Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag is fantabulous, it is one of the finest films to have graced Bollywood. Ram Gopal Verma is surely a magician to have made a film par excellence. Was this what Ramu expected the audience to mouth out after watching this film?

Then these words of appreciation may just be available to Ram Gopal’s ears in his 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 he 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.

Questions for Ramu
Could you not come up with a better name for your pathetic remake of Sholay? “Please give me two tickets for Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag”. Even the guy at the ticket counter laughed when I said that.

By the way, did you have a casting director for this movie. You did, huh! Ok fire him right now.

And tell me, do you spend crores of rupees on such movies just to torment the naive audience and to torture critics like me. You #$@#@#!!!

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!!!
