Drona - Wogma Readers Reviews
Drona
quick review:
It could have been a good, entertaining story for kids, enjoyable by adults equally, but over-dramatization claims another victim.

I am glad that Kay Kay Menon is finally getting his due.
BTW, it would be interesting if somebody comes up with the hit ratio of mega-budget films.
Shashi, whether or not Kay Kay Menon has found his due, we'll know only after we've seen the movie, right? Interesting question about the hit ratio, will see if I can set something up in the changes we are planning.
Wow, a 90cr movie not releasing in any major cinema halls of Delhi (PVR). Money probably going down the drain.
That is strange, Rohan!
Why wont it release in PVR cinemas?
I don't get a good feeling about this one to be honest. Going by the promos etc, I think it'd turn out to be a dud. We'll wait to see what weightage my 'thinking' carries - I won't be watching it so perhaps others can fill me in?
On a different note, this review/comments above is plainly hilarious!
Hey Meetu....
The first thing I did today was to get on to www.withoutgivingthemovieaway.com and locate the review of Drona.. (and I see myself doing this fairly regulary , as and when a movie is released)
Thanks for the wonderful review and now I will wait for it to get uploaded on the net to catch it :)
Thanks......
Thanks Pankaj! Hmmm...piracy :(

Goldi Behl : This movie ll make u cry
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Ya this movie certainly made me cry and how..
Kidnap is another trash product. I was not surprised as in last few weeks some really good movies hit the market, so law of normalization follows..
I have already wasted 3 hrs of my life watching this movie ...now i feel sorry for myself for wasting another 5 mins in writing this review...well anyways...
Drona is a movie which i pray {by heart }
to b the last movie of Abhishekh Bachhan,
Hav u ever imagined of a superhero...who has stinky beard all over(to hide his "good looking???"face...everybody has seen in "Tera Jadoo Chal gaya"), and to that a tummy hidden by long [i]paushak[/i] ...and talking about fighting with swords in this world of sci-fi gadegts...what rubbish abhishek???
we know u r not at all a good actor...(though many in industry are making money inspite of the fact that they dont know the "A" of acting.)..but atleast they have some looks to boost about and "FOOL" the naive audience...not the case with u abhishekh bhai...
yesterday i met a panipuri wala ..u all will b "surprised"...he was better looking than abhishekh..i asked him,,why u dont try in film indutrty ..u can b a "Drona" too.
ohh then i remembered... his dad is not Big B yar...hahahaha
Now coming to the [i]actress[/i]...priyanka ..wat were u wearing in the movie.and those horrifying eyelashes,,,u made me "scared "yar.. i cud not sleep whole nite thinking of u..
Now to the [i]director[/i]...i wont say anything about him..he made me "Speechless"..i wud just like to remind u all his achievements in life..
1) achievement no..1 ..born in a family with film backgound(his father was a movie maker)
2) no.2..made a masterpiece.."Bus itna sa khwaab hai" ( see.. i still remember the name :D)
3)married to Sonali Bendre( ok ...we can consider it achievement..considerin the mismatch)
4) childhood friend of abhishekh..
5) n hence, got a chance to "direct" the "grestest " movie of the all time.."D D D D...Drona"
clap guys...clap for him
i mite look an exteremist..but friends i m reallly disappointed after seeing this movie
u all must hav seen "Dark Knight" recently..compare it with Drona,,,u wil all get my point.
Our film industry is turning out to b an industry were the resources are in the "wrong" hands..
Smaller countries like Iran..Thailand..make much better n sensible in far limited resources..i am not mentioning Hollywood('cause they are not far behind Bollywood in making Disasters in the name of Movie)
ha...one more point...why was it called Drona...they could have also named it as "Goldie" , "Ashok","Mangilal"...any nice name u can think of ......
Now...Meetu ..u said that this movie is made thinking of kids....i ask u to watch "FANCHAN" ( a thai movie)..if u hav time after seeing Drona..and all
anyway,,,,all the best to anyone who is planning to see this one ..."hope u get well soon"..(after seeing such a disaster)
i totally agree with prashant...bollywood can make just copy cat movies,,,,and if they make original product...it looks something like drona,,,
dont try original ...bollywood..if u need any foreign movie dvd i will giv ,,i hav many..but kindly dont make drona2...
Gustaki Maaf! Overall, I didn't think the movie was all that bad. The costumes were great, most of the SFX didn't look amateurish and the characters looked like they knew how to weild a sword in the fight sequences. It seemed like there wasn't too much effort put into the dialogue department but I guess Priyanka's sexy avatar and Abhishek's jaded look made up for it. I thought that Kay Kay was at his flamboyant best even though his protrayal of Riz had a strong undercurrent of Willy Wonka.
Drona did, however, have its moments that made me cringe. Like how it started with the whole Harry Potter hangover and never quite recovered from it. The songs seemed too "thrown in there for commercial value".
But... all in all it is an alright film if you want to escape into the realms of fantasy for a few hours.

Drona should get junk movie of the year award , i went for sleep during the movie.
If fantasy is what you want to watch then Hellboy's a better bet than Drona..simply loved that film..
