Durgamati: The Myth

Bhumi Pedenkar should be appreciated for trying something different but she has failed utterly. This is because Anushka Shetty was much much better for the role. Some roles can't be remade again. Also the voice syncing was very bad. Arshad Warsi, please do web series as they will get to know your true potential.

This film has nothing new to offer,Bollywood has officially lost all of its creativity.They just want to copy South movies and make money.Bhagmati is already a very hit and popular movie, almost everybody has seen it then why remake it and bhumi failed to copy the charm of anushka.. Looks like Bollywood not giving us any original movies soon

The major drawback of a remake movie is the comparison with the original one. Durgamati which is a cut & paste of Anushka Shetty starrer Bhaagamathie also suffers from the same. For those who haven't watched Bhaagamathie, this remake might come across as a surprise.

The movie is engaging in bits & pieces, the political angle is well executed but falters in the horror sequences. G. Ashok's Bollywood directorial debut is simple and pretty much average. Few scenes and unpredictable twists in the second half will surely hold the interest of viewers.

Despite the weak script, Bhumi Pednekar tried hard to excel in her performance but in comparison to Anushka Shetty's impeccable act in Bhaagamathie, Bhumi's performance looks dull. The makers also fail to do justice to the potential supporting casts, their performances are let down by a monotonous screenplay.

Cinematography is impressive, certain scenes are beautifully shot. Unnikrishnan P P's editing could have been better.

Worst remake. Waste of time. Could have done better. Not at all entertaining.

Remakes have become a new normal today in the Hindi film industry. Just shows how incapable are the film-makers of today, just can't get something original out of their experience that they hold of many years .. Senior citizens occupying the actors seat & new talent mistreated for satisfying their bloated egos .. it's time these so called oldies make way for new actors .. !!! Performances are equally bad, not at all entertaining.
