Hidden deep within the folds of our universe is a secret as ancient as time itself. A secret, which if unraveled, would bring about the end of the world. Only one man today can protect this secret and save us from total destruction.Drona: The warrior. He who shall protect the eternal circle of life and death.
Far away in a distant town, there was once a young man named Aditya, Brought up by a foster family, Adita was unaware of his real identity and the destiny that awaited him. Ever since he was a child, a recurring nightmare haunted him. And when he woke up in fright, there was no one he could ever hold on to except for a magical BlueCross petal that came wafting in the wind, never failing to make him smile through his tears.
Somewhere far from here, an evil sorcerer, Riz Raizada, a descendant of the asuras (legendary demons) had become dangerously impatient, in his thirst for the precious secret. The secret, which was the missing link, in this grand plan of taking over the universe. To get to the secret, he'd have to defeat the Drona. And herein, lay his problem. He didn't know who or where the Drona was!
One sudden day Aditya and Riz came face to face and Riz immediately recognized him as the Drona. Aditya's destiny had caught up with him and his life was about to take him on a journey he had never imagined.Aditya couldn't comprehend why Riz's men were hunting him down. Just when he was about to be captured, a cult that believed that The Drona was their Messiah came to his rescue.
Sonia, the leader of the cult, revealed Aditya's real identify to him. Baffled, Aditya found it all too hard to believe. Having no time to lose, Sonia decided to take Aditya back to his place of birth, the ancient kingdom of Pratapgarh where his mother, Queen Jayanti Devi would have all the answers to his questions. But before he could embrace his mother, Riz and his army of the darkest powers caught up with him.Aditya would now have to rise to the occasion and embrace his destiny. For the sake of mankind he would have to become the legendary warrior he was born to be. Drona.Thus began Drona's journey through myths and legends.
Along with Sonia, he would fight the evil spells of the absolutely lethal Riz Raizada. By battling odds, he would discover skills that he never knew he had. But would his fears catch up with him? Would the nightmares from his childhood come in the way of his epic journey?As good and evil clash in this contemporary fantasy fable, a breathtaking adventure beckons you into a world of mythic heroes and malicious magicians, of enchanted lands and life altering choices, of cunning curses and absolute innocence.
The magnificent world of Drona
UPDATE: The film is slated to be the main attraction this EID, but how big is it really going to be? Ask Bachchan junior and he would claim it is his biggest yet and is all excited about it working, atleast for good buddy Goldie Behl's sake (Indiafm).
Abhishek also another major reason to be proud of. This marks the first time he shall be acting opposite his mother Jaya Bachchan onscreen.
But also interesting is to note that the movie DRONA is going to fight it out this Eid shall be KIDNAP. KIDNAP by the way is director Sanjay Gadhvi's first flick after the DHOOM series, which has been one of the biggest franchise of Abhisheks career.
MoviemagiK-ill thoughts :
So Abhishek looks to be in danger. First of all he has never been the superhero material. And to make things worse, if that is his battle costume, then Drona needs all the luck in the world!
The real reason is that Abhishek is pitted against Kay Kay. Give him an atrocious look, horrendous lines, but Kay Kay is the talent that can easily eat up an Abhishek any day. And that is what looks like what we can expect. Kay Kay stood his own in front of papa Bachchan in movies like DEEWAR and SARKAR. Tho beta kya cheez hai?
The special effects that have been splashed across from the promos does not impress. The MUMMY -inspiration really does not help its cause either .
Inspite of all these, you still garner hopes for this project, only to be washed away when Goldie Behl claims that the film is emotional and sure to make you cry! What a way to promote an action hero!
PANEL ROOM e-valuates
The reviews are pouring in and certainly it does not look good at all. Disastrous seems to be the buzz going around...which spells out DOOM for Abhishek Bachchan and Goldie Behl.
And while Drona falls short of being an irresistible experience, it sure had the makings of one. REDIFF 2.5/5
DRONA is a big film in all respects -- big stars, big canvas, big expenditure on SFX, big ad spend, big expectations. Sadly, it's a big, big, big letdown as well. INDIAFM 1.5/5
The outcome isn’t half as emotionally appealing as the effort that may have gone into it. MUMBAIMIRROR 1/5
Like it or not, Drona is artless, arrogant, brazenly derivative and terribly acted by one and all HINDUSTANTIMES 1/5
Alas, it's a fantasy film without any of the fun and excitement that ought to go with it. IBNLIVE 1/5
