Agneepath - if that was a legend, this is a legendary remake

On a bright sunday morning, waking up with silent ambiance all around and finally setting off to the plex with a terminus of viewing the cult remake of Mukul S Anand was an immensely silence breaking encounter covered by poignant, demoniac, racking screenplay for me mixed up with high-class drama attached by shades of breathtaking performances as well as horrifying looks of the honorable cast.
It has become a trend for the on going film culture in the tinsel town to pounce on the cult classics of yester years. There have been many remakes which worked well among the masses and even fell into the well. But, for me if i put my thumbs up and sabaash it, then undoubtedly it would be Agneepath.

Remaking a cinema that shadowed the characters among the movie-goers for two decades needs expertise, humble dedication and the risk of even losing it. Out here Karan Malhotra's impeccable perfection and profecient virtuosity requires a green thumb. It is only one such remake where dillemmatic judgment might arose stupefacting the viewers as to consider which one is the best. That's where the film turns out to be successful. The original without any premium of doubt is reserved to be a legendary creation. Similarly, one cant throw away the (Vijay Dinanath Chauhan)  Hrithik Roshan starrer out of the plate. It's a legendary remake in making.

As we all are quite accustomed to the basic facts and scriptures of Agneepath, so its unnecesaary to pen about its plot. Instead it will be apt to directly aim the bulls eye of the film i.e. Kancha Cheena.
After you watch the bald brain covered by the skin of Sanjay Dutt, you would feel like giving the character or more clearly the demon a no-watch. Its horrifying to its core, Destructible to its impulsion, Adamant to its attitude. The Kancha Cheena as played by the veteran Denzongpa was a shining demon from heart with a well white coated outlook giving a taste of luxurious, wealthy don of illegal activities. But, to our surprise Cheena played by Sanjay Dutt deserves no explanation and no word of appraisal. It just mummed the audience as one never saw this side of the actor i.e. if given to play a villain he can hit the ozone layer of perfection quite nearing the likes of Gabbar Singh, Mogambo, Shakaal. When i am asked about who was the best, the reply would be the bald headed Kancha Cheena who's look seemed to have been inspired from the look of Marlon Brando (Apocalypse Now).
Another evil character on the trot was Rauf Lala by Rishi Kapoor. It was an astounding, an unbelievable and an embezzled performance played by Mr.Kapoor. Never ever was such role played by the gem of the kapoor khandan. It will stay in everyone's memory for a long long time.

Vijay Dinanath Chauhan as portrayed by the all round prodigy Hrithihk Roshan is no less than the one by the National Awardee Amitabh Bachchan. Such was his performance that it would snatch you from your own world to the surroundings of Mandwa, to the slacks of Dongri, among the armageddon of evils. Roshan requires no point to prove to the world about his qualification, finesse and proficiency, insted he is climbing the stairs of bewilderment. Throughout the cinematic experience Duggu's character evolves and keeps on hitting the volcano of his potential. Watch out for the little Vijay played by Arish Bhiwandiwala.
Darsheel Safary, Kushal Chakraborty (Sonar Kella) was the last time i saw a child actor of standard potential to be a stone for the seniors. Now arrives Master Arish.

Agneepath also brings back those periods of cinema where enetratinment and happy ending was the soul of the film. Stabbing the hero of the movie 32 times (julius caesar) never resulted in death at that point of time, and the same wounded and dying hero would stand up erect with electrifying power and ending the villains existence in no minute finally dying. Karan Malhotra's superb directorial technique saves the fun from the fuss.
Very much watchable screenplay by Ila Dutta Bedi and Karan Malhotra keeping you at the edge of your seats making every point of the venture a momentous stand , a gentle touch of craftsmanship by the cinematographers Ravi K Chandran and Kiran Deohans brings life to the white screen.
Finally, se inclinan to the man behind every possibility.... Karan Johar.
What Yash Johar couldnt get back from this film will definitely hit the right chord of the box office.

ans- Chikni Chameli, Sanjay Dutt, Hrithik Roshan, Karan Malhotra, Rishi Kapoor...

what not works for ?
ans- well, let Rajeev Masand decide :P ...

Swami Vivekananda

on the 150th birth anniversary of "The Hindu monk" Swami Vivekananda i hereby type few lines as said by the immortal soul on earth who is considered as the youth icon still today. His teachings have invigorated many, made on learn to rise from failures, to overcome possible obstacles, focus on the goal, to be devoted to one's task and many more unmatched words of thought.

i hereby take a bow before this great men on this special day to keep his thoughts alive within the surrounding souls with few priceless words as said by him............

"A voice is coming unto us, gentle, firm and yet unmistakable in its utterances, and is gaining volume as days pass by, and behold, the sleeper is awakening ! Like a breeze from the Himalayas , it is bringing life into the almost dead bones and muscles, the lethargy is passing away, and only the blind cannot see, or the perverted will not see, that she is awakening, this motherland of ours, from her deep long sleep. None can resist her any more; never us she going to sleep any more; no outward powers can hold her back any more; for the infinite giant is rising to her feet.

Rig-Veda says, " Be thou all of one mind, be thou all of one thought". .... Being of one mind is the secret of the society. .... That is the secret - accumulation of will-power, co-ordination, bringing them all, as it were, into one focus.


My faith is the younger generation, the modern generation. Out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem, like lions. I have formulated the idea and have given my life to it. If i do not achieve success, some better one will come after me to work it out, and i shall be content to struggle.
Let us all work hard, my brethren; this is no time to sleep. Do not figure out big plans at first, but beging slowly, feel your ground, and proceed. Up, up, the long night is passing, the day is approaching, the wave has risen, nothing will be able to resist its tidal fury.........."
