with a 8.9 rating at the writing of the comment I would think this this movie would have to be something of a revolution. Alas , how far from the truth. The technological innovation in CGI makes Pandora no more real than Discovery channel documentaries. And a predictable pedantic storyline just does not go down my throat. This is a must watch movie just for the CGI. Nothing more , nothing less.More over there is nearly nonexistent acting. The characters are cardboard cutouts.All of the characters either murderous villains or sacrificing angels.More suited for a Disney family movie. It is neither the movie of the decade or anything. Hell it will struggle to be movie of the year.

In India there are only two periods which drove the youth into ideological confrontation , first during the freedom struggle and the second during 70s when the youth could not bear to see the fruits of freedom struggle being frittered away. Now this is where this movie treads.While there has been many movies on the 70s but not many has dealt with the subject as political as this.

To come to the story,this movie deals with 3 characters coming from 3 different backgrounds.Sidharth(K K Menon) coming from an influential and affluent family has seen it all .Fed up of the hypocrisy of elite he desperately wants out. Vikram(Shiny Ahuja) coming from a middle class family is uncomfortable at the elite circle but still wants a way into the circle. The third and central character is British educated south-Indian girl Geeta(Chitrangada singh) who is in the middle in love with Sidhharth but not quite comfortable with his ideology.

The story goes forward with movement of each character in its own line of ideal.The characterizations are superb .The mysterious Vikram always in love with Geeta , Sidhharth the ideologue ,and Geeta a woman torn between love,ideology,the bureaucrat husband are superbly etched. The turmoil of the 70s are almost authentic.

A must watch
