Ra.One

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.

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!

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.

THE GAG: Ra-One should have been released in the month of April. We could have laughed it off as a 'fools day' gag considering the content, the inflated ticket prices and non-stop TV branding. The average movie goer was fooled left, right and center..!

THE PLOT: Shekhar (Shahrukh Khan) is a video game developer who develops a game that has an unassailable villain so as to impress his villain fanatic son Prateek (Aman Verma).

THE MISSING PLOT: RA-ONE is the villain 'program prototype' in the game which goes on to assume the body of Arjun Rampal from an advertisement poster, in real life. How the villain character transforms into a real life super villain is beyond the average movie goer. RA-ONE , now transformed, is on a Prateek chasing spree, just because Prateek's good at video games. And remember this was not supposed to be a 'leave your brains at home' kind..!

POSITIVE CHARGE: The music needs a mention. It is catchy. The audience love the party dancing. G-ONE (who is the ever predictable counter measure of RA-ONE aka HERO ).

NEGATIVE CHARGE: The outcome of the movie is not convincing. SRK is not SFX material. His acting is his strength which lacked limelight.SFX took precedence in some parts. The script of Ra-One has more pot-holes than that on the streets of Bangalore. Kareena (Sonia) and Arjun(RaOne) lack screen space.

THE WAY AHEAD: There are no B-SCHOOLS in the world that cannot deny Shahrukh an honorary MBA. With the hype he generated for a 6 month period if not more has proved him an expert marketing tycoon. Will the audience be fooled again come DON-2..?? Time will tell. But surely,next time any form of promotional overdose will not work.

SEQUEAL SCENARIO: The movie ends with an invitation for a would be producer of a RA-ONE TWO. But I'am sure as hell that there will not be any sequels for this movie. Remember the 'super hero' audience is 'once bitten twice shy'..!
