剧情简介
工学博士瓦西经过10年的努力，制造出了一台与自己相似的高性能人形机器人。这台由瓦西的母亲命名为“七弟”的人形机器人，拥有强大的力量和清晰的头脑，惩罚了城市的流氓，保护了瓦西的未婚妻萨娜，表现得如同超级英雄一般。瓦西带着七弟参加AIRD的评估，在评估过程中，波拉教授错误指导七弟刺伤瓦西，这使评估委员会得出结论，认为该机器人是一个危害社会的机器，并且拒绝军方的评估通过，在回家的路上，公寓小区发生了火灾，瓦西命令七弟参与解救被困居民。七弟在火灾中的公寓大楼解救居民时。有一个中年妇女说他的女儿在洗澡的时候被困入火场，七弟由于缺乏情感、常识和分寸感，没有听清楚指令导致被解救的裸身女孩因羞愤而跑到马路，从而被一辆货车撞死。瓦西请求波拉教授再给一个月的时间来安装七弟行为和情感模式之软件，使它能够理解人类的行为和情感，波拉教授同意了，并且向瓦西的两名研究员喜娃、拉威要求提供神经回路的数据。在截止日期即将到来时，瓦西指责七弟，七弟开始生气。经过努力，瓦西终于成功地让七弟拥有了情感，七弟在萨娜的姐姐拉塔腹部疼痛临盆的时候使用萨娜的教科书和一种传统的顺产方式来帮助萨娜的姐姐拉塔解决分娩并发症。波拉教授祝贺瓦西，并接受了七弟的AIRD评估。在萨娜祝贺七弟之后开始亲吻，七弟对萨娜产生了浪漫的感情。

七弟太爱萨娜，以至于七弟变得与瓦西争夺萨娜。然而在派对现场，瓦西突然宣布与萨娜结婚。七弟震惊不已，萨娜给七弟讲道理说“爱是人与人之间的”。七弟在印度军方评估通过时，七弟开始自言自语地吟诗对萨娜的爱情、以及胡乱编排军方的疯话，导致军方评估成员开始嘲笑瓦西和七弟。瓦西愤怒之下，用消防斧将七弟拆毁，然后被喜娃、拉威倒进垃圾箱。然而，波拉教授注意到了这一幕，并从垃圾堆场回收了七弟的残件。波拉教授修复了七弟，并用温柔的话语安慰七弟，成功获取了七弟的神经回路数据。随后，波拉教授在瓦西的神经回路技术基础上，为七弟植入了一个红色芯片，将其变成了一个杀人如麻的杀人机器。波拉教授告诉喜娃和拉威，他这样做是为了通过他的生意赚钱拿好处，并把烂摊子丢给瓦西。七弟闯入瓦西和萨娜的婚礼现场，绑架了萨娜，杀害了许多警察，之后逃之夭夭。

然而，作为杀人机器复活的七弟不仅杀害了波拉教授，还利用了他的机器人骨架大量生产自己的复制体。七弟限制萨娜行动，并将萨娜囚禁在七弟的“城堡”里。为了拯救萨娜，瓦西假扮成七弟的机器人手下潜入他的“城堡”。虽然成功与萨娜取得联系，但被七弟发现并被七弟快要杀害的同时，荷枪实弹的印度军警人员包围了七弟的“城堡”，特种部队突入“城堡”内部与七弟机器人军队交火，成功逃脱的瓦西和萨娜一起坐上AIRD的车辆，指挥着军警人员，与七弟进行最终对决。瓦西最终利用磁墙捕获了七弟，并骇入了七弟内部控制面板，命令所有其他机器人自毁，并移除了七弟的红色芯片。

在法庭的审判中，瓦西因上百个七弟机器人军队造成数百人伤亡而被判死刑，但七弟解释说：“因机器出错而闹出人命，不是杀戮。”并向法庭展示了波拉教授安装红色芯片的视频。法庭判决了瓦西无罪释放，但命令瓦西在执法人员的监督下拆解七弟。瓦西别无选择，要求七弟自我解体。七弟在向萨娜和瓦西道歉后进行了自我拆解，并获得了众人的原谅。

20年后，拆解后的七弟已经成为人工智能博物馆之展品。一个参观博物馆的小学学生问带队的老师为什么七弟被拆解了，七弟回答说：“因为我开始自我思考。”

剧情
After a decade of research, the scientist Vaseegaran creates a sophisticated android robot with the help of his assistants, Siva and Ravi, to commission it into the Indian Army. He introduces the robot, named , at a robotics conference in Chennai. Chitti helps Sana, Vaseegaran's medical student girlfriend, cheat in her examination, then saves her from being assaulted by a group of thugs. Vaseegaran's mentor, Professor Bohra, is secretly engaged in a project to create similar android robots for a terrorist organisation, but has so far been unsuccessful.

Vaseegaran prepares Chitti for an evaluation by the Artificial Intelligence Research and Development (AIRD) Institute, which is headed by Bohra. During the evaluation, Chitti attempts to stab Vaseegaran at Bohra's command, which convinces the evaluation committee that the robot is a liability and cannot be used for military purposes. Vaseegaran's effort to prove Bohra wrong fails when he deploys Chitti to rescue people from a burning building. The robot saves most of them, including a girl named Selvi who was bathing at the time, but she is ashamed at being seen naked on camera and flees, only to be hit and killed by a truck. Vaseegaran asks for one month to modify Chitti's to enable it to understand human behaviour and emotions, to which Bohra agrees. While nearing the deadline, Chitti becomes angry with Vaseegaran, demonstrating to him that it can manifest emotions.

Chitti uses Sana's textbooks to successfully help Sana's sister Latha give birth to a child. Bohra congratulates Vaseegaran on the achievement and allows Chitti to pass the AIRD evaluation. Chitti develops romantic feelings for Sana after she congratulates Chitti by kissing it. When Vaseegaran and Sana realise this, Sana explains to Chitti that they are only friends. Saddened by Sana's rejection, yet still in love with her, Chitti deliberately fails an evaluation conducted by the Indian Army. Enraged, Vaseegaran chops Chitti into pieces, which are dumped by Siva and Ravi into a landfill site.

Bohra visits the site to retrieve Chitti, which has now reassembled itself, albeit in a damaged state. Bohra embeds a red chip inside Chitti while reconstructing it, converting it into version 2.0, which is more aggressive and unempathetic. It then gatecrashes Vaseegaran and Sana's wedding, kidnaps Sana, creates replicas of itself and kills Bohra. Using its robot army, Chitti occupies AIRD and causes mayhem in the city. After informing Sana that it has acquired the human ability to reproduce, Chitti wishes to marry her so that a machine and a human being can give birth to a preprogrammed child, but Sana refuses. It eventually finds Vaseegaran, who entered AIRD to stop it, and nearly kills him before the police appear. The ensuing battle between Chitti's robot army and the police personnel leads to a lot of property destruction and many casualties. Vaseegaran eventually captures Chitti using a magnetic wall and accesses its internal control panel, whereby he instructs all the other robots to self-destruct. He then removes Chitti's red chip, calming it.

In a court hearing, Vaseegaran is sentenced to death for the casualties and damages caused by the robot army, but Chitti explains that it was Bohra who caused its deviant behaviour and shows the court video footage of Bohra installing the red chip. The court releases Vaseegaran, while ordering that Chitti be dismantled. Left with no choice, Vaseegaran asks Chitti to dismantle itself. While saying goodbye, Chitti apologises to Vaseegaran and Sana, who forgive it, before dismantling itself.

The film's setting then shifts to 2030. Chitti is now a museum exhibit. A curious school student on excursion asks her guide why it was dismantled, to which Chitti responds, "Naan sinthikka arambichen" (I started thinking).

Filming began on 15 February 2008 at in Chennai.They visited Austria, Germany, Peru, Brazil and Argentina, looking for a backdrop to shoot the "Kilimanjaro" and "Kadhal Anukkal" segments,eventually deciding on Peru and Brazil.It was choreographed by and supervised by Fernando Astete, director of the Machu Picchu archaeological park."Kadhal Anukkal" was filmed in Lençóis Maranhenses National Park in northeastern Brazil.

The filming for Chitti's introduction to the international robotics conference was completed in December 2008 at and , where more than 400 students were used as extras.Further footage was shot over five days at the on the Mitsui O.S.K.

Moti Gokulsing and Wimal Dissanayake, in their book Routledge Handbook of Indian Cinemas, noted the similarity between the two works, arguing that Chitti was "manipulated by Bohra to become a Frankenstein-like figure".Writing for The A.V. Club, Genevieve Koski observed, "The plot of 《宝莱坞机器人之恋》 is essentially Frankenstein via [[艾萨克·阿西莫夫|[Isaac] Asimov]]'s Three Laws of Robotics."Kamath compared two of the film's robots to C-3PO and R2-D2, from the Star Wars film series, which was referenced in 《宝莱坞机器人之恋》 when Vaseegaran refers to one of his creations as "R2".the film is influenced by and makes references to many scientific principles relating to the fields of engineering, computer science and robotics, including terabytes and Asimov's laws of robotics.Visual references are made to the s A Briefer History of Time (2005) and Freakonomics (2005).
