Featured reviews
While the storyline is quite good, the presentation lacks the zing required for a modern Cinema experience largely. Visuals of the Brazil landscape are the main attraction, but has been underplayed.
Anaconda scene, ElDorado scenes could have been longer and more spectacular.
Dialogues delivery is much too slow, deliberate and uninteresting across the board.
Unnecessary scenes are too lengthy. Hotel scenes should have been a minimum, while adventure in Amazon Forest, ElDorado should have been emphasized.
Does the director really have to spend so much time on characters introducing themselves to each other, painfully slowly. Who does that in real life ?!

First 45 min is boring as hell. I think holographic conversation, finding diary, Suitcase of Biswas these were overstretched and unnecessary.
It is somewhat good after that.

Unbelievable poor script and story dampens the enthusiasm of a Shonku fan.
The movie looks like a documentary and less of a movie.
The adventure movie doesnt build up pace even midway and fails to keep the audience interested.
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.

This was a tough one takes guts for a regional director to take the risk.
Good acting clean direction with some flaws.
Being a Shonku fan I am happy
