9 | |
10 | A 2011 Bollywood scifi-action-comedy. Shekar Subramaniam, a computer game designer, at the urging of his son, creates a new game with a completely cool and completely unkillable villain: Ra.One. Naturally enough, this goes horribly wrong when Ra.One escapes from the game into the new world, with the personality of history's ten greatest bad guys and a grudge against Shekar's son. The only one that can stop Ra.One is G.One, the game's hero. But can even he beat a villain who never dies? |

12 | Partly a ripoff of ''Film/TheTerminator'', partly a ripoff of ''Film/{{Tron}}'', entirely enjoyable. |

14 | !! This film contains examples of: |
15 | |

22 | * BarbieDollAnatomy: Justified, as video game characters have no need for genitalia. |
23 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] by Ra.One. Prateek wanted a game with an InvincibleVillain. Said villain ended up escaping to the real world to fight the only gamer who ever managed to get to the second level: Prateek. |

33 | %%* HeartLight |
34 | * FunWithAcronyms: In-universe: Ra.One is short for "Random Access Version One." The game's designers keep it when they notice it can also be read "Ravan", as in the demon [[Literature/{{Ramayana}} Ravan]]. G.One, on the other hand, stands for "Good One". |
35 | * GeniusDitz: Shekar. [[spoiler: Apparently, no one notices the difference when he's replaced by a robotic double incapable of comprehending sarcasm.]] |

43 | * HeroicBuild: G.One has one. And in the dream sequence in the beginning, we see "Lucifer", who looks like Shekhar (and by extension, G.One), but with longer hair, shirtless. Creator/ShahrukhKhan [[DyeingForYourArt worked really hard]] [[MrFanservice and it shows]]. |
44 | * HollywoodHacking: Prateek is shown to be very good at this in the beginning. |
45 | * HypocriticalHumor: |
46 | --> '''Prateek''': We're ready to kick [[CurseCutShort your—]] |
47 | --> '''G.One''': Language, Prateek. ''[to Ra.One]'' We are ready, to kick your '''fat ass.''' |
48 | * InsideAComputerSystem: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] Ra.One and G.One are video game characters who have escaped to the real world. |
49 | * InvincibleVillain: Ra.One is ''designed'' to be this in the game as Prateek, Shekhar's son, thinks an invincible bad guy would be cool. [[BeCarefulWhatYouwishFor Too bad, he ended up escaping into the real world]]. He does have an AchillesHeel however. |
50 | * KilledOffForReal: Akashi and [[spoiler:Shekhar]]. |
51 | * LOL69: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Prateek's user name is Lucifer. |
