Ditto Ruskhsar
I liked the movie, the best part was that there were no break out song/dance sequences. It was short and to the point. AB and Saif both were great.
Re: Eklavya-The Royal Guard
i just watched this last night…quite a good unique kinda film-for starts it wasnt 4 hours long-like the last film i watched-salaam-e-ishq, which i thought was bakwaas!..
AB did sum good acting, and Saif was ok too…but the best charcter was Sunjay Dutt-sooo phunnay!..the chix werent lookin 2 hot in this film tho…
Re: Eklavya-The Royal Guard
^^ you're right salaam-e-ishq total baqwaas waste of time.
I'm looking forward for Namaste London only coz it has a hot actress in it and she looks even hotter in the punjabi outfits.

Re: Eklavya-The Royal Guard
**Eklavya *****
Eklavya is a fascinating film -one of those films you watch for sheer visual pleasure. Set in contemporary Rajasthan, the story of Eklavya unravels within the majestic palace of the royal family of the Ranas who no longer rule in these times of democracy but still follow a lifestyle inherited from royal lineage. It’s the story of Eklavya, the royal guard, who is responsible for the safety of a family that is riddled with intrigue and secrets. And Eklavya has moments of perfect artistry, like when murders are plotted in the midst of a speeding train and a herd of dusty camel hooves. Every grain of sand glistening in the blinding rays of the hot desert sun is magnificent. These moments continue and keep you riveted to the screen throughout the film
Unfortunately the characters in Eklavya fall secondary in importance to the imagery. Amitabh has a lot of screen presence and certainly lives up to it but he too falls prey to the backdrop. The rest are cast in an extremely compromising position. Saif Ali Khan as the humble, English speaking Nawab mourning the death of his mother, brings forth no originality or surprise. He is given a role that merely stems off from his real life and his character in Parineeta. The same goes for Vidya Balan who is so ineffective that she becomes pathetic in the shadow of Lolita (again, Parineeta). It would have been simpler to have done without her as she provides nothing concrete to the plot except for a letter that could have been handed to any other confidant.

According to them ths is just a good movie, but as of review the storyline looks great but the characters are not justly distributed.
Anybody who has watched it, can please tell me if it is worth a look?
Re: Eklavya-The Royal Guard
umer lol jus look above ur post and ull know if its worth it or not
Re: Eklavya-The Royal Guard
the whole movie was good but at the and they just ruined the flow by making it into a happy ending. a proper ending might be vidya balan going back to saif but never ever talking to her again. i mean the ending was so happy im surprised they didnt find a cure for the younger sister
Re: Eklavya-The Royal Guard
i watched it last night n yes i liked it.it wasn't a meaningless story n i liked the end as well.its my kinda movie i guess :)
Re: Eklavya-The Royal Guard
Very very sad to see Pakistanis watching Bollywood crap with passion. Maybe they should ban Bollywood stuff completely in Pakistan and enforce a law in foriegn countries to stop the expatriats from watching the stuff too!
Re: Eklavya-The Royal Guard
I did not like the movie. It was so slow that I have to forward it to finish.
