The Ashram

Yeah story line and script was not that very good.

But, Movie Makers have done a great job in making.

Was a good reach to Yoga, Mysticism and Spirituality.

However India has not even touched this wonderful concept of their own heritage which can be greatly remarkable. Actually, It is not sci-fi.

Indian Makers should learn from these Makers.

The first half of the movie was a bit mysterious, it kept me interested but without being thrilled. And from then on it's all going downwards. The acting was sometimes poor even though the actors are known for better. The story is just plain boring at one point, even laughable. All that spiritual crap is too stupid for words. I wonder if people that are into spiritualism will like this movie because it isn't great. The special effects and CGI's could have saved this movie, or at least made it a little bit better, but there it's where it even get worse. It looked like a sixteen year old did it behind his computer on a day he was bored and had nothing else to do. The Ashram is just not a good movie, even not for spiritual people.

Solid 7...

I was actually pretty sceptical going in...but this was a film that didn't cliché out like I expected it to, to its credit, and I ended up enjoying it. It's a bit melodramatic in places, but it's just the right side of 'not too saccharine-sweet'. On a fairly under-developed topic too, in cinematic terms.

The visuals and soundtrack are a big part of the overall score. The stunning scenery in this film, while only being backdrop, really made me want to go back to the Himalayas. Even getting robbed by the taxi-bike guy was like a rose-tinted Indian tourist promo... albeit one where the moral of the story is either, "don't over-tip the baba" or "don't flash your wad of tourist cash in public"...possibly both. Take note, fellow travellers...

The sound track is great. I actually initially came here just to check whether the final track was Nitin Sawhny or not, but decided it was worth adding a review, since there aren't too many at this point.

It's definitely a romance/fantasy/sci-fi blend, so a bit smooshy overall, but it's nice to see the Buddhists getting a look in with the hollywood treatment, but without the obligatory "kung-fu shenanigans" - for a change.

Pretty stupid overall and the Guruji looks very much like Osho which tells you a lot about why this film is made. It's unbelievable they got some amazing actors in this and none of them has anything to do. It did keep me intrigued for some time but it gets more and more stupid as it goes on. West doesn't have really any idea what exactly Indian spirituality is and there are a lot of versions that get mixed up here, it's all a scam anyway the least these filmmakers could do was be compatible as these scammers in making you believe in it. The visual effects and editing are the parts that could have actually made an impact in a lot of scenes, alas those are also done very poorly.

There should be a Limit of advertising. Every 5 seconds banner advertising at bottom of the screen. When you have launched series on such OTT which doesnt support smart tv. Then atleast make sure they don't give stupid add in centre of the screen or buttom of the screen. I kept closing ads it's keep popping up. I had to close the series itself. What a shame. Nothing to do with series I was liking the first 10 mins. But couldn't watch further.
