Ra One (Arjun Rampal), G One (Shahrukh Khan) plays a computer game designer, called Shekhar Subramanium. Shahrukh Khan wife Sonia (Kareena Kapoor) and son Prateek (Armaan Verma). Shahrukh Khan (Shekhar Subramanium) who gets his Tamil accent off-centre. The supporting cast would be the action team and the sound engineers led by Resul Pookutty. Jeff Kleiser, heading the graphic effects team has packed in as much digital technology as can be to make this a graphic treat of sorts for sci-fi freaks. Prateek is a computer whiz, who is heavily into games and thinks his father is a coward in real life. He taunts him to make a brave game in which the villain never looses, however things go wrong when the game’s villain (Arjun Rampal as Ra.One) comes out of the game and into the real world to punish losing to Prateek in the computer-generated game they played. The hero of the game is G.One and is made in the image of Shah Rukh. G.One is bought into the real world from the computer-generated in order to help save Prateek and the world from Ra.One.
The movie might have been made with the international standards, but its soul is pure desi. Director Anubhav Sinha has chosen an interesting storyline and also managed to include several twists. The relationship between an Indian father and son and father's attempt to satisfy his son have been beautifully brought out on screen.
The visual effects of Ra.One are another highlight of the film and the stunning chase, action scenes and the train sequence in the second half are sure to mesmerise the audience. V Manikandan and Nicola Pecorini's camerawork, Andy Gill and Spiro Razatos' stunts, Kanika Dhillon and Niranjan Iyengar's dialogue and Robert Kurtzman's designed superhero costumes are excellent and surely add to the successful run of superhero journey.
It can be said Shahrukh Khan serves a wonderful feast this Diwali to Indian audience by spending a Rs. 175 crores. The movie has borrowed several aspects from Hollywood movies. Movies like Krrish and Robot had introduced superhero trend to Hindi film industry. Now, Ra.Onepushes the envelope further.
It should be watched by everyone.
