Ra.one , the biggest movie of bollywood has finally arrived.termed as the most exensive and the first 3d superhero move bollywood , ra one is eagerly awaited. father tries hard to fit into his son's world. While Shekhar [Shah Rukh Khan] tries every trick in the book to woo his son, his son had given up on him. Just when the father-son duo hit a deadlock, Shekhar strikes gold when he designs one hell of a game. Finally, it all starts falling in place. But the happiness is short-lived. All hell breaks loose when the game that was meant to be played with, starts playing them. ra one has a new story to tell in bollywood. however such films have been made at regular intervals in hollywood.superhero movies are a rage in hollywood.srk tries to get the superhero movie craze to india.ra one has a inconsistent screenplay.the first half has its moments.at times the viewer is bored.the pre-interval fight sequence is surely a treat to watch.post interval airport scene is totally hilarious.but the film drags on from there till it gets some scenes right.the second hour is not too exciting.the climax is good but not the best.a lot is expected from the last fight between the good and the bad but its seems dull at places.dialouges are decent. background score is good.action is a highpoint. chase sequences are thrilling just like they are in the western movies.special effects are superb. its a visually treating movie.cinematography is superb in the first hour but decent in the second hour.music is a rage.'chammak challo' , 'criminal' , 'dildaara' n 'bhare naina' , 'raftaarien' are superb tracks.anubhav sinha executes the subject well but is brought down by a loose screenplay. however, he does a good job.shah rukh khan again proves that his stardom is surely justified. he is good as shekhar although goes over the top in some scenes , but he is excellent as G.one.the kids are going to love his antiques in the second hour. a praiseworthy performance for sure !.kareena gets into the character completely.although her character takes a backseat because of special effects and of course G.one. she is simply superb in the second hour. also she looks ethereal in the 'chammak challo' track. arjun rampal doesnt get much scope as the antagonist.but whenever he is onscreen he surely is a treat to watch.he has worked on his physique and it shows.quite good peformance.the child artiste armaan verma is natural.sanjay dutt and priyanka chopra are going to be loved in their respectable cameos.satish shah is fine.dalip tahil is good.shahana goswami lends good support to the cast.suresh menon is totally hilarious in his one scene.tom wuu impresses.rajnikant's special apperance is not justified but its surely a treat to watch two superstars in one frame.on the whole , RA.ONE is a visually compelling film but is letdown by a sloppy and loose screenplay.it does not lives up to the expectations but surely makes a one time watch for its brilliant special effects and worthy performances.

I don't get why the hell there was alot of bashing to this movie i mean honestly this is India's first 3D superhero movie in Bollywood History. SRK after Om Shanti Om mindblowing as Shekhar and the G.One character. Kareena Kapoor hasn't lost her skilled either absolutely phenomenal. Arjun Rampal as Ra.One one of the legendary iconic villan roles I have seen in the history of bollywood films. Everyone else was great as well.

Director Anubhav Sinha has little to flaunt from his directorial career but as he partnered with ShahRukh Khan for a sci-fi movie, it suddenly set the new standard for presentation of special effects and action. Here it is, smashing records and mesmerizing those who went with little expectations. Ra. One may draw inspirations from 'Robot', 'IronMan', 'Tron' and 'X-Men' but it manages to overwhelm with the phenomenal execution of special effects, action and stunts. For a change, the sequences are credible for a super-hero film. London based Barron Industries is on the brink of blurring the line between the virtual world and the real world. Wireless streams of digital data that surround us have the potential to be carriers of artificial intelligence that can be seen and felt. Shekhar (ShahRukh Khan), a video game programmer with Barron has a last shot at creating an engaging game to enthrall avid gamers including his son, Prateek (Armaan Verma). This time, his focus is to create the most powerful villain because as per his son, villains are super cool. The most interesting aspect of the storyline is the fusion of virtual gaming with the possibility of Barron's new technology that leads to the game's villain, Ra.One taking a devastatingly real form. At the launch party, Prateek played through the penultimate level against Ra.One as his virtual avataar, Lucifer, only to abandon the game. That made Ra.One very mad and he worked his way out to reality to end the game. Destroying whatever came in his way, Ra.One did not even spare Shekhar, who tried to protect his son's identity. Shocked and in despair, Shekhar's wife, Sonia (Kareena Kapoor) decides to move to their abandoned home in India but before that, Ra.One has his plans to kill Lucifer. On the busy streets of London, we witness the most exhilarating and impressive chase sequence Indian cinema has ever produced. Ra.One, jumps over traffic, rides a motorbike like a maniac and is about to throw a car at them in a junkyard when his gaming rival, G.One arrives to save the day. The build up to Ra.One's escape into reality takes some time and we also have to deal with a goofy, inane, curly haired ShahRukh Khan which isn't exactly 'entertaining'. But soon, the movie really kicks off once Ra.One emerges out of his virtual state. Indeed, this villain is super cool. Right from his menacing costume to his ability to transform, re-form and perform, Ra.One is the first of his kind of super-villains Indian cinema has seen. G.One on the other hand is a plastic faced SRK with a strange hair-do and a cool blue costume. He would've been better off with a mask or hood though. Being a gaming super-hero, G.One cannot associate with emotions but is able to acknowledge relationships and that is what differentiates him. This very trait brings us another exemplary work of special effects, the local train sequence before the climax where G.One decides to save Sonia's life. SRK jumps over the side of the train, over the platforms, on top of the train and through the train in a thrilling sequence that somehow, manages to look very credible. Just like the film's concept, the CGI is so sophisticated that one cannot distinguish between the real and virtual. The final confrontation between the players of the game is an awe-inspiring special effects bonanza that looks more like a video game with real people in it. Kareena Kapoor doesn't annoy the way Priyanka did in 'Krrish' and she does look beautiful in almost every scene. Armaan Verma has no reason to sport such long manes but he just doesn't have the charm of Dakota Goyo from 'Real Steel' who shared a similar role. Arjun Rampal's physique does justice to his casting as Ra.One and he is experienced in playing a negative role as well. King Khan took a big gamble with Ra.One yet, the multi-crore gamble paid off for the team and Ra.One turned out to be quite an impressive product aimed at family audiences. SRK worked hard for his role and it shows on screen where he performs almost all of the stunts by himself. SRK and Sinha set out to make Indian cinema's most dazzling spectacle and they managed to achieve that. The cinematography makes London and Bombay look spectacular where the biggest action unfolds and the visual effects are stunning with crafty CGI being intricately used to blend the virtual gaming environment with reality. The background score along with the film's music adds to the techie feel. Vishal Shekhar's score has select tracks that are not only unique in their fusion but they also suit the film's modern style. Bhare Naina is despondent and vibrant at the same time and is beautifully rendered by Nandini & Vishal-Shekhar. SRK's well suited singer, Shafaqat Amanat Ali adds some peppiness to Dildaara while Akon & Vishal rock the party with Criminal. Vishal & Shekhar also produce Raftaarein in the background of the train sequence which also serves as an outstanding retro theme for G.One. Finally, the film's highlight in music is Akon's brilliant rendition of Chammak Challo which is commendable simply because it's Akon singing the whole song in Hindi! As the exemplary achievements in the audio and visual departments of Ra.One narrow the gap between Bollywood and Hollywood to just 2 years, Anubhav Sinha doesn't follow it up with the story. On numerous instances, Sinha tends to explain and imply too much, perhaps to cater to masses and children but it does take away the slickness. There is random slapstick humor as well that once again erodes the sophistication gained by the technical aspects. However, Sinha keeps the pace going and never lets the momentum fall into the abyss. He does well to back up the theory of Real gaming in execution but has little finesse in the rest of the plot. A vast majority of Hollywood's super-hero flicks have had worse story- lines and therefore, Ra.One is praiseworthy. Yes, he has some tendency to be more human-like, Yes, he lives with a family, Yes, he dances to Akon's singing and Yes, he looks like a blue-eyed ShahRukh Khan but this is Indian Cinema in it's very typical form. What comes as a surprise is the plot, (though a bit far-fetched) and the technical attributes that make it a spectacle of sorts. Ra.One is a fulfilling entertainer for the whole family that is torn between being brainy and hearty at the same time. 8.1 on a scale of 1-10.

Ra. One was a very entertaining film. Shahrukh Khan looks convincing in his superhero avatar, Kareena Kapoor looks drop dead gorgeous, and Armaan is excellent. Arjun Rampal looks great but has less to do. The movie is faced paced, it's not slow, boring so it kept my eyes glued on the screen. The action is average, very unrealistic even for a video game. In totality, the movie works for me! The background music and costumes were good. I enjoyed it! :)

CAUTION: The movie is heavily inspired from the Hollywood movie TERMINATOR. You will like the movie only and only if you have liking for sci-fi movies. RA-ONE ie. random access version one. This is the name of the video game that Sharukh is developing for the company he works in, in which the villain should be more powerful than the hero, only because srk's son wants it that way. Though, SRK is initially reluctant as he feels that would give a message to children that "evil wins in the end" but eventually agrees. The game in itself is very high-fi which copies human action and then transfers those movements to characters on screen. SRK's son tries the game after completion and is unable to quit in between because the villain ie Ra one tells the hero that you can't quit without defeating him. All hell break loose when the game itself starts behaving like a human.(as the game catches human frequencies!!!) Ra one promises that he will come out of the game and kill the hero(son). From there onwards it's all the fight between good and evil. Whether ra one will get defeated in the end is the movie all about. Kareena looks unfit for the role. She acts in a flimsy manner. Shahrukh as always lend great appeal to whatever he does. He looks good as father. Though the movie is not as bad as it has been made out to be, but the story part is definitely somewhat weak and that prevents the movie from becoming being great. Shahrukh should be absolutely praised for the brave attempt by making this movie and especially the special effects which are absolutely at par with the finest in Hollywood and are truly lovely. Not to forget, the child actor has also performed so finely in the movie. Overall, what prevents the movie from becoming great is poor script and poor handling of emotional sequences by the director. They don't move you as they should have been. This movie is only for people who understand and like sci-fi cinema. Uncle and Aunties used to the saas bahu stuff will find the movie as rocket science and then sadly say "yeh to bachhon ke liye hain ji". For everone else Just go and watch it once at least for the brave attempt by SRK and Anubhav Sinha to do something different, although extremely inspired from Hollywood.

Before my review, let me tell you I feel sad and sorry for people who have little knowledge of film industry but are the first ones to review a film on their own terms.. I have read people bashing Ra.One from day 1 and criticising SRK (well thats not new).. but they forget most important thing : SRK had the courage to make such a huge film, with sp.effects never seen before in Bollywood. This film is a landmark for Bollywood, a never made film and who knows how many people can attempt it.. this film has made INDIA proud ! Obviously SRK has proven in many ways with this film why he is the king.. hats off SRK.. I wish all Indians could forget all their hater and just go and enjoy this masterpiece cinema in India.... Go guys dont miss this opportunity !!
