The Legend of Drona

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.

firstly I would like to recommend IMDb- the site to have separate rating scheme, where films such as this can be rated in negatives.

my plot -

On an unfortunate evening, I decided to watch DRONA. God what wrong had I done for you to not stop me? Well as fate would have it I went ahead and bought a ticket for this master piece of a film. To make it worse i made a friend of mine to travel 4 hrs in traffic to come and watch this movie with me.

we went in with no expectations. i don't like to go cinemas with a fixed head. i like to let the film surprise me... and yes it did...

Fortunately I missed the first 5mins of the film. The film began with terrible blue petal flying into a house, a stupid kid fooling around with it and an uncle who only has a cameo of few seconds. Of course you remember the spider-man and his old man. this uncle does not say much and gladly dies soon without any significance of any kind. Cruel aunt and mean cousin brother are incharge of Drona's life. Priyanaka Chopra is secretly protecting the so-called protector of the universe.

One day and damn foolish magician finds that DRONA is alive and he has the access to ELXIR. But before the magician can find Drona... Drona has to find himself? how philosophical? he figures out that he is a prince of some ruined land in India and he has a mother who is dressed distastefully as it can be. He father died of getting drowned and he is now responsible of saving the elixir from getting into wrong hands..

The magician comes and exploits the maa beta angle. the Drona decides to give him the elixir for the life of his mom. now how brave is it ?

and then a whole lot of confusing and frustrating events happen. in the end Drona kills the villain.... are we expected to be surprised???

Acting was the worst... i think AB Jr can take acting coaching from Himesh. Priyanaka, looked neither hot sexy or ugly... KK... poor him.

In all the film is a total humiliation of the audiences. Making movies such as this film should be considered terrorism.

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

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.

This is definitely most boring movie I have seen till date. Though Bachchans are having legendary status as far as acting is concern,but they don't have eye for good script,often miscalculate the effect of script, Drona -very good example of misjudgment by Bachchans.It is said that each and every movie signed by Abhishek first approved by his parents(Amitabh&Jaya).On paper story looks interesting,thrilling,action-packed but on screen its just opposite.

Only positive point in movie is Priyanka Chopra,she leaves her mark by strong performance.In acting Abhishek is very poor as alwayes. For Abhishek acting means blank face with minimal or no dialogs(I think he learned that from Ramgopal Varma in SARKAR). Yet he has to learn the facial expression in front of camera.

Its better to watch "Krissh" forth or fifth time than wasting money,mood & weekend on Drona
