6/10
The Game-Changer !!!
15 December 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Investing your money and time in a sci-fi project itself requires a size-able amount of courage and kudos to Shah Rukh Khan to have trusted the script of Ra.One. We see viewers complaining about lack of international films in India n at the same time have no qualms criticizing the person who gave it a push. No hard feeling against the critics but Ra.One stands as the victory of Indian Cinema if you look at the visual effects in the film. The movie begins with game designer Shekhar (SRK) all set to match his son Prateik's expectations of being an ideal father. Sonia ( Kareena Kapoor ) is a passionate Mom but gets stuck between the father's efforts and son's demands. The film takes a turn when Shekhar strikes gold when he creates the virtual catastrophic demon Ra.One in his much anticipated game RA.ONE. The hell breaks loose when this catastrophic villain RA.ONE leaves the virtual world to enter the real world. Shekhar is found dead in his wrecked car thus his death is assumed to be a disastrous car accident. No one has slightest idea about Ra.One behind this calamity. Ra.One sets of to kill his son Prateik aka Lucifer. Now its upto the virtual superhero G.one ( Shah Rukh Khan) to save Prateik. Chammak Challo is Akon at its best. Bhare Naina makes you feel the soul and the emotion behind it. Raftarein gives you an urge to get up an shake a leg. The visual effects are eye poppers. You will find your heart beating really fast during the train sequence where G.one tries to stop an out- of-control train. The screenplay appears flawed at points but it can be well overlooked in front of the innovative concept and technology used in the film. Shah Rukh Khan with his magnum opus RA.ONE has proved himself to be the game changer of Bollywood.
