The Ashram

If you believe in Spiritualism and higher things this film will be right up your street.

Good acting and a nice little story with some breathtaking CGI scenery. I would describe it more of a Fantasy Romance than Scifi. Its a small scale production with a big heart and deserves a view if you want more than action , CGI and thrills but want to ponder on the transcendence of the human condition and the marvels of the cosmos and the natural world.

Alternatively , if you are female you will appreciate the romance story and I did too but then again I am a bit of a big girls blouse when it comes to lost love and kindred spirits - A fine little movie that will move your heart and soul just a little which isnt bad in this day and age of crash , bang , wallop movies.

A nice film exposing the self proclaimed gods who in reality are white collar thieves

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.

This movie is deserves no more than 3*. Predictable and entirely boring storyline, awful acting and the special effects look like they were done on windows movie maker...

Even though naive and predictable at some points, still paints an unique twist on a star crossed lovers, and contributes to the spiritualistic movement.
