Ra-One, the most anticipated movie of the year finally released on Wednesday this Diwali. Releasing on the biggest festival itself is a great advantage for any movie and if the movie is of Shahrukh Khan then you can only imagine the craze among the people. Being so much hyped and promoted already, the movie does not delivers what it needed to deliver and there is a mixed reaction among the audience.
Investing approx 150 crores in movie including 50 crores just in promotions doesn’t mean that you make it only sci-fi instead making it logical and story based. Shahrukh Khan just focused on bringing in new technology to bollywood’s cineworld but he forgot that people go full on entertainment. In an attempt of mixing Hollywood with bollywood he just finishes up to what you can say a mistake. Although it squanders so much money but neglects fundamental requirements like a rigid, persuasive script.
Starring Shahrukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and others the storyline of the movie is based on the videogame and turning the fiction into reality but how is really unknown.
Shekhar Subhramaniyam (Shahrukh Khan) is a game developer in one of the top developing company is married to Sonia (Kareena Kapoor) and they have a son Prateek (Armaan Verma) who is more than crazy about the video games and always indulges himself in playstation or other game consoles. He doesn’t like his father very much as he is not so much sophisticated and is boring too.
Prateek always had a longing that there should be a game where villain of the game must win and should have 10 times more power than the normal villains. To impress his son and to respect his feelings Shekhar start a project on developing such game and giving it a name Ra-One.
On the course of programming the game, and applying much of artificial intelligence the program gets self automated and does something unrealistic. The villain of the game is Ra-one who comes to real world to kill his son Prateek in order to win the game while the superhero G-One the savior, protects him from any mishap.
One can only win if the device called HART fitted in the body of both the fighters is attacked and destroyed; else in any other condition any of the fighters can’t be killed. The combat continues among Ra-One and G-one in the whole movie to rescue Prateek from being killed.
Arjun Rampal playing Ra-One gets its entry after the first half of the movie but impresses with his deadly looks. The movie only focuses on the Sci-Fi technology and doesn’t correlate the sequences. The vulgar comedy scenes are just add-ons but the film lacks in the persuasive script.
RA.One’ does what no other Sci-Fi movie has done before (if we talk about bollywood) but it mocks itself in many occasions. The songs although provides some cushion to the audience especially the ‘Chammak Challo’.
Overall, the movie disappoints you in many ways and even the 3D effect doesn’t overshadow the lack in script. Shahrukh just focused on the promotions rather on building a good story and if we compared with the Robot of Great Rajnikant, it is far behind it. Children may get attracted but still they will find playing video game rather watching the movie. We give it 2.5 star rating.
