TRIAL BY FIRE

Namaskar - Cinema Review mein - main Bhawana Somaaya - aapka
swagat karti hoon.


Iss hafte - sirf ek release hain - Dharma Productions ki Karan Malhotra
directed Agneepath- jo Mukul Anand directed 1990 Agneepath ka
remake hain.

Goa ka chotte gaon - Mandwa mein - Deenanath Chavhan - ek
adarshwadi school master hain - jisse Kancha Cheena - purre gaon
ke samne - berehmi se qatal kar deta hain!

Iss haadse ke baad - Vijay ka pariwar - Mandwa chhodkar Mumbai
Docks mein bas jaata hain.

Vijay Mumbai ke drug lord Rauf Lala ke saath jud jata hain - aur apne
baap ke qatil se badla leneka - sahi samay ka intezar karta hain…
15 saal beet jaate hain…

1990 mein banayi gayi Agneepath -aaj bhi Amitabh Bachchan ki
career defining filmon mein ginni jaati hain…

Technical wizard Mukul Anand ki story aur character presentation -
uss daur ki filmon se hatkar – aur pathbreaking filmon mein mana jaata hain.
Karan Malhotra ki Agneepath thodi old fashioned hi sahi – lekin
masala film hain..

Dono filmein anyay se shuru hoti hain - magar jahan 90s ki Agneepath
- dard aur sunghursh ki kahani hain 2012 ki Agneepath - gusse aur
khoon kharabe ki kahani hain.

Nayi Agneepath mein - do major drawbacks hain…
Pehla - character deficit :
Amitabh Bachchan ka Vijay Chavhan - criminal hote huye bhi -
beimaan nahi hai !
Hrithik Roshan ka Vijju - dagabaaz bhi hai aur immoral bhi - jiski
wajah se audience character se empathise nahi kar pati.

Doosra - spirit of revenge - director Karan Malhotra - drama se zyada
- action par dhyan dete hai – Isi liye film mein emotion quotient ki
kammee lagti hai.

Dono filmon ke bohat saare sequences similar hai magar nazariya
alagh hai…

Danny Danzongpa ka Kanch Cheena - ruthless aur evil hai…Sanjay
Dutt ka Kancha Lanka ka wrestling Ravan hai..!

Amitabh ki maa - Rohini Hattangady - adharm ke khilaf hai…Hrithik ki
maa -Zarina Wahab- uttejna ke khilaaf hai...

Mana ki nayi presentation hai aur naye superstars - mana ki item
numbers ka zamana hai -magar kya wholesome entertainment ke liye
- child victimization -women abuse - drugs - slum lords' aur excessive
violence ka mishran zaroori hai..?

Film mein ek bhi aisa hathyaar nahi hai - jo istimaal nahi kiya gaya
- phir wo haath paun - muqqa - kaanch - dori - bomb -gun -rifle -
chakku - lakdi -chain - bamboo - pathar - paani - ya agni…

Film bohat lambi – aur verbose hai - Dongri chawl ka set -
exaggerated lagta hai.

Mandwa ke jis ped par Masterjee ko tanga tha - wo ped 15 saal ke
baad - bhi - sukha hai…

Unka viran jhopda jisse Kancha ne jala diya tha - aaj bhi adha adhura -
jaisa ka waisa hai…

Gaon ke mukhiya ne 15 saalon mein apni paghdi nahi badli - aur
Sanjay Dutt - itne saalon mein - na buddhe hue na kamzor …

Poore gaon mein utne log kabhi bhi nahi dikhe - jitne Katrina Kaif ke
item number mein…

Film ke favour mein - main kahungi - ki Hrithik aur uski behan ka
rishta effective hai - Priyanka Hrithik ki chemistry aur romantic
sequences palpable hai.

Ajay - Atul ka music subject ke hisab se hai- aur saare performances
badhiya hai!

Khas taurpe Rauf Lala ki bhumika mein - Rishi Kapoor - scene stealer
hai!

Hrithik Roshan ne Vijay Deenath Chavhan ko ek naya roop diya hai -
aur ye hi samajhdari hai !

Dharma Productions ki nayi Agneepath ko milte hai 3***/ stars.

The review appears as it is on Cinema Review on Zee Cinema, Fridays 9PM.
In an edited version over weekends on 92.7 Big FM

  2. I love the way you write so easily Ma'am. Comparisons are inevitable especially since the old one is an Amitabh Bachchan classic. Main soch raha tha ki Mandwa Mumbai ke coastline se zyaada door nahin hain. Is it in Goa actually? I would appreciate if you could write some other thoughts related to cinema as well on your blog.
