Drona (2008) - Movie Review




Movie Name : Drona

Movie Cast : Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Kay Kay Menon and Jaya Bachchan

Movie Director : Goldie Behl

Music Director : Ashu Dhruv

Rating : 2 / 5


Director Goldie Bhel may be one of the best friends of Abhishek but his friendship is not doing any good for Jr. Bachchan as far as professional relationship is concerned. First he made a flop film like Bus Itna Sa Khwab Hai with Abhishek and to worsen things more now he has come up with a dud flick like Drona.

As every other superhero flick, Drona's story too deals with the fight between the good and the evil where Abhishek plays the super hero Drona, a savior of the world, and Kay Kay is seen portraying the character of the evil who wants to kill Drona in order to have his control over the whole world. In this otherwise boring flick, Priyanka Chopra's sensuality brings some relief. She plays the body guard to Drona.

There's nothing to talk about the direction as even an amateur director would have done a much much better job than what Goldie has done. I think he needs to assist some good director before trying his hands on any other project. God knows, what in the world inspired him to make a high budgeted movie like Drona.

The script also hasn't supported the poorly directed flick and even the characters are poorly sketched. Kay Kay's character is more clownish than devilish. Same goes with the main character of Drona. His strengths and power are not dealt with in detail which is so very important for a superhero flick.

Coming to the songs, which have no significance in the movie, are unbearable.

The only thing that stands out in Drona is the brilliant special effects, which are way ahead of Bollywood standards.

Performance wise too non of the actors have delivered in compared to their caliber. It can be rated as one of the worst flick Kay Kay has ever done. With his tummy, Mr. Abhishek doesn't at all fit into the costume of a superhero. Again it's only Priyanka who stands out of them all and that too only due to her sensuality and glamorous look. Jaya Bachchan has a very small role.

Overall, Drona could easily be placed a notch or two below some of the worst movies I have ever seen. I would never advice anyone to waste one's hard earned money to see this senseless film.
