Rudraksh

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!

It may be tempting for someone to watch Rudraksh,because it has a top starcast,is said to have Matrix-like special effects,action,etc. etc. But believe me,it's not worth.Not even a bit comparable to the Hollywood thriller. The long and short story-a supernatural story,about a fight between evil and good. Talents of a veteran actor like Sanjay Dutt are simply wasted in this circus of a film. Suniel Shetty is the same as in his other films.

Two ladies with no better work keep moving around the two main characters. Music is unremarkable.The villain also dances and pretends to play piano in this film!

Even if you have no better work, you shouldn't watch 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

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.

A long time after watching Rudraksh, I saw a movie titled Munna Bhai MBBS. I was quite surprised how a simple story line can be made into spectacular movie. Enter Rudraksha, learn how to f**k up a spectacular storyline, totally unseen concept in Hindi movies into a disaster. My friend forced me and took me to this movie's first day first night show and we repented a lot later.

As of 2010, I have never seen any Hindi movie, who has such original storyline. I felt hurt that they spent all the money into turning it into a piece of crap. They could have donated that money to UNICEF or The Venus Project, at least it could be useful for building a good social environment. If the movie could have been made as original and as spectacular as story line, it could have changed the way people think about Hindi movie industry.
