Ra.One

It is with absolute disgust, a sense of shame and eagerness that I write this review. A movie that lacks character, script, story-line and finesse is expected to impress the audience with just one element - A over hyped budget invested into visual effects. Oh by the way, did I also mention it has also copied various themes from Sucker Punch, Iron Man, Terminator and Spider-man? The movie is such a awful mess, it is not worth even a watch even if you life depended on it! I mean where in the world do you get the director making fun of a character you are expected to take seriously. And where the main theme was to keep it dedicated to a family audience, you have so many embarrassing moments which try their best to fall into the category of humor but seriously fall short into making people uneasy in their seats. All in all, superstar SRK post promotional attempts have been to keep a smiling face, employ the services of marketing companies and pay movie critics to praise and compensate for undoubtedly what qualifies as the most shameful and sad attempt by the Indian Cinematic Movement to try to qualify itself as a formidable force in entertainment. I would say, better than watching this movie, is go home and wash the dishes.

Bad mix of emotions, drama, action and bad timings of gaming. I had never regretted to watch an Indian movie in Theaters. I hardly could stand this one. Bad timing of songs. Why would G.One having no emotions appear to suddenly have emotions and then a song starts. WOW... Hightime for Bollywoods movies to be logical... The dialogues are awful... There is not one thing except somewhat effects that is praise worthy. And if you are fond of Hollywood movies, you would not be proud of the million dollars gaming effects ... Why would the RA.One team spend tons of money on Marketing this movie and raising the expectations just to see it shattering... Extremely Disappointed with the movie...!!! Gave it 2 star just for some songs and SOMEWHAT EFFECTS...

I am a big fan of SRK and really got excited about this movie. I even made up my mind that I will not watch any trailers of read anything about it so that I can really be amazed and enjoy it an only watch it in 3D.

I do not want to waste any time so I will get right to it. It was crap! the weak story, characters (no character development what so ever).

What was SRK thinking getting Anubhav Sinha, he is crap. Has SRK or Gauri not seen any of his films. He made action films that were so crap.

Who are these people and what have they written before.

If you were going to make a epic like this was meant to be and spent that much money. Why not get people that have done this before and the have a really good track record.

The movie is not 3D, that is a lie. I have watched/experienced 3D movies before and this one comes nowhere near any of them.

Total let down - WASTE of time, money and two and half hours of my life. Total let down - WASTE of time, money and two and half hours of my life. Total let down - WASTE of time, money and two and half hours of my life.

What a awful waste of money. 2+ hours wasted in worst way possible. No quality, no story, loose script, over acting, completely senseless and cheap humor. It would have been better even if the lead role was of Arjun Ram Pal. Save your money or you will regret. I was said by a friend to leave sense at home before going for the movie. But I think even leaving sense behind is not enough. Effect are used in unnecessary places while lots of places where special effects could have strengthened the plot were missing. A childish movie that even sensible kids will not like. I wish if the same money, and man power was invested in movie with lead role by any of these actors:- Aamir Khan, Hritik Roshan, Irfan Khan would have been a great milestone in such movies in Indian cinema or even Ajaya Devgan, Salman Khan, Imran Khan, Akshaya Kumar etc were used then it would have been decent and entertaining.

Well well, this movie has grossed very well in box office, Ticket prices were almost doubled at many centers on the first week of its release, will it not earn loads, yes it will, with Star crazy fans surely it will recover.

Lets start with the review: This movie would be the most crappiest ever and no one could beat it, that's a sort of a record.

Story: I would definitely suggest Abhinav Sinha to join this course, if we have one. Where does this bastard Shekar live, in London and he is a Software engineer/game creator, he doesn't know how to pronounce the word "Keys" and he pronounces as though its "Kiss" and the introductory scene is enough to tell you the status of the entire movie. This sort of torture keep on coming in the movie in the form of "boob press", Kareena mouthing some "Shit","Condom Condom" & got a boob press as well. The best or the worst is "iski lee, uski lee, sabki lee" well well this movie has done that all the people who watched this crap and paid for the tickets.

The movie would have been good if all the above silliness had been excluded. Story is about a laid back, good natured father(Shekar - SRK) trying to impress his game geek son(Prateek aka Lucifer - Aarmaan). For that purpose, he creates an interactive game in which Villa n is unbeatable - Ra.One. But Ra.one with its artificial intelligence and available advanced technology is able to come out of the game, to kill Lucifer, who almost defeated him in the game. To counter Ra.One, G.one is taken out of the game to the real world. Then the movie is all about good winning over evil with lots of boom boom.

Rating: Concept was good, but implementation was similar to Indian Daily Soaps, movie felt too long because of all the silliness which i have mentioned above. 2/10 Acting: Aarmaan (Prateek) and to some extent Arjun Rampal were good. SRK, please watch your earlier movies and learn from yourself, what you did in this movie is not acting!! Kareena, you are just an Eye-Candy, do you think you had anything in this movie to prove, other than mouthing some *******, but money matters. Others were just hanging around. (Thank God, Jackie Chan didn't agree to be a part of this movie) Rating: 0/10 (1 is awful and 0 is disgusting) Video effects: Only this portion of the movie made some sense and only this portion kept people glued to their seats, otherwise people would have left the theaters during interval.

Rating: 8/10 My sympathies are with the Editor of the movie, who would have watched lengths and lengths of crap and has reduced the movie to such an extent. I am definitely sure, he would have wanted to cut a lot more and save us the torture, but he was unsuccessful with the big boss - SRK breathing down his neck.

So my overall rating for this movie is 3/10. My recommendation, if you like to torture someone, take them to this movie. In case you want to dump your boy friend or girl friend take them to this movie, during interval shout out "I hate you a lot" and walk out. The pain of watching this movie would definitely make them forget the pain of break-up.
