Drona - Synopsis

Drona is the compelling modern tale of one man's spectacular voyage through the labyrinths of mystic myths and legendary legacies. As good and evil clash in this contemporary fantasy fable, a breathtaking journey beckons you into a world of mythic heroes and malicious magicians, of cunning curses and absolute innocence.

A world, where spells can turn live-flesh to cold stone. A world, whose whispers lay closely guarded in a land of mirages. A world thriving with thrills, a world of mystical magic, a world where adrenalin bursts out into a riot of colours. A world of audacious adventures, a world of fantastical folklores.

Drona is a slick, twenty first century tale that travels across continents but is profoundly and proudly Indian.

Plot Outline

From the times, when time itself was a newborn baby, the universe has kept one secret carefully camouflaged within its folds. A secret, which if unraveled, could unlock the destruction of mankind and the entire cosmos.

Today, only one man can protect the universe's precious secret and thus, save the human race from absolute annihilation.

DRONA

As good and evil clash in this contemporary fantasy fable, a breathtaking journey beckons you into a world of mythic heroes and malicious magicians, of cunning curses and absolute innocence.

A world thriving with thrills, a world of mystical magic, a world where adrenalin bursts out into a riot of colours. A world of audacious adventures, a world of fantastical folklores.

 Just look at that Pic of Aby’s Baby……he looks just Spectaculer…..Love you Abhi…..!!!

The forthcoming release in question is Goldie Behl`s Drona, a heavyweight production that stars Abhishek Bachchan and is being produced by Rose Movies and Eros. Featuring 1200 vfx shots, very close to the highest Bollywood has yet attempted, and filmed in Prague, Namibia, Mumbai and Rajasthan, it`s the sort of production that promises to firmly establish India on the global scene and was therefore one that required the best image quality available.

David Bush was Visual Effects Producer/Supervisor on the movie. "We had seen some recent Indian blockbusters go the 2K route in 1:2.35 Cinemascope format, and we weren`t happy with the overall soft image that ensues at that resolution," he says. "In fact, centre extraction of a 2K scanned image is really down to the equivalent of less than a thousand lines of resolution, and I personally think that this is inadequate for wide format films on the big screen."

Together with Behl and DoP Sameer Arya, the decision was made to post in 4K at FutureWorks, one of Mumbai`s top film post production houses. FutureWorks installed a Quantel Pablo 4K next generation nonlinear grading and film finishing suite integrated with a Genetic Engineering shared workflow infrastructure, together with a Max assist station. As a result, FutureWorks is now in the vanguard of the new wave of high-end digital post production sweeping across India.

Bush was impressed with the Pablo system and FutureWorks` facilities, certainly more so than some rival bidders` ?4K` proposals. "M any were underestimating the sheer speed and volume needs for an effective 4K pipeline," he says. "They based their proposals on unproven and theoretical workflows using proxies, down rezzing, still to be tried-and-tested storage area networks, and moving material around from editing to color grading systems backwards and forwards more or less continuously."

The FutureWorks 4 K workflow is much cleaner, genuinely 4 K throughout, and features a Sp i r i t 4K datacine and the Pablo 4K, sitting on the Genetic Engineering backbone, with a 4 K ARRILASER film recorder as the final stage in the process.

Bush has overseen over 50 DI productions and is adamant that DI is about more than the grading, especially at 4K. "Deliverables have become one of the most important aspects, and these are better catered for on the Quantel platform than by others," he says. Drona is pushing the benchmark ever higher in the fast growing Indian film industry, and I`m proud to be part of the team actively pushing the quality envelope."

The Music by ASHU AND DHRUV….. Abhishek jammed with Bauchklang, an Austrian band. It is learnt that the band is popular in Europe and they often perform at local gigs. Bauchklang was in Mumbai in February performing at a lounge bar.

A source says, “Bauchklang has worked with Ashu-Dhruv, the music directors for the film on a song and also the background music. The reason why Ashu-Dhruv and Bauchklang have collaborated is that they both have very similar styles of working.

Dhruv was quite impressed with their vocals. They don’t use any instruments. They band is all about harmonising their vocals. Abhishek was very impressed when he met the band.”

If things had gone as gone as per the original schedule, box-office delight Akshay Kumar’s ‘Singh Is Kinng’ would have released with Aby’s Baby, Abhishek Bachchan’s much-awaited SFX extravaganza, ‘Drona’. Thankfully, the makers of ‘Singh Is Kinng’ decided to prepone it by a week and avoided the unnecessary clash. It was then assumed that Goldie Behl’s, ‘Drona’ would be the solo release of August 15.

However, it now seems that the best newcomer of the year Ranbir Kapoor’s Yash Raj venture, ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ with Deepika, Bipasha and Minissha is all set to release on the 15th August, along with hot 'n' happening Abhishek Bachchan (with Priyanka Chopra) starrer ‘Drona’.
The Siddharth Anand (‘Salaam Namastey’ and ‘Ta Ra Rum Pum’) directed ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ is likely to be Ranbir’s next release after Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Sawaariya’.

Before we leave, the formality. Release dates can change even at the eleventh hour!

And last but not the least……

Is thisa Priyanka’s Drona Look…..????

Is  Priyanka Chopra will be seen in yet another spunky role in Goldie Behl’s movie Drona  . Priyanka Chopra plays the role of a female bodyguard to Abhishek Bachchan's Drona.

She trained under an expert for Gatka, which is a specialized form of fighting from the Punjab belt of North India. A trainer from Ludhiana had reportedly been roped in to give training to Priyanka. The training included both defensive and attacking moves…

Just can’t wait to see this movie..even a trailor would do……
