Agnipath
All feedback's, point of views in this movie review are fictitious and hold no resemblance to any fact,thought.
I loved the movie, i loved everything about the movie!
Before we relive the journey of Agnipath, first thing i noticed was the change about first visual of Dharma Productions logo and background music!
It had changed from background score of " Kuch Kuch Hota hai" to new "Devo Devaaye Devo Devaaye".....That gave me feeling something big is going to come now, I had been used to Dharma Productions with " aaa aaa aaa fame of kuch kuch hota hai".....that was the first change, silence before the storm.
Second change i noticed the name had changed from " Agneepath" to Agnipath".......that was enough to tell me that Vijay Dinanath Chauhan is back, he is back to take his village back, to take the revenge of death of is father, to look for his mother's love, to look empty, to search, to hunt.
Before i get to main leads which always take the limelight, let me thank few people who made 2.50 hours of mine such a great experience.
Ila Bedi: for the stunning screenplay, keeping the intensity of the every scene live, to show the emotion to its full glory.
Saroj Khan: who beautifully made Priyanka dance on " Gun Guna Re Gun Guna Re" with her signature steps with Priyanka doing full justice to the song.
Ganesh Hedge: He is making million feet dance in pubs,marriages with his song " Chikni Chameli" .....amazing choreography with his usual spontaneous steps and south Indian energy blend with Maharashtra touch ( will come back to this later)
Stephen Gomes: He made us jump from the screen, he kept the intensity with sincerety, Back ground score was at its characteristic best
I liked the build up,where Vijay was being prepared to take on Kancha, he was very clear what he wanted, he knew the ways also, with his immense intensity Hritik has done a great job, He was silent for the most part ( which i liked and hated at the same time) , he was not as powerful as Kancha, he was smart,he was emotional, His look in the film was so apt, so raw he was not seen dancing to any of the song much, to keep the revenge alive may be.In climax when Kancha seemed to take full control, he remembered his goal, the tree was calling, it was destined that Kancha will be hanged in the same way, no body could stop it.There was one change in Vijay's character, he was not shown as people's man now as in his earlier avatar, though it was shown that people were taking him up their shoulders, yet he was so away from people, the people's power.His earlier avatar was more honest.
It was really interesting to see Kancha who in his earlier avatar was mean businessman but here he was cruel, he was daunting to mankind, he was god, reciting geeta, he was portraying he was the controller, the looks of Kancha were larger than life ( closeup shots were really well taken).......he was powerful, very powerful.
Priyanka has showcased her acting talent with fashion, kaminey, 7 khoon maaf, she looked raw, yet pleasing, contributing to Vijay's goal, healing him, she wanted Vijay to win but she knew somewhere it was not possible if she became his weakness so she played the role beautifully not coming in front of Vijay yet dying for him, her love.she loved his family giving assurance to Vijay that somebody was there.
Strangely Vijay's mother shown less substance, in her earlier avatar, she was more powerful, demanding, strong, stubborn but here she was just a naaraaz mother with no dukh of her husband's death.
My eyes were wet at two scenes
1. When Vijay meets her sister, Sonu Nigam again mesmerizes and proves that he is best at evoking emotion with his soulful singing.
2. Vijay eating food outside his mother's home saying " 15 saal ho gaye maa ko apna pyaar dikhana nahi aaya"
Rishi kapoor has done wonderful job, he was true to its character, he was businessman, he wanted to be powerful yet handicapped by his sons, a plotter, a man with substance, he though was just a ladder for Vijay to reach Kancha, he was the one who converted raw Vijay to Powerful Vijay.
The production values were great, from Ganpati pooja set , the angles to holi set was awesome, specially the fire in circles in chikni chameli song was well shot from the top.
Chikni Chameli has done wonderful dance, beautiful katrina dancing spontaneously, brilliant, sherya ghosal has sung the song effortlessly, the lyrics like " Gehre paani ki machli hun raaja" was so different!
overall every character played its role to his potential, from Vijay's anger to Kancha's meaness,Priyanka's rawness to Chikni's moves, it was total entertainer.
Now before i finish, i request people not to compare scene wise with old Agneepath as it was original thought screened and this was more technologically advanced, it will be crime to compare dialogues which were the hero in old Agneepath where anger was the hero in this Agnipath.
Those who have not seen the movie, Pls go and watch the movie! ( Kudos to Karan Malhotra)
rest in next
