Aag

Aag directed by k ravi shankar released in 1994 is an action thriller which is an above average film. Storyline is good. But the problem is that at some parts of the film things seems cliche and meaningless. Good part of the film is performances by all actors and the undercurrent violence ruthless aggressive act of the story which is well depicted in some parts of the story. There's definitely some raw aspect in the film which makes viewers glued to their seats. Govinda does well in serious role. But the film actually belongs to shakti kapoor in the main villan role. He portrays a ruthless cop corrupt and full of venom with no mercy in his heart. Shakti kapoor is first rate and in full form. His make up adds to his performance.

Must watch.

In 1994 it was enjoyable although revenge sagas and brutal rapes were common in that era. This one is purely to see Govinda's versatile performance.

Aag, meaning fire as in the fire pain in the heart. Its a serious movie with action, drama and a little comedy. As the title mentions, its the story of Govinda, who stays silent and looks angry all the way through. Nobody knows why he is like that, but as the movie follows, you find out that he is looking after his mentally pregnant sister, who was raped by a corrupt Police officer, who was also responsible for the death of his Girlfriend. Govinda, went through many series of torture and police brutality. This is among Govinda's finest and underrated work, delivering a Brilliant performance. Shilpa Shetty is the annoying undercover police, but her sexy good looks doesn't bother you. The very beautiful and sexy Sonali Bendre is Govinda's girlfriend delivering a great performance. Shakti Kapoor is the corrupt and violent police, in a superb performance full of venom. This is a fine film, worth the watch.

Most of the govinda movies I've seen are from a time when he had packed on some weight and was doing full out comedy in a series of movies ending in "No. 1". I thought this would be one of his typical comic capers. He was really convincing in a serious role and I can definitely see why he was a bankable hero during this time. He looked really handsome in both looks. Shilpa's character was reminiscent of her character in rishtey. Sonali was ok for a newcomer although there isn't much for her to do. The songs are a bit below average. The ending is a little rushed but overall a good Bollywood film for a Friday night. Definite must watch if you are a fan of chichi.

A very good film . Govinda nailed his role . Every supporting actor performed well including Hoga Kapoor,Shilpa Shetty and Gulshan Grover. Shakti Kapoor as villain has done exceptionally well.
