Today, I read Review about Ra One Movie on Mouthshut.com – The Consumer Review Website
If I had to describe Ra One in one sentence, I’d say you have to see it to believe it. Ra One is the perfect Diwali bonanza for the family. This, I’m saying not with any prejudice because I like Shah Rukh Khan, but rather on the merits of the film. In fact, the film is not about Shah Rukh, but just pure and simple – action! You may think that you have seen action films before, but you ain’t seen nothing yet. Ra One is not about the big grand finale, or the one-two huge action sequences, rather it is a succession of things blowing up one after the other that just demand your attention. First and foremost, the big question does it justify the massive 160 crores budget? Yes, indeed it does. Ra One redefines the action/superhero genre like no other. It is just an out and out action film to give you the adrenalin rush. I pray that Ra One succeeds at the box office because frankly, we need the bar set this high so that the Hindi film industry can scale even bigger heights in the future. One very significant plea to the viewers – please, if possible, do not hesitate to shell out a few extra bucks and see the film in 3D. It will have a considerable impact on your overall viewing experience.
Plot:
The plot of Ra One is a combination of spoofs and homages to the action/superhero genre. Particular films that come to mind are – The Matrix, Terminator 2, Dead or Alive and Iron Man. You can recognize the similarity in the plot devices, but let me assure you, no sequences are rip offs in any way and the originality of the film is preserved. Also, it in no way resembles Robot. In the beginning itself, the stage is set.
We join the story at Barron Industries, where Shahana Goswami tells the audience about the lessening gap between the real and the virtual world and the ability of artificial intelligence to transmit itself from the virtual to the real world through the medium of waves (mobile phones, micro waves, sound signals etc). This plot device is important later on. Shekhar Subramaniam (Shah Rukh Khan) works as a game developer for Barron Industries along with his team -Shahana Goswami and Tom Wu. He is a sloppy Inspector Clouseau kind of fellow who believes in the virtues of goodness that will triumph all evil. He is married to Sonia (Kareena Kapoor) and has a son Prateik. However, his son is suffering from the typical rebellious stage and doesn’t look up to his father as someone he wants to emulate. Prateik is a serial gamer and computer expert (another important plot device used later in the film). Prateik like super villains and cannot understand why the hero must always win as it is ‘boring’ and repetitive.
RATING: 4/5
