Drona

Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Kay Kay Menon, Jaya Bachchan, Akhilendra Mishra, Master Veer Arya

On the whole, DRONA lacks soul. At the box-office, the publicity blitzkrieg might ensure good returns in its opening 4-day weekend, but the cracks should start appearing sooner than expected, since the film fails to keep you hooked. Its fall is imminent! Read More

Drona keeps repeating his primary concern through the film saying, "humey shrishti ko bachna hoga". There's an implausible pun involved therein as I realized that the producer of this film is called Shrishti Arya. Evidently Drona's outcome is rona. Read More

Jaya Bachchan is grace personified. The only regret is, she gets less footage. Abhishek does very well. He plays his part most convincingly. Priyanka's introduction is fantastic, but her Babuji kehte hain dialogue gets on your nerves after a point. Kay Kay fails to impress. Navneet Nishan hams. Read More

On the whole, Goldie Behl's attempt to keep it interesting is conspicuous even if not brilliantly executed. And while Drona falls short of being an irresistible experience, it sure had the makings of one. Read More

DRONA is Abhishek Bachchan. For the first half of the movie the director is getting him to realise who he is; during the latter part of the second half, he realises who he is. And towards the end, he accomplishes what he is supposed to be by eliminating big bad Riz Raizada (Kay Kay Menon). Read More

Consequently, 'Drona' ends up a boring, botched-up, soulless film with below-average music and sub-standard performances. Read More

Quest stories tend to have a prescribed form – a departure, an initiation and a return as suggested by Joseph Campbell – a scholar of mythology. These are the stages that Drona too seems to go through. The high points in each could have logically been underscored or highlighted with a song. Read More

Taking its root from Indian mythology, Drona had the scope and the command to become a great superhero but unfortunately disappoints. Special effects were wonderful but lost its charm in this irrational film. Read More

Yet, Goldie has executed two sequences with style. In fact, these two sequences stand out like an oasis in a desert. The first, when Kay Kay turns Jaya Bachchan into a statue. The second, the train sequence. Awe-inspiring sequences! Read More

The movie centers on a young man named Aditya played by Abhishek Bachchan. Aditya is unaware of his real identity and the destiny that awaits him. Ever since he was a child, a recurring nightmare haunted him. Read More
