RGV ki(r)Aag
-
I
am a movie buff who loves to watch movies and discuss the art of
cinema. Till date, I have written reviews for movies which have moved
me. This time too, it’s not going to be any different. Ram Gopal Varma
ki Aag is indeed a moving film - It moved me out of the movie hall
within 90 minutes. Flat.
I am was an ardent RGV fan
because of this style of movie making. The self proclaimed maverick has
more than impressed me in the past with his movies. But of lately, he
is on a different high which is more than evident in
the movie’s self indulgent title. From the title to the promos and
trailers, the movie perfectly fits a b-grade category. And watching the
movie confirms the category.
Given the classic Sholay, any one would make atleast a watchable film if he copies frame to frame. Such is the charm of the original. RGV deserves to be punished for carrying out a "Cinematic Rape" of the original Sholay. Just a quick read on the reviews will make a strong case against RGV for a rigorous punishment.
But unlike other reviews, I would like to highlight the "’highs"(pun intented) of the movie:
The movie tests your endurance. It teaches to you be patient and increases you torture bearing capacity The movie boosts sales of the likes of Anacins and Crocins The movie cures Insomnia The movie teaches you to enjoy sadistic pleasures of life The movie helps you value the original Sholay more than ever before The movie will might ground RGV
Ending
Note: This movie doesn’t even deserve to be written about. But I am
earning my karma by saving someone’s hard-earned money and rescuing him
from an extreme mental distress.
