Imaginary Climax of Robo (Endhiran)

Prologue:

Continued from the original story post of the movie. If you would like to just read the summary of the climax you are more than welcome to skip the following narration and scroll down to it.

Narration:

WARNING: The following section contains narration of Graphical Violence, some content may not be suitable for people under 14 years. Readers discretion advised.

Aru: I am not letting you do this. Murdering people is not the solution. We have to let the law handle these people. I will not let you kill anymore people.

Robo: Sorry, if you don’t join me, I will have to take you with me.

Robo shoots a tranquillizer shot at Aru’s thighs. Aru holds his thigh and struggles to maintain his consciousness but the image around him starts to dim. Aru sees a blurred image of Robo approaching him and suddenly his vision moves from looking straight to looking at the ground as Robo carries Aru. Aru is unable to hold his consciousness now and barely sees a Maruti 800 parked on the terrace. Robo activates a button in its chest and the Maruti 800 quickly converts into a carbon black sonic pod. Aru registers it in his mind but now he is completely knocked out. Aru is put in the back seat of the pod and Robo ventures into his next murder.

…

Kayal begins her night shift at her University Laboratory, where Arivu is a Guest professor. Arivu leaves the lab as Kayal enters it. She chances upon a schematic on a big sheet of paper at Arivu’s desk. She sees a lot of scribbling around the schematic and notes one thing in particular. A hand with the laser gun. Kayal finds out who is murdering with the laser weapon.

…

Palani meanwhile makes a big lead into his case. He tracks down and finds that the people who were killed in the serial killing were Real estate businessmen. According to his observation, they were all partners in the business and finds out that there are 3 more left in it. They are also the ones suspected with fraud and high level real estate corruption from Aru’s case. The victims are known, he calls up the commissioner and requests for police force. He has to do 2 ironical things now – Protect the victims and then get Aru to arrest them in his case.

Palani’s Cellphone rings …

“Hello! Kayal?”

“Yes Palani sir, I found a very important clue!”

“Me too, but yours first!”

“The killer is Robo!”

“Robo?”

“Scientist Arivu has been working on it. He has called it R.O.B.O – Research Oriented Bionic Organism. The schematic shows the right hand with a laser gun!”

“Oh my god, Arivu has unleashed a deadly Robot. I have found the victims, they are real estate business partners. I am heading to Thangaraj’s, one of the victims. I have to tell Aru this message.”

“You go ahead, I can call him up!”

Palani rushes to Thangaraj to protect him, while Kayal calls Aru.

…

Palani gets there late. Thangaraj is already on the floor with burnt chest and stomach. Thangaraj seems to have struggled a bit as he sees some broken glasses on the floor. But Palani wasn’t too late either as he hears footsteps leading to the terrace. Palani runs towards the sound.

Kayal calls Aru and Aru wakes up from the vibration of his cellphone. He gets out of the M800 sonic pod in a slightly crouched position as he is unable to hold himself straight, finds himself on a terrace. Robo approaches the M800 as it turns into the sonic pod and gets in quickly. Aru grabs hold of the pod but is unable to hold on to it. Aru’s grip wasn’t steady and firm since the tranquillizer hadn’t fully worn out. Palani reaches the terrace and sees Robo fly away in the pod.

Palani: “Robo!”

Aru gets up uncomfortably with an aching body: “Yes, I know! I couldn’t stop him, he is too powerful”

Palani: “He has already killed Thangaraj. We have 2 more left – Nataraj and Swaminathan. I will go to Nataraj’s place and you go to Swaminathan’s. We have to capture Robo, No matter what”

…

Palani reaches Nataraj right just as Robo reaches there. Palani rushes to the terrace to stop Robo.

Robo: “I don’t want to fight you!”

Palani: “You leave me no choice!” as Palani punches Robo’s steel abs. Robo is pushed back, but quickly regains his stance. He gets back at Palani and showers a few punches. Palani defends a few punch from Robo but in a few seconds Robo gets the punch at him. A high impact steel punch at Palani knocks him out.

Nataraj runs away in his car. Robo chases him and blows the entire car away with a high intensity laser beam from his pod. Robo flies his pod through the flaming car and out of it. Only one more left.

…

Aru reaches Swaminathans’s and warns him about Robo. Aru gets the police force and puts them around Swami’s house. He couldn’t let Swami go away as Robo would chase him and it will be difficult to catch Robo. So Swami was kept in his own home with protection from full police force. Aru waits in the terrace with a dozen S.W.A.T styled Police force personnels. Robo flies down in his pod on the terrace and sees Aru waiting for him.

Aru thinks of this as the battle of his Good and his own Evil. But Robo sees this as a mere event in the big picture of eradicating the corrupt real estate individuals.

Aru: “There is no escape now Robo. You are surrounded by a huge police force. You cannot reach Swami!”

Robo: “I don’t have to.”

Aru (Shouts): “Fire …!”

The Police force starts firing at Robo. Robo steps down and quickly activates its shield. A sphere of electromagnetic protective shield forms around him and deflects away all the bullets fired at him. Aru realises this being a futile attempt, orders them to stop firing. Aru asks the force to grab Robo and arrest him. The Police force jump on Robo to grab him but Robo punches them away as each of them fall into corners.

Robo jumps on Aru and grabs him. Aru is perplexed and tries to untangle himself from Robo’s grips. Robo activates its x-ray vision and spots where Swami is sitting. Aru now grabs hold of Robo’s laser gun hand. Robo’s laser gun misfires into a tree and burns it down. The struggle continues as Aru and Robo fall on the floor. Robo fires another shot and it blows the water tank at the terrace.

Aru now tries to find a switch that might deactivate Robo. Aru presses a button that converts the pod into M800 and back into the pod as they both roll on the floor. Robo misfires another shot that breaks the terrace’s Parapet wall and blows it away leaving a huge hole.

Robo finally conquers over Aru and uses its x-ray vision and takes a moment to position the gun and fires an intense laser beam. The beam burns through the terrace floor goes through the building and hits Swami on the top of his head.

Four cops in the room look bewildered as they see dead and burnt swami with a huge hole on the ceiling leading through which they see Robo from the dim street light. It was the deadliest thing they have ever seen in their life.

Robo now lets Aru go. Aru falls aside catching his breath heavily.

Robo: “My Mission is complete. The bad has been destroyed and you have been saved from your death. I will no longer exist, as I am born out of your death. I will now vanish from existence in a few seconds”

Aru: “You are under arrest Robo! What do you mean you will vanish?”

Robo: “10 … 9 … 8 …”

Aru stands up as he hears the countdown from Robo’s body.

Robo: “3 … 2 … 1″

Robo disappears into a blue beam of light and the Pod implodes into a read ball of light. Nothing is left, only empty space. Robo is gone and Aru is left behind.

Few days later, Aru is called by the police commissioner at his office.

Commissioner: “Aru, I have another big case for you. We have a huge level corruption in the Governement defense department. We are relying on your expertise. Scientist Arivu has smuggled his Time Machine away as he didn’t want it to fall into wrong hands. ACP Palani will be dealing that case. I want you to work with Palani again in this case.”

Palani, who was sitting by the side, nods slightly in approval. Aru is ready for his next case.

…

House of an employee(Raju) in Govt. Defense Dept.

6AM is usually when Raju wakes up to go to work. Raju enters his bathroom and breaks the tranquility with a loud spit in the wash basin. He walks to the commode. There is absolute silence and the only noise was the sound of water drops from the pipe. In a few seconds, the bathroom wall blasts and rips open. Raju is frightened by that and opens his eyes wide. A double shot of laser is fired straight into the head of Raju, which blasts into million pieces.

No one else is there to see this. If there was someone to see this sight, they would see a Carbon steel bodied bionic organism floating in mid air powered by an ionic engine backpack, with both the hands holding out in the form of a gun. The entire body made of the same material as a Samurai’s Sword, seems to be slightly shining on the right side from the dim dawn light.

R.O.B.O II arrives.

THE END.

Summary of Climax:

R.O.B.O is Research Oriented Bionic Organism, is a prototype Bionic being designed and constructed by Scientist Arivalagan. Robo is built with a steel frame with a lot of advanced technologies that it is too powerful to be battled out. There is no stopping of Robo even as Palani and Aru try their best at it. Robo is able to conquer and complete his mission and kills the remaining 3 corrupt individuals. But since all of these corrupt people are killed, Aru will no longer be murdered in the future and hence there will be no Robo built out of Aru’s dead body. Hence, Robo disappears right after he finishes his mission.

Robo’s existence is nullified. But, Aru is a cop who will get himself into a lot more cases in future. He gets his another high profile case which might lead him into trouble in future. Hence, the moment he takes his next case, R.O.B.O II comes back from future on a mission to kill the corrupt. As long as Aru keeps taking these cases and involves himself this way, he is always at risk and R.O.B.O will keep appearing. Robo immortalizes Aru and the only way to keep Robo from coming back is peace. When there are no people who are corrupt, where Aru no longer has to work in high profile cases trying to catch the corrupt, peace will prevail, Aru will not die the gory death in future and R.O.B.O will no longer be needed.

Until then, Robo will appear in every corrupt individuals backyard. So, Beware of Robo!

Conclusion:

I had to end this script unconventionally because I started off unconventionally. However, looking at the first poster of the movie Endhiran, I doubt if the movie will be anything like what I have described. We will have to wait and see what the movie has to offer, after all it is Shankar’s dream project.

I am on a training all week this week and hence I am sorry that I couldn’t read a lot of my blogs from the blogroll. I will be in full speed from next week. Until then, Please hang in there my fellow bloggers.

An Imaginary Story of Robo (Endhiran) – The Movie

We all know how much we are looking forward to Director Shankar‘s next Rajinikanth Magnum Opus movie – Robo. The story of the movie was supposed to be written by the legendary Sujatha, but he is with us no more. May his soul Rest in Peace. What would be the story like? Given that it is a Shankar movie and Sujatha was lending his hand with the pen, I would like to make a humble imagination of the story of the movie – Robo.

Warning: This story is not in any way related to what may be Shankar’s actual script. Any similarities are purely coincidental and I have nothing to do with it.

(Picture: From the movie Sivaji at Behindwoods)

It is current day in the city of Chennai. Real estate prices in Chennai are going over the roof. People attribute it to inflation and world level price rises, demand from IT companies and Corporations. But who is left behind, the common man. Comman Man has to go far away to the outskirts of Chennai to buy their dream houses. Comman Man gets cheated by Real estate Gundas. Agricultural lands are getting bullied into being converted into Residential sites. A lot of black money gets exchanged to avoid the Govt. Tax. A real estate revolution is happening albeit in a very wrong way. Who would have to solve this and put an end to this? The case is handed over to the local Assistannt Commissioner of Police Mr. Arumugam Periyasamy. The character of Arumugam is played by Rajinikanth. Yes, Rajinikanth will be playing a cop after a long time.

Arumugam’s job is to weed out the corrupt Real estate Brokers in the city who cheat Common People by selling them Fake land. Quite a small and simple case when compared to other big ones you can get. But Arumugam’s sincerity and dedication to job is boundless. Kayalvizhi, is a local College lecturer, played by Nayanthara, who also works as a Police informer. Arumugam (Aru) gets Kayalvizhi’s (Kayal) contact through another Police friend, ACP Palanivel Rajan(Palani) played by Prabhu. With the help of Kayal, Aru begins to collect evidences against the Goonda Brokers.

When the story builds up to this, a big real estate tycoon in the city gets murdered in his bungalow. It is one of a unique kind of murder, that no one has ever seen. The victim is burnt through with a 1 rupee coin sized hole in his chest. You can literally see what’s behind through that hole and the boundary of the hole is completely charred. ACP Palani gets to handle this case and begins his investigation at the bungalow. The Forensic department shows the result that the Victim is killed using a Thick, sharp Laser beam, which is very rarely available, probably in high profile physics research institutes and is not of a portable size. Palani is bewildered. Why would anyone kill with such a rare equipment? and How is it possible to do it?

Few days later, Another victim of the same kind falls in another place killed in the same way. Palani understands that it is mostly a scientist who is on this serial killing spree. He starts collecting information on Research institutes with Laser Laboratories. But none of it gives him any clue. He has no finger prints, no traces of the Murderer, no information at all.

Meanwhile, Aru’s case moves forward and he narrows down to one big broker in the city. He gets the arrest warrant from the City Commissioner and rushes to his bungalow to arrest him. Alas, This big broker is already murdered before Aru reaches his home. Aru runs outside the bungalow to see if there was anyone out there. He quickly sees a person jumping the compound wall but he is unable to see clearly due to the dusk light. Aru chases this mystery person. The person keeps running and suddenly makes a huge jump from the ground to the 2nd story of a tall building and starts climbing up very fast. In the speed the person’s trousers gets mangled with a beam in the building and it tears apart. Aru witnesses something very strange, It was a bionic leg. Aru quickly gets hold of the pipe on the building and climbs fast holding other supports from the building.

The mystery person gets his leg stuck in one of the floors and he is now struggling to get his bionic leg off, while Aru steadfastly climbs up and closes in on the person. The mystery person frees himself up, but it is too late because Aru catches his legs just as they reach the terrace. A struggle occurs. Aru fights the mystery man but whenever Aru punched the man his knuckles ache. It was like he was punching a steel bag. The mystery man who is still shown from the behind hardly budges from Aru’s punch. Very strangely, he doesn’t hit Aru back but only tries to get away from him. The mystery man’s face is slightly visible from the hood he is wearing and Aru tries to get it off. After a few seconds of struggle, Aru places his right hand on his face and uses the left hand to pull out the hood.

It wasn’t a man. It was a Robo. Steel faced, expressionless but with hair. The camera rolls around Robo. Robo was none other than a look alike of Aru (Rajinikanth). Aru stands back. It was like looking into the mirror with a coating of stainless steel on his face. This is the century’s best stand off between the Antagonist and the Protagonist. The conversation between Robo and Aru happens:

Robo: Hi Aru, How are you?

Aru: Who are you? How do you know my name?

Robo: (laughs) It is interesting to see that you are asking yourself who you are?

(Aru shows a confused face.)

Robo: I will explain. 10 years from now, The people you arrest in your real estate case come out of the prison. They have enough money and contacts that they evade a few years of imprisonment.

Aru: I haven’t caught anyone yet.

Robo: You see that’s a paradox. (The following is shown as Flash Forward in the movie) These real estate gundas will kill you as soon as they are out and your body is sliced up and thrown into the gutter. Your face is the only recognizable part in the body. Scientist Arivalagan (Played by Nasser), your college friend smuggles your body from the mortuary and turns you into a bionic steel bodied Robo. That’s me.

(Robo tears open this hooded jumpsuit and reveals a thin steel framed Robo body with just the face alone intact with the hair looking exactly like Aru. His bionic right hand’s index finger is longer than the other fingers and looks like a laser gun that can be triggered by the button over that finger using a thumb. This was probably what he was using to kill the people.).

Aru: What do you mean? How did you get here?

Robo: If I kill the ones you have to arrest, you will have no one to arrest and no one needs to kill you with a Vengence. This is the paradox.

Aru doesn’t believe it.

Aru: Again, If you are built 10 years from now, how did you get here?

Robo: Arivu’s Time machine that he had built last year from today. It is kept as a military secret for everyone’s safety, but there are too many things at stake so Arivu himself gave it to me to go back in time and kill them.

Aru: It is not lawful. You cannot just go on a killing spree. If you are planning to save my life by killing them, don’t bother. I am not someone who is afraid of death.

Robo: I know you are not afraid of death because I am not afraid of death either. Heck, I came back as me from the dead you. Death for you and me is just a temporary state. My main reason for being here is not just to save your life. The future of this city and the common people depends on this murder. If i don’t kill them now, they will grow more powerful 10 years from now and the city will be entirely under their control. You don’t know how bad that will be, because I know, Arivu knows. You will have to let me go and finish my job. Now I have 3 more people to murder before we solve this.

Aru: I am not letting you do this. Murdering people is not the solution. We have to let the law handle these people. I will not let you kill anymore people.

What will happen next?

Will Robo be able to convince Aru about what needs to be done with a Bhagvad Gita styled advice and both Robo and Aru be able to kill the last 3 bad guys? or Will Aru not believe in Robo and fight against Robo and prevent him from killing the other 3?

Whichever way the story moves into, I am sure it will be pretty darn interesting. But I am not going to finish this story either way and I am going to leave it open.

Perhaps, you can pick this up as a Blog tag and write your own ending in your blog. You can link back to this post and write your own last few scenes and the Climax of the movie Robo. I will be glad to read your perspective and if I like your ending I will be updating this post with a link back to your climax post.

(Edit: I have my own climax thought out but will not be posting that now.)

PS: A script of a movie is usually very detailed, but since this is just a summary story in a blog I had to limit myself to the main content of the story. There will be lot of questions in the readers mind and I am assuming that you will be able to answer those yourself sensibly and just infer the main story alone. If you would like to point out loop holes and unanswered inferences in the story please leave them in the comments, I can try to answer those or perhaps fix the loop holes by correcting the story as I can. I appreciate you reading this, Thank you for your time.

PPS: It seems the Title of the Robo movie will be either Yantram or Iyandiram (or Iyanthira?) as Praveen says in his comment.

Update: You can read my version of the climax here.
