Why Do We Love India? Because of Action Movies like Enthiran (The Robot)

This movie trailer is just one reason why I love India.

People always talk about Bollywood this and Bollywood that, and while I agree there are some great Bollywood films, people always forget about the Tamil side of life. I guarantee that after you watch the trailer for Robot you’ll think twice before you even talk about Indian films because Tollywood has their own set of crazy films that can even rival American films like Shoot ’em Up and Crank 2.

Two years ago I went to India and met a few college students, naturally during my travels with them I had to find out who the biggest names were in the industry. Immediately they blurted out Rajniikanth, a 62 year old action star, and ever since then the name has stuck in my mind. While browsing around today I found this trailer on Twitch for the upcoming Tamil film ENTHIRAN (The Robot) and let’s just say not only did it make me smile, it made me want to fly back to India so I could I enjoy this film in its native country. Check out one of the most ridiculous action trailers you will ever see after the jump.

When you watch this trailer keep in mind that the lead is 62 YEARS OLD! It’s amazing what makeup and technology can do to you today. This is some of the wildest and craziest shit I have seen in an action movie to date and it looks like it will be one hysterical rollercoaster ride. Will it be good? I have no idea but I do plan on finding out.

Just some facts for my Indian readers, Enthiran will be released in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi so you can’t say that this big budget film is shuttering a majority of the country since it’s originally in Tamil.

There are a bunch of promo spots on the back end of this video but the trailer with all the goodies is in the first minute and a half, you’ll be able to figure it out. Check out the trailer and tell me what you think. If you happen to see this movie before it reaches the states please let me know. Thanks and enjoy Enthiran.
