Abstract
Indian cinema has been experimenting with the genre of Science Fiction since the 1950s. Starting from the representation of mysterious species present on the earth, these speculative elements move towards highly advanced life however not limited to aliens, robots, humanoids, space and time travels, animal behaviorology, high-tech machinery, Artificial Intelligence, and zombies. Some cyberpunk movies have shown a dystopian vision towards technologically entangled life. The humanoids, presented in these movies, try to fit into the human culture and environment. It is professed that the major issue of this research is to seek the ontology of humanoids concerning Indian culture, customs, and morals. This is qualitative research and it critically analyses two movies from Indian Science Fiction Cinema; Robot (2010) by S. Shanker and Ra.One (2011) by Anubhav Sinha. There is the theoretical exploration of bioethics, personhood, and critical posthumanism with the textual analysis of primary with the help of various secondary sources such as critical articles, books, and video clips. The article argues that Robot and Ra.One presents an emotional, humane, and soft corner for non-humans, especially humanoids and cyborgs. The ontological quest of these Artificially Intelligent machines provides the phenomenological-hermeneutic way of understanding their existence. Robot and Ra.One observe humans and humanoid through a religious and moral lens to fit them into the multicultural Indian environment. These cyberpunks provide a cinematic view high-tech view of life where human autonomy is challenged.
