Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Kay Kay Menon, Akhilendra Mishra








Big wind, loud thunder, no rain! This in short describes Goldie Behl's DRONA
the best. The film drags, over two continents, and how! It can be best described
as a costume drama. The producers might
have spent huge monies to get the
costumes and sets in place, not to forget the special effects,
which are very,
very good. But what is the use of special effects and good costumes if there
is no script? DRONA lost the battle at the writing table itself.

To quote the makers, ''DRONA is rooted in the vibrant tapestry of
Indian mythology. DRONA is the compelling modern tale of one man's
spectacular voyage through the labyrinths of mystic myths and legendary legacies.
It is a journey that will force him to face his fears and make him the hero he
was born to become.''

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).


DRONA also has Priyanka Copra as Sonia, his bodyguard. One look at
Priyanka and you want to give a hug to make-up artist Mickey Contractor
who has done a fabulous job. Priyanka looks gorgeous. Will Madhur Bhandarkar
be able to go one up on DRONA as far as her look is concerned in FASHION?
That is for another review!

The huge hype will pull in the crowds, but it will be another task to keep
them in during the course of the movie.

You go back with just one thought after watching DRONA, a colossal waste!

Rating - 1/5
