Souyadhana and the temple of doom.
30 July 2020
Here we deal with comic strip :and yet,there are comic strips which are gripping ,with a decent script .

The Thugs were an Indian network of secret fraternities engaged in murdering (sacrifying ) the unfortunate passers-by (here innocent snake hunters). The Thugs consisted both of Hindus and Muslims though their deity was the Hindu Goddess Kali.The Thugs were so ruthless and so cruel that their name became a common noun .

Here the story is guaranted to net nothing but horse laughs ;a captain's young daughter was captured by the Thugs who made her their Kali Sacred Virgin .(sic) But while growing up the kidnapped reluctant priestess feels she is not like the other ones and of course she falls for an enemy.

Most of the story consists of sacrifices ,tortures and "dread-Kali's wrath" warnings ; the best actor in the movie, Peter Van Eyck ,is barely supporting ,and in his rare scenes ,wondering why the hell he got involved in that business.As for the rest of the cast ,it's ,as von-13 aptly wrote ,wooden acting,and directing is appalling,particularly in the final "action-packed" scenes .
