honestly i dont know what i was thinking off when i went to see this movie...
Ra.one! Since we had nothing better to do and incidentally or otherwise ( it was all over the place that SRK cleared competition and made sure not many releases were there in that week), not many movies worth seeing in theaters Ra.one was the choice.
The beginning of the movie made me cringe! south Indian geek of a scientist eating noodles with his hands with curd saying "Aiiyo" and his Punjabi wife doing research on abuses in Hindi! ( some which I wanted to use after seeing the movie). Quite a lethal combination not to forget that the south Indian scientist on being killed was buried and then miraculously his ashes were being scattered by his wife and kid.
The more I think about it the more I have my blood boiling. Of course fans of SRK were all gaga but when i saw the movie over the weekend the theater was empty.
Each trade pundit has something different to say about the figures, collections that the movie has made. Of course people say it is a success but then WHAT IS SUCCESS for a bollywood movie?
Chitty was anytime more acceptable than G.one or Ra.one...
I cringe to think SRK is going to be working on a sequel to Ra.one !
SRK should go off on a relaxing vacation which he has really earned, the way he promoted the movie for the last 3 months, if only he had invested half that energy rewriting the awful script, the movie could have been salvaged somewhat. It was a mishmash of at least three movies my favorite being karate kids..
The ultimate conclusion is that special effects are no substitutes for a story. Ra.One is an example of how to blow up several millions on so triffle.
