Ra.One mini-review

At last, a film that manages to be insulting to Chinese people, South Indians AND videogame characters. I've waited for this all my moviegoing life.

(For something much more elaborate and profound, read this great post by Samit)

  1. strange, some south indians are actually liking it. i thought they would lynch him for curd and noodles and for making absolutely no effort to either get the accent right or at least to mock at it...

  2. ...for making absolutely no effort to either get the accent right or at least to mock at it...

    I think there was a very minor attempt at mocking (or at least caricaturing), what with the "Aiyyos" and the very premise of a South Indian as an engineering geek - but I don't think SRK could have gone far enough with it, given the need to embrace a pan-Indian audience. Very confused and messed up film on so many fronts.

  4. there was a bit of unintentional humour also...Kareena'a background wasnt disclosed...once or twice she sounded like a typical punju north indian women...otherwise she seemed to have no clue which part of India her character belongs to :-) and then looking at Rajni, she covers her head like Punju women do but looking at a south Indian superstar??? ha ha ha
