Being an avid RGV fan I make it a point to cover every body of work he is involved with and needless to say I had a mission to accomplish when Agyaat was released.
Does it work? Well, read on.... I promise I will keep it short-n-simple (hopefully!). The performances of every actor is amazing, background score deserves applause, cinematography is breath-taking, the jungles are captured at its natural best. Sadly behind all this foam - there is no beer! For every scene seems disjoint resulting in inability to connect connect with the storyline and therefore the fear. For instance when the actors were scared I was feeling "much-ado-about-nothing". Same with background score. As for the movements of Agyaat it is copied from Screamers and the blink-and-miss from Predator.
۩ Gautam Rode (Sharman): Was loud and OTT. And which actor are you digging at RGV?
۩ Priyanka Kothari (Aasha): Cauliflow is a cauliflower by any other name (pardon the expression Shakespeare!). She is not another Urmila - lightening doesn't strike twice at the same place.
۩ Ishteyak Khan (Laxman): Releasing pent-up energy was kind of coming.
۩ Ravi Kale (Rakka): Agyaat was a window to show-case his muskles to which the audience were Agyaat about.
۩ Howard Rosemeyer (JJ): Parents and teachers should be blamed for his awful habit of chewing pencils.
Exploring jungles is not a new terrain to RGV. He has done a brilliant job in Kshana-Kshanam, Antham, Jungle and Nishabd. This time around I got bored with the forest, monkeys and the weird camera angles. Wonder what this itch of the spider who refuses to give up with the horror genre.
Agyaat 2 - can the thought "Rest In Peace", please?
PS: We can expect RGV to pull up his socks for his next outing, hopefully!
