    Hope the international audience wont judge Indian Cinema by this high-budget mediocrity.

    Ra.One is not really a superhero film. The story and its hero have very few superhero elements in it. Its sci-fi, and a pretty dumb one at that. The plot has coherence issues and is sometimes illogical. The portrayal of Tamils is the film is extremely stereotypical, and is obviou... read moresly used as a comic relief. The sound design and sometimes the editing were surprisingly average fare. And we have a villain who thinks he is badass, but he's basically hell bent on killing a kid because of ego issues. Yeah. Now that I listed out the negative stuff, let me come to the positive ones. The CGI is the best yet we've seen in Bollywood, though its comparable to Enthiran. The cast did a decent work. The songs were well placed. Cinematography and action were well done. The art design was just ok though. The cameos were a good addition to the entertainment. No points for guessing who got the loudest of cheers :) Srk had put his heart out marketing this one and its working. And the houseful crowd seem to enjoy the film. If you wanted to watch a mindless festival flick, this could just be it.

    I loved the music in the film, the graphics were awesome, and Kareena is just beautiful in this film.

    The science/technology part of it was actually pretty believable and realistic, didn't seem too far fetched. I loved the comedy and the story line. The whole thing was really good.

    Alright, I admit that I am a SRK fan and I like superhero themes that have a sci-fi bent to them. But even so, this has to be one of the best (if not the best) superhero flick ever to come out of Bollywood. And this is coming from someone who hates Bollywood movies.

    I'm only kno... read morecking it down the half star because of the excessive booty shaking in one of the dance numbers. It crossed the line and was just gross.

    I liked seeing Kareena Kapoor as a mom - she was adorable. And the kid (who I had thought was a girl) did pretty good as teenage gamer son. SRK looks amazing, though his Tamil was pretty questionable. The play on Ra. One and G. One was what won me at the beginning, but the crisp special effects left the greatest mark on me. It was neatly paced and executed with more finesse than the "incomparable" Endiran or Robot.

The film is as cheesy as it sounds. Full Review

The movie has a witty sense of punky, gaming-style esthetics that American blockbusters try for but can't quite achieve. Full Review

It never feels cynically niche-marketed or fundamentally bored with itself, the way so many big-budget American movies do. Full Review

Anubhav Sinha's exhilarating fantasy "Ra.One" is Bollywood at its best. Full Review

The most expensive Bollywood movie ever made, "Ra.One," a sci-fi superhero thriller, is a kind of entertainment machine set to dazzle, Hindi cinema with a crush on high-tech. Full Review

RA.ONE nicely serves two masters -- good family values and good capitalist instincts. Full Review

So incredibly, enjoyably (and very much in-on-the-joke) bonkers that even the most rigidly-minded West-reared viewer will find it hard to resist. Full Review

A beautiful, preposterous slab of star-driven Bollywood fantasy, Anubhav Sinha's Ra.One hits all the right buttons and does so with gusto. Full Review
