Storyline Originally from India, Tamil-speaking Shekar Subramaniam lives a middle-classed life abroad along with his wife, Sonia, and a school-going son, Prateek. While Sonia is busy writing a book on converting all female-related expletives to male, her husband is employed with Barron Industries, where the owner insists his staff come up with a plan to launch the ultimate video game or else he will change his organization to a restaurant and hire them as waiters. Hoping to create a super-hero, Shekhar instead faces criticism from Prateek - who hopes to instead see a kick-ass villain. This conversation does change Shekhar's thinking and he sets about to create an indestructible villain, calls him Ra.one (pronounced as in Lankeshwar Ravan) and its arch-enemy G.One (Jeevan). Prateek will have to regret passing on this idea on to his father - for soon their lives will be shattered when the shape-shifting Ra.One will find a way to enter the real world...

User Review
One of SRK's worst movies
Rating:
Any SRK films comes with huge hype and why not......he has always been
associated with good and popular films. So when Ra One was announced I
like millions of others were eager to see the movie. Before watching it
I had only one apprehension, The director was Anubhav Sinha who had
made films like Cash (Memories of my worst film watching experience).
But then I thought, its a SRK film and he himself is the producer (his
wife Gauri is actually the producer, I should not worry.........
With lot of excitement I pre booked my and my family's tickets. Well
the The Day came and we went to the theater. 2 and half hours later
thanks to Mr. Anubhav Sinha's direction (and script) and Mr Khan over
acting and some crude jokes and some cool effects (the only good parts)
I was reminded of the memories of Cash.........
Just pouring in money and showing special effects doesn't help a film
become good. Love Story 2050 had good effects, but the movie? well lets
not talk about it. The characterization is half baked, the plot,
nothing, the story...... Its a fairy tale in a fairy world, its that
bizarre.
The rating should be around 3 but since I saw many readers (read SRK
blind fans) gave it high rating I have reduced the rating to balance
it. Save money, save time, save energy.....save yourself from watching
RA One..........
