RA.ONE Review


            We must accept the fact that Shahrukh khan was brave enough to make a movie like RA.one! The first sci-fiction superhero movie in India with an emotional touch! It beautifully showcased how much parents love their children.A father doing everything and even losing his life for his son.The traditional belief of 'Goodness triumphs over Badness' was projected in a very unique and different way, so as to appeal to the young generation with a modern attitude,and make them familiar with our morals and values.

     The special effects were just too good and marks the beginning of India's creative skills in fictional movies. Shahrukh khan was as usual a pleasure to watch and portrayed both the characters well.As a soft-hearted superhero he looks cool. Kareena is looking good in the movie and her thesis on cuss words on males is an interesting concept.The child artist's performance was natural and at some places brilliant. Arjun Rampal's work as the wicked RA.One is commendable.The best thing I feel was the format of the game and its programming.It was brilliant how the game was imagined and the stages made.
         I could see the children enjoying every action scene and rejoicing .Elders,too, were at the edge of their seats for most part of the movie.The songs chammak challo and criminal are catchy and the soft number Oh dilbara is pleasant too.
            The movie was shahrukh khan's dream project and the efforts he has put into making the movie come across through the very fine detailing in the movie. Shahrukh khan has always succeeded in making a mark for bollywood movies in the West. Ra.one is India's answer to foreign special effect and superhero movies!

Let's find our soul

         'The biggest hit of the year','the blockbuster which broke all the trade records','the largest box office collection till date'; these are some very common statements we get to hear these days when a new movie releases.But I wonder are they really worth the money they earn as profits? I don't think so.
  
       Movies these days lack soul.They are just one-time-watch movies,unlike movies like Deewar and DDLJ which we feel good about even after watching them for the hundredth time! The script and the story seem to be written just for the sake of it, as if it has been written just because they wanted to write something! Even the songs are not as impressive nowadays.At times the performances are mediocre. 

               In the recent past, only a few films like 3 idiots and My name is Khan have been worth watching.Wanted was also an entertaining movie.And only a few actors of gen-next like Shahid kapoor and Ranbir kapoor  and Priyanka Chopra have done some good acting.We lack stories that are soul-stirring and can help us think n feel good.  "The script demanded this particular scene" seems to be the favourite line of directors these days,leaving most of the audience not so comfortable.Just trying to ape western culture in the name of modernization is slowly taking away the essence of  style of movies.
 
              We are really looking forward to some good and Meaningful movies with strong performances that can entertain as well as touch our hearts.
