रुद्राक्ष

... now i've seen it all.

This is no doubt one of the worst movies in existence... the plot is the worst crap ever cooked up by any bird brained scriptwriter. The same must be said of every other person who had anything to do with the movie. I was completely unhinged for a couple of hours after watching this movie. Right in between the innovatively $H!t lines to corny scenes between the leads, lies the plot...

a monkey typing away at random would come up with a plot good enough to beat the $H!t out of this...

The saving grace for the movie is the fact that it is so very bad that you might actually enjoy tearing it to pieces.

To finish ... it is a movie i would wish my very worst enemy to watch , strapped in a chair, with eyes fixed open ... right to the very end

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.

Happened to see "Rudraksha"...looks like the very first main stream Hindi movie that deals with the chakras, the power of Rudrakshas, powers of the divine - presented in a very non-descript commercialized fashion. Takes the mantra tantra mythology etc etc in a matter of fact manner, and runs with the plot - lots of shlokas and mantras are the background score and movie producers/directors seem to be followers of Lord Shiva. Story line is the battle of good over evil but lots of techno-glitz and special effects, something there for everyone, catered to the masses. Movie starts at a point that is connected to the Great Lanka War (Ramayana), seemingly inspired from Indiana Jones. Seeks to portray divinity in a very different light, in comparison to the traditional Indian movies...very differently to a point where it might not be acceptable to some.. I think this might very well lead to a resurgence of the populace to pursue the divine. (haven't finished watching it).

If you are mildly curious, might be worth a see.

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.

This movie was thought provoking in many ways. First of all... one wonders when bollywood actors may learn to tone their "acting" down a little. Secondly, people living in the west are not always dressed for a rave! Third... oh what the heck! This movie could have been interesting and entertaining. I am glad to see that bollywood is taking interest in tech-savvy sci-fi like movies. But this was a disaster! The plot is like swiss cheese - full of holes, but the plot was never bollywood's strong point anyway. The acting was pretty bad, another one I can forgive. The special effects are getting better, still no cookies! But for god's sake, why was the action so aweful? The fights were disgusting! I mean... several decades of movies with the song-dance-fighting formula results in this travesty? The dances for that matter were re-hashed re-hashes of old recycled trash copied millions of times over from Brittney and Christina videos, and done badly!

My time was pretty much wasted as I sat there yawning... and I am not a regular Bollywood bashing snob either. I haven't seen too many of the recent releases. However, I have seen Samay which I thought was a thousand times better than this garbage.
