These are movies that I call "Empty Spectacle", a film that tries to dazzle us with special effects and a grand scale but utterly fails in writing and screenplay. Except SRK & Nagarjuna, everyone was overacting. The story is wafer thin and has hardly any connection with actual Indian Mythology. The love story is supposed to be the emotional core of the film, but it felt very artificial and forced. The special effects, for a Bollywood film, is really commendable. But everytime that I thought a scene had potential, it was utterly ruined by the Kindergarten level dialogues written by Hussain Dalal and Ayan Mukerji. But they have successfully created an intrigue for the future characters in the sequel, hopefully they will deliver a better film.
