Rudraksh

... now i've seen it all.

This is no doubt one of the worst movies in existence... the plot is the worst crap ever cooked up by any bird brained scriptwriter. The same must be said of every other person who had anything to do with the movie. I was completely unhinged for a couple of hours after watching this movie. Right in between the innovatively $H!t lines to corny scenes between the leads, lies the plot...

a monkey typing away at random would come up with a plot good enough to beat the $H!t out of this...

The saving grace for the movie is the fact that it is so very bad that you might actually enjoy tearing it to pieces.

To finish ... it is a movie i would wish my very worst enemy to watch , strapped in a chair, with eyes fixed open ... right to the very end

I think the director and writer for this film did not see eye to eye. If they did, they would have known that they had a very good idea, which they poorly executed. With a script like this, you need a big budget to fulfill your dreams. Come on! we are in the 21st century! and you are making a science fiction film like we are back in the 1950s or worse! The script was solid, the actors were wasted, and there was only little the audience could do to suspend their disbelief! Better luck next time. See this film only if you are in the mood for mediocre stuff that might put you to sleep, or send you jumping off a bridge! It such a shame to see such a talented star cast go to waste!

Happened to see "Rudraksha"...looks like the very first main stream Hindi movie that deals with the chakras, the power of Rudrakshas, powers of the divine - presented in a very non-descript commercialized fashion. Takes the mantra tantra mythology etc etc in a matter of fact manner, and runs with the plot - lots of shlokas and mantras are the background score and movie producers/directors seem to be followers of Lord Shiva. Story line is the battle of good over evil but lots of techno-glitz and special effects, something there for everyone, catered to the masses. Movie starts at a point that is connected to the Great Lanka War (Ramayana), seemingly inspired from Indiana Jones. Seeks to portray divinity in a very different light, in comparison to the traditional Indian movies...very differently to a point where it might not be acceptable to some.. I think this might very well lead to a resurgence of the populace to pursue the divine. (haven't finished watching it).

If you are mildly curious, might be worth a see.

Okay, so we all know that this is the modern day interpretation of some obscure scripture. Yes, modern it is indeed, Bollywood style ofcourse: Where they think everyone in the west dresses like a hooker!

It starts with a scientist in minis and hot pants (!) investigating some healer who can absorb pain [rip off of The Green mile] of his subjects. Typical Bollywood style, girl fall falls for guy, and next scene we have the hip-shaking-on-the-streets...errrr I mean hip-shaking-on-the-ancient-temple [for this movie] sequence.

I guess all the scientists should go to Bombay to learn some raw hip moves.

Then out of no where, this evil guy jumps in, complete with his babe of a moll. We get to see Bollywood take on the Matrix with some terribly low-end results. Then you have lots of sankrit [what the hell is THAT now???] mumbo jumbo thrown in, and God I couldnt even bother watching the end.

This movie was a total mess. The director probably was on a high after his first flick played on people's cross border delusional fantasies and even managed to earn some much needed money, so he thought I might go a few steps ahead and totally 'revolutionise' the film making - yep! this guy truly seems to have global (if rather naive) aspirations :))!!. Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, they are not be realised with 'Rusraksh' - over the top dialogues, some hilarious [albeit unintended] situations and an obscure plot from some weird book about animals and snakes takes this movie down, and buries it deep down the pile of Z-grade trash flicks.

Such a great idea, but the execution ruined everything. Why can't the film makers wait for a script, technology, resources which do justice to the idea?
