Eklavya - The Royal Guard |
Overall, it's a film with a 30-minute short story that's been stretched over an hour and a half.
The dialogues (sync sound) are not audible in places. The climax is a major letdown. What really hold the film together are the breathtaking visuals, courtesy cinematographer Natarajan Subramaniam, and Tinu Verma's stunts. The visuals are brilliant. But to give credit to the maker, the shot taking is superb.
A few scenes really stand out; the ghungroo sequence, the sequence in which Boman Irani is shot dead, the killings of ----- (names blanked out).
The box office fate of the film seems a little dicey. What might help the film is the dry films that released over the past two weeks. Let's wait and watch.
