Agyat Movie Reviews

Director Ram Gopal Varma
Thriller
Hindi

Ram Gopal Varma’s Agyaat, which thankfully turned out to be more of a suspenseful adventure thriller than a spook fest.

Ramu keeps his Phoonk formula aside and ventures into the jungle to whip out a film that cross-breeds the Hollywood hit ‘Predator’ and the low-budget ‘The Blair Witch Project’, with some obviously expected smattering of desi masala in the form of item numbers thrown in. So we have Nisha Kothari - now rechristened

Priyanka – dropping her clothes to do the jungle jig to add some titillation to the scares. Absolutely no complaints about that. But hey! The film just goes on moving in concentric circles after the first death. There seems to be no story here; just a series of averagely conceived killings.

A film crew of about a dozen goes into a dense jungle to shoot. When the camera breaks down, they decide to take a trip into the unknown wild. But the camping trip turns into a nightmare when their guide is mysteriously killed. So the crew - comprising of a semi-clad heroine (Priyanka Kothari), a leering hero (Gautam Rode), the quirky director (Howard Rosemeyer), a south Indian producer (Ishrat Ali) and assistant director (Telugu star Nitin) among others - is left stranded in the maze of the jungle with an Agyaat killer on their trail. Who, if anyone, will survive the killing fields?

Must say Ramu chose a very good location for the film. A dense jungle with only streams of light peeping in from above the treetops and all the strange noises of animals of the wild combine together to make an apt background for the film. If only the actors could live up to the ambience.

Priyanka Kothari mostly wears two expressions on her face - sensuous and scared. Nitin is perhaps the only actor who delivers a credible performance. The rest mostly end up hamming. But more annoying than performances is the background score (Amar Mohile) that gets blaring to the point of clearing your ear of all the darned wax.

The item song at the very start of the film isn’t much of a gem. ‘Agyaat’ doesn’t exactly keep you on the edge of your seat. Yes, there are a few scenes (mostly when the anticipation of what’s going to happen is building up) that give you goose flesh. But mostly, the so-called scary scenes end up making you smile rather than sending a shiver down your spine. So, it’s entertaining, at least.

KAMINEY

'Kaminey'
Vishal Bharadwaj’s film Kaminey tells the story of two twin brothers who hate and avoid each other like plague until life makes their paths cross.

The movie stars Shahid Kapur , Priyanka Chopra and Amole Gupte in lead roles.


Guddu and Charlie are brothers, born and raised in Dharavi, the world's largest slum in the heart of the megalopolis, Mumbai.

They also happen to be identical twins, in early twenties, hoping to leave the squalor behind and move into a life of prosperity and dignity. But the similarity ends here.

Guddu works as a trainee in a small NGO firm in the city. He hopes to climb up to the top of the corporate ladder. He wants to be a bona fide member of the burgeoning Indian middle class. His career has only just begun though and the road to bourgeoisie is both long and arduous. Yet Guddu is at it. He is honest

Charlie makes a living hedging bets at the race course. He moves around the plush hordes of the rich and famous at the races. For him this is just a way to make quick money and he dreams of becoming a legitimate bookie one day. Charlie is street smart, wily and brave. And only for himself. The brothers don't like each other. They believe they have nothing in common, not even their speech defect. While Guddu stammers, especially when he is nervous, Charlie has a lisp. The brothers have built their lives so that their paths don't ever cross. They believe it's only a question of time before they are out of each other's sight forever. All that is about to change. In one day. A day of reckoning. An unusual day, just right for the unusual events that unfold in its course.

Charlie is having a bad day at the office. He has practically bet everything he possesses on a coveted derby race. But at the last minute, he is double crossed as the race is fixed in their opponent's favour. He hunts down the jockey and plans to get even when the rival goons burst in. In the ensuing melee, Charlie and friends take off with a getaway car. Not knowing that the car belongs to a ruthless pair of cops, Lobo and Lele, who run drugs for the beach lord, Tashi. Soon enough, Charlie discovers a stash of coke in the boot of the car. All hell now breaks loose as the cops and the drug mafia get after his case. Charlie has to survive. And by his wits alone. Guddu is performing a street theatre act when his newfound girlfriend, Sweety Bhope appears on the scene, distraught and announces that she is pregnant.

Guddu is shocked at first but realizes quickly that there is no real problem. They can get married right away! They can't. There is a real problem. Sweety reveals her secret – her brother is Sunil 'chopper' Bhope, a gangster with political ambitions. A ridiculously dangerous man. And he already knows. Sweety informs Guddu that as they speak, her brother's men are out for his blood.The story unfolds as the day progresses. Intercut between the parallel stories of the brothers as they run to protect themselves, their dreams and their love. Until a point where it converges and the brothers meet to realize that they only have each other.

It is only through trust in each other that they can get out of the mess that they haven't created. They uncover a deadly political-police-underworld nexus. They discover virtues within themselves they thought didn't exist. And most important of all, they find each other.

'Kaminey' is produced by UTV and is written by Vishal Bharadwaj who’s also composed the music. Lyrics are by Guljar and action by Sham Kaushal
