India film about a brilliant inventor who visits Brazil and deals with an unscrupulous man. Slow-moving and without much purpose but story-telling entertainment. A couple of decent plot twists, and that's about it for anything notable.
The actors play their parts well enough. I found the characters interesting in the portrayal, but not in development. They aren't exactly 2D characters, but not much fleshed out either. Still, the acting is likely the most interesting thing in this film. (The scenery is nice in places, as would be expected. Just not much of it.)
This is basic story-telling, and rather slow-moving at that. The focus is on inter-character conversation rather than anything else. It can't be called "action-adventure" because (with the exception of one short scene involving flying arrows), there's simply not much action. As for adventure, the show never actually reaches a climax, and in the ending the movie just sort of ends (thud. Credits roll). So not much adventure to speak of.
So it's okay for spending an hour and a half on a rainy afternoon when you're bored silly... but not much value beyond that. It's not the worst movie ever made, nor does it by any means warrant 10 stars. It's just a mediocre piece of filmery (had to coin a word to describe it)... and not much more.
