What a shit movie, slow and boring. What is this shit ppl are talking about that amitab is so better than SRK.Amitab can not even keep on a movie on his shoulder. What Big B, how can he call himself big b. its not any big b. SRK is far away from amitabs standards.

With this movie, director Vidhu Vinod Chopra has embarked on a unique and bold trip. He has transposed an incident from the ancient Mahabharata involving the character Eklavya to a more contemporary period, this time involving a royal guard named Eklavya, played admirably by Amitabh Bachchan. In the process, Chopra has given us a modern interpretation of dharma, as opposed to the traditional concept delivered to us through our ancient Hindu scriptures. Chopra is at the helm of a brilliant technical team who have worked relentlessly to put up the most sumptuous visual treat to have come out of the Indian film industry in recent times. Whether, it be the cinematography of Nataraja Subramaniyam, the costumes of Subarna Ray Chaudhuri and Raghavendra Rathode, or the set designing of Nitin Desai, technically this movie is top notch. Acting wise, Bachchan and Saif are in their elements. Jimmy Shergill will surprise you, while Jackie Shroff and Boman Irani are efficient. However, despite the positives, the movie fails to hold the rapt attention of its audience. Although its running time is only 105 min. it loses pace at crucial moments and hence prevents the movie from being the masterpiece that it could have been with a tighter script and sharper editing. The background score is impressive but the one song included in the movie is uncalled for and seems forced. There are brilliant sequences, but they are interspersed by periods of dullness which rob the movie of its cutting edge. Overall, Eklavya should be watched and appreciated solely for attempting this bold and novel concept. However, its appeal at the box office will be limited and will lose steam after the first weekend.

Boring as hell. Very rusted and old story. No meaning or significance in today's world. More so, except Anitabh, everyone was just there because of VVC. Otherwise, no actor would've picked small 5 min roles! Waste of money! My advice to VVC-plz stick to munnabhai series! The rock!

If vidhu vinod chopra claims to have taken 5 years to write the story of this kind then pity on him as there is nothing extraordinary in this sory of Eklavya. Moreover Amitabh Bachchan's performance was not so great. It was the normal performance that you would see in his average movie. Again, if director fails to maintain good pace and drama in just 1hr 50min film then what would u expect from a 3hr film. The only thing that entertained was the pormo of Munnabhai Chale Amrica shown during the movie. Rest of the time its a bouring movie.

EKLAVYA FOR ELITE THINKERS!Great movie.Daringly different.But,you must watch it twice,to enjoy it MORE.Gamut of emotions.Great sets and visuals.The concept of 'Dharma' is followed by both,Saif and Amitabh,in their right ways.Sanju is lovable and surely is the character which the masses will carry home with them.Thrilling movie.MUST WATCH FOR HIGH THINKERS,who are tired of the stereotyped movies.Its one of the most beautifully crafted movie,which Indian Cinema will witness,for the times to come.KUDOS!

Karan Johar's Dharma productions could use this film to promote their production house, considering the number of times the word "dharma" is spoken in this 2 hour movie ....however, that is the message that VVC tries to instill in his audiences..that you are born for a reason, to fulfill your dharma, and if you fail your dharma, you go to Hell ! this message is passed through our very own Big B, who plays the title role of EKLAVYA to perfection.. Big B ..what does one say about this extraordinary actor ? even though limited by a huge beard that almost covers up his entire face, his eyes speaks volumes..we, as an audience simply sit mesmerised by his presence..his blind reverence towards his Rana, his supressed love for his son, and his frustration & anger towards the end leaves us spellbound..clearly this film belongs to AB (as it should).. SAIF as the prince, adds one more feather to his royal turban with his amazing performance..if you thought he would be overshadowed by Big B, think again ! In a role that requires him to underplay his acting, he matches Big B at every step..all the scenes that he has with Big B are the best written and powerpacked..he oozes a smug confidence and makes his role seem effortless...he comes into his own towards the climax when he challenges AB to kill him..also the scene after his mother's funeral has been well potrayed.. SANJAY DUTT is lovable as the rugged cop who idolises Eklavya and his skills..his childlike excitement upon seeing his idol and his hatred towards the king is brought out excellently by the actor..in fact he is the comic relief in an otherwise morbid film..though wish he had more scenes and was not relegated to 4-5 scenes.. VIDYA BALAN is once again impressive in a short but sweet role..however, she is not too important to the going ons...her chemistry with Saif is pleasant..she gets to emote well in the scene where her father dies and Saif accepts to marry her..also the scene with Saif where he tells her the truth is good.. The rest of the cast have done their jobs well ..BOMAN as the jealous king is excellent ..JIMMY Shergill, proves that evil lurks behind his baby face, RAIMA Sen is impressive albeit she has a short role..JACKIE shines in parts.. Technically, the film is brilliant..the lighting,costumes, sets, cinematography, background score speaks of the tremendous effort put in by the entire team..one such scene where it shows, is the preinterval scene with the camels and the train..another seatgrabbing moment is the one where AB kills JIMMY S..music too is pleasant..although theres just one song..Chanda Re.. Overall, Eklavya is a film thats genuinely different and daring..a good story (though I wonder why it took VVC 5 years to write it !) and an excellent performances by an ensemble cast elevates the movie to great heights..welcome back Vidhu Vinod Chopra ! (and special thanks to you for the trailer of Munnabhai 3 ..simply hilarious !!)
