After all the Dons and Ra.Ones it was indeed a great relief to see a good Hindi movie. The much awaited Agneepath, a remake of the critically acclaimed 1990 Amitabh Bachchan starrer of the same name,  is remarkable indeed. I haven’t watched the original movie; only  heard quite a lot about its excellence. And that is why, the new Agneepath  proved to be a very novel experience for me.

Hrithik Roshan as Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, Sanjay Dutt as Kancha the villain, Rishi Kapoor as Rauf Lala, Prinyanka Chopra as Kali, Zareena Wahaab as Suhasini Chauhan, Om Puri as Inspector Gaitonde and Chetan Pandit as Master Deenanath, seasoned actors that they are, transform expertly into the characters most convincingly; but it was  child artist Arish Bhiwandiwala (who played the young Vijay)) who left  me awestruck with his performance.

Agneepath glues you to your seats from the very beginning and yes it is one of the most well shot flashback stories that I have watched. The color shades of each frame, the dressing, the way the dialogues are written and the background score give you a one of a kind experience. From there, the movie just gets better and better.

I really don’t want to give away  the story line of the movie. But this movie is definitely one which shows a son’s love for his dad. And the way it is shown is simply mind blowing.
