The movie^[5] was produced with a budget of over ₹45 crore (US$5.6 million) on special effects with VFX experts 60 working on the movie for over 6 months. Mainly, the team collaborated with EyeQube Studios with Eros to achieve quality effects. 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." The film became the biggest disaster of Abhishek's career. 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).^[7]
