Review of Rudraksh

Rudraksh (2004)
1/10
Saturday Night Fever meets Indian Myth (may have a tiny spoiler)
12 July 2005
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is proof that even the most interesting concept can be destroyed and made into an (unintentional) comedy by a crass producer.

Not even Roger Corman would take a story about the destruction of the world by demons and cast Baywatch-type babes as scientists or have recurring dance numbers breaking out between "dramatic" scenes of murder and mayhem. The sets are so incredibly CHEESY, the wigs and fake beards so obvious, the babes so "Pamela Anderson", I started thinking it was intended as a comedy... but NOOOOOOO- it's meant to be serious.

In the "Final Battle" the Evil Demon, (Sunil Shetty) is dressed like John Travolta in Saturday NIGHT FEVER. He multiplies into more "disco dancers"-- one of them in a pale blue suit(!!!!)

IDEA: Someone do a remake as Woody Allen did in "WHAT'S UP TIGER LILY". Make it into the comedy it was never intended to be, but should be!

I felt sorry for Sanjay Dutt, who played Varun. He's a serious actor and deserves better. I hope he got paid big bucks for that humiliating experience.
