How on earth did Sir Ben Kingsley get involved with making this film? It is absolutely, mind-bogglingly, horribly dreadful in every way possible - in terms of script, acting, visuals, music etc etc. I bought it (thankfully very cheaply) because Ben Kingsley was involved. He owes me 10 RMB. I should be fair and admit that I didn't actually watch until the end, but can't imagine that it improved - although it could not have got any worse. Reading the other reviews here, it seems that it didn't improve. I guess Ben Kingsley may have been doing a favour to someone in the Sri Lankan film industry, but this clearly proves that a star name alone can't make a good film. How on earth the IMDb score is 4.7 (it may be less now), I can't possibly imagine.
