Drona

"Drona" we went to see this hindi movie on 8.10.2008 in Cap Square at 8.45PM

The movie starts exactly like "Harry Potter" excellent location, the richness in camera, background sound, instead of the letters that reaches Harry Potter, it is blue coloured rose petals?!!! Blue coloured rose petal...woh what a imagination...Hats off Goldie Bhel

What would have happened to Harry Potter movie when there are 16 songs in it? The effects of that you can wittness in "Drona" one song when he realise he is alone and one song when he gets his power, one song when he sees his parents....I was half asleep by the end of the movie, shocked when my wife shaked me to wake up...only to say "No I was just seeing the movie by closing the eyes!"

Drona is about an orphan Aditya (Abhishek Bachchan), who has never experienced or felt love. The only thing that gives Aditya comfort is a magical blue rose petal that comes wafting into his room, making him smile through his tears. One fine day, the blue petal leads him to a beautiful Kada (a thick bangle like bracelet), which he starts wearing around his wrist. The Evil Riz Raizada (Kay Kay Menon) a descendant of the Asuras (Demons) has become by now desperate in his quest for the special ‘Amrith’, the only missing link in his grand plan of taking over the world. To get to the Amrith, he knows he will have to defeat Drona. But Riz is unaware of who and where Drona is!

Kay Kay’s character is more clownish than devilish.

Coming to the songs, which have no significance in the movie, are unbearable. The only thing that stands out in Drona is the brilliant special effects, which are way ahead of Bollywood standards.

Performances are poor. Abhishek Bachchan is no Hrithik Roshan or Akshay Kumar, although he tries hard in the action sequences, his body language or physique just doesn’t suit the role of a superhero with unprecedented physical power.

Now I have another reason to hate Goldie Behl-the Director of this movie, besides he has married Actress Sonali Bendre.
