Ra One (2 Disc Set) Bollywood DVD with English Subtitles

Although I don't normally use the extras DVDs in the 2fer sets, I ordered this one. It is hard to find original Bollywood DVDs since pirate versions are so rampant. The DVD I received appears to be a true original, thankfully. I particularly enjoyed viewing this movie with my friend who is a scholar of Hindi who gave me some additional insight into the plot that did not occur to me at first. There are some great references to Hindu legends, particularly the Ramayana. But besides the fact that I adore SRK, the special effects are very very good. We see some FX-knock-offs of Matrix and movies like Hero/Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but I think they were well done. A good action story that is generally also not too violent. Kind of a way out story, but for Bollywood fans not a problem.

Shah Ruhk Khan is my number one favorite Bollywood actors. He is talented, versatile, entertain-able, shy and sexy to boot. The characters he portrays are fantastic because you can relate to them and to the situations that are plotted in these movies; and most times you also can a dose of wittiness. I would recommend them as family entertainment. I can honestly say that 90% of films where Shah Ruhk Khan is acting can be seen by the whole family including children of all ages.

What else can I say?! The King of Bollywood in a movie ahead of it's time!

It was wonderful to see SRK tackle this science fiction genre. I thought the science stuff in the beginning too complicated for me, but I'm sure the science geeks will get it. LOL. Otherwise an enjoyable and entertaining movie. I hope Bollywood tries expanding in this genre. Imagine SRK playing the role of Batman Hindi style with a throw down dance number, Hindi style, at a Bruce Wayne party. The gorgeous Priyanka Chopra as Catwomen? Ummm. My international movie dream. :-)

I was surprised by this film due to the fact that it is not the type of genre as SRK points out, that is popular in India. Not so here in the states and it was brilliantly done! SRK , cast and crew have really set the stage for FX and the superhero in Indian films. This is a nice change of pace from Bollywood, but it still has some fantastic songs, dance numbers and drama! Awesome film!!!!

Wow. So disappointed in this. Not what I was expecting at all. Weak story, and pretty much a children's movie. Needed a better script. The plot falls apart quick and it lacks heart.

My daughter and I have watched this film too many times to count. Every time we watch it we still find ourselves cracking up. Not to mention Shahrukh delivers a superb performance as G.One. Too awesome! Have to watch it if you love Scifi as much as I do!

VERY GOOD MOVIE RECV'D ON TIME IN GREAT CONDITION.
