Rudraksh

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?

This movie was thought provoking in many ways. First of all... one wonders when bollywood actors may learn to tone their "acting" down a little. Secondly, people living in the west are not always dressed for a rave! Third... oh what the heck! This movie could have been interesting and entertaining. I am glad to see that bollywood is taking interest in tech-savvy sci-fi like movies. But this was a disaster! The plot is like swiss cheese - full of holes, but the plot was never bollywood's strong point anyway. The acting was pretty bad, another one I can forgive. The special effects are getting better, still no cookies! But for god's sake, why was the action so aweful? The fights were disgusting! I mean... several decades of movies with the song-dance-fighting formula results in this travesty? The dances for that matter were re-hashed re-hashes of old recycled trash copied millions of times over from Brittney and Christina videos, and done badly!

My time was pretty much wasted as I sat there yawning... and I am not a regular Bollywood bashing snob either. I haven't seen too many of the recent releases. However, I have seen Samay which I thought was a thousand times better than this garbage.

I will give this film one piece of credit, it has attempted to break the mould in Indian cinema. But the quality of the film was so unbelievably poor, it deserves to rank in the utter depth of IMDb's ratings. Bollywood has the income to finance large products but they won't because of the greed that surrounds the industry. Hopefully another attempt will be made to try to create something original, and hopefully far better than this. This film was absolutely abysmal, appalling, and in certain parts made me cringe in disgust at the movie making. I feel ashamed that such low quality movies are made from my mother nation.

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.

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!
