Drona's special effects shots were worked on by EyeQube,[2] headed by Charles Darby and David Bush.

The movie features Indian martial arts such as Kalaripayattu, Chhau, Gatka, and sword fighting.

The crew contained 250 visual effects artists, animators, designers, painters and developers.

[6] Sukanya Verma of Rediff gave the movie 2.5 stars and mentioned, "Considering its fantastical theme, Drona is officially escapist and hence isn't obligated to broadcast logic beyond conveying 'good wins over evil' and 'conquer your fear by facing it' message."

Hindustan Times writes Like it or not, Drona is artless, arrogant, brazenly derivative and terribly acted by one and all (except for that puckish dwarf maybe).
