Hello all of you put there....
Happy belated Diwali and New year to all of you.
At last during the Diwali season, the long awaited and hyped RA.ONE released. Produced by Shahrukh Khan`s RED CHILLIES ENTERTAINMENT and EROS INTERNATIONAL, it is billed as the most expensive Indian movie ever made, it is directed by Anubhav Sinha
It stars :
Shahrukh Khan as Shekhar Subramanium/G.ONE
Kareena Kapoor as Sonia
Arjun Rampal as RA.ONE
Armaan Verman as Prateek Subramanium a.k.a. Lucifer
It has a host of special appearances by the likes of Sanjay Dutt, Priyanka Chopra, Rajnikant and a voice over by Amitabh Bachchan. The music is given by Vishal-Shekhar with lyrics by Vishal,Kumaar, and Atahar Panchi.
The premise of the movie is that Shahrukh Khan is a game developer whose son thinks that villians are super cool. So he designs a game in which the villian (RA.ONE)is extremely difficult to beat and has a very enhanced artificial intelligence. The son then plays the game and comes very near in defeating the villian, which then comes to life and goes after the son killing the father in the process. That`s when, the superhero G.ONE is summoned to help save the family.
The movie is full of VFX effects, wonderful visuals,crisp editing and visual treats. The only thing missing is a better storyline, but most of them are missing in all superhero movies in Hollywood also.
Most of Hollywood superhero movies are made on basis of comic books (X-men, Spiderman, any thing suffixed with man) or TV Series (Transformers, power rangers). RA.ONE on other hand has nothing to fall back on in terms of a background story. But still it manages to entertain in parts.

People all over the internet and print media are bashing up the movie, but in reality I kinda liked it. Yes, it is silly in some parts, but overall it is entertaining. I read somewhere that it insults the audiences`s intelligence way too much. All movies do, but the same people give 4 stars to movies like Transformers, Transporter etc.
Music of the movie is already a blockbuster with international artist Akon signing 2 songs in the movie.
The first is Chammak Challo with Akon singing in Hindi.
Second is Criminal
And 2 other wonderful songs in Bhare Naina and Dildaara.
The cinematography and sounds both are wonderful and is a treat to watch, special effects are wonderful for Indian movies. Only major flaw is the story and direction. Anubhav Sinha despite trying hard, fails to have any control over the flow of the movie.
Despite everything, the movie is worth a watch.
