The season of the biggies has begun and the first in the list is already out. ‘Robo’ came in with not so great expectations but it has beaten them all and has scored thumping success. Now, this has caused an impact and also an element of terror for the next film in the pipeline when it comes to the US market. We are talking about ‘Khaleja’, the Mahesh Babu starrer.

Reports are arriving that due to ‘Robo’ impact, many of the families who thought of watching it at home are now gearing up to visit the theatres and watch it for the visual appeal and the technical effects. The tickets are priced at nearly $ 20 but the families are not hesitating to go for it. Now, in one week’s time ‘Khaleja’ is arriving but the chances are that it might get a blow.

The reason for that is families cannot spend more and that too in such a short span. It is now heard that they are planning to watch it at home on the internet and some of them are making it clear that they are waiting for the DVDs to arrive. If the percentage of such crowds is high then the chances are very strong that ‘Khaleja’ will get only the youth and that too those who can afford a high rate of dollars. For now, the same fate awaits ‘Brindavanam’ in the US and though the Nandamuri fans are working hard to score a success.

For now, the ‘Robo’ frenzy is causing some fears for the prince and Nandamuri camps. Let us see what happens.

Robot (Hindi) could not make much impact at the box office as it grossed around 7 crore nett in its opening weekend.

The film did better on Saturday and Sunday but the big jump in collections was not there. The collections were mainly from Mumbai circuit (3.25 crore nett) and CPCI (1 crore nett). The North remained very dull.

The shows of Endhiran (Tamil) were much better be it Mumbai, Delhi or Gurgaon but it was a very limited release.

Overall Robot (Hindi) has not done well especially if we look at the release which was pretty wide. It will have to depend on the weekdays and second weekend if it is to put up a decent final total.

The movie ‘Robo’ has been attracting huge attention all over the nation and also among the population of South East Asian nations. The movie reached the expectations of majority audiences. Even the critics from various regions have given a hit rating on a whole. The movie released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi versions in India and hence the critics from North and South have given their instant opinions. Let us see what the popular national portals wrote about ‘Robo’ and its rating.

“That's not all, this Robot is Superman + Spiderman + Terminator + Godzilla, all rolled into one. There's more to this Robot. It can replicate itself, wage a vicious battle, turn into an Anaconda or a monster ball and wipe off an entire army. Whew! Known for larger than life canvas, ROBOT is Shankar's most expensive and if I may say so, his most imaginative film thus far. And who better than Rajnikant for the pivotal role”!

--Bollywoodhungama.com (4/5)

“Parts of the film are superbly entertaining - the scale is spectacular, the story is ambitious and the special effects are impressive. But parts, especially in the second half, are so needlessly stretched and cacophonous, that you're just waiting for it to end. Still, I strongly recommend that you see Robot, to partake in writer-director Shankar's prodigious imagination and to revel in the sheer force of nature that is Rajinikanth”.

--NDTV (3.5/5)

“This is India's most expensive blockbuster. Each crore spent over every minute of this movie shows, if you watch it for the spectacle alone. The sheer scale and special effect of this film remains hitherto unsurpassed in Indian cinema. The film smartly borrows from the genre's Hollywood tradition, right from Terminator to Transformers. Which is to say, there is yet an emotional connect. This film, just a few feet too long, is fine entertainment by itself. I'm evidently an atheist to this religion, so I guess, you can trust this note”.

--Hindustantimes (3/5)

“But Robot isn't effect alone. It has a plot too which, if you really pay attention, has a meaning and a message. The film carries forward the man-machine war through interesting twists and turns and creates a lively love triangle between scientist Rajnikanth, medico student, Aishwarya Rai and robot Rajnikanth”.

--Timesofindia (4/5)

“Dozens of directors claim that they have the commercial formula down pat but none can be compared to Shankar who belongs to the rare breed of film-makers who can actually combine a genre like science-fiction with spicy masala quotient. Here is also where Shankar distinguishes himself as someone who understands star-power and the means to manipulate it: all through the first half, the pace is steady, making use of its star-players' charisma appropriately and unleashing it at others”.

--rediff (3.5/5)

The Rajni fans in Chennai are on cloud infinite at this point of time. They are happy to see their star rocking the nations with his hit flick at the age of 61. Aishwarya Rai pairing up with Rajni also added commercial value to the movie in the biggest way possible. It’s a scale up for director Shankar and Sun Pictures indeed made its presence felt in international movie business.
