Ten years back, Shah Rukh Khan's, Red Chillies Entertainment ventured into an area of film making that was seldom trod upon - the making of an epic movie. On the 26th of October 2001, Shah Rukh Khan along with Kareena Kapoor set the screen ablaze with his dream project, "Asoka". The movie was critically scrutinised and not very well received in the box office but B-Town had found a new couple, that of SRK and Kareena. Kareena even claims to have the best on screen chemistry with Khan.
Ten years later, Red Chillies Entertainment is back with another magnum opus, Ra.One, which is another dream ready to hit the big screen. This SRK-Kareena starrer is set to release on the 26th of October (again) and this movie will see them return as a couple after 10 years!
Two movies, two dream projects, two attempts at venturing into the lesser taken paths but by the same production house, the same lead actors and with the same release date. Will this finally turn out to be a dream formula?

Asoka was very good.... but Ra One is gonna be pathetic !
Asoka was a superb movie. SRK and Kareena enacted their parts beautifully! Their chemistry was crackling! In fact Kaurwaki is considered as one of her best characters and looks! Unfortunate it failed at the box office.
Ra.One's promos look fab. Yes many people are being put off seeing vast similarities in storyline and posters with Hollywood superhero flicks. but then again, their movies also seem to be twisted rip offs of each other! All superhero flicks are similar to each other in 1 way or another. So stop judging the movie already and go witness it for yourselves.
Asoka was a wicked movie did well overseas, but Ra.One ATBB
the ra one movie looks something that would be a knockoff of ironman. typical.
i bet the movies storyline would be a flop otherwise there wont be so much promo about the songs. akons song in particular, the only reason people will go to see the movie and ofcourse kareenas clevage and belly!
Hated Asoka, totally stupid movie
Im sure Ra one will do well
I thought Kareena said she looked best onscreen with Aamir Khan!?
Asoka was an amazing movie...they sizzled on screen...but this time I hope Indians can appreciate the effort put in Ra.One..it's soooooooooo incredible that Shahrukh is doing his best to produce something different for bollywood...I pray for the success of his work...but anyway the movie almost recovered its costs before release satelite rights, album,game, merchandise.etc,,,,,,it just needs to do a good job at the boxoffice and it'll break all the recoerds...SRK we'll always stand by you my king.
i loved loved asoka i'm not indain but this indain story really was very nice to watch in the big screen.
cant wait to watch Ra.one its not my cup of tea but im going to watch it for the king
In 2001....the Fan Base Of SRK was less than wt it has became 2day!!!
more than 4 billion fans worldwide!!!!
No Other Bollywood Actor has Such A Tremendous Amount on Fan Following...
RA.One Will Definetly Rock!!!
i am so happy that SRK is trying some new and that too at such a huge budget. All the very best :)
i hope it becomes a big flop.

Does anyone know the significance of 26 October?
If not then let me tell you. It is SRK and Gauri's wedding anniversary, so it is obvious that whenever he makes a dream project, he releases it on this date. That is called love! :)
Oh wow lovely i didnt know that.
get ur facts streight idiot 25 October is thier wedding anniversary
fate of ra 1 will be same as that of asoka...................it looks sh****
What a beautiful pair it is simply love their chemistry
All the very best for the new movie
Aishwarya was the 1st choice for Asoka, thank god she didn't do it
Uno pple will call it jinx bt I call practice makes perfect this time its gna aced it. No doubt,
Kareena and srk look like proper couples they so different, love em.
And srk dream women must be kareena he chose her twice oooooo ;)
They r amazing 2gether, better than srk-kajol, i dont like kajol-srk pairing at all, but srk-pc is better than srk-kajol or srk-kareena
All the very Best to Srk's Dream Project - Ra.One. Wish it tremendous success.
I agree. Their chemistry in Asoka was sizzling hot! They burned the screen! However, I do think that the movie was ahead of its times. There were not very many epic/period movies made during those years. They both acted really well though.
ITS LIKE HOW SALMAN AND KAREENA BROKE THE STUPID JINX WITH BODYGUARD AND NOW IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN WITH OUR OWN SRK AND BEBO!!
I actually like their pairing. They had a lot of chemistry in Asoka and I loved seeing them in scenes together in K3G (even though they were not opposite one another). I don't know if the chemistry will be the same this time around though.. the script makes a huge difference and this time I don't know if the script will allow for such chemistry to occur.

The fate will be same. Biggest disaster. Special effects and technology sucks big time.

Wow good observation. Thats very ironic and coincidental. I hope it works out for SRK this time. I wish him all the best :)
Point noted! SRK's home productions always have Kareena or another actress in the lead (Juhi, Deepika, Sushmita). Despite all the rumors, he never cared about casting Priyanka Chopra in his home productions as the lead, even tough I am sure Priyanka would really want that. So much for the so-called "affair"! *roll eyes*
BTW, SRK and Kareena do look good together!
all the best srk bebo!
Its amazing how they're releasing on the same exact dates! But other than that, shut the heck up! Ra.One will be a super hit at the very least:D
