Here’s the deal – Robot (Endhiran, Robo) is Isaac Asimov on a delirious combination of crack and toddy…and not in a bad way, so to say. The difference owes itself primarily to the gap in the sensibilities of Asimov & Shankar. So, while Asimov tried to stir up a debate on the moral ambiguities of science in I, Robot, Shankar displays a definite view of some parallel theories of physics. And while Asimov lamented on primal human tendencies & social conundrums like subjugation, dependence, creative freedom etc. through Bicentennial Man, Shankar takes a more escapist route, sucking the audience out of their troubled universe and transposing them into the magical fantasy of Rajniverse. And though this difference in sensibilities might not matter to a huge majority out there, it does rankle a lot on a personal note.
