‘Drona’ is not a super-hero film
 |
Another director who’s back after a sabbatical is Goldie Behl. There has been a substantial gap between his directorial debut BAS ITNA SA KHWAAB HAI and his second outing DRONA. “Two reasons,” Goldie spells out, “Nothing inspired me to start a film in the intervening period. Besides, I decided to dabble in television and establish my company.”
He gets into an introspective mood. “I was completely disillusioned. I took failure to my heart. But with the passage of time, I realized that one should never take failure to heart or success to head,” the soft-spoken director states.
Goldie penned a couple of scripts in the intervening period. “And also made 3 / 4 films in my mind,” he laughs. DRONA was ‘born’ after a lot of thinking and brainstorming sessions.
Now this is important: A lot of people feel that DRONA is a super-hero film, on the lines of Batman and Superman. Is it? “It’s not! It’s a modern-day fantasy adventure. Let me clarify, we haven’t copied the West or the East. It’s an original concept, very Indian at heart, a desi film, but presented in a contemporary format,” he divulges.
Please continue. “I’ve grown up on popular Indian cinema and having grown up in a family environment, you’ll see a lot of familial bonding in DRONA. The bonding between Jaya Aunty [Jaya Bachchan] and Abhishek on screen is terrific, it’s an extension of what they’re in real life. In fact, Jaya Aunty is the trump card of my film, the real USP. And as a director, I must add that it’s one of her finest works ever,” Goldie states with all humility.
Final words? “I am sure, DRONA would not only work with the Indian audiences, but also internationally,” he says. Amen!

if its not Super Hero Flick…then it won’t work cuz AB jr has no charm to pull audience to cinemas for a 45 cr film
Yes Darouna is a zero-hero film.
The makers r afraid to term it a superhero film…
Abhishek is a very fine actor.This movie will be of different concept and i hope so audience will like the movie.
Abhishek has improved his acting over last two years for sure.But he lacks the charishma to lift a movie like Drona
Drona will be the next dud from Abhishek.
The producers might even get bankrupt. I pity for Sonali.
there is no promotion for the film and kidnap will destroy this 60cr film
I have been watching the promo of Drona on T.V. It looks fantastic, amazing and mind blowing and I hope it will break the record of AB junior’s last year movies’ Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and Laga Chunari Mei Daag. And it will overtake his father’s last year blocbuster RGV’s Aag also.
The promos look good till Abhishek come to frame.After that it is really dull.
In the Contrary the promos of Kidnap looks really stunning.
Rajeev,
completely agreed bro,kidnap promos look really good especially Imran looks much more confident here unlike jtyjn.
btw,i saw drona latest promo on tv,its worse than what i had anticipated .who has designed that ancient roman look? LOL!!!
Phanindra

guys i liked Drona trailer lolz…though i keep wondering whats priyanka’s role in it? where is priyanka lolz…am not buying the not super hero film thing..IT LOOKS IN THE PROMOS LIKE A SUPERHERO FILM..wondering how Abhi would portray that..i still dont believe in his acting skills and dont trust it enough to go buy tickets first day first show to watch him..but Drona trailer made me curious..and the trailer gave me the feeling that its a fantasy film…in the other hand kidnap made me more curious about it..first of all Imraan looks way more mature and hot than in JTYJN..Sanjay Dutt is a way better actor than Abhi lolz..no need to prove that..after watching promos of both films..i feel like kidnap is the winner..
