Storyline of Ra-One-
The story of Ra-one revolves around a young boy(Armaan verma) who is the son of Shekhar and Sonia Subramanium (Sharukh khan and Kareena Kapoor.) growing up in London. He is potrayed as a new age computer geek child who is not satisfied with his father's image as well as the heroes that his father develops for video games. Sharukh Khan works for a firm which develops computer games and as one can predict, the company Sharukh works for is not doing quite well. However they have came up with the concept of intertwining the real and the virtual world. Kareena is basically a house wife and is shown researching for profanity/swear words for women.
Shekhar is a person who believes in victory of truth over evil and the strength of one's heart. However Shekhar insists Shahrukh to create a villain who is all mighty and undefeatable. Shahrukh finally gives it a thought and finally comes up with Ra-One a villain who is the most powerful villain ever and is the combination of ten super villains as the movie puts. Also he develops a hero G-One which he has based on himself but has lesser power as compared with Ra-One.
The characters were given HARTs(equivalent to hearts) which were the basis for their power. However the rule for killing a character was quite hard as both of them were unassailable until a gun with a single bullet is fired onto them. Also both the heart and the body must be attacked otherwise they won't die.
All hell breaks loose when Ra-One comes out of the game into the real world when Lucifer (Armaan Verma) leaves the game without finishing and Ra-One challenges him to come back otherwise he will come out in the real world to finish off Armaan. In this process he kills Tom Wu and attains his body/look. The rest of the story is Ra-One's pursuit for Lucifer. Also Armaan brings G-One into the real world to fight against Ra-One. The ending however comes with the moral that no matter how strong evil is, truth always prevails in the end.
