My Review of AAG - Its Burning Hot!
A remake of Sholay? Sort of
A Xerox Copy of Sholay? Not at all
An Adaptation with another visionaries perspective? - Yes that is what it is.
AAG - one of the most awaited movies of this year. I was excited
about it since the day I came to know that RGV was making it. RGV
specialises in these kind of movie. And as he kept of adding the
star cast to it the Excitement just grew. @ of my favorite stars were a
part of this movie. Though I was dissapointed with the names of Mohit
Ahlawat first and then Prashant raj. But I am not dissapointed on the
latter anymore.
So what is AAG all about. Most of us know the story. But Hold
up, there is something in it which is different, very different.
The treatment of the movie is all RGV style. Bits and pieces of
the movie remind you of Company and Sarkar - the 2 preceeding
masterpieces.
Its about 2 street-smart guys who have an ambition to take over
mumbai. In this course they meet the venomous Ins Narsimha Rao. Who
realises the potential in them and uses them to his advantage. But the
2 guys are only eyeing his money. A sudden eye-witnessing incident and
a pain cled Durga’s feelings change the 2 guys and they actually fight
for justice.
What comes after is a great battle between The Backlashers and the
Venom. Babban and his his troop has a tough time dealing with them.
So Will they be able to accomplish Narsinha’s mission?
Will Raj find his love in the widow Durga?
Will Heero be able to graner the outcomings of Babban’s plans?
Will Raj die in the end?
Will Babban escape?
Well - Watch it to find all that out.
Coming down to the performances - they is actually more than one
briliant performer in this movie . which is a rare thing. But when u
have names like Ajay, BigB and Mohan Lal in the movie, you expect that.
Amitabh Bachchan as Babban spells terror. He is brilliant with
his dialouge delivery and his facial expressions. Another thing that
Amitabh effectively displays is how cold hearter a villian can be. His
dirty look, his bluish green eyes do the trick for him and what he
gives us is a performance to remember. 5/5
Ajay Devgan - the name itself says qualitative performance. Ajay
Rocks the screen right from his entry and keeps the giggles coming till
the second half. He perfors decently in this one. But when, he shifts
gears and comes down to his serious acting, m He even smashes amitabh
bachchan out of the view in some of the confrontation scenes. A
top notch performance 4.5/5
Mohanlal - A shorter role for him here but the most significant
role of the movie. His hindi-mallu accent and the way he speaks brings
back memoirs of Company. His scenes with amitabh bachcan actually leave
u guessing that who is performing well . its actually both. They
compliment each other pretty well. Hope we get to see more of them
together. - 4.5/5
Prashant Raj - BOOM! Here is a surprise for you.
Swashbuckling performance. Knock Out performance. That is what PR has
given us. The last time I saw a new comer perform really well in his
first movie was way back in 2000. Yup that was again in an RGV movie
and as many of U wudve guessed it right - Vivek Oberoi. PRs performance
cant be classified as path breaking performance . but he can be a
really good second fiddle hero . PR is better than the whole lot.
3.5/5
Ladies:D
Sush: Looks sober even without make ups. Perofmance truly to the character. 4/5
Nisha Kothari - Oomphs! A very improved performance. She does it pretty well. 3/5
SUshant, Rajpal, Sachin, Gaurav do well.
Star of the Show
Is it Big B? NO
It is Ajay? No
It is Mohan Lal ? No
Nisha - No, Sush - No, Sushant - No Anyone else - NO
the star of the show is Ram Gopal Varma.
He hits the bulls eye with this one. What direction man.
SO all in all an entertaining affair and a great movie to watch. RGV Rocks and so does the team of AAG.
Movie rating 4.25/5.
KARAN - NewDelhi .:)
