Drona review

TeluguSirulu rating: * __ Avoidable (1star) but if u want to see Priyamani then **___ Watchable (2 stars)

Tagline: Drona - tv serial ki ekkuva movie ki takkuva

Strengths: Hot and sexy Priyamani

Weaknesses: Story, screenplay and direction

Mistakes in the movie:

1. When Drona runs away from house they live in Vijayawada, but when he returns after 10 years the family lives in Vizag which is not explained. Even if we take it as transfer for Mukesh Rishi then how did Nitin know about the transfer who just returned from a far off island after 10 years.

2. How did an young kid of 10 years know about loading and unloading of police revolver or gun.

3. Police Officer Mukesh Rishi sitting at home and watching tv when shops in his city are being robbed.

4. Kelly Dorge leaving Nitin’s mother when they are searching for him and see him in Vizag. They could have used her inorder to catch Nitin.

5. Nitin and his friend hide all the jewelery in an unknown island but in the climax the villans take his friend to a place in Vizag inorder to get back the jewels.

6. The big den of villan on the island not being identified by Police for 10 long years.

7. Nitin and 2 of his friends rob the most famous Nizam jewellery in a highly sofistigated manner but are never given training on any electronic gadgets.

8. During the robbery, Nitin passes through one of the laser rays but neither it effects Nitin nor it rings any alaram though his friend who is guiding him shouts “oh no”.

9. Nitin entry fight in the movie is more like a video game than a fight.

10. Seetha who suffers from joint pains runs like hell when she and her son are chased by villans.

Entertainment in the movie:

Venu Madhav taking the get up of Pasupathi (Sonu Sood) of Arundhathi movie and making a spoof of the movie like he did the spoof of Aparichithudu movie in Chatrapathi movie. He also re-lives the role of ‘Nalla Balu’ which he did in Sye movie.




My analysis: Drona movie is a complete waste of time. It doesn’t have neither a proper story nor screenplay nor direction. Drona on the whole is more like a tv serial where the story doesn’t move much even after lot of episodes.

Drona has lot of emotional scenes which are overacted by the actors and which doesn’t create any emotion in the audience. Drona also has a lot of action scenes which are filled with unnecessary graphics. Finally Drona movie is tv serial ki ekkuva movie ki takkuva.

Director Karuna Kumar thanked his guru SS Rajamouli for his direction training in the begining of this movie. He also named the movie Drona making himself as Arjuna and SS Rajamouli as Dronacharya who made Arjuna the greatest warrior in Indian mythology. If Karuna Kumar is Arjuna and Rajamouli is Drona then Drona movie is a very very bad dedication to the great director teacher who changed heroes to stars and who also doesn’t have any flops till now in his career.

Story: Meenakshi (Sita) and police officer Manohar (Mukesh Rishi) has a 10 year old son Drona whom they love to the maximum. Due to a small mis-understanding between father and son, young Drona runs away from home. He comes back to them after 10 years as grown up Drona (Nitin) after robbing the Nizam’s jewels in Mysore. He doesn’t reveal to them that he is their son until Priyamani who loves Drona tells them. Why didn’t he tell his true identity to his parents, what did he do in the last 10 years and why did he rob the jewellery forms the remaining part of the story.
