Am I really one on IMDB of the few who loved this movie?

I loved Drona. I had my expectations set right.
I think the only Bollywood answer to LOR is Drona.

Am I the only one?

Well, let the bashings start as well :)
...and NO, I AM NOT A PART OF THIS FILM OR HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIPS OF ANY KIND WITH ANYONE REMOTELY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FILM (except for seeing it on screen of course) before people start accusing me of being one.

I wouldn't say I loved this movie, but I liked it, it was different to the Bollywood films I normally watch (love triangles and love stories yada yada!).

What I liked:
* All the desert scenes, with the horse and ESPECIALLY with the train! That was really cool
* How they discovered the town of Razpur (or however you spell it... I forget)
* The song "Drona" (you can get it from iTunes). Not the remixed version shown at the end, but the one that was sort of played intermittently throughout the film.
* The cinematography in general, great colours and scenes

What I didn't like that much:
* Special effects weren't really that great at all lol... o_O
* Abhishek seemed to only have two facial expressions - brooding, and angry. But you can't deny that he has a presence, and a voice very much like his father!
* Lack of a proper storyline - it was rather flat
* Raz the villain was more comical than scary

I'd rate it a 6/10 probably!
