Ra.One's power. Relentlessly pursued, the family is forced to
bring out G.One from the virtual world to defeat Ra.One and
protect them.

Plot
Shekhar Subramaniam, a game designer, has delivered a number of commercial failures; his boss gives him
one last chance to develop a successful game. To impress his skeptical son Prateek, Shekhar uses his son's idea
that the antagonist should be more powerful than the protagonist. Jenny Nair, his colleague, uses Shekhar's
face as a model for that of the game's protagonist G.One (short for Good One and in Hindi Jeevan), while the
shape-shifting antagonist Ra.One (short for Random Access Version One and in Hindi Ravan)[6] is made
faceless. The game contains three levels, the final level being the only one in which either character can be
killed. Each character possesses a special device – the H.A.R.T (Hertz Amplifying Resonance Transmitter),
which gives them their powers. Upon reaching the last level, the characters get a gun with one bullet; the
opponent can be killed by this bullet but only if his H.A.R.T is attached.
Aakaashi, another colleague, notices unusual glitches but ignores them. When the game is officially launched,
it receives a standing ovation from the audience; Prateek insists on playing it immediately. He logs in under the
ID Lucifer and proceeds to the second level, but is interrupted. Ra.One, angry that a player has proceeded so
far, determines that Lucifer must die. He uses the wireless technology to enter the real world. Aakaashi informs
Shekhar, who rushes home, fearing for his son's life. Aakaashi is murdered by Ra.One, who then takes his
appearance and hunts down Lucifer. He meets Shekhar in the process. In an attempt to save his son, Shekhar
claims that he is Lucifer, but his lie is exposed when Ra.One scans his identity card. Consequently, Ra.One
kills Shekhar and makes it look like a car accident.
Sonia, Shekhar's wife, is devastated after his death and decides to return to India. Prateek realises that Ra.One
has come to life and was responsible for his father's death. He informs Jenny and she tries to bring G.One into
the real world. Meanwhile, Ra.One kills Aakaashi's mom at her house on his killing spree while in guise of her
son Aakaashi. Having murdered the old lady in his vengeance-driven carnage, Ra.One chases Prateek and
Sonia on their way in a wild car chase on their way to the airport, but G.One appears, having entered the real
world, and causes a gas explosion which temporarily disables Ra.One. G.One takes Ra.One's H.A.R.T. and
accompanies the family to Mumbai after Sonia realises that he can protect her son.
Ra.One returns to life, takes the form of a model, and tracks down G.One. Hypnotising Sonia, he assumes her
form to kidnap Prateek. Ra.One then instructs G.One to give him his H.A.R.T. back, and sends the real Sonia
in a malfunctioning local train. The train crashes but G.One saves Sonia and the others in time. To save
Prateek, he fights Ra.One; both reach the third level. G.One tricks Ra.One into shooting him without his
H.A.R.T. attached. Furious, Ra.One creates ten copies of himself. Prateek, unable to identify the real Ra.One,
remembers something his father had said to him: "If you join the forces of evil, its shadows shall always follow
you". The duo realise that only one of the ten Ra.Ones has a shadow: the original one. G.One shoots Ra.One
and destroys him with the sole bullet and Ra.One breaks into pieces. G.One knowing that if the pieces fall into
the ground, Ra.One will regenerate. So, he went to the place where the pieces will fall and made the pieces fall
in his body so that Ra.One could not regenerate himself. As the pieces fell on G.One's body, G.One began to
die and before dying he told Prateek that his dad love him very much and will always be with him. After
saying this G.One dies and breaks into black pieces and powder and returns to the virtual world, but his
H.A.R.T remains behind.
Six months later, Prateek and Sonia return to London, where Prateek manages to restore G.One to the real
world in remembrance of his late father.

Casting protagonist
Khan was the first actor to be cast in the film.[7] Three actors had initially been
considered for the lead female role; Kapoor was ultimately chosen because she insisted on playing the part.[8]
Rampal accepted the role of Ra.One after Sinha expressed a strong desire to cast him in the film.[9] Wu was
contracted to the film in July 2010,[10] and Goswami was cast one month later.[11] Bachchan agreed to be a
part of the film after being requested by Khan and Sinha.[12] Several cast members prepared extensively for
their roles; Rampal and Kapoor followed special diets to lose weight,[13][14] and Verma learnt capoeira.[15]
Khan and Verma performed their own stunts,[15][16] and Kapoor subsequently did so as well despite initial
reluctance.[17]
However, the cast did encounter problems during production. Khan faced difficulties with his superhero suit
and prosthetic makeup,[18][19] and injured his left knee.[20] The decision to cast Rampal was met with
scepticism due to "questionable acting abilities," a statement Sinha criticised.[21] In addition, Rampal
encountered back problems (which were treated by the time production began),[9] prompting speculation of a
possible replacement by Vivek Oberoi.[22] Jackie Chan had initially been approached for the role of
Aakaashi,[23] but he declined the offer. Rajnikanth suffered from health problems which caused a delay in the
filming of his cameo appearance.[24] Dutt faced a scheduling conflict with Agneepath (2012), which was later
resolved.[25]
Development
"Ra.One is the modern, new age technology version of our mythological "Raavan," who was a
mixture of ten different evil characters. I am essaying the role of G.One or better say "Jeevan," a
superhero who saves the mankind from Ra.One's torment. Through this film, I want to prove that
Indian superheroes can also be as cool as the international ones."[26]
—Shahrukh Khan on Ra.One
According to director Anubhav Sinha, the idea of Ra.One originated when he saw an advertisement on
television which showed children remotely controlling a human. He was attracted to the concept and wrote a
script based on it.[7][21] Sinha then approached Khan, who liked the story and decided to produce the film
under his production company Red Chillies Entertainment.[7] Sinha wasn't sure about retaining Khan's support
after the former's previous film Cash (2007) became a commercial failure, but Khan reportedly "remained
unchanged".[7]
Shahrukh Khan felt that the film possessed significant commercial potential,[27] in addition to being a
fulfilment of his "childhood dream" to be a superhero and to fly.[28] He stated that he wanted to "make a film
that gives me the right to deserve the iconic status that I've got for 20 years."[29] He also said that he wanted to
make a film dedicated to father-son relationships, which were, in his opinion, "neglected" in Bollywood.[30]
Khan's idea was to make a simple family drama which expanded into an action film.[31] He declined to make
the film in English to increase its appeal for Western audiences, feeling that "cracking Hollywood on their
terms" was unnecessary.[16] Both Khan and Sinha credited their children for providing encouragement, and
regularly "approving" the film's execution.[7]
Red Chillies Entertainment continued to work on other projects before finalising the production aspects of
Ra.One.[32] After providing the visual effects for My Name Is Khan (2010), the studio focused solely on
Ra.One and did not take up any other films.[33] Khan initially approached a number of directors to helm the
film, including Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar, but they declined;[34] eventually, Sinha was made the film's
director. To prepare the film's premises and characterisation, Sinha spent several months viewing video clips,
digital art portals and comic books.[27] Sinha and Khan also watched around 200 superhero films from all over
the world.[35] The storyboards were designed by Atul Chouthmal, who was contracted after he met Khan at
Yash Raj Studios. While the former began work on the storyboards, the producers hired a storyboard artist
from Hollywood. Chouthmal revealed that Khan and the other artist differed on their visions of the film, and
so he was brought back.[36] Before filming, Khan reportedly took tips from actor Kamal Hassan regarding the
production of large-scale films, having been impressed by Hassan's Dasavathaaram (2008).[37]
The title of the film received significant

"I have always felt this – and even Alfred Hitchcock said that in a
media attention due to it being the name of
movie, which has a larger than life hero, the villain's role should be
the antagonist rather than the
very strong. So, I [also] felt [that] if the villain looks good, the [39]
protagonist. The move was considered
superhero will also look good."[38]
innovative,[40] and noted as a sign of the
—Shahrukh Khan, on the title of the film "rising importance of the villain in
Bollywood."[41] According to Sinha, the
title had not been planned as such, and
was ultimately chosen because Ra.One
"sounded cooler" than G.One.[42] Khan was advised to name the film after his own character; he declined to
do so, citing the inter-dependence between good and evil.[43] He also called Alfred Hitchcock as his
inspiration, and pointed out that the antagonists in films like Sholay, Mr. India and Sadak were better
remembered than the protagonists.[38][39]
Principal photography
The crew of Ra.One featured both Indian and overseas personnel. Nicola Pecorini served as the director of
photography, with V. Manikandan providing assistance.[27] Andy Gill and Spiro Razatos were hired as the
stunt supervisors, and Nino Pansini was hired as the stunt cinematographer. Sabu Cyril and Marcus Wookey
were responsible for the production design.[44][45] The film's producer was Bobby Chawla, but Gauri Khan
later stepped in after the former suffered a brain haemorrhage.[46] Filming took place at a number of studios,
notably Filmistan Studios, Film City and Yash Raj Studios in India and the Black Hangar Studios in the
UK.[47]
Principal photography was initially set to begin in Miami, but the idea was abandoned due to budget
constraints.[48] The first phase of filming began in Goa on 21 March 2010[49] and continued until May.[50]
The second and third phases took place in London with the entire cast, beginning in July 2010[51] and ending
in August.[52] The next phase was split into two schedules; the first schedule commenced at Filmistan Studios
in the first week of September 2010,[52] while the second schedule began in December 2010 and took place
over a seven-day period.[53] The remaining portions were filmed in July 2011 at Film City.[54] A cameo
appearance and a music video were filmed in the weeks leading up to the release, the former at the Whistling
Woods Studios in Mumbai.[55][56]
Ra.One featured three major action sequences, which were filmed in sets and real locations across Mumbai
and London. The cinematography borrowed ideas from video games, such as rapid transitions between first-
person and third-person perspectives.[45] Procedures such as bullet time were also incorporated into the
film.[57] The production design was closely associated with the lighting and cinematography to facilitate
smooth filming.[45] However, filming faced a number of difficulties including increasing costs, delays and
safety constraints.[42] In addition, differences between Khan and Sinha caused tensions on the sets.[46]
Post-production
As with the filming crew, the post-production crew of the film included both Indian and overseas
personnel.[58] Prime Focus carried out the film's 3-D conversion,[59] with London-based colorist Richard
Fearon performing the color grading.[60] Red Chillies VFX partnered with a number of visual effects studios
around the world,[21] and undertook the incorporation of the visual effects under the supervision of Jeffrey
Kleiser.[61] Nvidia provided the information technology–based software utilised for the effects,[62] while
Edwark Quirk supervised over the computer-generated imagery used in the film.[59] Resul Pookutty was
responsible for the film's sound design.[27]
The idea for converting the film to 3-D was put forth during filming,
and was implemented in July 2011 due to a revived interest in 3-D
films.[7] The process required 2,600 artists to convert 4,400 shots of
the film.[60] The sound design involved bridging the real and the
virtual world,[63] and the required sound enhancements were
achieved by using the Dolby Surround 7.1 system.[27] Incorporating
the visual effects began in April 2010,[64] and was preceded by
extensive research.[33] 1,200 artists worked for 2½ years to
complete the visual effects work.[65] A number of complex Kleiser (right) and Shahrukh Khan on
procedures were executed, including cubical transformations and the the sets of Ra.One
design of the faceless form of Ra.One.[33][57]
Despite precautions,[21] the post-production faced significant delays owing to the digital inter-mediation,[66]
increased work-load due to the 3-D and dubbed versions of the film,[67] and delays in the completion of the
visual effects.[68] The post-production also faced budget constraints[61] and witnessed an overuse of CGI
according to the cinematographer.[45] The delays left only two days for printing the film and sending it to
theatres, generating significant anxiety over a possible delay in the release.[68] Khan subsequently kept strict
tabs on the progress of work,[66] and postponed his knee surgery to complete the film on time.[69]
Costumes
The body suits worn by Khan and Rampal were designed by Robert Kurtzman and Tim Flattery, and made by
a team of specialists based in Los Angeles.[70] Sinha spent around three months conceptualising the costumes,
watching various superhero films to design a costume not created already. He then wrote a 23-page document
with his sketches and details of what he wanted, and gave it to the designers to work upon.[7] To create the
suit, Khan was required to enter a small chamber where a warm latex-like liquid was released up to his neck
and allowed to solidify, forming the mould which was then peeled off his body. The suit was joined by a
concealed zipper and subsequently modified.[71] Computer-generated embellishments such as light beams and
electricity were added to the suits after Khan expressed dissatisfaction with the
initial rushes of the film.[72] A total of 21 costumes were made for the film, with
each suit reportedly costing ₹10 million (US$140,000).[73]
Khan's suit was made of reinforced latex, coloured steel-blue and fitted with
micro-computer circuitry.[71] Rampal's suit was made of three-inch thick solid
rubber, and was red in color. Both actors were required to wear additional suits
inside their body suits to prevent skin contact.[13] Wearing the suits created a
number of difficulties for the actors. It took 20 minutes to put on the suits and 40
minutes to remove them.[13] In addition, the non-porous nature of the suits
created intense heat inside, causing excessive perspiration despite the presence of
G.One's costume prior to
special air conditioning ducts.[18] Khan later felt that the suits' conception had
the addition of visual
been a mistake since filming occurred during the day; digital adjustments to the
effects
suits brought "all the efforts to naught."[29]
Manish Malhotra designed the look and the costume of Kareena Kapoor for the
song "Chammak Challo", which received widespread media coverage.[74] Kapoor wore a red sari draped in
the style of a dhoti.[75] Since the release of the song, the costume was termed a "fashion rage,"[76] becoming
popular in India and some overseas countries. Fashion experts applauded the costume and Kapoor's ability to
carry it off "stunningly," though certain experts dismissed the naming of the sari color.[74]
Music
The soundtrack of Ra.One was composed by Vishal-Shekhar, with the lyrics being written by Atahar Panchi,
Vishal Dadlani and Kumaar.[77] A. R. Rahman provided the background score for a single sequence.[78]
Sinha announced that R&B singer Akon and the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra would be a part of the
soundtrack;[77] the former lent his vocals for "Chammak Challo" and "Criminal", while the latter performed in
"Bhare Naina". The composers obtained the official license to use Ben E. King's "Stand By Me," on which
they based the song "Dildaara."[77] The soundtrack contains fifteen tracks, including seven original songs,
four remixes, three instrumentals and an international version of "Chammak Challo".[77] The music rights
were bought by T-Series for ₹150 million (US$2.1 million).[27] The Hindi version of the soundtrack was
released on 21 September 2011; the Tamil version was released on 5 October 2011 and Telugu version was
released on 9 October 2011 respectively, featuring six tracks each.[79]
Release
Statistics
In India, the Hindi version of Ra.One was released across more than 4,000 plus screens worldwide- 3,100
screens in 2,100 theatres, breaking the record for the widest Bollywood release previously held by Bodyguard
(2011).[80][81] The Tamil and Telugu versions were released on 275 prints and 125 prints respectively.[82] A
week before the release, multiplex owners throughout India decided to allot 95% of the total available screen
space to the film.[83] Overseas, Ra.One was released in 904 prints.[84] This including 600 prints in Germany,
344 prints in the US, 200–300 prints in South Korea, 202 prints in the UK, 79 prints in the Middle East, 75
prints in Russia, 51 prints in Australia, 49 prints in Canada and 25 prints in New Zealand and Taiwan.[85] In
early October 2011, a partnership deal was being finalised by the distributors to allow the film to be released in
China across 1,000 prints.[86] In addition, the film was released in Pakistan and non-traditional territories like
Brazil, Spain, Italy, Greece and Hong Kong.[87] The 3D version was released in 550 screens across the
world.[80] Ra.One was noted for the extensive use of digital prints, reportedly making up 50–60% of the total
release;[86] in India, the film was exhibited in over 1,300 digital theatres, breaking the record previously held
by Bodyguard.[80] The wide digital release was implemented to lower distribution costs, make the film
accessible to a wider audience and reduce piracy.[86] However, despite the measures taken, pirated versions of
Ra.One were available on the Internet within hours of the film's release.[88]
Marketing
The producers of Ra.One spent ₹100 million (US$1.4 million) out of

a ₹520 million (US$7.3 million) marketing budget,[89] ₹150 million
(US$2.1 million) of this was utilised for internet promotions alone.[90]
The film's first theatrical poster was released in December 2010,[31]
and was followed by the release of two teaser trailers during the 2011
ICC Cricket World Cup.[91] The first theatrical trailer premiered three
months later.[92] Khan and Sinha undertook a multi-city tour during
which they unveiled a 3,600 feet-long piece of fan mail to collect
audience messages.[93] The official website of Ra.One was launched
on 31 May 2011, and an official YouTube channel for the film was
subsequently unveiled.[94] On 20 October 2011, Khan held a live chat
with fans on Google Plus, the first time an Indian film personality had Ra.One's poster featuring Arjun
done so.[95] Rampal's look in the film, which had been kept secret,[96] Rampal. This look was kept in
was revealed in late October 2011.[97] secrecy throughout the production of
the film until release.
The film's marketing utilised merchandise and games to facilitate the
creation of a franchise.[98] Khan marketed merchandise related to the
film,[99] which included toys, tablets and apparel.[100] On 14 October 2011, a gaming tournament featuring
games like Call of Duty was conducted in Mumbai and telecast live on YouTube.[101] Red Chillies
Entertainment partnered with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe to create "Ra.One – The Game," a game
for PlayStations which was released on 5 October 2011.[102] The producers further collaborated with UTV
Indiagames to design a social game titled Ra.One Genesis, with an independent plot based on G.One,[98] in
addition to designing digital comics based on the film's characters.[103]
Screenings
In May 2011, the first rushes of Ra.One were shown to the cast of Khan's other home production Always
Kabhi Kabhi (2011).[104] Subsequently, the film was screened for test audiences to study and gauge the film's
appeal across different age groups.[105] A few days prior to the theatrical release, Khan arranged a special
screening of the film's final cut in Yash Raj Studios, where he invited close friends, his family and the film's
crew.[106] Between 24 and 26 October 2011, Ra.One had international premieres in Dubai, London and
Toronto, all of which were chosen due to their international significance and large South Asian
populations.[107] The premiere in Dubai was held on 24 October 2011 at the Grand Cinemas, Wafi. A high-
profile dinner and charity auction followed, where Khan raised AED30,000 (approximately US$8,200) to
build a workshop for children with special needs.[108] The premiere included three simultaneous screenings of
the film, for which tickets were placed on sale for the public.[109] The premiere in London took place at the
O2 Cineworld the following day, and the premiere in Toronto took place at the TIFF Bell Lightbox on 26
October 2011.[110]
Ra.One was submitted to the Central Board of Film Certification on 14 October 2011 to receive its viewership
rating. The Board raised strong objections to the film's action scenes, fearing that they would influence young
children to emulate the stunts. The police and the Indian Railways security force had made similar objections
to the train-based stunts in the film, claiming that youngsters would "blindly imitate them" and hence put their
lives at risk.[111] The film was finally passed with a 'U' certificate without cuts, but under the condition that
prominent disclaimers were shown, stating that the stunts were computer-generated and should not be
imitated.[112] The British Board of Film Classification rated the film 12A for "moderate fantasy violence".[1]
In March 2012, a Mid-Day report alleged that Ra.One had received a favourable rating, pointing out that the
producers had violated the rules by meeting the Board officials during the screening.[113]
Plagiarism allegations
The film faced allegations of plagiarism with similarities to Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), the Batman
series, Iron Man (2008), The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010) and Tron: Legacy (2010).[114][115] Khan denied the
allegations, saying, "I got inspired from a lot of superhero movies but the movie is original. In fact, Ra.One
will be the first superhero-based movie in the world in which the superhero lives in a family."[116]
A few days before the release, screenwriter Yash Patnaik claimed that Ra.One resembled a concept that he had
developed several years before. Patnaik appealed to the Bombay High Court to delay the film's release, until
he was given due credit or 10% of the film's overall profit.[117] The court, observing prima facie evidence that
there had been copyright violations, asked the filmmakers to deposit ₹10 million (US$140,000) with the court
on 21 October 2011 before releasing the film. However, Patnaik challenged the court's decision and demanded
that the producers give him credit and not cash.[118] Sinha later claimed that he alone had developed the film's
story.[119]
Hacking
Ra.One also faced cybertheft and hacking issues. On 3 June 2011, three days after its launch, the official
website of the film was hacked by suspected Pakistani cyber criminals who stated that the act was in revenge
for a similar attack on a Karachi press club website. The hackers defaced the homepage and left a note
threatening the Indian Press Club.[120] Despite precautions, the song "Chammak Challo" was leaked several
months before the official release of the soundtrack. Khan clarified that the leaked song was a "rough version"
of the actual song, and that the person responsible for the leak was being looked for. He subsequently refuted
claims that the leak had been engineered as a publicity stunt.[121]
Television and home media
The television broadcasting rights for Ra.One were bought by Star India for a then-record sum of
₹350 million, surpassing 3 Idiots (2009).[122] The Indian television premiere of Ra.One took place on 21
January 2012 on STAR Gold, garnering a 28% market sharefor the channel and a TVR of 6.7.[123] Star India
subsequently syndicated the television screening rights to Disney XD, where it premiered on 2 June 2012.[124]
In May 2012, International Media Distribution announced that Ra.One would be televised on Comcast and
Cox, as a part of the celebrations of the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.[125] Discovery Channel tied
up with Red Chillies Entertainment to produce a one-hour program titled "Revealed: The Making of Ra.One,"
which aired on the channel on 30 March 2012. The program discussed the making of the film in detail,
including the visual effects and the challenges faced while filming.[57]
Eros International released the DVD of Ra.One on 13 December 2011 across all regions in one-disc and two-
disc packs complying with the NTSC format.[126] The DVD of the film contained alternate endings. Initially,
Khan had wanted to add alternate endings to the theatrical release itself, but later deemed it risky. The DVD
version was made interactive as well.[127] VCD and Blu-ray versions of the film were also released.[128][129]
The German Blu-ray edition was released on 1 June 2012 by Rapid Eye Movies.[130] On 24 July 2013,
French distributor Condor released the film as Voltage on 3D Blu-ray. It was released in a SteelBook edition
containing the 3D/2D Blu-ray discs and the DVD.[131] The same year, Japanese distributor Maxam released
the Blu-ray on 27 September 2013.[132]
Reception
Upon release, Ra.One received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics in India[133] and generally positive
reviews overseas. Review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 61% approval rating, based on 23
reviews with an average rating of 5.41/10.[134] On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean from film
reviews, Ra.One holds a rating of 60% based on eight reviews, signifying "mixed or average reviews."[135]
Positive reviews described the film as an

ambitious initiative and a technological success, "Some of the scenes are surely entertaining but when one
with some critics thinking that Ra.One had put goes to watch a SRK film, one hopes to be entertained
Indian films on par with Hollywood.[139][140] throughout, and sadly Ra.One fails to do so."[136]
The visual effects received near-universal praise,
—Zee News review; contrarily, several other reviews
though dissenting opinions stated that they were
"all over the place".[141] The action sequences praised the film's entertainment value.[137][138]
were also widely praised.[142][143] Other aspects
of the film received more polarising opinions,
and one very positive review was criticised for "over-rating" the film.[144] Mixed views were opined regarding
the plot's gaming concept, with some critics deeming it "far-fetched" and others lauding the "gaming-style
aesthetics".[134][145] Similarly, some critics called the emotional scenes "fulfilling" while others felt them to be
"lacking in connect with the audience".[146][147]
The story was negatively received by several critics, with a number of them deeming it to be disappointing and
lacking in originality;[142][148] one critic praised the original idea but criticised its "Bollywoodization".[6] The
direction was criticised in a number of reviews, though a few critics praised Sinha's pacing of the film and the
execution of the action sequences.[143][145] Some critics pointed to the presence of scenes which were not
child-friendly, despite Ra.One being promoted as a children's film.[149] Particular reviews criticised the lack of
character development and the film's "incoherently hackneyed morality".[150][151] A few critics panned the
film as a whole, describing it as a "mess";[152] one review commented, "It's convenient to say that if you have
no expectations from the film, you wouldn't be disappointed."[153]
After its release, Ra.One received numerous nominations and awards in India and abroad, a majority of them
for its technical aspects. The film notably won the National Film Award and the Filmfare Award for Best
Special Effects,[154][155] and four International Indian Film Academy Awards.[156] The film also received
several business awards for its marketing and distribution.[157]
Economics
Pre-release
The budget of Ra.One was the subject of significant speculation prior to its release. A number of estimates
placed the budget between ₹1.4 billion (US$20 million)[158] and ₹2.0 billion (US$28 million). It was
universally accepted that the film was the most expensive Bollywood film of all time,[100] with certain sources
stating that the film was the most expensive Indian film ever.[159] The original budget was revealed to be
₹1.30 billion (US$18 million) after promotional expenses.[160] Khan stated that he had "worked very hard" to
finance the film without borrowing money,[161] and reportedly hosted a television show just to finance the
film.[162] Ra.One earned ₹1.32 billion (US$19 million) from pre-release revenue sources, setting a new record
for Bollywood films.[163]
The extensive marketing campaign greatly increased audience expectations of the film. Ra.One set records for
the level of pre-release buzz for a Bollywood film,[94] and also topped a number of polls gauging the most
awaited Bollywood films of the year.[164][165] Anticipation for the film was equally high among the trade
analysts, with some commenting that the film would pass the ₹1 billion (US$14 million) mark in one week
and the ₹3 billion (US$42 million) mark in over three weeks.[122] Advance bookings commenced on 20
October 2011 on a limited scale, and expanded later. While initial ticket sales were low,[166] they picked up
considerably near the release date. A few days prior to the release, the advance booking was described as
"phenomenal,"[166] with an overall advance booking rate of 20–25% across the country.[167] A number of
advantages of the film's release were pointed out, such as the festive season and higher 3D ticket prices,
though there had been doubt regarding the timely release of the 3D version.[168]

In India, Ra.One debuted at the beginning of the five-day Diwali weekend, and subsequently broke the Diwali
opening day record.[171] The film then set the records for the biggest single-day net revenue and the biggest
three-day opening weekend earned by a Bollywood film, breaking the previous records held by
Bodyguard.[172][173]
Subsequently, the film began to suffer significant drops in its collections, with its five-day extended weekend
and nine-day extended week coming second to the records of Bodyguard.[174] The film faced an 84 percent
drop in collections in its second week and fell a further 90 percent in its third week, the latter primarily due to
the release of Rockstar.[175][176] The dubbed versions showed similar trends.[174] The Tamil and Telugu
versions together earned around ₹50 million nett.[160]
In overseas markets, Ra.One earned the highest three-day and five-day opening weekends among the
Bollywood releases of 2011;[177][178] by its second weekend, the film had become the highest-grossing
Bollywood film of 2011 in overseas markets, but the collections suffered drops throughout.[179] In general,
families and children formed the major portion of the film's audience,[180] and the 3D version is regarded as a
success.[181]
Possible sequel
Reports of a planned sequel of Ra.One began "A film like this requires a year-and-a-half of pre-

first film's release. [183] Khan later refuted the
speculations, saying that a sequel was unlikely due —Khan, on the possible release of a sequel[182]
to his other commitments.[184] After Ra.One won a
National Award, an "overjoyed" Khan said that the
film's world could be further explored. He stated that the sequel, if made, would be titled G.One and not
Ra.Two, and that he would make it "faster, bigger and better" than Ra.One.[185] Khan was reported to be
looking for a script, without a fixed release date.[186] In April 2012, Mushtaq Sheikh said that the pre-
production of the sequel had begun.[185] A number of reports stated that Kareena Kapoor would not be a part
of the sequel.[187]
Despite Khan's enthusiasm for the idea of a sequel, the film industry expressed mixed opinions regarding it.
Filmmaker Rajkumar Gupta commented, "It would be challenging to take forward a story that has not worked
earlier." Producer Ramesh Taurani responded negatively to the idea, saying, "It is important for the film to be
appreciated so that a sequel can be made." Trade analyst Atul Mohan called the sequel "a bad idea."
Conversely, others were supportive of the sequel. Producer Goldie Behl brushed aside arguments about the
success of the first film, saying, "If the people think that they can earn some more, then it doesn't matter how
big or small the hit was." Director Kunal Kohli also reacted positively, saying, "Certain ideas naturally lend
themselves to sequels. So why not use that investment of your time and effort to make a sequel that will take
the brand further?"[182]
Similarities between other films
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
The Plot of Ra.One was very similar to the film. Both film's protagonists are a mother and her son. Both film
has robotic beings - the hero and the antagonist who comes from a different place. The villain's primary target
is the child character. He can shape-shift and is more stronger than the hero. In the end, both the T-800 and
G.One, being the hero, sacrifice themselves.[188]
The Dark Knight trilogy
One of the poster of the film had imitated one of Batman Begins' poster where Batman is carrying Rachel
Dawes in his hand.[189]Another was said to be the scene where G.One falls from a skyscraper was similar to
the scene in The Dark Knight where Batman does it to catch a mobster.[189]
