Will Agneepath live up to public expectations?

‘Agneepath’, which is the remake of the 1990 Hindi film of the same name, is one of the most eagerly awaited films of this year but the question is whether if the movie is going to live up to the expectations or not?

If we see not much of the remakes have lived up to the expectations. Aag and Umrao Jaan are the two examples in front of everyone. Both movies failed to do any good for the audiences thus what is special this time, which has developed so much hope among the people?

Perhaps the difference this time is the cast, as it looks pretty promising. Sunjay Dutt, who plays the villain Kancha Cheena, is known best for playing negative roles and since he is taking Danny Denzongpa’s place in the movie, people are expecting something good. On the other hand people are pretty excited to see how Hrithik Roshan will overshadow Amitabh Bachchan’s legendary role of ‘Vijay Deenanath Chauhan’.

Hrithik has also been criticised by many out there yet the actor looks completely unfazed.

“I think it’s absurd that anyone would think I was trying to ape the Vijay Dinanath Chauhan of the original,” he retorts. “The only way I can do justice to a movie is to make it mine, and (make) the character me. I’ve played Vijay straight and simple, without any swagger or style. He is someone who would merge in a crowd if the camera hadn’t picked him out to tell his story.”

Another plus point for this movie is Priyanka Chopra, who will be Hrithik’s love in the movie. Chopra is basically filling in for Madhavi, who played Mary’s role in the original movie. Chopra, who is a former Miss World, has the potential to make any dumb film look good and last but not the least this film is being backed by Yash Johar’s Dharma production and Karan Johar.

The only major change in the movie is this that one of the most important characters, Krishnan Iyer, which was played by Mithun Chakraborty, has been removed from the movie.

Keeping all the facts in front, it looks as if this time Bollywood will finally provide the audiences with something good.
