Ra.One Review

 

Ra.One is Bollywood’s latest attempt at capturing the Indian market with Super-heroes and sci-fi, starring SRK, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. It’s a movie which is impossible of being unheard of. SRK made sure of this with his marketing tactics. We saw every shameless plug pulled by him to get associates and sponsor for the video-game and film. From mobile phones, deodorants, youtube channels to Mcdonalds burgers and musical HART. I, personally, felt he should have advertised toilet paper too. It would have generated more revenue as people wiped this steaming pile of turd off while leaving the movie theatres.

 

Ra.One straight away throws you into its world and sets the ball rolling quite quickly. I thought the premise made excellent sense and its something which I felt a lot of people can relate to. Father tries to impress the son by making a game in such a manner that would really impress his child. He succeeds in doing the same. This is where everything goes belly-up. Sekhar Subramniam(SRK) makes a villain so powerful who gets out of the game and starts killing people and is after the Sekhar’s family. Needless to say there was absolutely no bloody event that led to the villain, Ra.One, coming out of the game, into the real world. He just happened to be stronger than his Yin, G.One. Hell, I don’t even think he’d stack up to Dan from Street Fighter, and Dan is still stuck in a video-game. No nuclear reaction, no scientific explanation. He just gets out of the game like how you’d get out of your house.

 

So, anyway, Ra.One chases Sekhar’s Family, for the most idiotic reason, I don’t want to spoil by revealing. This is when Imran Khan from ‘My Name is Khan’ enters the movie….. I mean G.One(also SRK) enters the movie. Im sorry I just got confused because the way he talks is exactly like the character from MNIK. He engages in battle with Ra.One which seems like the poor baby of the most epic scenes from T2: Judgment Day. Then we have the interval followed by 70 mins of absolute bull-sh*t.

 

Ranging from the most crass humour to cheesiest dialogue, the movie delivers a minute by minute hear pulling experience. Every scene is dragged more than it really should, if it should be there at all; pointless fight scenes, Arjun Rampal, moments which made absolutely no sense in the movie, terrible attempts at humour, Arjun Rampal, cheesy dialogues and Arjun Rampal. How does that guy manage to get an acting gig so frequently despite being so agonizingly bad!? I have a bottle of water next to me that has more expressions in an hour than he has had his entire acting career. He barely had anything to do in the movie and still managed to balls it up. 20 mins of screen time, 90% of his screens involve VFX, where he has to only show his face, his audio is mixed with an audio enhancer and auto-tuner, to make it sound menacing. There is a final battle between G.One and Ra.One goes on forever. Then we have the worst ending possible. Its yet another rip-off from the perfect ending of T2, twisted into a very cheesy and corny way that would annoy most audiences.

 

If Ra.One went for the usual entertainer film like SRK’s usual films are, then it would have been fine. But no, it tries to be more than a film and fails on so many levels. The movie does a shadow marketing of the game that would easily attract younger movie-goers to actually purchase the video-game, which is nothing like the excellent VFX of the film. Its entire memorabilia is a desperate attempt at trying to recover money spent on the movie. They all have a single direction and it’s monetary. There is no genuine attempt at trying to create a world for the audience to be immersed in, to have an experience like Middle-Earth or Hogwarts. In the end, its just another movie.

 

I wouldn’t spend real money to go and watch this movie. If manage to get free tickets and have 3 hrs to do nothing, watch it. Otherwise, avoid.

 

My review of the film. I wrote up a better one and the bloody power got cut, just when I was about to finish it. I was quite annoyed and couldnt get the same original flow I had, the first time I wrote it.
