Ra.One
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a solid entertainer, no two opinions on that. It's not merely a great looking film, but also has soul, which is so essential to strike a chord with the avid moviegoer.
-
...is sure to usher in a crackling Diwali at the box office and give the audience paisa vasool entertainment, with fine performances by both Shah Rukh and Kareena.
-
This is film-making not so much as noble passion but as grand indulgence, not so much as a marathon magic show but as an event to be managed. No effort is spared.
-
The film has raised the bar further for superhero flicks.
-
It is probably one of the classiest movies seen in the Hindi film industry and a feather in Anubhav's hat.
-
...proves to be that turning point in the super-hero genre that Hindi cinema had been waiting for ever since Amitabh Bachchan donned the cape and leather trousers to play Toofan for Manmohan Desai.
-
...has some really "Whoa! Cool" action sequences. Yeah, yeah even if you are exposed to "Hollywood" action. Now if only, the story had a nail-biting edge to it...
-
It delivers more than your money's worth in terms of pure entertainment. It is impressively shot, technically good enough to pass muster and the hi-jinks drama has the pace to keep tedium at bay.
-
...a half-baked attempt that entertains sporadically.
-
For teenagers, this should definitely be a delight.
-
...had the storytelling been stronger Ra.One could’ve been a classic. Sadly it's not but it is an enjoyable sci-fi and CGI fiesta that will transport you to a world of kooky fantasy and video game heroes.
-
...a visual extravaganza and fun enough
-
What's missing from 'Ra.One' is a sure-footed director's touch. Anubhav Sinha fails to bring all the elements together, and while this superhero film has plenty sound and fury, it's sorely lacking slickness.
-
...manages to stumble and falter, in spite of all the crutches that it has been provided with.
-
...this isn't a film that embraces tomorrow as much as it celebrates yesterday, and its most remarkable achievement may be that, with one foot tentatively toeing the future and one stuck resolutely in the past, it didn't end up peeing all over itself.
-
The works of Ra.One lie in its visuals. If you are looking for a story this isn't the film for you.
-
It is a muesli-like muddle of every popular superhero movie you've seen. Contextualising (to Bollywood) rather than being original is what the makers are attempting here.
-
A year of relentless hustling, hype and expectations inevitably numb achievements, whatever they are, into the obvious. You wish to figure if this was worth this much fuss. Look at the film. The fuss was necessary!
-
It is a superstarry slurry sludge, with just the occasional consolatory sparkle.
-
...there's ultimately no escaping the poorly drawn characters, Khan's weird mannerisms and the surfeit of references to the male nether regions.
-
It's heads-in-hands stuff. All ten of them.
-
The film seems to think that nothing seems to matter as long as there's enough Khan, and it becomes tragically evident that this is a project born more out of vanity than passion.
-
Not only does it fail to impress beyond the usual low expectation, 'timepass' levels, it was pipped to the post by Endhiran/Robot.
-
This film traps its audience in a dark and claustrophobic world
