Most Bakawas Movie of the Year, 5 October 2008
1/10
Author: Jignesh Vaidya from India

This is definitely most boring movie I have seen till date. Though Bachchans are having legendary status as far as acting is concern,but they don't have eye for good script,often miscalculate the effect of script, Drona -very good example of misjudgment by Bachchans.It is said that each and every movie signed by Abhishek first approved by his parents(Amitabh&Jaya).On paper story looks interesting,thrilling,action-packed but on screen its just opposite.

Only positive point in movie is Priyanka Chopra,she leaves her mark by strong performance.In acting Abhishek is very poor as alwayes. For Abhishek acting means blank face with minimal or no dialogs(I think he learned that from Ramgopal Varma in SARKAR). Yet he has to learn the facial expression in front of camera.

Its better to watch "Krissh" forth or fifth time than wasting money,mood & weekend on Drona
