What would you do if you read abysmal reviews of a movie, your friends and relatives telling you it is an absolute waste of time, not worth your money, and should be definitely avoided? Most of you would probably avoid that movie without as much as giving a second thought to it. But not us! No sir, we are a group of people who have watched movies like Maharaja and Aflatoon (yep...these are names of actual motion pictures), we have actually enjoyed an ingenious movie by the name of Saat Khoon Maaf and have chucked pop-corn at the screen while watching Ready (agreed, that was out of sheer frustration). So, just as to understand why exactly people start rambling after hearing the word Ra.One, we decided to take the matter in our own hands and go watch the movie in one of the most happening theatres in Mumbai- G7. But as bad luck would have it, we were told not to hoot and shout (even to appreciate the magnificent entry of our ‘Superhero’) in the theatre. But we somehow still managed to let our feelings be known to the public. So after watching the entire movie (oh yea…we saw the entire movie), I realized we actually enjoyed it and here is why:
1. The actual name of the movie is Random Access Version One.
2. As an Indian I feel so proud to see that a British firm not only has many Indian employees but in the conference full of Brits, every detail is discussed in Hindi. I think I cried out of joy and love for my nation.
3. The actual hero of this movie (some girl named Prateik) has the coolest haircut ever! Some of my friends did not like it, I wonder why!
4. I think there was Kareena Kapoor in the movie, do not really remember it but yes, I definitely remember that movie featured Sanju baba and Piggy Chops. I mean common people, that is more than one could have hoped for! It requires some serious thinking and efforts from the script-writer’s part to make such scenes actually happen!
5. There are 3 levels of the game. Can.You.Believe.It- THREE!!!!!!!!
6. Arjun Rampal does not feature in the entire movie (and this time I am not even being sarcastic, I really enjoyed Ra.One for that reason…lol)
7. This movie and I repeat only this movie could achieve the impossible feat of burying a man and then spreading his ashes in the river. I and one of my friends were laughing but others seemed to think it was just cruel of us and we did not have H.A.R.T.
8. Which brings me to the next LOL moment of the movie- H.A.R.T.
9. I learned something so darn important from Ra.One- All you have to do to board a flight from UK to India is pass the metal detector test. And here I was thinking you actually need a TICKET! Silly me!
10. Chitti (Rajnikanth).
11. Another lesson learned- So what if husband has passed away as long as Sonia (I think this role was played by Kareena, not too sure, will double check) has a robo-replacement. Way to go chammak challo :D
12. Chammak Challo (Again, no sarcasm this time, the song is real nice! Wow that makes 2 non-sarcastic reasons.)
13. 12 ‘dibbo wali’ local train and our ‘superhero’ takes almost 40 minutes to find his girl in it! I mean really hilarity ensured!
14. By this point of the movie I had switched off the logic button in my brain but not one of my friend who observed that right after Dusshera, how can you have Ganesh Chaturthi Festival? To me, that was one more lesson to learn from Ra.One- Haan Farishtey Hote Hai!
15. The deadliest, most evil, unbeatable,…(sense the sarcasm) bad, bad, bad villain of all times develops tattoos all over his body to scare his opponent! Oh the fright it gave us all!!!
16. Ten Ra.One’s!! No am not kidding…you actually get to see 10 Arjun Rampal’s on screen with ONE single expression. You think that is an easy task?
17. Recite poetry and BAM! You kill the bad, bad, bad villain.
18. Oh I forgot, G.One means Good One! LOL
19. There are special effects in the movie I think.
20. MOVIE. ACTUALLY. ENDS.
So who says it is a waste of time to watch Ra.One? If nothing else, I assure you reason number 20 will guarantee some enjoyment.
tsk tsk Sneha, you missed out on so many IMPORTANT and valuable points. Let me refresh your memory:
ReplyDelete1) SRK gets abused on his MAIN part atleast thrice in the movie but still has the audacity to tell Kareena (via a typewriter no less!!) "let's make a baby". Like the one they already made (named Lucifer) wasn't good enough to be boy and/or girl.
2) Barron industries/company (or whatever it is called) has very unique offices. They are always BARREN. People get killed and their offices get manhandled but no one bothers checking or even cleaning up the mess.
3) There is an EXACT replica of the Statue of Liberty at CST (which for some reason I have failed to notice till now).
4) Sneha has no H.A.R.T. That's right, Sneha Harkut has no H.A.R.T.
5) Apparently, 170 crores/lakhs were spent on this movie but we all know where it went (hint: 70 went on the semi-nude models and there remaining 100 in making the fat African-american woman gyrate around a pole!!).
6) If you want to indulge in dirty activities just send your kid away to "play games". And it is alright if your kid tells you a joke that ends with condom-condom. Wow, the world sure has grown!
7) It is OK to put your dad's ashes in your pocket, as long as you don't forget to remove it before putting your clothes in the washing machine!
8) A small correction to Sneha's 18th point, G.One does not stand for Good One (I so wish it did). It stands for Gay One. Reason: No comments
I will be making additions to this post as and when I remember but overall, a must-watch movie....NOT!!
Thank you Sneha for this really REALLY wonderful post! :D
Dear, ur forgeting one damn important moment of the muvi..the train - Borivili to CST :P :P
ReplyDeleteHaha Vindo..even now I can think of at least 10 more 'reasons' we enjoyed Ra.One! Love point number 7..lol!
ReplyDeleteand Unknown, (m guessing its SK :p) apparently there is a train early in the morning wch goes frm Borivali to CST so I will give scriptwriter credit for that! (WE can say it didnt at all look like early morning in the movie but there are so many more obvious flaws that we can simply ignore this one)
