Well there has been so much the
world is talking about RA.One – good bad n even ugly! Good for being the
costliest movie of bollywood, 3D and SFX, SRK in a super hero avatar and of
course chammak challo! Bad for having no content or not being worthy of what it
promises to be! And ugly because of its innumerable flaws despite being
expensively marketed!
For me, the movie worked in parts
and was bizarre in the rest. So I point them out separately here.
Bugs:
1. SRK’s Tamil, all I can say is ayyo!
2. A gaming company in UK that has a set of weird employees who know nothing beyond 2 characters. RA One and G one. Look out for the scene when these characters get their names! How amateur!?
3. The world sleeps while RA One comes out of the game and breaks parts of London and Mumbai just for the sake of killing a boy! Oh boy!!
4. Is G One a Robot or an alien or a human or an actual toy!? Keep guessing, coz the writers just didn’t know either.
5. SRK’s punjaban wife pronounces ‘konjam’ as ‘condom’! Such is the state of sense of humor the writers chose to go with.
6. People did talk about its excellent effects. But all in vain n looks like a cheap Hollywood stuff (especially that red-eyed kareena and the complete climax visuals).
7. Background score sucked repeating the same tune whenever RA One appeared on screen.
8. SRK’s one liners have been written to irritate rather than inspire.
9. And, an unbelievably stupid climax.

Well, to be fair I try to list
out these hits:
1. The 3D version was done up quite competitively.
2. All songs sounded and looked good at well timed intervals.
3. SRK delivers as Shekhar Subramanyam in those scenes when he’s not trying to be Mr. Bean!
4. Kareena is a treat to watch be it her ‘booty goes pop pop’ or ‘chammak challo’ or those emotional scenes. She’s a savior. And so is that boy who portrays her son’s character. Just nice.
5. RA One taking form and chasing on the streets of London are applaudable. (Only limited to 1st half)
6. The chemistry and that insecurity in a father-son relation come out pretty well.
7. Pacing and keeping up some sort of suspense despite its predictable plot.
8. Just for being so ambitious.

What could’ve been a revolutionary
Indian film falls way too short, thanks to the director who carries such a
history. Getting Rajnikant to do an unwanted scene and Big B to render 2 lines
might get some audiences, but what about quality? Who approved the flawed screenplay
and those awfully silly dialogues? If only RA.One was half as mature as being
ambitious, this could’ve been path breaking.
Aryan Khan might not be very
happy ‘appa’, but all the best for your RA.Two! There’s always a chance of a better newer version! And with lesser bugs…!
