What do you think of Ra.One trailer?

The theatrical trailer for Shah Rukh Khan's massive budget Ra.One is finally out, and while it doesn't tell us much about the film that the first 15-second teaser didn't when we dissected it, here are some observations about the same:

1. There's a whole lot of posturing going on, with the film seemingly 'influenced' by The Matrix, Iron Man and even Krrish.

2. "What if something that is meant to be played starts playing with your life... This Diwali, G-One is the only protector." That's what the text of the trailer tells us, seemingly conforming rumours about the story of the film. The film is supposedly about a video game designer who watches a villain he create (Ra.One) exit the game and start terrorising the real world, and so is forced to enter the game himself to stop him. Again, these are just rumours -- but the line about 'something meant to be played' makes them seem pretty real.

3. The effects look good, but Shah Rukh Khan looks even better. Younger, fresher and more attractive than he has looked for a considerable while now, King Khan seems to be entering superhero mode bigtime with this one.

4. Sorry, but a superhero named G-One still just reads like Gone to us. We hope Khan notices.

Tell us what you think of the trailer!
