Today I wish to blog about a movie I saw... the movie: AgneePath.
First the main questions... does it do justice to the original script? Does it change the story? Is it better than the original or just another remake destined to be lost in to time..?
Simple answers according to me.. yes to an extent (Read on for more)
Only slightly.... and no, but ain’t that bad either.
The movie itself starts of decently. The kid acting as the young Vijay Deenanath Chauhan (VDC) has done more justice to the role than Hrithik does. Danny doesn’t hold a candle to Sanjay Dutt's portrayal a larger than life villain, Piggy Chops is an unwanted role in the movie and will be forgotten... Rishi Kapoor does justice to his role as well...
The movie, like the original starts off pretty much along the same lines with VDC leaving Mundva with his pregnant mom. He joins ranks of Rishi Kapoor. When he grows up, VDC back stabs his boss to get back to Mundhava. If the story had stuck to its main theme.. aka Vengeance, this would have been better... but the director seems to have a different person in the second half... What was a fast moving story in the first half, becomes a melodrama in the second. I for one was happy when Poggy Chops got chopped. :)
While the villain Kancha, keeps referring to himself as Ravan, and to VDC as Raam... it would seem Raam is the one with 10 heads and million extra life’s to spare... for he cannot be killed! Sanjay steals the show with his acting.. the dialogues he has to deliver half the time is below par... But he seems to deliver them so well that you will at times feel a chill..
All in all, could have been better than it currently is if the director hadn’t lost his hat. It almost seems like Karan J has shot the second half with the ghost of Bazzigar ending making a comeback in this one...
