Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag Hindi Movie

If Ramu have expected 'Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag' is going to do wonders at the box office I am sure, it will be on his fanciest dreams. Oops, did I say dreams. Ok, our dear Ramu is not going to have dreams for quite some time. Sleepless nights and nightmares are all that Ram Gopal Verma is privileged to have after making a film like Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag.

Is Picture Mein Kya Hain ?

Sholay toh dekhi hogi aap logon ne. Ok, then it's the same plot. Only the characters get some new weird funny names and the screenplay and dialogues are thrown in an Aag, all the humor, romance, thrills, emotions are removed. Yes, that sums up Ramu's Aag.

Ajay pheeka Devgan, Nisha overacting Kothari , Prashant expressionless Raj are abysmal, to say the least. There is no chemistry between any of the actors. No romance between the lead pair, no bonds of friendship between the two friends. Absolutely nothing. The badly choreographed songs are a patience testing tool for the audience.

Kuch Toh Achcha Hoga :

Leave the southern accent wali Hindi and Mohanlal does a good job of playing the role that Sanjeev Kumar had immortalized. The Big B shines and dazzles in the role of the dreaded gangster Babban. The way he sneers and thaws, his entire body language and mannerisms deserve full marks. It will not be wrong to say that Big B recreates the magic of Amjad Khan with his own inimitable style.

The background score of the movie and the cinematography are the only two good points on the technical front.

I have a simple question to Ram Gopal Verma. Could you not come up with a better name for your pathetic remake of Sholay? 'Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag', Is this all your creative team is capable of. "Please give me two tickets for Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag". Even the guy at the ticket counter laughed when I asked that.

Final Verdict

Ram Gopal Verma is no Ramesh Sippy. This Aag is sure to leave Ramu's Factory incinerated. As for me, I have an appointment with my psychiatrist today (thanks to Ramu). Hope everything is fine up there. Watch the movie at your own risk!!!
