A pleasant surprise, 25 November 2005
8/10
Author: gothgarg

After being told many times that the movie was crap, I decided to have a go at it, well prepared for the worst. But I was pleasantly surprised to find I did not find the movie bad at all! It is rare to find decent sci-fi quality in Bollywood movies. This movie fills that void. Agreed, it may not be upto current Hollywood sci-fi standards, but its a step forward for Bollywood. Agreed also, that the story may have twisted the epic (Ramaayan) that it is based on, which could only have augured unwelcome to Indian sensibility for having touched a sacred mythology, but creativity should be welcome. After all, nothing obscene was suggested or dis-respect accorded to the epic. The storyline is about events eons after the downfall of the Asur Dark Lord Raavan, vanquished by Sri Raam. A chance archaeological find bestows some powers to our corrupt villain (Sunil Shetty) - who is then tempted to the dark side and seeks to bring the days of Asuras back to the middle kingdom - Earth. But in true eastern Yin-yang/Rajas-Tamas tradition, every extreme on one side implies existence of an extreme on the other side. Our hero (Sanjay Dutt) gets the powers of the opposite side and as expected, good wins over evil. All in all, a decent fanfare. CGI was a bit drawn-out, but well done. Kudos to the team.
