Review - Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag...
Every frame reeks of self-obsessed director mercilessly butchering the original. The characters are not etched out at all and have plain bad dialogues. It is sad to think of Babban as Amitabh Bachchan instead of the other way around. Others are all pre...
posted 3 years agoI love reading your reviews. They are funny, and informative. I decide if I should see the movie or not by reading your reviews.
As far as RGV is concerned maybe, he might be watching too much tv, "NYPD Blues"-- american TV series with way too much camera movement.
Again thanks for a fun read.
posted 3 years agoThanks!! Hopefully "NYPD Blues" has some redeeming factor.

posted 3 years agoThanks for the immediate action, BA! Much apprciated! I left a comment on Remo's blog too, but it promptly got deleted.
posted 3 years agoWhat Anurag Kayshap(guy who co-wrote Satya says about his guru RGV:
people who have had the oppurtunity to work closely with him will
always look up to him..he was my school.. but that RGV doesn't exist
anymore.. today he thinks marketing is the game..and he likes to
believe he is the marketing whizkid.. there is a lot i have to say
about the man..but i guess it's not the right time..
i sincerely hope he quits and goes back to reopen his library and be
the filmbuff again atleast for two years and come back and then make
films, then probably he will generate many more like us..
he is not the same man who made satya..
posted 3 years agoThanks g. This is a comment that Anurag Kashyap left on a post at Passion for Cinema. for those interested, you can read the post and the discussion at http://passionforcinema.com/projekt-iview-rgv-or-what-industry-musclemen-getaway-with/

posted 3 years agoWell, on the bright side, one person gave it a so-so rating. Lol, didn't we all see this clunker coming?
posted 3 years ago:) It is amazing how uniformly the movie has been disliked, Amrita. I have met people who went in the theater with low expectations, neutral and high expectations - but reactions were all the same.
posted 3 years agoRamu wake up you are nowhere close to the classic SHOLAY after 30 years a remake of this film is a shame on you.
posted 3 years agoAmitabh wake up as well lately your choice on films is washing out. Amitabh that stood for that powerful act in movies like
Yash Chopra made are made for you. At the age of 60 keep that pride and prestige. Ramu you had
a golden opportunity to make a film with a story in hand and what a waste. Amitabh one suggestion to you being my
favorite actor read the script and follow the directors that have given you what you are today, not with directors like Ramu that have no idea what they are doing. Overall Ramu your aag movies is on fire to end your career.
d movie shud hve been named "RGV ka DAAG"

Well reading this review I think the movie is quiet pathetic. What do you think guys is it worth the 150 bucks? In this review Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag gets only 2 out of 5....

posted 3 years agoPlease dont waste your money and time on this moview. Purely wasted talent for RGV, Ajay Devgan, Amitabh and Mhal Lal.
Mohan Lal. Nisha Kothari is boring and Sushmita Sen is wasted.
Do not watch is especially if you are someone who loves Sholay and knows each and every dialogue. You will see
posted 2 years, 12 months agohow badly a remake can be made.
