Agneepath review
Benefit of being on paternity leave - After returning from the hospital, the things a new father can do are pretty limited, if 2 grand moms are babysitting the kid at home! Anyways, I used the free time available to watch a noon show of the new Agneepath this week -
• If you have not watched the original one, I would rate it * * *
• If you have watched the original one, inevitable comparison with the original will happen, and you may rate it slightly less than 3. (I have watched the original one 3-4 times on TV, and my rating for the original would also be * * * for the movie overall – even though few of the dialogues have now achieved cult status
Vijay Dinanath Chauhan – Pura Naam, baap ka naam Dinanath Chauhan, gaon Mandwa
Maut ke saath –appintment hai..dekho English bolta hai
Topi Sambhalo Dinkar Rao – hawa bahut tej chalta hai
And then the entire set of dialogues from Krishnan Iyer MA
Here’s the review
• The new Dinanath Chauhan pales in comparison to Alok Nath’s persona
• New ‘maa’ – Zarina Wahab – does not rate any comparison to the stoic acting from Rohini Hattangadi in the original one
• Sanjay Dutt’s performance is strictly average – apart from looking very bloated and trying to laugh wickedly – he doesn’t do much. The best role in the entire movie belongs to Rishi Kapoor as Rauf Lala – Rishi seems to be putting in stellar performances in every movie!
• Mandwa has now become an island – some lovely cinematography – FYI – Mandwa as recreated in Diu
• Missed Tinu Anand and Krishnan Iyer MA characters
• Hrithik has put in a decent performance but it lacks the flair and the ‘thasan’ of Big B’s performance in the original one
• Commissoner Gaitonde’s role played by Om Puri lacks the undercurrent of tension between Amitabh and Vikram Gokhale in the original one
