Drona - Movie Review


http://www.masala.com/images/tmp/full/abhidrona1_full.jpg

The Movie Drona directed by Goldie Behl is a fantasy superhero film with a prolific cast - Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Kay Kay Menon and Jaya Bachchan. Goldie and Abhishek promise that the movie is one of its kinds and has the potential to appeal to audience across all ages. Featuring hundreds of top notch special effects and various Indian martial art forms, will Drona find a place for itself in the history of superheros? Can Drona become a sensation like Krrish did with kids?

All of us are here for a special reason and so is Adithya (Abhishek Bachchan). Drona is Adithya's story. It's about the journey that he embarks on to understand the true destiny of his life. Sonia (Priyanka Chopra) is his body guard and his companion in this adventurous journey. Riz Raizada, a magician is the evil who wants to conquer the world by defeating Drona and breaking his task.

Kudos to Goldie for having ventured into a genre less chosen by Bollywood directors, but making a superhero film is no child's play. A decent engrossing script and the optimum interpretation of the same make the difference.

Drona clearly lacks soul to be a superhero / fantasy film. The movie lies on a wafer thin and totally defective plotline that is weakly narrated. A very important aspect of such flicks is in fact the characterization and Drona falls short here too. A back-story that explains the circumstances by which the character acquires his abilities and motivation for becoming a superhero is hasty and dire. So is the portrayal of the characters, the power and the repercussion of both the good and bad is not defined. Our super hero here doesn't have a strong story to back-up his physical prowess nor does he have an equally magnificent evil to fight with, here the villain is funny and less daunting. Another reason why the movie fails to grab your attention is the lack of connection and continuity between two scenes. And the list is endless... The movie is drags and songs just don't fit anywhere into the reel and have no significance whatsoever.

Taking its root from Indian mythology, Drona had the scope and the command to become a great superhero but unfortunately disappoints. Special effects were wonderful but lost its charm in this irrational film.

Abhishek Bachchan just doesn't have the personality to carry the image of a superhero. He is wretched in his expressions. Priyanka Chopra's is the saving grace. She in fact carries the action sequences better than Abhishek. Jaya Bachchan is good. The potential artist, Kay Kay is wasted in this clownish evil role.

Vivek Oberoi: I am a Tamilian

  Vivek Oberoi:-  I am a Tamilian Vivek Oberoi has said he has great affinity for Tamil Nadu Movies and that he makes sure that he visits his grand-parents in Chennai regularly. Vivek Oberoi in an interview to Tamil media earlier had said ‘Naanum Thamizhkarandhan’ (means ‘ I am also a Tamilian ’). Vivek Oberoi earned the good will of Tamil Nadu people when he adopted a Tamil Nadu village devastated by the killer Tsunami in 2004. Vivek’s next two big films have a solid Tamil connection. The immediate ‘ Prince ’ is being dubbed and released in Tamil on April 9. The following ‘ Raktha Charithra ’ by Ram Gopal Varma in which Suriya is also playing an important role is a multi lingual and that too will be released as a direct Tamil version. The most highlighting factor about these films is that Vivek Oberoi will speak Tamil himself for the dubbing. When Suriya and Vikram are learning Hindi for their Bollywood debuts, Vivek Oberoi comes to Kollywood already knowing Tamil. For More

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc.

Bollywood New Movie Slumdog Millionaire has definitely made the slums of Mumbai a little popular. Perhaps this is why they are so welcoming to every director who wants to make a film on their lifestyle. John Abraham’s fortcoming film Hook Ya Crook is also one of those films shot in the Chikalwadi Chawl of Mumbai. This film is directed by David Dhawan and John Abraham playes a cricketer who resides in the chawl. In a song John and Genelia D’Souza dance to a tapori-ish number with the typical tapori dance steps. The residents of the slum were delighted to see the stars around and cheered for the unit as they worked. John Abraham added to their delight by giving them autographs and taking pictures with them.
