Direction - direction with no definite vision....Execution of the film is totally based on delusions of grandeur.
Screenplay adaptation - it fails to become an explorer's journey with thrill & suspence.
It fails to become typical B grade monster movies with chase, plastic gore...like anaconda & Jaws...which were 100 times nore entertaining.
It fails to become an action , adventured pack fantasy....into which the audience can actually immerse themselves.
It succedes to become a complete mockery of itself...as the housefull audience was actually laughing at many scenes...people were laughing at it's pretentiousness & superficial theme park like experience ( from point A to B of the map) ...and at the themepark like obstacles that has been cheaply catered.
Acting - Dev isn't the only who ruined the film.David James who played Marco Florian & Svetlana Gulakova as Anna Florian also contributed in ruining the film.... David James with his hyperactive, restless, histrionic personality & maniac laughs....Dev with his expressionless monotony....and with their collective ultra fake accents.
Dialogues - No dialogues to some poorly writen one...as kids when plays with "dollhouse" or "pirates" converses with more realistic manner...in more accurate ways...with more convictions.
It doesn't matter wheather it's multilingual film...stupid & cheesy dialogues writen/translated in/into any language would sound stupid & cheesy.
"Ana my darling daughter...(histrionic expression)...haahaa(maniac laughs of David James)...ohh..my dear daughter..haahaa(maniac laughs again)".
Cinematography , Vfx - amazing locations, good cinematography...with very back dated CGI ( though I can understand the budget of a bengali film)...but repeatative use of those lame CGI action sequence contributed more or less nothing into the storyline.
So the movie became just "Props with out a Play".
Production - To make a big budget film like these you need courageous production company...who can make this crap of a movie with confidence (arrogance)....and then can sell everything with created hype.
As It seems the production has recovered the money they've invested...with all these multilingual, star casting , christmass release... They should spend more with movies with content (good story line).... where audience will not be dissapointed as such as this.
I'd conclude by saying this....that this isn't a movie for Dev fans...this isn't a movie for fans who love watching hollywood action, adventure fantasy....This isn't a movie for cinephile like us who loves watching world movies....This only can be a Home Video for Kamaleshwar Mukherjee.
