Breakthrough in Indian cinema!, 22 March 2004
10/10
Author: AishFan from Santa Clara, CA, US

This movie is a breakthrough in Indian cinema!!! For the first time, I have seen such an intelligently made Hindi movie. The team of the movie most definitely did a tremendous amount of research in Hindu mythology, archaeology, biology/anatomy, genetics, Einstein's theories, and on and on. What mesmerized me the most is that this mythological/sci-fi fare is actually quite possible, which is very frightening. The depth of the interesting concepts was jaw-dropping. I particularly found the comparison of God/Brahman to a Divine Internet very fascinating. The cast, with their innovative costumes and get-ups, helped give a fresh look to the film. The sets, including an archaeological site, a science lab, a humble home, ancient caves, and a multi-dimensional "matrix" gave this movie a completely fresh feel. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy gave a fantastic score that keeps the feel of the film intact. The songs were also picturized magnificently. Everyone gave a great performance. Special effects were cool but not very convincing, but it's a good amount and quality when looked at the humble budget of the movie. I applaud the intelligent makers of this film that absolutely left me spellbound!
