Ocean's 12 - Hindu Mythology


The first one sets the expectations. The second ruins it. The third destroys the last hope of the franchise. There are few to name for this. But there are few to name against this too. Especially when the second is based on a story from Hindu Mythology.

After seeing the most lucrative robbery in recent times(in movies) by the squad of Ocean's 11, I was wondering how will the addition of one more member help. So there came Ocean's 12. The movie starts of with no surprise. They are all hunted now and its time for payback. So naturally our boys get into business again. But wait. They are in for a surprise for there is some competition around. So to decide upon the winner, they call upon a bet. Whoever steals the egg, will be declared as "The Best". Thats a nice game. So the hunt goes on with more sizzles. Catherine Zeta Jones steals the screen while the rest try to steal the egg. But be clear that she is not the new recruit. So while you figure out who the 12th person is, let me tell you what happens in the last. The egg is stolen, they are caught by the cops and the villian is declared "The best". So who stole the egg? The Villian? Yeah. He even dances to get across the laser to reach the egg. But Ocean emerges as the winner. Because he didnt have to steal it. Are you not getting it????? Well... then you will have to watch the movie yourself. Its one of the best.....remakes of all time.

Coming to Hindu mythology, It is true that Lord Vinayakar got the mango easily by walking around his parents while Lord Murugan went on travelling across land and Ocean in his peacock. Ocean has learnt a lot from that.
