Micitype Pretty Good

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

vikasb2005 What was the director thinking when they made this BS and released it to public. The film is dark and gloomy. It looks like the skies were full of dark clouds all the time and as such there was no enough light for you to be able to see the faces properly. Acting, story is awful. Priyanka Chopra just cannot keep her mouth shut and I mean it literally. In the end, first Sanjay Dutt beats the crap out of Rithik Roshan and Rithik makes no attempt to save himself or attack. And then the reverse. Rithik beats Sanjay Dutt and it feels like Sanjay Dutt is now too tired to even want to stand lest fight. And why does the Vijay's mother go to the police station to tell about Surya? PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS CRAP.

[email protected] The generation that grew up on the ORIGINAL "Agneepath" starring Amitabh Bachchan, Danny D, Mithun knows that USP of that movie were dialogues written by Kader Khan and not the plot, the plot was primarily lifted from "Scarface" starring Al Pacino. Only mistake Dharma Productions made while re-making the movie was not hiring Kadar Khan to re-write the dialogues again. This is not a judgment on the acting or making of the new version, but just a fans observation. The dialogues of the original are still talked about and remembered like dialogues of "Sholay" or "Sharaabi". I don't think someone who watched the NEW "Agneepath" will remember the dialogues of the movie two hours after they are done watching it.

superindrajit Agneepath was originally Big B's film and it flopped at the box office breaking Karan Johar's dad's heart. Karan Johar decided for this remake to achieve what his dad failed to do. He had his assistant Karan Malhotra director this film. This is how this new Agneepath was born and this film became a super hit at the box office. The film has several powerful and epic scenes, almost all the scenes are fantastic but a few scenes like the romantic track fails to create much of an emotion but the movie in general isn't bad. The story is the same as the original and how A young Vijay grows up and the whole story is about revenge. However, there are several different things. First of all, thank god there is no character of Mithun which was annoying in the original. Vijay doesn't have a gang, he works for one but he is like a one man army LOL. The film has added villains like Rauf Lala. But, the ending is the same with the death of our hero. The film has a good story, it is well executed. But, some parts like the Vijay and Kali track is prolonged and bores. The death scene of Kali is sudden, and Vijay getting stabbed 5 times and still killing the villain is reasonable but seems somewhat unrealistic. Amongst acting, Hrithik Roshan as an actor does well, his expressions are convincing. But, Big B was better as Vijay, no offense Hrithik. Priyanka Chopra is good as Vijay's love interest, her role isn't anything special. But, she provides good support. Rishi Kapoor as one of the villains is good, though Sanjay Dutt steals the show. He is epic, he really looks like a tough villain and he is the perfect choice for this film. On the whole, Agneepath is a good movie though some portions bore, the film in general is good. It already is a super hit and seems click well at the box office. This is definitely a good comeback for Sanjay Dutt after terrible films like Rascals and Chatur Singh 2 Star.

XxMaverickxX The old Agneepath, released in 1990, was not a commercial success because it was ahead of its time. However, the film received critical acclaim and Amitabh Bachchan had a National Award bestowed upon him for one of his best ever performances. Due to the fact that the film failed at the box office and shattered the hopes of Yash Johar, Karan Johar's father, his son decided to burden débutant director Karan Malhotra with the task of doing justice to the original. Let's consider the extent to which this film works and the flaws in it.The story, first of all, is simply one of revenge. Vijay Chauhan (Hrithik Roshan) witnesses the humiliation and subsequent murder of his father as a child, masterminded by the ruthless Kancha (Sanjay Dutt). This provides him with the desire for revenge. He wishes to establish himself in the underworld with the aim of facing Kancha to exact his revenge some day. However, law and morals appear to stand firmly in his path. Is he successful? Director Karan Malhotra deserves praise for a thorough exploration of the themes central to the film.Hrithik Roshan has once again shown why he is one of the finest actors in the industry today. His character is dissimilar to Amitabh's in the original. I don't think this is a National Award winning performance, but it will definitely contend for the Filmfare Awards next year.Priyanka Chopra plays the bubbly Kaali with finesse. She provides apt seasoning in the form of humour. However, her character seemed grossly underdeveloped for one in such role in the film.Sanjay Dutt, as Kancha, is one of the most naturally evil-looking villains to ever be conceived. His sheer bulk coupled with his strange mannerisms makes his presence felt on screen. After the Vaastav, the Munna Bhai films and so on, this is yet another highlight of his career.We see Rishi Kapoor in a supporting role as the cunning Rauf Lala. Surely, all the awards for best supporting actor, including the National Award, must be handed to him come awards season next year. There's nothing more to say.Om Puri is a very fine actor; there's no two ways about that. He delivers a sincere performance but could have done with more screen space. On one hand he seems to be wasted but on another his contribution is important to the plot.Special mention goes to Arish Bhiwandiwala who is the young Vijay Chauhan. An impressive performance by a child artist.The cinematography by Ravi K. Chandran, a cinematographer who has worked with the likes of Mani Ratnam, is eye- catching.He manages to capture the locales perfectly in every scene to adhere to the goings on.There are a few scenes, such as the scene in Rauf's 'market' with him and Hrithik, the murder of Hrithik's father and the climax that leave a lasting impression. A treat for the viewers.However, the original Agneepath was more violent than this. I felt that this needed to be more violent in order to be adequately moving for a film whose name translates as 'path of fire'.There are an unnecessary number of sub-plots in the second half that disrupt the course of the movie as set up by the first half. Consequently, the viewer hardly reacts to the outcome of the climax.Finally, the arrogance and swagger of Amitabh's character in the original was missing here. His presence isn't felt as much as a result.Overall, this film is a good tribute to the original that's not to be missed for its four aces: the first half, Hrithik, Rishi and Sanjay. Highly recommended!! 8/10
