I think shakesphere has said what is in a name but now I have realised that in a hindi film everything is in a name as it tells you how the film would turn out tobe and to be fair the warning signs were there with such a bizzare title but I ignored them and hence got bored like hell for next two hours and four minuts.
The film has no script, poor screenplay, poor acting by lead actors, poor misdirected direction, bad costumes and to make matters worse scenes which have been lifted straight out of sholay have been handled very badly adding to viewers misery so that you do not get burnt by this aag avoid this film and instead watch a rerun of sholay which still thrills you no end even after thirty odd years of its release
Story
The film is a story of inspector narsimha(mohanlal) a police inspector who is in conflict with baban(amitabh) a criminal who nows has his eyes set on kaliganj a village by the sea near mumbai and hence is threatening and killing villagers so in order to protect the villagers from baban narsimha hires two petty criminals hero(ajay devgan) and raj(prashant raj) in which they eventually taste success. The film also has a track based on sholays basanti called ghungroo(nisha kothari) a female rickshaw driver who falls in love with hero and devi(sushmita sen) a track based on sholays radhas character of a young widow and also based on surma bhopali called rambha bhai(rajpal yadav).I think you dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what happens next in this film as it is completly inspired by sholay but sippy can rest easy as film has been haphazardly handled has no class and is bound to be a bigger super flop than even jhoom barabar jhoom
Performance
baban-amitabh bachan is in his worst performance of his career bad even than his performance in suryavansham which is aided by his strange mannerisms and costume and is not even one percent fearsome as gabbar singh was in sholay and is instead reduced to a cartoonish character
narsimha-mohanlal is uncomfortable as narsimha and also has a strange accent for a mumbai cop to boot which makes him unconvincing in this role
hero-ajay devgan looks uninterested as hero and hams throughout the film especially suicide scene which he botches up very badly
raj-prashant raj carries his amzing race expression into this film and acts badly and is no match to amitabhs character in sholay
ghungroo-nisha kothari wears vulgar costumes and to make matters worse acts badly and has a voice which sounds like a hema malini mimic job
devi-sushmita sen moves in a black tent like dress throughout the film and has very little else to do in this film except a 5 minute love track with raj but it appears more like nishabd as she appears atleast twenty years older than raj
rajpal yadav hams as rambha bhai a poor take off on surma bhopali
