Rudraksh

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.

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!

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?

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.

I think the movie was made with a limited budget, since the wigs are shared by Sunil Shetty and Sanjay Dutt,no expenses were incurred for hairdressers. There are few extras running around with boxes with Apple insignia on them which are set to motion by the command of a seductive Doctor Gayathri (played by none other than the Bengali Bardot, Bipasha Basu) who tries to scan the inner workings of Varun. This Casting seems to be direct result of her quest for "meaningfull roles" as compared to roles where ice cubes are used to arouse her senses (Jism).Here a non-touch massage technique is used by Varun (her facial expression seem to indicate that the results were the same as the ice cube). Varun (played by Sanjay Dutt),an accomplished actor, somehow goes around giving an impression that he has not been paid for this particular assignment or he has totally given up his hopes on the Awards for the time being), and he seems to take it on Buran? (played by Sunil Shetty).Then there these Desi characters who are speaking in English and American characters talking in Desi and as far as subtitling of tentacals: good day !!!.
