so tonight something happen to me that i have never tried before - i am really going all out here in Chennai, tonight the team decided to go to the cinema, needless to say that not to many movies here in Chennai are in English and the one we decided for, was for sure not .. we decided to go for one of the all time biggest films in the history of Bollywood, now for those of you that do not know what bollywood means to Indians, well i can tell you that this was a once in a life time experience.. Just to give you a bit of background on Ra-one, the pre-production started already in 2007, and the principal photography in 2009, with an estimated budget of 150 Crore (around 42 USD millions) it was officially the 2nd most expensive film in the history here in India. Prior to international release of 26 October 2011, Ra-one had multiple premieres in places like Dubai, London and Toronto..The film released across 5,000 screens worldwide, making it the largest Indian cinematic release in the world. However it wasnt indias 2nd biggest investment for nothing it went on to break multiple box-office records, including highest Diwali day collections, highest single-day collections and highest three-day collections. In a five day worldwide launch the film did 173 crore (USD 35 million) - needless to say that this film was and is BIG!!
(yes ladies - this is our Indian super hero, and he sings and dances as well..)
The film although in Tamil (mixed with English) was great - an Indian science fiction superhero film, featuring singing and dancing blew me away, the special effects makes the "matrix" films look like a cartoon, seriously it was incredible, i have to admit that i did not mind the singing and the dancing, the humor and the sci-fi all mixed in one of the most action packed films i have ever seen, and to make things even better - it all got served right in your face - in 3D ... what a blast, i can officially recommend this film for anybody that would like to try something a little bit different ..
