Mumbai: Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt's magical performance in Agneepath impresses viewers across globe. Stepping into the shoes of Big B, Hrithik Roshan here has done a commendable job in his own style. Watching Agneepath you can once again say Hrithik has really grown as an actor.
Sanjay Dutt’s Kancha is much more menacing than Danny Denzongpa’s in the original. He looks evil and brings a madness to his character. Exceptionally brilliant portrayal of the character by Rishi Kapoor engulfs the audience into the brutality of the world Vijay breathes in. Rishi Kapoor's crude character, it leaves immense impact without crossing the familial domain. Rishi Kapoor manages to carry off the vulgar character of Rauf Lala quite convincingly. He is uninhibited and delivers a sparkling performance. Katrina Kaif proved herself best among heroine though her sizzling performance in item song "Chikni Chameli". Priyanka as mentioned before gets wasted. Zarina Wahab and Om Puri are decent in their parts. Music by Ajay-Atul, except Chikni Chameli that sets the screen on fire, is passable. Katrina Kaif sizzles in the item number 'Chikni Chameli'. She looks sensuous and catches your attention with super-energetic dance movements. Cinematography and dialogues are average at best. This proved that 'Agneepath' certainly become the first blockbuster of the year 2012.
It should be noted that Agneepath is an action thriller film remake of the 1990 Hindi film of the same name. The story opens in an island village of Mandwa. The school teacher of the village,Dinanath Chauhan (Chetan Pandit),who is highly respected by the villagers tries to dissuade them from giving away their lands on lease to Kancha Cheena (Sanjay Dutt),the son of the village head who plans to start a drug mafia.He then proceeds to put a false blame of raping a student on Master Dinanath and executes him in full public view by hanging him to banyan tree.This forces the 12 years old Vijay and his mom to flee the town and they reach Mumbai where his mom gives birth to a baby girl. In Mumbai the young Vijay sees Kancha and as events pan out becomes an accomplice of Rauf Lala (Rishi Kapoor) as Rauf has clash with Kancha. Vijay tries to seek help and power of Lala to be powerful and get hands on Kancha to take revenge one day.
By the time Lala becomes sole Drug Mafia of the city and keeps on running the business of selling the young girls. Police officer Gaitonde (Om Puri) manages to debar Kancha from interfering in Mumbai but can not get proofs against Lala or Vijay.
Lala's son Mazhar Lala (Rajesh Tandon)is a freak who very much conflicts his business and personal agendas. Mazhar hates Vijay for being a stronghold on Lala's business. He expresses his disgusts towards Vijay to Lala. But Lala consoles him saying that let Vijay handles business and Mazhar to be close observer of the business and when time permits then should finish Vijay.
Vijay plays double cross by holding home secretary (Sachin Khedekar) to ransom, who is Kancha China's aid; and threatens Shantaram another aid of Kancha to be a middleman between Vijay and Kancha to have trades of cocaine to Mumbai from Mandwa. He sets up plan to win trust of Lala and Mazhar when he takes the shot on himself and portrays as savior of Mazhar.
On the night of his marriage,Lala's son Mazhar Lala gets the information that the shot was fired by Kancha's man and along with Vijay leaves to end him in the process of which is shot dead by Shantaram right in front of Vijay who is unmoved and already knows the plot.Vijay later shoots Shantaram as he no longer needs him as he had already sendmessage to Kancha and also for not leaving the evidence of their conspired plan.Lala on seeing his son dead falls sick and is admitted into a hospital unconscious.In the meantime,Vijay takes the place of Lala.He is then contacted by Kancha.He accepts Kancha's offer and goes to Mandwa for a business deal.While in Mandwa,Vijay puts his deal in front of Kancha which is handing over the drug business in Mumbai over to Kancha and in return taking Mandwa.Though Kancha initially suspects this deal, he later agrees on the condition that the commissioner Gaytonde must be killed.
Meanwhile back in Mumbai,Lala regains health and knows the truth behind his son's death.He gets hold of Vijay's sister Shiksha(Kanika Tiwari) and calls out for her sale in public to one who bids the most.Vijay is notified of this by Kancha and he flees back to Mumbai and kills Lala after which he gets closer to his family who had exiled him since the day he had joined Lala's group after killing inspector aid of Kancha when he was 12 years old.In the meantime,Kancha sends a man (the same person who had set Vijay's house on fire in Mandwa 15 years ago and was the real rapist of the student) to keep an eye on Vijay and as he finds Vijay to be considerate towards commissioner is asked to assassinate the commissioner.This man while trying to assasinate the commisioner is murdered by Vijay in Ganesh Visarjan event. Vijay's mother Suhasini sees the news of this in the paper saying she knew this person as a Mandwa citizen and goes to the police; identifying her and Vijay as citizens of Mandwa. A mole in the police informs Kancha of this. The commisioner later warns Vijay to be careful as Kancha posed him a threat.Vijay then marries his love interest Kaali (Priyanka Chopra)who is killed right after their marriage during a shooting spree by Kancha's men.
Vijay leaves for Mandwa to avenge the death of his father and his wife by killing Kancha and on the otherhand,Kancha gets hold of Vijay's mother and sister and brings them to Mandwa.During the final showdown,Vijay bearing a couple of initial stabbings from Kancha garners energy by reciting the poem "Agneepath", which his father had previously told him would give him strength. Vijay, reciting the poem, kills Kancha by hanging him from the same banyan tree to which his father was hanged to. Finally, Vijay succumbs to his injuries and breaths his last in the lap of his mother, while seeing a vision of his childhood.
