Eklavya - The Royal Guard

I do not have any expectations from movies which are multi-starers. There are simply too many of them who do not live up to expectations. Despite this fact, multi-starrer Eklavya has trailers which create suspense to watch it.

The story of Eklavya is really unique, and you can safely say that it is “hat ke”. The screenplay uses dialogues which are right to the point, and it doesn’t have any unnecessary or disturbing characters. This has also lead to the limited length of the movie which consists of 1 hour and 45 minutes. Do we really need boring movies with more length?

I really enjoyed watching Eklavya, and it has its own style of creating intense atmosphere, and you are going to ask in you mind “what’s gonna happen now”. Moreover, Saif Ali Khan and Boman Irani have again proven their acting skills in addition to the other actors.

The production house of Vidhu Vinod Chopra (director and producer of the movie) has given us a number of good movies, i.e. Munna Bhai MBBS, Parineeta, Lage Raho Munna Bhai etc, so we should really look forward to projects from this point. However, it seems like that the movie has flopped in India, which indicates that public does not prefer these kinds of movies. They instead run movies from Yash Raj studios to blockbusters, and those movies has tendency to be based on the well-used formulas. Does public really like to know what they are going to see instead of giving chance to new and fresh ideas like Eklavya?
