“Raavan kabhi marta nahi. Issi liye tum har saal usse jalate ho.” The bad guy gets the best line in the film. Sadly, his screen time is minimal. Ra.One comes alive every time the good (G.One, Khan) and the evil (Ra.One, Rampal) face-off. But they hardly do.Ra.One carries the burden of being Hindi cinema’s costliest film, and stars one of our biggest superstars. The film has almost everything going for it: The SFX is up-to-mark, the concept interesting, the scale mammoth.
But blame it on Anubhav Sinha, the director with slick-but-hollow films Dus and Cash on his CV (one worked at the box office, the other bombed). RaOne is no different; it is beautiful in appearance, but empty within. Which is a pity. Anubhav could have really made a mark with this one.
The SFX, no doubt, is the best you’ll have seen in a Hindi film (and that’s a big plus), but the shoddy writing spoils the party. What’s the point of having all that money and technology at your disposal, when the only sequences that truly stand out consist of two well-choreographed action scenes and an item song that amount to only about 11 minutes of screen time.The rest is made up of characters periodically grabbing each other’s private parts, inane humour (Lady warriors called Iski Lee, Uski Lee, Sabki Lee), and stereotypes that range from a bumbling south Indian man to a fat black lady, and a homosexual customs officer (who salivates at G.One’s nipples, no less). Four writers are credited with the film’s screenplay; each of them is squarely responsible for messing up the effort put in by the technical crew.
The disappointing thing about Ra.One is not that it resorts to inane jokes and done-to-death cliches in a desperate bid to ‘entertain’, but that it had the potential to truly kick some – as G.One puts it – “fat ass.” In stead, we get a film that works in half measures.
