Ram Setu
Written & Directed by Abhishek Sharma
Ram Setu tries really hard to be politically correct. It is a product soaked, no dyed in saffron.
I don’t know what the original colour of the plot was. Certainly not green. But perhaps initially they wanted to make film tinged in saffron rather than drowned in the preferred colour. What we finally get is Akshay Kumar as an archeologist whom we first meet in Afghanistan. It is the kind of overpunctuated underlined prologue, which even James Bond would find exhausting, so who are we to live through it?
Live, we do. There is so much more to come. A lot of it plainly ridiculous. At some point the plot inexplicably moves to Sri Lanka because that is where Raavan apparently lived(whether the geographical Sri Lanka is actually the Lanka referred to in the Ramayan is a debatable point). And if...
