actors came for the screeing. Surely, although they said something nice before the channels, privately they should have regretted.One more stunt is meeting Balthackery. What is the necessity for him to meet now? again attracting the media, speaking in marathi and thereby attracting marathi audience to the theatres. There is no choice for this type. They know unless they create artificial overhype, atleast ppl will once come to the theatres.
Re: Re: Re: Robot..
by Suresh on Oct 06, 2010 11:19 PM
The point is how much profit ratio they can earn. They spent 150-180 cr. They should earn much much above that to register profits, which is not possible. That is the reason they are going all out for publicity stunts and overhype. They go on saying It is the highest Budget movie in India, SO WHAT!! The point is how much u spent , how much u earn out of it. For ex..in telugu, Director Jagannath made pokiri with Mahesh babu with mere 12 cr and earned 80 cr. See the profit ratio.. It s not how much u spent. How much earn ? If it was just to make a high budget movie..many corporates and producers are there to spent. That is not a big acheivement
Re: Re: Re: Re: Robot..
by satish chandar on Oct 07, 2010 06:24 PM
If u want PL ratio, u should concentrate on low budget with content and not the high budget movies.. If a movie of budget 150 cr should do 750 cr business, it is ossible only in Hollywood where the universe is the market and not by and Indian movie..
And, u cant make a sci-fi movie with animation like in this movie with 10 cr budget.. Tell the Pokiri director to make movie of this genre with any actor.. If he can assure the same profit ratio, i am ready to produce the movie!!
