Rudraksh

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!

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 !!!.

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.

Okay, so we all know that this is the modern day interpretation of some obscure scripture. Yes, modern it is indeed, Bollywood style ofcourse: Where they think everyone in the west dresses like a hooker!

It starts with a scientist in minis and hot pants (!) investigating some healer who can absorb pain [rip off of The Green mile] of his subjects. Typical Bollywood style, girl fall falls for guy, and next scene we have the hip-shaking-on-the-streets...errrr I mean hip-shaking-on-the-ancient-temple [for this movie] sequence.

I guess all the scientists should go to Bombay to learn some raw hip moves.

Then out of no where, this evil guy jumps in, complete with his babe of a moll. We get to see Bollywood take on the Matrix with some terribly low-end results. Then you have lots of sankrit [what the hell is THAT now???] mumbo jumbo thrown in, and God I couldnt even bother watching the end.

This movie was a total mess. The director probably was on a high after his first flick played on people's cross border delusional fantasies and even managed to earn some much needed money, so he thought I might go a few steps ahead and totally 'revolutionise' the film making - yep! this guy truly seems to have global (if rather naive) aspirations :))!!. Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, they are not be realised with 'Rusraksh' - over the top dialogues, some hilarious [albeit unintended] situations and an obscure plot from some weird book about animals and snakes takes this movie down, and buries it deep down the pile of Z-grade trash flicks.

... 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
