It has been chronicled in the Geeta that Eklavya wanted to be Sage Dronacharya's disciple in order to excel at bow and arrow shooting, but was refused because of his low caste. He decided to teach himself, and did excel to such an extent that Dronacharya felt threatened that he would beat his ace disciple, Arjun, so he asked Eklavya for his fee - his right thumb, which Eklavya dutifully cut off and presented it to his Guru.

Movie Reviews

L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by David ChuteEklavya contains only one song sequence, a lovely set piece for leading lady Vidya Balan (Salaam-e-Ishq), but it embraces the imperatives of dynastic family melodrama as fervently as any classic of Bollywood’s golden age. This is robust storytelling, with blood and thunder pumping through its veins, and real whiskers on its face.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by John AndersonSomething about Eklavya: The Royal Guard suggests a lost film by David Lean. With some muted echoes of "Hamlet." And a whiff of "Rigoletto."
The New York Times - 6/10 by Andy WebsterThe main tribute in Guard, however, is to Mr. Bachchan, an aging Bollywood monument (and father of the rising actor Abhishek Bachchan), whose sunken, heavy-lidded eyes, grizzled countenance and noble bearing indisputably convey the presence of a seasoned star.
Variety - 6/10 by Derek ElleyThe pic often plays like a Cliffs Notes version of a longer movie: Pacing and continuity aren't choppy, but there's enough material here for a full-length drama that would go deeper into the characters and their backgrounds. Eklavya is good as it is, but lacks tragic heft.
User Review - 10/10 by VijayG.A classic painting! A tale of epic proportions! A masterpiece!
User Review - 10/10 by PiyushP.An enchanting drama borne out of depth of Hindu mythology. A dark tale of love and deception born set in colorful Rajasthan. A flawed one, but still a masterpiece.
User Review - 9/10 by AmarT.An intense and visually enchanting experience.
User Review - 1/10 by MoluBPThe stylish visuals are merely a show-off, and there is no substance to back it up. The plot is thin, shots overly long, morality full of holes. Very disappointing.
