Long back in a far-flung town.there was once a young man named Aditya.Raised by a foster family,Aditya was ignorant of his real self and the destiny that awaited him.
Ever since he was a child, a frequent nightmare disturbed him. And when he woke up in anxiety, there was no one he could ever hold on to except for a magical blue rose petal that came drifting in the wind, never failing to make him smile through his tears.
Else where far from his town, an evil sorcerer, Riz Raizada, a successor of the asuras (legendary demons), had become dangerously irritated in his thirst for the valuable secret. The secret, which was the lost link, in his grand plan of grasping the universe. To get to the secret, he’d have to conquer Drona.
One day, Aditya and Riz came in front of each other and Riz immediately acknowledged him as the Drona. Aditya’s destiny had caught up with him and his life was about to take him on a journey he had never anticipated.
Sonia, the leader of the cult, discovered Aditya’s real identity to him. Baffled, Aditya found it all too difficult to believe.
Without wasting time, Sonia decides to take Aditya back to his place of birth, the ancient kingdom of Pratapgarh, where his mother, Queen Jayati Devi would have all the answers to his questions. But before he could hug his mother, Riz and his army of the darkest powers catch up with him.
Aditya would now have to go up to the occasion and embrace his destiny. To save the mankind he would have to become the legendary warrior he was born to be Drona.
Thus started Drona’s journey through myths and legends. Along with Sonia, he would fight the evil spells of the absolutely deadly Riz Raizada. By battling out of odds, he would discover skills that he never knew he had.
But would his fears catch up with him?
Would the nightmares from his childhood come in the way of his legendary journey?
As good and evil clash in this contemporary daydream fable, a breathtaking exploration beckons you into a world of mythic heroes and nasty magicians, of charming lands and life-altering choices, of shrewdness curses and absolute innocence.

The movie tells the story of a young, angst-filled man (Imran Khan) who kidnaps the daughter ( Minissha Lamba ) of a rich industrialist (Sanjay Dutt) to settle an old score. Instead of demanding a huge ransom, the kidnapper holds the businessman to ransom and plays a game with him. In the game, the kidnapper makes him do things like burgle a rival’s house, rescue a prisoner from a high-security jail, and even kill someone.

Now, there has to be a reason strong and sound enough for the kidnapper to make the businessman do such crazy things. When that subplot is revealed, the movie hits rock bottom and you somehow manage to stop yourself from pulling your hair. The subplot shows how Dutt had once wronged a teenaged boy. Without giving away the plot, I will safely add that it is so embarrassing to watch that you want to hurl your popcorn bucket to the screen, if only you hadn’t paid out of your own wallet for it.
Imran Khan holds the film together by rising above the shoddy script solely by dint of his performance. Though he doesn’t do anything stellar, there’s something about him that catches your eye whenever he is on the screen. Hot as a potato and cool as a cucumber, Imran walks through his role with menacing ease. Minissha performs well but her styling looks very odd on her character. Sanjay Dutt is okay as long as he doesn’t do action. There’s a scene in which he tells the kidnapper to go to hell, and his wife, Vidya Malvade , vents out her anger on Dutt. He turns to her and says: “you’re over-reacting”. He should’ve said “you’re over acting”.
