Movie Review - Agneepath (Hindi) - Too loud and too darn long!!

The movie, as expected, got its share of stellar performances from Hrithik Roshan and Rishi Kapoor.

The film has everything - Sheen, gloss, stars, colors, but no soul. It lacks purpose & fails to convince. The lagging and crappy screenplay ruined the movie, but kudos to the surprise performance by Rishi Kapoor, he's the most villainous person in the movie. And now to be fair, Sanjay Dutt is legendary. You LOVE Kancha Cheena (Sanjay Dutt) for his badness but you HATE Rauf Lala (Rishi Kapoor) for his badness, that's how you perceive the diversity in their characters. Sanjay Dutt says his look in Agneepath is inspired from 'The Joker' in The Dark Knight. Either he's retarded or he spelt Voldemort wrong (Harry Potter fans, make a note). Never judge a movie by its poster unless it has got Sanjay Dutt on it. Then you know it's going to be lot of fiction. 

In short, Karan Johar's father had all the RIGHTS of Agneepath and now the son has all the WRONGS. It's better if he sticks to something he's got at, like "Bole chudiya, bole kangana... Le ja le ja" sort of stuff. I just wanna mention the typical awkward moment when the hero gets up even after being stabbed six times. God save the cinema. As Kancha Cheena says, "Tu meri tarah nahi hai, tere me moh, maya, mamta hai" - that is the difference between the old and new Agneepath. Watch it to relive the moments where actors play larger than life characters and for some real HEROISM or avoid it to save yourself from walking on AGNEEPATH!!

P.S. The film has grossed Rs 25 crore on Day 1 and surpassed the previous record held by 'Bodyguard'. Look at our expenditure folks; we still say we are POOR!!
