Have you ever wondered what the human mind is truly capable of? Witness a world
where future meets past... flesh meets steel... and science meets the
supernatural.RUDRAKASH, produced by Nitin Manmohan and Sohail Maklai and
directed by Mani Shankar, explores a genre that has never been explored on the
Hindi screen before.
Healing powers that science cannot explain and voodoo practices that defy all
logic are just some of the instances of paranormal activity that Dr. Gayatri [Bipasha
Basu] is busy investigating. Her experiments bring her with her team of fellow
scientists from America to India where they encounter the gifted Varun [Sanjay
Dutt].Varun has inexplicable paranormal powers, yet is highly disciplined and
evolved. His unusual ability of taking away pain and affliction from his
subjects fascinates Gayatri and he becomes a willing subject of her cause.
Gayatri's unusual experiments suddenly hurtle Varun towards guessing the
existence of a dark power that is hidden and evil. What is the force all about?
And why does it wage a battle against Varun? And how is it linked to Ravan's
Rudrakash?
Hidden away, vanished in the hoary mists of time is the most unusual Rudraksh.
Legend has it that it carried in its folds seed sounds that promised to mutate
humans into a new species. This was not a normal Rudraksh worn by ordinary
people. In the language of science, it was a multi-dimensional hologram in the
form of a seed. It beheld the power to mutate its bearer into a power beyond all
reckoning.Though he first tries to evade the forces that beckon him, Varun is
drawn deeper and deeper into a pact of peril. He is soon hurtled into a heady
adventure and chase that takes him to the Himalayas and then into the mysterious
ruins of the legendary King Ravan's palaces in Lanka. Varun digs deep to
discover the secret of Rudraksh. And suddenly everything starts making sense...
Also starring Suniel Shetty in a never-before-seen role as the formidable Bhuria
and Isha Koppikar as his ravishing consort Lali, RUDRAKASH unfolds its mystery
in several stages, holding the viewer spellbound as it races to its nailbiting
climax, which comes as a revelation.
