The first 30 second trailer of the much awaited RA.One was released today, but it opened to rather mixed reactions. I found some obvious similarities between many Superhero films and this one. Of all the movies, it seems to have been influenced by the Rajni-Ash starrer 'Robot' (Endhiran) the most.

Even months before, media had come out with stories that RA.one is a mishmash of Robot and Toonpur Ka Superhero. The media was also the first to spot the stark similarities between the posters of Ra.one and Robot. If you weren't updated on these stories before, click here

Check this out.

In the pictures below, the top image is from RA.one and the below one from Robot. I'm not making any judgements here but this looks very, very similar. What do you think?In the pictures below, the top image is from RA.one and the below one from Robot. I'm not making any judgements here but this looks very, very similar. What do you think?

OMG! Kareena fans amuse me. in a wrong way. Below average? LMAO. 99% of her films are flops and everyone knows that. Robot is the biggest blockbuster India has ever seen! Even in Hindi, it is the highest grossing dubbed film of all-time. Get your facts checked.

GOOD GOD! Enough already! A superhero film is expected to have certain elements. You haven't even seen 1 MINUTE of the film and you're comparing it to other movies. I live in a big American city, where there is a huge indian population. No one here had even heard of Robot, let alone seen it. I've only seen the trailer of robot- and trust me, I have no interest in torturing myself further by watching the film.

I hate that people aren't even giving Shah Rukh a chance. Have an open mind.

"desimad"..........if you people have some time go checkout their videos on youtube and you guys will find out that they have some kinda personal grudge towards Rani,Salman,and SRK.......they always speak against these three and they are always full of praise for aishwarya...this cant be a mere coincidence...im 100% sure this site is run by ash fans or her PR....lol

SRK (Shah Rukh Khan) can never become SRK (Superstar Rajni Kanth)...

i hate SRK and i hated robot but all superhero films are same,R.one is not a copy....what do you expect from a superhero film...........devdas like romance and emotions,you stupid people!!!

Anonymous's picture

OMG people! this is a superhero film so what else do u expect?? I love hollywood action films but just because I watch one doesn't stop me from watching the others, they all have similarities! And I have never seen shahrukh khan like this so I can't wait. the west love shahrukh so it definitely wont flop in the UK. I cant wait for it, Id rather watch shahrukh than the robot guy any time!

Great post. What a loser Shah Rukh is. Stealing ideas from others' scripts and keeping it in your film.

anon, plz refrain urself 4rm showing how pea sized ur brain is. srk a loser??? plz see whwere u stand and then comment on how low someone else is????
STEALING IS HARDLY THE WORD. ROBOT ISNT THE ONLY GUY WHO IS PATENTED TO FLY OR WEAR CONTACTS OR TO CRASH CARS.HAVING SIMILAR ACTION SCENES IS NT CALLED COPYING, THE WHOLE DAMN STORY, CLIMAX IS DIFFRENT. IF THAT WERE TO BE SAME, MAY BE I WUD HAV SECONDED UR OPINION. AS OF NOW PLZ THNK B4 U INK,
i'm supr excited abt this, but i thnk it has a feel of iron man. but hey, its just a 30 sec promo, i'll keep my eye for the trailer and lets see how similar/diffrent it is.

Anonymous's picture

firstly i am writing to hindustan times, nvr expected this of such a reputed paper, hav they gone dry of gossips????
omg, since wen is two people wearing contacts a similarity???? some people just go too far.
firstly, guys this is srk's movie and nt some no-brainer's.yes, shankar had ofered the film to srk first,
why on earth wud srk want to copy??? he sure knws the sickening attitude of the media and some haters out there.
i mean was nt evn a full trailer, mere 30 secs of a 2hr movie, and lo people are jumping like monkeys and comparing it with robot,
ok, lets see some simlarities bw ra.one and robot:both are nt human, both can fly, both wear contacts and they jump around smashing cars. as far as i remember, evn krish did all this.how abt, both ra.1 and chitti had two eyes, two ears and all that.
thats how dumb it is!!!!! people are ready tp pull others down so easily.
i just want to tell people who are saying ths its bad version of robot and all that, plz for ur own sake see will smiths robot-I and then may be any other superhero movie u want, like superman, spiderman etc.
wud u say thse two are simlar(unlesss u hav gone dumb)???
on the same lines u just cant compare a robot and a superhero.
i also just remembered now that hrithik had a similar train scene in dhoom2. so are u now going to say shankar copied it 4rm d:2????
let people say what they want, but ra.1 will be a phenonmenon.i'm sure abt that.

SHMUCK, I WANTED TO KNW(if u dont mind,ie) WHY ARE UR POSTS ALWAYS FILLED WITH NEGATIVITY????
MOST OF THEM ARE ABT UR HATRED TO STARS. I MEAN ITS FINE IF U POST ABT STARS U LUV, BT WHY CANT LEAVE THIS STUPID HOBBY OF URS?????

God Shahrukh has to be the hotest man alive the way he's sitting on that car!! Huge turn on!!!!!!;)

they should have given SRK some mask to wear. He looks too gay in those contact lenses. unless ofcourse he intends to play first ever gay superhero. :-))

Have you seen the The Sea Inside?
Ok what about Action Replayy? Completely lifted from an epic sci fi, and made it a watered down song n dance version?

Anonymous's picture

I didn't like Ra.one's trailer. Loved Robot's trailers. Obviously copying didn't work.

Anonymous's picture

Bollywood is so lame. The remake Hollywood and Tamil/Telugu films to make hits. At least take permission before copying. That's the least you could do. Jeez.

Thanks for pointing out the a$$holes in Bollywood, shmuck.

frankly speaking when u compare RA 1 looks way more cool and fun n srk looks like a hot superhero.....robot looks tacky nw n rajni was funnt in d movie

Anonymous's picture

like every superhero movie looks like this, they all follow the same basic, blow up car trends and stuff, people are just too fixated on srk's wrongs. all of a sudden its copying krissh if a superhero leaps?! wtf. thats ridiculous. plenty of superheros leap, give the movie a chance and stop jumping to conclusions.

The promo is meh. I've never been a fan of Bollywood sci-fi, action thriller, etc. I don't think I'm going to watch it unless the ratings are high in most places! And I enjoy reading the lovely comments below. We're all such friendly, sophisticated, and sweet-tempered ladies on this website!

BTW b4 the 30secs promo was aired this is what
@tarahadarsh tweeted I don't think any 10-second promo has created such an impact ever. Imagine, what dhamaka the 30-second promo of 'Ra.One' will create.

and we saw what happened! MIDDAY experts tryin to make their biggest story haha!
