Another pathetic movie from Sunny and Vivek The movie copies from several films and comes as a terrible masala mess
The first half is nothing great till Vivek decides to find out the truth but Sunny's intro is like a 80's Dharam film
The rest comedy scenes fail to make you laugh Even the entire Jackie angle fails to convince and the last half n hour is the worst part It's hilarious
Direction is bland Music is okay
Sunny Deol looks aged and wrinkled and does an okay job except when he goes loud Viveik overacts in comedy and is decent otherwise Sameera Reddy is a waste Jackie Shroff is convincing

This film had 4 decent things, they were: voiceover by Anil Kapoor, the animation segment of the Mahabharata, the mythology surrounding the Mahabharata and Karna, and the aerial shots of the landscape (not belonging to India). Rest everything was poor. They ripped off the story elements and whole scenes from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and The Rundown. The jokes were school-level bad and not at all funny, they were goofy really with unnecessary and out of place nods to Sunny Deol's father and his religion. The casting was poor, especially of the side characters. Songs were bad and really downgraded the little fun I was having while watching the movie. The score was too overbearing and the same couple of themes played throughout the whole movie.
The aerial shots were overutilized to death. After the end of each scene they were used and the same shots again and again. Editing was noob level with slow-motion done to death in fight scenes and off-putting cuts to the landscape shots in the middle of conversations. The tone of the movie jumped after every few scenes from emotional to funny to serious. Ten minutes after the death of Vivek Oberoi's father and his funeral I was watching a titillating dance number. The action was bad with bad guys flying after each punch and kick. Sunny Deol was literally a superhero, he was firing shotguns standing in front of the enemies, completely exposed, without getting shot at at least once. There were so many plot holes and logical inconsistencies in the story. Every hint was served to them, every puzzle was too easy to solve.
WASTE OF TIME.

Even 60s movies were better than this. A random song to promote it, some obviously unnecessary fillers to add flare but it sucks so bad even flares cant comprehend this movie. Uhhhh.
Yesterday i got the chance to view this movie. Name of the movie encouraged me a lot. I thought it would be a good adventure movie with some mystery involved. I i would like to appreciate the writer for thinking in a new way by concatenating adventure with mystery but he fails to write a realistic story and same happens in the direction part also. Through out the movie Director is not able to leave his mark. He would have covered the jungle and mountain in a different way by capturing some amazing location. we expect some good music from every Bollywod movie but here also Naksha fails completely. Through out the movie i was searching for the best part of the movie and sorry so say i couldn't found it. In coming future i would like to see some more Bollywod movies which try to think about some kind of good mixture of adventure and mystery with good direction.
Thanks

I had no intention of writing a review on this film but after reading the reviews written by others i was forced to do so. One of them said that the movie deals with trash mythology.Let me bring to the notice that the film has shown some amazing things about the Indian Heritage so you can take a hike. The movie is quite average and enjoyable.Few things in it is not acceptable like the scenes of Sunny Deol and Vivek Oberoi which was just copied from Welcome to the Jungle and also the action sequences like the jeep stunt, the shotgun sequence, and the fight with the dwarfs. It was just Cut and Paste. The story though was the same, but the actors had done quite well.Sameera Reddy was unnecessary. Jackie Shroff did a fairly good job and was acceptable. Hence, in all it was a film with too many songs, but enjoyable at the same time... Only a one time watch...
