I went to the theatres the opposite day to catch the Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt starrer, Agneepath. The movie was meant to be pure masala fare meant to maintain one thrilled for a fair three hours. The expectancies were quite high on account of Agneepath’s trailer and accomplished actors comparable to Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt starring in it. Unfortunately, it did not keep me gripped for the plot was loose with several illogical gaps and it was simply too much Bollywoodism packed in for one film.
Synopsis
Based on Mukul Anand’s original cult film, the plot of Agneepath is rather simple. It’s belongs to the great old fight-for-right and avenge-with-revenge form of Bollywood films.
Agneepath is the tale of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan (Hrithik Roshan) who's out on a mission against, Kancha (Sanjay Dutt), the bald, evil looking villain to avenge his father’s (Master Deenanath played by Chetan Pandit) death within the village of Mandwa.
Agneepath star cast
After his father is wrongfully murdered by Kancha, young Vijay (Arish Bhiwandiwala) together with his mum Suhasini Chauhan (Zareena Wahaab) leave to Bombay. There he rises from a bit kid to just a little gangster under Rauf Lala (Rishi Kapoor), the leader of Bombay’s underworld.
Kali (Priyanka Chopra) is his only friend who's pining away for his love. Inspector Gaitonde (Om Puri) is the long arm of justice who understands Vijay and desires to assist him.
Where Agneepath Failed
A plot in keeping with fighting for righteousness and vengeance is a hackneyed story line for Bollywood films. But within the original Agneepath, Kader Khan’s superbly written dialogues and Amitabh Bachchan’s delivery of them managed to create an impressive impression. It had eventually turned out to be certainly one of Amitabh Bachchan’s most epic performances.
Cut to 2012, when debut director Karan Malhotra and producer Karan Johar choose to rip off remake a cult classic by shredding the unique screenplay to bits and adding masala to fit the taste of the brand new generation. They simply thing epic in regards to the new Agneepath it will likely be Sanjay Dutt’s style and performance.
If you go watch Agneepath, be prepared to peer Hrithik kill a complete gang of villains armed with automatic machine guns with a single revolver and later, dying within the arms of his mother with cheesy Bollywoody dialogues spilling off his tongue. Some find these items good but for some, it might probably get too ludicrous to digest.
They have gone too far to make the brand new Agneepath a crowd puller. There really was no use for ear blasting background scores or irreverent action scenes.
A Few Good Points
Cinematography.
Some of the visuals within the movie are beautifully painted at the screen, giving Agneepath a surrealist tinge to it. Color and depth appear to have has been meticulously worked up in almost each frame. Kudos to Sabu Cyril and Kiran Deohans for such stunning visuals.
Sanjay Dutt – The most productive Bollywood Villain in recent years
Sanjay Dutt in as Kancha in Agneepath
The most noteworthy and original part of Agneepath is Sanjay Dutt’s role of Kancha which had originally been played by Danny Dezongpa. Bollywood villains have often entertained audiences greater than the heroes. Within the new Kancha is looks disturbingly evil and is a thousand times meaner. That is one in all his best performances after Munnabhai and I’m quite sure he'll put off many awards for the role.
Conclusion – A variety of noise, little substance
Agneepath has the entire characteristics of a Bollywood film which usually make us love Bollywood. It has conflict, it has souped up drama and emotion, unbelievable action scenes, a much mentioned Chikni Chameli, powerful dialogue, a hero, heroine and villain.
But it just somehow doesn’t make the cut for a
