Rudraksh (2004)
Thought Provoking... just not on the topic!
This movie was thought provoking in many ways. First of all... one wonders when bollywood actors may learn to tone their "acting" down a little. Secondly, people living in the west are not always dressed for a rave! Third... oh what the heck! This movie could have been interesting and entertaining. I am glad to see that bollywood is taking interest in tech-savvy sci-fi like movies. But this was a disaster! The plot is like swiss cheese - full of holes, but the plot was never bollywood's strong point anyway. The acting was pretty bad, another one I can forgive. The special effects are getting better, still no cookies! But for god's sake, why was the action so aweful? The fights were disgusting! I mean... several decades of movies with the song-dance-fighting formula results in this travesty? The dances for that matter were re-hashed re-hashes of old recycled trash copied millions of times over from Brittney and Christina videos, and done badly!
My time was pretty much wasted as I sat there yawning... and I am not a regular Bollywood bashing snob either. I haven't seen too many of the recent releases. However, I have seen Samay which I thought was a thousand times better than this garbage.
