Anubhav Sinha Admits Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra.One Was ‘Harshly Judged’; Reacts On Being Called ‘Ahead Of Its Time’
Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan starred in the 2011 film Ra.One, which gained attention at the time for its extensive visual effects (VFX). Despite being ahead of its time, the film failed to attract a substantial audience to theaters. However, years later, Ra.One is being praised for its VFX and special effects, with many considering it the “gold standard.” Anubhav Sinha, the director of the film, acknowledges that Ra.One was harshly judged during its initial release.
Ra.One’s Resurgence and Praise for VFX
In recent years, films like Brahmastra and Pathaan, which heavily relied on VFX, have been released. However, some of these films received criticism for their poor VFX, as was the case with the first look of Prabhas starrer Adipurush. Interestingly, Ra.One has gained a renewed appreciation, with netizens commending its execution. When asked if the film was judged too harshly for its time, Anubhav Sinha responded that he finds criticism harsher personally, but he acknowledges the opinions of those not involved in the film.
Recognizing the Film’s Legacy
Anubhav Sinha also expresses his satisfaction with the film’s longevity and legacy. He believes that a film’s lasting impact determines its success and happiness. Despite the initial harsh judgment and criticism, Ra.One’s ability to endure online and be recognized as ahead of its time brings him great joy.
Anubhav Sinha’s Current Projects
While Ra.One continues to receive acclaim, Anubhav Sinha’s latest film, Bheed, starring Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pendnekar, was recently released in theaters. Despite receiving rave reviews, the film did not perform well at the box office.
