Drona

A horrendously miscast Abhishek Bachchan is just one of many problems plaguing 'Drona'. It's apparent that the film's makers were so obsessed with grand locations and glitzy costumes that they forgot about the script. Many of the action sequences come across as poor rip-offs of Dhoom 2. Abhishek is a fine actor but he's clearly not right for the role. Priyanks Chopra is the only actor to emerge unscathed. Kay Kay is horribly over the top as the demonic villain. Too long to qualify even as a guilty pleasure, Drona is simply an example of inept film making. Avoid.

Overall 1/10

...because people will be questioning why they had wasted 2+ hours on this snooze-fest. It is the most boring movie to come out this year. Thank God for giving man the brain to invent the fastforward buttons. The film overuses slow-motions to the extent that even in fast forward mode, things move slowly. The action sequences are pathetically executed and the special effects are tacky (to say the least). Goldie Behl is clearly proving to be one of the worst directors. Abhishek Bachchan wears only two expressions: that of looking clueless and that of...well, to quote a friend, think of a child who just had his toy taken away after which his face reddens before throwing a tantrum. Yes, that's the title character. Jaya Bhadhuri looks as though she really dreaded being a part of the movie and only did it for baby Bachchan's (who's trying to look like a man) sake. Priyanka Thopra acts like a zombie. She's supposed to be this action heroine who wears no expression and does the occasional item-number type dance. The only reason why I bothered with 'Drona' was because of Kay Kay Menon who's one of my favourite actors. I did enjoy his over the top villain act but the character is too much of a caricature. But I'm still thankful for the fast forward button and if the slow motions were reduced to normal speed, the movie would have finished in a good 30-45 minutes...and it would still be boring as I have experienced. Plus, the songs deserve to be fast-forwarded too. The ridiculous ending promises a sequel but I hope the film bombs badly enough to avoid any further torture.

To those folks who haven't watched this movie....please do NOT watch this movie. The thing which i do not understand IS that why do Indian directors lack the vision and imagination required to make a fantasy movie!!! I can't even give the movie some credits for a nice attempt because a decent attempt would have resulted in the movie ten times better then this one!! ZERO IN ACTING...ZERO IN COSTUMES...ZERO IN ANIMATION..ZERO IN ORIGINALITY..and the sets look so artificial that even a 2 year old can tell the difference.

There should be an option of rating 0/10 on IMDb,b'cause this movie deserves a BIG 0.

After the failure of 2050 Love Story. I was expecting the directors in Bolloywood wouldn't dare repeating mistake. But this one, to amaze me, went beyond all the limits of flops.

Abhishek, could not act, as he must have forgotten or director had strict warning for him not to act. Lot of things in the movie has no direct or indirect link to the main story.

Priyanka Chopra, I pity her. She did same mistake after 2050. But never expected from Abhishek to act in such movie. Well, everyone makes mistake. This was big mistake though.

I heard, The villain was overspent for appearance. But seriously it was the worst role he must have done. Too much over acting and too much non-sense.

Dare not watch alone.

I totally disagree with the earlier comment made about the movie. I think its probably by one of the movie promoters. Drona is easily one of the worst movies in Indian history. I would never downgrade a movie but in this instance I feel obliged to save other people from watching an awfully terrible movie that lacks originality. From Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings to Heath Ledger role in Batman. They have copied everything and in the end come up with the worst movie. Even the music is pain to the ears, the location crap, the computer graphics too fake, the costumes a shame to the Indian film industry and finally an acting worst than first time auditions.
