Ra.one's ideas lifted from Robot and other Superhero films?

The first 30 second trailer of the much awaited RA.One was released today, but it opened to rather mixed reactions. I found some obvious similarities between many Superhero films and this one. Of all the movies, it seems to have been influenced by the Rajni-Ash starrer 'Robot' (Endhiran) the most.
Even months before, media had come out with stories that RA.one is a mishmash of Robot and Toonpur Ka Superhero. The media was also the first to spot the stark similarities between the posters of Ra.one and Robot. If you weren't updated on these stories before, click here
Check this out.

In the pictures below, the top image is from RA.one and the below one from Robot. I'm not making any judgements here but this looks very, very similar. What do you think?






G.one even wears contacts like Chitti!

  1. Its A 30 sec Damn trailer,what do you actually see or know to see if its copied or not?!?!
    people can be so stupid,this is by far the stupidest post. btw srk will be the last person to copy,hes probably the only actor in bollywood that has done the few if not none movies that have been copied or inspired by other movies be it hollywood or bollywood,thats why hes the King. And I doubt he would want to copy Robot since he turned it done and by the fact that Robot did average business in the North,which is where srk hits for the most.Robot wasn't even that good,Rajni looked too old for his role,and fat,it was just odd,the story was seen before and heard before,nothing new,music was okay,only thing good about the movie was the gorgeous Aishwarya,to whom they gave little role,so wtf. Atleast this movie has the great SRK,and he fits into the look of the movie perfectly.

  4. Bad. Never expected this out of SRK. But I enjoyed Robot so I hope I can enjoy Ra.one too.

  5. IF SRK WANTED TO COPY ROBOT THEN WHY WOULD HE HAD REFUSED THE FILM IN THE FIRST PLACE"

    Lol that's where the logic lies. SRK knew the whole story and the screenplay (during script reading by Shankar) and he took advantage of that. He and Shankar had creative differences over a certain things and hence didn't do it. But he's copying Shankar now. LAME.

  6. The contacts look terrible and the movie looks dumb as usual.

  7. Disgusting. Bollywood should change it's name to Copywood and Shahrukh to Copy Rukh Khan.

  8. Why would he be so dumb to copy the exact carbon copy? But going by the director Anubhav Sinha, ANYTHING is possible. So this is hardly a surprise.

  9. The scenes are quite similar...so obviously the two movies will be compared. Come DIWALI and we'll all know which one's/who was better.

  10. omggg thats like a lot of similarities. Shankar can sue shahrukh for this. He offered shahrukh the film and gave the script for a reading and shahrukh copied all his ideas. what a shame.

  11. Wow, this is amazing. Cannot believe people in Bollywood have stooped so low. When you have 150cr budget, you don't have ideas. And when you don't have ideas you copy!

    I'd rather watch Robo again than watching it's copy.

  13. All superhero films always have something in common. That's nothing new. What I'm positive about is that this will be the best superhero film to come out of India for sure. Robot's effects, and Krissh's effects were very cheesy. Ra. 1's effects already look so much better than those two films. Also, Shahrukh Khan is just fabulous!
