रा.वन

VFX game was strong and it was ahead of Aadipurush.

Best Superhero movie of All time and Thanks to Srk for bringing this Technology to India.

No movie can beat this one in terms of VFX when it comes to Ra. One.

All Time watchable.

This movie deserves more love and support and Srk and Arjun Rampal have nailed their Characters.

Loved it and watched it in theatres my Rating 10/10.

Superhero movies in India will come and go but no one has ever made a this type of Bad-ass Superhero movie like Ra. One in Bollywood.

Ra. One in Terms of VFX in 2011 Will always be tha best Sci-fi movie all time.

Awful, awful, awful! I really don't know where to start??? Let's start with the ridiculous title of the film - Ra.one - Random Access One??? In the film Ra.one is a evil character from a computer game. One of the development team whilst brainstorming says that the name of the 'baddie' is obvious and it's 'staring them in the face'. Written on the White board as a title is Ra.one - Random Access One. Hence the name Ra.One. No, it's way over my head. I have no idea why it's so clear to name the character Random Access one. With great baddies like the Joker, Dr Octopus, Lex Luther, Dr Doom and now we can add Random Access One to the list.....not! The film has no coherent plot to speak of. I think they had a basic premise to work with and just made it up as they went along. Unnecessary crude jokes that are not funny and a very nasty, racist joke about Chinese people. Shah Rukh Khan must be extremely delusional to believe in this plot less, clueless, racist garbage is worthy of his name and time. How can an actor of his stature accept this job. Does he not read the script before hand? Oh yeah there wasn't a script. Utter tripe!

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.

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.

RaOne is a successful con job. Commercial success will eclipse the fact that the quality of experience is poor and not quite commensurate with the scale of commercial success. My rating on the movie is 2 out of 5.

SRK has a lot on his shoulders. He has to play the role of a clumsy dad with a south-Indian accent, who can also dance like Micheal Jackson for his son, and then sing an item number in perfect Hindi, and then going onto becoming a charming Android. He needs to be ruthless with evil, and the ultimate romantic with the leading Lady. His sense of humor needs to have the a mix of slapstick and crudeness since that seems to really get the crowd going. But he seems to have got them all by their main parts, as the movie keeps focusing on someone either getting kicked there, or catching a fire there, or getting beeped at the security check. Even the little kid soon catches on the trick and tell his mom to use it the villains main part to her advantage.

This movie also tell us that Indian boys as young as 11 can code programs that jump out of the screen to somehow tap into all the electromagnetic radiations around us to turn them into physical matter and then bring it all to life – this really is stretching the concept of matter being electromagnetic waves and particle at subatomic levels. And so, it is apparent to me now that reason why humanity still hasn't cracked AI (artificial intelligence) yet is that we don't have enough 11 year old kids in the Labs. Seems easy to fix, if only we can get all the 11 yo brats to finish their milk all by themselves. It must be pretty heartbreaking for all the Indian moms, most of who are SRK fans, for this new task for their kids – finish homework, come first in class, and program G1 to life.

The movie taps into the ultimate fail-safe formula of using (and perpetuating) the Indian stereotype. Instead of using a Sardar, they use a Madrasi. A South-Indian eating noodles with his hands, and adding curd to it is quite the epitome of thinking that this movie achieves, and gets a few laughs from the crowd too. Disclosure – The thought of it cracked me up a too, but more for the nerve of the director to go ahead with this crude gross joke.

The movie assumes that Indians need to be spoon fed explanations. Everything is over explained, again and again, repeatedly, as if we really wont understand it the first time, till even the people who don't talk in Hindi get it, till all our cows come home. I wrote this paragraph for effects, just to make my point, so that all of you get it too, and by the way it was written in the same style as Bellwood tries to explain the events, by over explaining things. If you still don't get it you can write to me with a subject line as 'Duh'.

It is clear that the film makers are quite proud of their special effects, they keep repeating them so often. With the bombastic claim that the movie has more special effects than Avataar, I guess it became the sworn duty of the movie maker to Honor the vision of the special effects programming coder, who he probably paid by the hour and thus to use as much of that footage in the film, creative integrity be dammed.

This action sequence, in the typical Bellwood tradition, are partly comic and partly 'saving the world' sort of serious. The conclusion of these sequences is apparent to all and the only thing uncertain is the health of your ears when you walk out after listening to the amped up background score on these sequences. Edge of the seat experience may not be there, but it is more than made up by special effects like the appearance of lord ganesha to help the hero stopping a train from wrecking Mumbai.

Then there is the whole marketing circus that happens in before the movie release. Clearly SRK has used his considerable charms to manipulate the whole world, including the professional critics. Mr Taran Adarsh had his moment in the sun too when he became the trending topic on twitter for his rating of 4.5 out of 5 a day before the movie release (through a special preview), most of it negative. Nikat Kazmi gives it 4.5 too. But most other non-professional reviews seem to be giving it no more than 2. My own rating is 2. This wide width in ratings cant be explained in any other way.

But it is Diwali , people want a good time, or as they say timepass. As i walked out, I overhead a disgruntled fan crib, "ye kia sci fi type picture banaya hai…" I guess we get what we deserve.
