Drona kabhi na Hona

October 3rd, 2008 · 4 Comments

Welcome to the sorriest superhero movie of our times. If you wish to waste you time, please google for ‘how to waste time’, than making plans for Goldie Behl’s directorial disaster. Promulgated as extraordinary, Drona is really no close to ordinary entertainment. The very reason that the Thursday release got some seats filled was maybe because of it’s heroic publicity and the star cast. But many left by the intermission, others started chatting about their daily chores. Children either started crying, or running around the theatre.

Drona kabhi na Hona

Drona is a superhero. A clichéd story, his powers unknown to him, one secret carefully camouflaged by the universe, blah blah. Until she enters the scene. Baujee’s very own Priyanka Chopra. Whats with Baujee? The only entertaining part was when Priyanka is persistent at saying, “Baujee kaha karte the..”. After every frame whenever she is wants to speak anything, she’d start as, “Baujee kaha karte the..”. Later it became so funny that the audience would start as, “Baujee…” before Priyanka’s every dialogue! :D

The superhero is a dimwit first, so we think, “now he’ll realize his powers”. After an hour we think again “now…”, by the end of the first half he declares, “guys, I’ve realized all that jazz”. After the interval, he still hasn’t realized his powers. By the end of the movie, I guess Goldie didn’t have a choice. But still, I don’t know how, the villain (KK Menon) wins! This is preposterous!

The special effects are so corny, reminds you the superhero movies of the 70s. At least there used to some originality in those times despite the limitations.

The only scene that could be still called ‘not bad’ - The train chase. Very nicely done, Goldie Behl should focus on movies devoted to action. Rather than making Dronas with scenes in the middle that take away your patience.

Priyanka is beautiful, but you will want to see her in better, more meaningful roles. Same goes for KK’s adroit expressiveness. I really have no comments for Abhishek and Jaya Bachchan. I think I’ve thrashed this movie enough, please don’t feel its due to any grudges, probably because the tickets were priced at 200.. ;)

Still, you can -

    It is hillarous! I must say, such disasters definitely provide laughter if not anything else to the spctators. And they alone can claim of public participation. Which good movie could boast of public joining the lead actress in dialog delivery like “Baoojee” in Drona? LOL!

    During the movie you sit and stare at the screen trying to make out if the scene is a thriller or to be laughed at..
    The unnecessary, random and bad songs had the audience groaning each time..
    Very disappointing performance by Abhishek..
    Prianka adds some spark to the screen, but that and some special effects are the only good things in this movie..
    Waste of time…

    @Badal: Dude you seriously have guts to go and see Drona …… like I did for Marigold. :D Considering you’ve thrashed the film so badly I won’t attempt to see it free of cost via torrents. :)
