My opinion

The opening of the movie is so strong that it sets the base for the tweaked Agneepath to run for almost three hours.

It ran to packed theaters, made me understand interest in the people but I doubt if they will return with satisfied feeling especially since this a remake of 1990 flop ”Agneepath”, although over decades it acquired a cult classic status. Before the movie started there was special note from Producer Karan Johar stating that he decided to remake the movie since it did not receive deserving response when released back in 1990 produced by his father Yash Johar although as decades passed it is now regarded as one of the finest movies of hindi cinema.

This very disclosure from Karan Johar made me feel as if Karan Johar was real life Vijay Dinanath Chauhan who wanted to reclaim what his father lost back then. (of course, his story is not that melodramatic!)

Hrithik Roshan, needless to say is a fine actor that gave his cent per cent. I should say he has been successful to a large extent portraying the iconic character “Vijay Dinanath Chauhan”. I don’t want to be mean but personally he was not even a mile close to charisma that Amitabh Bacchan bought to the iconic character. You can’t have Hrithik Roshan play Mehmood and convince me that he tried hard, c’mon! But yes, let’s say there wasn’t 1990 Agneepath and hence nothing for me to look up to…then I would say Hrithik was Fantastic.

Sanjay Dutt, an average actor but a solid personality brings the grey character of Kancha Cheena to life again but with an edge that scares you and gives you apt example of evil. Theaters went berserk at his introduction; I guess that’s what every actor craves for. Despite the story and camera concentrating on Hrithik Roshan for most part Sanjay Dutt’s presence just at the start and climax is enough to overshadow him. Priyanka chopra’s  job in the movie was to be an eye candy for the audience and role model for young girls on how to get perfect body and vary your boob size according to need. It does not mean that she did not do a good, she was brilliant for whatever screen space that was given to her. The child playing Hrithik was fab to watch; sometimes I wonder lately I have been seeing a lot of children doing better jobs than so called superstars of India. He was awesome.

You will be shocked to see Rishi kapoor’s avatar for the fact that we have been used to see him as a good and charming personality. He does gives few speechless performance in the movie and really defines how to get into a character without compromising on the acting skills…hats off, a fine actor that really helped the movie because the award winning stereotyped character of Nariyal Paaniwaala played by Mithoon was chopped off.

The location at which Mandwa has been shot brings life in the movie. Action in the movie was as expected. You might want to look around the theatre while the movie gets slow and loses grip on storytelling. I guess that’s when Chikni Chameli need was felt. She has already created a rage in nation that my opinion wouldn’t matter…lol! Yeah she is every guy’s fantasy!

“Aam janta” in the movie is shown as c**t which is a fact in real life as well, they rejected this Classic when it released but later started realizing its cult potential. As far as I know there are 2 cult movies in hindi cinema one being "Dil Chata Hai" after which youth started flooding in Goa to strengthen friendship and "Agneepath" after which everyone started “Haaiinn”

The last movie revolving around revenge theme that made an impact was “Ghajini”. It was equally brutal but with better entertainment quotient, story and new theme in Bollywood but, that’s Aamir khan.


To sum it up, I would say it's a must watch only if you want to or else get the classic DVD and enjoy the real deal!
