shahrukh khan Ra One Movie Review

There's a new showman in town. And he power dresses as a superhero.

While much is at stake with Shah Rukh Khan [ Images ] pulling all stops in making his debut as a rubber suit-clad saviour with neon blue contacts a no-holds-barred sci-fi extravaganza, Ra.One is generating ample curiosity, among fans *and* haters, to ensure a major opening. Only its equally enormous budget will take more than a whopping figure or a much-publicised six pack to break even and out.

Box office fickleness aside, Ra.One, a clever word play on the mythological villain and scientific model Random Access: Version One follows the classic good-versus-evil theme yet draws visible inspiration from Hollywood's money-minting franchise of men in masks.

Directed by Anubhav Sinha (Tum Bin [ Images ], Dus), Ra.One, co-starring Kareena Kapoor [ Images ] and Arjun Rampal [ Images ] in the titular role, is all set for an October 26 release. While we await SRK's [ Images ] return to big screen after a year-long gap, post-My Name is Khan, here's a look at its highly-anticipated soundtrack by Vishal-Shekhar against Atahar Panchi, Vishal Dadlani [ Images ] and Kumaar's penmanship.

It all begins with Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam, better known by his shorter and sweeter moniker, Akon. The international R&B artist floors you with his free-flowing Hindi, (even when mouthing pedestrian lines like Tere picture ka main hero) and passionate rendition of V-S's insanely addictive, Chammak challo.

A still from Ra.OneA scorching mishmash of Arabic influences and Bollywood-style bhangra amid Hamsika Iyer's swiftly-pronounced Tamil lyrics, the showstopper song's perfectly-timed arrangement and vivacious rhythm makes it a win-win. Given Chammak challo's infectious temperament, it's only fair it should feature multiple times in all its numerous remixed avatars.

The heard-before sentiment takes a backseat as soon as you realise Dildaara is a legally purchased albeit altered edition of Ben E King's Stand By Me. Despite an awkwardly inserted chorus, the original's emotional essence coupled with Shafqat Amanat Ali's silky smooth vocals ensures Dildaara a play-it-again designation.

Nothing quite like another shot of Akon though. As if on cue, the sensational voice behind 'Smack that' makes yet another high-adrenalin appearance, joined by Shruti Pathak and Dadlani, in the utterly hip and electronic-meets-dhinchak sounds of floor-burner Criminal, remixed or otherwise. Cannot help wondering how A R Rahman [ Images ] would have been the second best option to perform in Akon's absence. Their voices have a strikingly similar structure.

When choir meets classical, it results in an intense concoction called Bhare naina. Even as Vishal-Shekhar cram the tempo with exaggerated orchestration, it is Nandini Srikar's compelling, intricate delivery at conveying pathos and estrangement that makes Naina truly haunting. The lady behind several catchy jingles owns the song.

Speaking of which, Siddharath Coutto's peppy yet monotonous Right by your side feels straight out of a bike or cellphone commercial. Wishing for Chammak challo, already? Me too.

Wiping any trace of ho-hum caused by Right by, composer duo Vishal and Shekhar get behind the microphone to serve a fancy, fast-paced retro cocktail of RD Burman's memorably wild creations -- Piya tu ab to aaja (Caravan) and Duniya mein (Apna Desh) against a speeding train-inspired arrangement and Ra.One's recurring theme, aptly titled, Raftaarein. Quite a tribute, this. Works too.

A still from Ra.OneEnter the desi Matrix where semi-industrial rock-meets-trance-meets-funk-meets-Hindustani classical in Chase), a giddy and groovy mixed bag of musical genres and extremes. Props to Sukhwinder Singh [ Images ] and Vishal for their dynamic efforts in projecting these contrasts.

Swagger, heroism, fantasy, panache are the driving elements of a superhero caper's signature tune. And while there are strong undertones of 007, Batman, Spiderman, Ocean's Eleven, Harry Potter [ Images ] and Inception in the soundtrack's final three thematic pieces -- Comes the light, I'm on and Song of the end, Vishal-Shekhar eventually succeed in emulating that all-important larger-than-life appeal.

There's no denying this. Ra.One, with all its pomp and pizzazz, is a thoroughly enjoyable soundtrack. It's grand. It's great. It's, well, give it a shot.


Expired!


My driver's license expired in August...


I never look at my driver's license.... nor does anyone else!   I'm a grandmother after all...


While going thru a pile of papers Monday evening, I found the notice to renew my driver's license...


Tuesday afternoon, I had the staff meeting / baby shower.  Wednesday afternoon, I had a dr's appt.... so... yesterday afternoon, I made a bee-line from work to the DMV!



I was able to renew my driver's license even though I didn't know what that triangle-laying-on-its-side sign was...



...I live in the sticks and we don't have none of them around here!

The DMV office closes at 4:30 and I was sure I'd be the last person seen for the day.... but OH NO!  Three cars... count 'em... three cars pulled in when I was leaving at 4:23 pm.



At least, I don't have to worry about renewing my license again for eight years!   However, you'd think that the folks at DMV would want to check me more often now...



Newtown, warehouse (Theme Day: Mystery Object)

This redeveloped warehouse is located in the inner city suburb of Newtown. The giant mouth, complete with teeth and a tongue poking out, is perched on the facade. There is no signage on this building that might offer any clues about this mystery object.

.:. Gucci Museum Opens in Italy .:.


Gucci celebrated its 90th birthday by inaugurating a museum in Florence, Italy, the brand's birthplace. "The intent is to tell our story and make it visible for everyone, doing something with and for this city," said Gucci president and chief executive office Patrizio di Marco. The museum is "an homage to the city. Although Gucci is a truly international company, we are a Florentine success story."

"This is so important for the brand because it’s not just about bags and shoes but history and Italy," said François-Henri Pinault, head of the luxury conglomerate PPR, which owns Gucci. “What makes a luxury brand is a combination of history and craftsmanship, design, and materials. Gucci is a part of Italian history. It was important to make a real statement.”
