Quite impressive movie on drums & life, 4 June 2009
8/10
Author: manoxa101 from Bangalore, India

I liked the movie a lot due to the kinda spiritual message or Buddhist philosophy that was eloquently conveyed throughout the movie. But much more than that, I truly enjoyed the beating of the drums and rehearsal scenes of the artistes in the movie. The way Jaycee Chan's character evolves gradually into a better being is conveyed impressively. Jaycee is a decent actor but I must say he looks blank in many scenes which required intense expression of emotion. One of those lesser known movies here in India which can be watched without any guilt. Maybe you might even become a calmer person or have a greater appreciation for the little things in life after watching this!
