RA. One (2011) - Review

RA-One is not mind-blowing but still its good enough and not as good as Rajnikant's "Robot" who does a special appearance here.Though Kareena Kapoor looks fabulous here after her dismal performance in "Bodyguard".This is her second Diwali hit last year she gave os "Golmaal 3".The child actor who plays Shahrukh's son is not much good could have cast his own son Aryan here.

It starts with cheap double meaning humour.With Shahrukh fighting three Chinese Girls named "Iski Lee" ,"Uski Lee" and "Sabki Lee".Also funny is the special appearance of Sanjay Dutt.At dinner table Shahrukh who is a Tamil here eats noodles with curd.Power Yoga and Satish Shah bit too is funny.This humour does reminds me of Jeetendra's humour in 80's South hindi flicks with Sri Devi and Jaya Prada.The villain bit may remind you of Terminator,some starting action scenes make it look like Spiderman.Shahrukh's antics in Train sequence is also similar to"Robot".

This is director Anubhav Sinha's first release after "Cash" in 2007.And like "Tum Bin" his first directorial venture here too the lead actor Shahrukh dies in the beginning at the hands on RA-one.Vishal Shekhar's music is quite good three songs( Chammak Challo,Bhare Naina & Dildaara)are nice.Though in climax scene music is cliched.Dalip Tahil Shahrukh's co-star from "Baazigar" is here too as the head of his company.Arjun Rampal's role is quite short and he comes in the second half only.Kareena looks great in the negative bit where RA-one changes himself to her form also he mentally manipulates her to speed crash a train.

Shahrukh develops a video game where villain would  never loose.The villain RA-one comes out of the video game to search for his son when he leaves the game in middle.It kills Shahrukh.His female colleague brings G-one out from the video game who tries to save Kareena his wife and son.The train crash scene is done well where the train crashes into Mumbai Central Railway Station and blows it to pieces.Definitely a first of its kind.I saw it in 2D at PVR but advise you people to see it in 3D many scenes do seem to be crafted for 3D experience. I would certainly go and see it in 3D next week.

Its a good movie but not mind-blowing or even like "Robot".Think video-games would be in market soon and kids would make it a hit.Seems to be made for them in mind.
