One of my friends said that Agent Vinod is the remake of old Agent Vinod (Available on YouTube). I was not convinced, but when I came out of the theater I started believing it. Really? Sriram Raghavan? After Ek Hasina Thi and Johny Gaddar, Agent Vinod? I still can't believe that Saif and Sriram come up with this utterly disorganized film.
Agent Vinod is something that Saif wanted to do with Kurbaan,(Thank god they haven't repeated any love making act, may be Saif wanted to concentrate more on acting skills.) The main problem of the film is screenplay. Screenplay throws out sequences without any explanation.You can't connect with this film. It feels like writers were stoned and when they were high they started writing Agent Vinod. This film shows you glimpse of 12 or more countries with irrelevant characters that supposed to be most wanted criminals.Every character is flat and shallow. I can't even say 'underwritten'. There are ton of questions that could really make you sick and dizzy. Couple of dialogues is witty but you heard it in first trailer itself. Sriram tried different things like to relate the sequence with Charlie Chaplin's films and to synchronies the fight sequence with silent song but it doesn't hold your attention because your mind continuously tries to figure out what the hell is going on.
Too many characters but no one gets enough time to act. Saif is confused, he tries to carry the film but the plot (?) is so weak that I would have watched Don 2 again. Why the hell did editor freeze some random frames? To make an impression on viewer's mind?
The good thing about agent Vinod is that it's not in 3D. This is not an action movie, it just a movie where someone kills someone, that's it. The most idiotic thing about the film is that a bullet is sufficient to kill Vinod but then, again we have to face lame action moves. Why was there Rajat Kapoor and Gulshan Grover? They come and go, they do nothing.But why did even writers come up with those characters.
Agent Vinod is not an intelligent, smart film and it doesn't come up with anything new. This spy has license to boredom.

The second official trailer of Agneepath released with equal exposure to every character chilled by pulse pumping soundtrack of Ajay-Atul. Every frame was well crafted and contributing something to evident agitation. It was rare to see trailer like this in Hindi film industry where trailers burdened with random visuals.
The film starts in the year 1977 at small village 'Mandwa' near Mumbai, which gradually introduces each character and eventually the big masculine demon 'Kancha' played by Sanjay Dutt, Is this Sanjay Dutt's best performance till date? Nope, he is bald with smirk that he tries to sustain till the end. Writer (Karan Malhotra) tried to modify the original by defining each and every character and miserably he failed. He was confused whether to introduce entirely new or spice it up the original. Story drags here and there without any explanation, director cum writer cum person who shares same name with his producer (Karan Johar) defined those things which are small portion of the film, but he never defined it (may be he was very happy to sign Katrina for 'chikni chameli') why Vijay out of the blue, after 15 years makes move to get control over Mumbai and goes to see Mandwa so that Kancha can torture him? So that Rauf Lala (Rishi Kapoor) will know about everything? Why writer? Why? I'm being too dramatic, but film is all about this drama which just looks good on the screen (thanks to Kiran Deohans) but unorganised writing made it plastic. At the one point of time, I felt, is this a last attempt of Yash uncle to shade emotions with heavy dialogues? where each dialogue lasts for 3 minutes (I was not counting that's threshold limit of my patience in the movie theatre.) Movie is filled with heavy (not smart) dialogues; it only grabs your attention when Rushi Kapoor comes in the frame, wow... what a performance!!! He enjoys his position as Mumbai don after being super organised about it. He sets an example about how much Hrithik has to learn.
Kiran Deohans comes with such good frames that personified art direction, especially Mandwa gaon which looks like cemetery after Kancha started ruling it. At a point you get confused whether Vijay stays in red light area or common man chawl.If it is a common man chawl then why Kaali (Priyanka) wears saree in sultry way? Yeah, I know I'm being paranoid and I blame this film for that.
In first Agneepath (I don't want to compare) a single 'cut' takes you to grown up Vijay. Here, a frame wasted for plain "15 years later" subtitle,guess what,in the very next scene,Hrithik comes to play Dahi Handi(Height of Spoon feeding).
Oooh God!!! What a stupid film with such stupid pot holes, it has given cult status to the original by being such stupid film.
What else I can say? You came empty handed and you will leave with empty handed (from holy Bhagavad Gita), the core philosophy of Kancha, but I went with sheer excitement and left the theater with empty popcorn cone.

When I saw trailer of Don2, it looks like teaser of new random travel show, because it had loads of stills from Berlin concluded by close up of Shaharukh Khan. But for other teasers they used au courant technique of animation with one liner, pretty cheap na? I was morbid when I heard songs. really? I don't want to compare with any other popular songs, but the vigor is missing. Music of this film is stale.
Don 2starts with the scene where Don's enemies are plotting against him. The scene doesn't even contribute anything to this heist film. But then the scene entirely overshadowed by next sequence where Don comes with smirk on his face and act like a superhero. Shaharukh always believes that he is the king of the industry, when he gets to play the character which gives justice to his true persona, he personified it. In Ra.one, he was confused whether to play romantic hero or tough robot. But here, character is already defined. 3D effects are not notable. Ritesh Sidhwani made this film in 3D after watching Ra.One in 3D, of course he said so.
Screenplay tries to disclose everything and anything, which wasn't necessary. Farhan hasn't to overcome this problem; why there is necessary to show that Sameer's (Kunal Kapoor) wife/galfriend is pregnant. Does that contribute anything with your any conflicts of the script? The answer is no, but that consumes pace of the film. There are too many shots and scenes which are well shot but when you zeroed down them, you will come to know that their contribution in the story is zero. Farhan did same thing with his potentially smart film 'Lakshya' let's not talk about it. Farhan tried to make Don's character like a superhero but he forgotten to make it believable.
Script errors are too many. If you are aware of format of heist film then, the end and twists(?) is predictable.
It was Shaharukh who hold up the show. Priyanka Chopra doesn't have any idea why she is in the film. (May be it was intentional) Her character (Roma) is underwritten. Why there is a guy who wants to hit on her? That's not characterization, that's Script play writer was busy making other plans.
One liner that will tempt me to watch this movie again.The movie is not intelligent enough to watch it all till the end
