Run;
hide, save yourself before you get swallowed up by dreadful flames of this AAG.
I am disappointed not because I had huge expectations

from this one. I had no

     but because one of my favorite directors, a certain RGV holding
the merit of giving us the three best scripts in form of Satya, Company and
Sarkar, who made even the mediocre scripts like Naach, Darna Mana Hai,
Nishabd etc worth a watch at least once seems completely lost, confused,
and his latest offering looks, sounds, feels like a B-grade movie.

No
need to acquaint with the story as it is a hypocritical altered copy of classic
Sholay barring few changes here and there. Now, the movie has envious
casting. RGV is a fine director. So, what went wrong? Let me put in plain
words.

To
start with, take the title of the movie. As long as there was Sholay
affixed to the title, RGV Ke Sholay sounded pretty okay depicting
this is his version of Sholay. After losing the case Ramu had to drop the
Sholay from the name and added AAG. So, what was the rational behind keeping
RGV Ki in the title? What does that suppose to mean? RGV Ki AAG???

Next,
a brief on who plays who? In my review of Bheja Fry I had mentioned which was
the last movie you remember by and large because of the names given to the
characters rather than the actors who enacted those roles. And Sholay it was.

So
Ramu changed the names as well. Gabbar becomes Babban (Amitabh
Bachchan), who unlike Gabbar is barely fearsome. You do not feel the chill
running down your spine seeing Babban mouthing those babyish dialogues. He is
old, pale, blows air, and laughs as if he got asthma attack.

Mohanlal
stepping in the shoes of legendary Sanjeev Kumar as inspector Narsimha loses
just fingers unlike hands in latter’s case. He is an impressive actor. The only
problem being his Hindi Bhasha delivery.

Veeru
and Jay are replaced with Heero and Raj (Ajay Devgan and Prashant Raj
respectively). Both suck big time and are nowhere close in recreating the bond
Veeru and Jay shared. There is no depth in their friendship. There is no soul
to it.

Radha
is Durga (Sushmita Sen). And Basanti is Ghunghroo (Nisha Kothari), an awful
actor. You see her and you feel like puking straight on her face. And then
there are others like Mausi, Gangu Mummy in this one (Eeeww...What crap is
that??), Dhanno is Laila, Samba is Thambe et al.

When
it comes to performances of these aforementioned actors
(hypothetically), only Mohanlal stands out. Big B not only looks horrible, he
fails miserably being frightening and funny at the same time. Amjad Khan as
Gabbar was superb and etched out a perfect balance in being funny and frightening.
Would not say much about Prashant, as a debutant I think he was just ok. Ajay
Devgan is irritating throughout. Giving him company is Nisha. That girl
seriously needs to realize she is one big nuisance of Indian Film Industry.
Sushmita is utterly inconsequential.

And
the last nail in this coffin is the dialogues. This movie can indisputably win
the worst movie in remake category. If Sholay is remembered for its
authoritative and appealing one liners, RGV Ki AAG as well will be remembered
for long time to come for the biggest spoof ever.

Now
read some dialogues from the movie.

Amitabh
asks his men  - Kitne?” After some
time “Kitne?” (Ramu scrapped Aadmi from the original and just Kitne
sounds comical).

Amitabh
– “Diwali Kab Hai? Huh? Kab Hai Diwali?”

Ajay
– “Don’t judge book by cover. I am your lover.”

Amitabh
– “Kaliganj ke sabhi police walon ki biwiyan, apne pati kee lambi umar ke
liye, karvachauth ka nahi, babban ka vrat rakhti hain”

Ajay’s
constant Yes badgering and Nisha’s Too Much is really too much to
bear with.

For
movies like this, people say keep your brains out and watch. But I would
disagree. You do not have to take out your brains or do something like that.
All you need to do is just ignore. Just forget this movie is ever made. Just
forget that an ace director like RGV ever tried to play around with our very
own anytime any day watchable Sholay. If you have seen this, god bless
you. If you have not, you are warned now. If you are forced by someone to go
for this, do not later blame them. Just forgive them cuz they did not know what
crime they were doing in taking you along against your will.
