Story: Sekhar Subramanyam(Shahrukh Khan) is a video gaming Engineer, he designs a game in which the villain is unbeatable. When the trails are on; the villain character RA.ONE escapes from the game and kills Sekhar. RA.ONE takes the face of Arjun Rampal and is after Prathik(Armaan), son of Sekhar. Who saves Prathik forms the remaining part?

Performances: Shahrukh is okay and tried his best ,he looked artificial with wooden face and smile. Kareena provided the required glamour. Armaan is good. Arjun rampal was wasted. The remaining cast is okay. Weak Story line with uninteresting Screenplay makes the audience bored in the initial Scenes. The second half is okay to some extent but the climax episode was not dealt properly. Music is okay. Editing could have been better. The Direction is not up to the mark in many Scenes.

Analysis: Shahrukh suited well to the G.ONE role, his expressions and smile looked artificial at times. Kareena looked glamorous; she is hot in the song “Chammak Challo”. Master Armaan has done good job. Arjun rampal has donned yet another unimportant role; he just comes for the fight sequences in the 2nd half. The remaining cast just fills the slots. The story is poor. The director failed in incorporating the emotional content in it. Screenplay is predictable at times. The special effects are good. Some fight/ Chase sequences like Airport fight, Local train episode appeared stretched. Superstar Rajni Kanth donned a small cameo as Chitti-The ROBOT, which looked completely out of place in the movie. Priyanka Chopra and Sunjay Dutt have friendly appearances.

Cinematography is good. Music is okay with a couple of catchy songs.
“Dildaara” and “Chammak Challo” numbers are already chartbusters and they looked good on the screen as well. The background score is poor. Editing is okay. The screenplay is partially okay. The story even though fictitious lacks minimum logic at times. The Direction is mediocre. Anubav sinha completely depends on grandeur look and stylishly picturised action scenes (his earlier movies DUS, CASH ) and fails in picking good story lines. The technical values and VFX are of very good quality almost on par with Hollywood standards.





Plus: Visual effects, couple of Songs
Minus: story, Emotional content, narration



Verdict: Disappointing flick, don’t risk yourselves unless you are an ardent of Shahrukh.
