Internet Has Found A Glaring Mistake In Rajinikanth’s Chitti (Picture Credit: IMDb)
The internet is truly surprised after it has found a glaring mistake in Rajinikanth‘s film Enthiran, which was released as Robot in Hindi. The film has Rajini Anna playing a robot called Chitti, and everyone loved it instantly. However, now, 14 years after the release of the film, the internet has observed something surprising.
A user may, while watching the film on Ott, notice how Chitti answered a mathematical query totally wrong. In the scene, Chitti is asked about the Fibonacci series, and he confidently answers the query.
However, a user has now pointed out how director Shankar never cross-checked that the answer Rajini Anna‘s Chitti gives is entirely wrong. The post pointed out how Enthiran Chitti says 24157817 is the 22nd Fibonacci number. But the 22nd Fibonacci number is 17711. In fact, 24157817 is the 37th Fibonacci number.

Shah Rukh Khan & Rajinikanth’s Rejection History Goes Way Beyond Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Thalaivar 171(Photo Credit –Instagram/Facebook)
Shah Rukh Khan has rejected a Rajinikanth film. That’s it, that’s the news for the day. It is surprising as well as shocking since who says no to Anna, right? However, what is more surprising it that the actor did not give a second thought as well, before rejecting the role since he was very sure about one thing – not doing cameos anymore.
If you don’t remember clearly, then we might brush your memory a little. In the past few years, Srk has done way more cameos than films. This includes his presence in Brahmastra, Rocketry, and Tiger 3. In fact, he is even expected to have a cameo in Suhana Khan’s next film, which is being directed by Sujoy Ghosh.
According to a report by Pinkvilla,...

Director Atlee’s “Jawan,” starring Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, is the highest grossing Indian film of the year with $138.6 million. With 91%, it has also become the first Indian film to surpass the 90% level critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, above Karan Johar’s “Rocky aur Rani kii Prem Kahaani” (88%) and Khan’s own “Pathaan” (83%).
Atlee apprenticed with renowned blockbuster maker S. Shankar on “Enthiran” (2010), starring Rajinikanth, and “Nanban” (2012), starring Vijay, and made his directorial debut with Fox Star Studios’ “Raja Rani” (2013).
“Jawan” began in 2019 when Atlee received a call from Khan’s production company Red Chillies Entertainment requesting a meeting and initially thought it was a prank. It took a mutual friend – producer Aalif Surti (“Soorarai Pottru”) – to convince Atlee he wasn’t being pranked. Atlee met Khan at his Mumbai residence Mannat and realized that the star was serious about working together.

India pulled another big win at the global box office. Shah Rukh Khan’s action-filled political melodrama “Jawan” has zoomed past $113 million worldwide in just over two weeks. With $112 million thus far, it now seems sure to pass the $130 million total of Skr’s “Pathan” to become the highest Bollywood earner ever. It may end up as the fourth-biggest Indian earner worldwide, behind only “Rrr,” “Kgf 2” and “Baahubali: The Conclusion.”
That makes two-for-two for Shah Rukh Khan, with a third film, “Dunki,” from “3 Idiots” director Raju Hirani arriving in December. Srk might release three movies in one year that end up becoming the first, second and third-biggest Bollywood films ever. That’s movie stardom on an unheard-of scale.
Considering Bollywood’s recent box office slump, Srk is almost single-handedly keeping it in the game.
The picture concerns a would-be Robin Hood committing public crimes to bring attention to pressing social issues.

AnalysisWill the success of Nelson Dilipkumar’s ‘Jailer’ not just at the box-office but also in terms of overall appeal encourage Rajini to pave a new path, where he plays the main character but where the scenes are not packed with Rajini-isms?It has been almost two weeks since the much-awaited Superstar Rajinikanth film Jailer hit the theatres and by all accounts, it is turning out to be a massive hit. Keeping aside the box-office numbers that are coming in from different sources, it is clear that Jailer has succeeded because it is appealing not just to Rajini’s hard-core fan base but also to the general film-going audiences. This must come as a major relief to Rajinikanth himself, for whom such an unqualified success was eluding probably since Enthiran. Those following Rajini and his choice of scripts and directors can feel his dilemma in charting a future course for himself considering his age,...

Pookutty shared the award with Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke. The then 37-year-old Pookutty was an unknown name in the country, but it was not to remain so after the Oscar.
But the highlight was when the then Left government led by V.S. Achuthanandan decided to give him a hero’s welcome and the person who was asked to head the welcoming committee was the then Culture Minister M.A. Baby, at present a Cpi-m politburo member.
And on that day in 2009, his tiny village in Kollam district – Anchal – woke up to welcome their dearest son.
Soon Pookutty became the most popular personality in Kerala and stories of his childhood and how he studied under a kerosene lamp and his daily walk to the school about 10 kms all became news.
Also written was how a bus checker’s son, the youngest of eight children, the hardworking Pookutty was able to rise to the highest level.

The film, which was released in five Indian languages, is a fictional tale based on real life heroes Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem who fought for adivasi rights and stood up to the might of the British empire. While there is no historical record of the two of them fighting together, the film explores the idea of them meeting and uniting for a cause. Soon after the film hit theatres though, it came under criticism from a section of the audience for casting the two activists in the mould of Hindu mythological characters.

The latest take on Toho’s iconic, building-crushing lizard comes in the form of Godzilla Singular Point, an anime series now available in dubbed form on Netflix. Taking place in the not-too-distant future, this reimagining of the King of Monsters involves a group of human characters becoming aware – through rather bizarre ways – of a coming apocalyptic event. Now the only thing that can save them is a behemoth out to punch monsters and look out for the little guy.
No, not Godzilla. He’s actually the apocalyptic event. No, our hero is none other than Jet Jaguar.
Yes, it’s finally time for Jet Jaguar to get his due.
A concept nearly 50 years old at this point, Jet Jaguar is one of those characters who was initially doomed to fail, but lives on due to nostalgia and the golden notion of, “I realize most people hated that thing from my childhood,...
