01/28/2022 Shameless Romancing the Stone knockoff. It's a silly little adventure, but it's not without its fun. Rajinikanth is fun as the scoundrel in it See more 04/30/2020 Film starring Brett stimely and Rajinikanth even more indian junior artists and shooting was done mainly in South India,a film yet need a good recognition in both Hollywood and kollywood. But due to its delayed release it's expectations were too lowered.A good classic for South Indian audiences and even with good plot and cast it failed to receive good response between Americans. Overall a great movie, especially if you've ever been to Tamil India! And even if you haven't, here's your chance to see what an American action movie can be like when filmed on the other side of the world! It's an exciting, ride-of-your-life horror-action-adventure-thriller movie that just completely blows all those other Indian (or in this case, Eastern) movies out of the park into the dust. Just hearing about this movie makes me want to watch Indian films more often! "Bloodstone" is one foreign film that must not be missed, especially if you are an Indian movie buff. I liked this movie from start...to finish! See more 10/27/2012 Not exactly a gem. Several groups hunt for a stolen ancient gemstone all over India. Comedic attempts have a mostly tarnishing effect. Highlight is watching megastar Rajinikanth's impressive trick of flipping cigarettes into his mouth. See more 01/14/2011 Nico Mastorakis production is a not too bad imitation of ROMANCING THE STONE with action and humour mixed in. The film does not take itself too seriously, and kicks in a few laughs. Seemed a bit better the second time around. You could do worse. See more 12/31/2010 i dont know that pic done by the great actor rajanikanth ............i am very proud to say the first men to act in hollywood See more 05/07/2010 I wish I could start this review with some clever pun like "This is a forgotten gem" or this is a "diamond in the rough" however I just can't because this is no gem. It's just another run-of-the mill 80's adventure film that blends in with the thousands of others that filled the VHS selves back in the early days of video rental stores Filmed in Indiana, we have a newlywed couple traveling by train in India for their honeymoon. However on the train a thief, who has recently stolen a huge ruby known as the "Bloodstone" (no, not the same damn cracker jack stone from the Subspecies series), slips the stone into their luggage because the authorities were on his trail. This of course leads to high adventure as both the police and the thieves boss are after the coup for the stone. The best part of this film is the authentic India cinematography. If you can get your hands on the Image Entertainment DVD, the transfer is beautiful and captures the lush vegetation wonderfully. Another highlight of the film is the secondary characters which consist of a scheming taxi driver and a high nasally pitched police inspector. These guys are actually fun to watch and totally blow our two leads out of the water. This lies our problem, our newlywed couple. As the lead characters these characters were flat and uninteresting (our leading man also seems to have his voice awkwardly dubbed). Thank God we have interesting secondary characters to pick up the slack. Our head villain (played by Christopher Neame) is also flat and hardly seems threatening, despite director Dwight H. Little desperately tying to make him so. There you have it, Bloodstone, another average 80's adventure film that is only saving grace is a couple of funny and interesting secondary characters and beautiful India cinematography. The film was produced by Nico Mastarakas, an extremely overrated Greek director that thankfully left the directing talents to newcomer Dwight H. Little, a director perhaps best known for Halloween 4.
