Movie Review: Eklavya-The Royal Guard

Eklavya – The Royal Guard, as from the title of the movie its clear that the movie is about a guard which is played by Amitabh Bachhan and the story of the movie keeps on roaming around him and story is that he is the father of princess, played by Saif Ali Khan but it is not known by the King(who don’t have any kingdom now), played by Boman Irani and her wife role is played by Sharmila Tagore. But when the king cames to knw about this fact he kills his wife and also planned to kill the guard with the help of his brother, played by Jackie Shroff and his son played by Jimmy Shegill, in revenge.But in mean time princess came to knw about all this as he arrived to India after his mother’s death and when he came to know abt this then he gives more money to Jackie to kill Booman Irani as he wants to save his real father.
This is the main story which is stretched for around 2 hours and in theater you will feel that when this flick is going to over as the screenplay is very slow and story goes on a speed of snail. And basically there is nothing so new or interesting in the story that can keeps you to stick up in your chairs. However with such big star cast movie fails to attract the peoples to the theater.
You can watch the movie for a good direction work done by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, a good background score and after all the acting of whole starcast. Else there is nothing in this movie for which you can spend your money. Just a time pass movie!
