ShahRukh Khan and Bollywood Movie - Ra One: Hit or Miss?

New Bollywood movie Ra One is a BOMB!!! No literally, it is a bomb! Ra One is probably the WORST Bollywood movie to hit the cinema screens in the last 10 years! What has Shahrukh Khan gone and done now?

The concept and idea behind it was good, but spoiled by the pathetic story line. It is a massive let down. I have never seen such a bad movie from Shahruk Khan. I have watched all of his Bollywood movies since he started acting, and i have to say, this is his worst ever.

What made him do this? What made him shoot himself in the foot?

Ra One is a pathetic attempt at competing with or trying to catch up with Hollywood. Ok, i give it to Shahrukh Khan for the special effects, but even then, they were over exaggerated! After this hilariously monster of a Bollywood movie in disguise, things will not be the same again in
Bollywood.

This was one movie i was looking froward to in 2011, and i was bitterly disappointed. I could not get my head around what made Shah Rukh Khan commit Bollywood suicide? I mean, i love the guy for his acting and the movies he has made in the past, with acting skills second to none, but this is embarrassing! I was ashamed for him and for Bollywood. He could have done better. Much better.

Teh storyline was copied from Tron and most of the secenes and action reminded me of other Hollywood films, such as Batman, The Matrix, X-Men, Terminator and many others. I have never seen so many films rolled into one! I never thought someone would be crazy enough to roll 7 or 8 films into one, and mess it up totally aswell!

The one thing i have to admit is that the special effects were amazing for Bollywood standards, and that is what Shah Rukh Khan is proud of, but the movie as a whole is a disaster.

Ra One may have done well to retrieve some of the millions spent on it, but it will be remembered as a suicidal attempt to showcase Bollywood's capabilities in using CGI and special effects.

Overall, Ra One is a massive 'MISS' highly emphasised! I feel embarrassed to tell people what i think about it, just because it is a Shah Rukh Khan movie. If it was any other Bollywood actor, people would have just laughed it off and that would have been that. Being a Shah Rukh Khan movie, Ra One will be talked about in years to come for it's over the top action and special effects with a very poor quality of acting from some of the best actors in Bollywood, like Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal.

The only positive out of this monstrosity of a movie is the music and the songs by Akon which were terrific. Akon managed to learn the lines in Hindi and pulled it off successfully.
