Did you know that I want most superhero movies to kill themselves? It's true. The minute we take the budget of one superhero movie and give it to, say, five or six different comic whodunits like Murder by Death or Clue, I'll be a happy dame. But here's one superhero gem I can tolerate: India's ultra-expensive version of Iron Man/Hancock called Ra One. A longer-look at the film has arrived, and its big on drama, with the kind of soundtrack that will please fans of James Bond.
The film's star Shah Rukh Khan, also known as SRK, said during a Mumbai event that Hugh Jackman and the X-Men movies inspired him to make Ra One. Truly, the car-crouching in the final moments of the clip is very Wolverine. Or Catwoman? Maybe both, which is great.
Ra One is scheduled for an October release in India, but we may never see it in theaters. That's a shame, because this looks snappier and more vital than half of our CGI whizzbang. Would you rather see Ra One or Captain America?
