Ram Gopal Varma's Indian Flames-1080P

Ram Gopal Varma's Indian Flames-1080P

This film was absolutely...ugh i can't find the word oh wait... crap! I mean when it started i was like yeah this looks good and then after it was so boring. I nearly fell asleep and it had nothing to do with the fact that i caught a late showing because it was utter filth. Ram Gopal Varma has tried his best but the cast could never live up to the cast of the original Sholay i mean what was he thinking doing a remake. What was he trying to do? Be like Sanjay Leeli Bhansani and win all the awards next year like he did for Black? Ajay and that other guy were good especially the other guy who played raj because out of all of them he was the one to look at. What was Amitabh doing? He's destroying his own dignity by doing all these stupid films. First Nishabd then Cheeni Kum then Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and now this i mean hes got to gather a bit of his money and move as far away from Bollywood as possible before he loses all his respect and I'm telling you he's already past half his way. I mean all this is really good for the other actors like Shah Rukh Khan who's getting a really good name now because of the recent downfall of Amitabh. I never really liked him because he thinks he's God and i just knew Abhishek was going to be in that movie. If you want to save your £17.75 and spend it on something good go watch Heyy Babyy because that's just the funniest movie ever and it's number one in the charts!

Something somewhere must have terribly gone wrong right at the time when the director was perceiving this plot. The movie, that was supposed to be the remake of one of the most loved movies in cinema, fails to deliver in every aspect of movie making. The best of the artists could also not pick up the tuning, that simply goes on to show that the movie in itself was a grave mistake. The editing is poor. Direction is crap. Acting is out of this world(omg)! The characters who are supposed to look scary force people to laugh on the stupidity of their dialogues and costumes. I wouldn't watch the movie even if someone paid me the cost of the tickets or even gave me a free burger with it.

Truly shows that hype is not everything. Shows by and by what a crappy actor abhishek is and is only getting movies because of his dad and his wife. Amitabh as always is solid. Ajay Devgan as always is shitty and useless and the new guy is a joke. The leading lady is such a waste of an actor. Such pathetic movie from such a revered director and from such a big industry. With movies as such I have decreased the amount of bollywood movies I watch. RGV has been making very crappy movies for a while now. Time to get different actors. Hrithek anyone? Bollywood needs Madhuri and Kajol back. Every other leading lady is a half-naked wanna be. Pffffft.

ill give it an 8 out of 7 because of guts...RGV has the guts to make a remake of a 1975 classic bollywood film...Whatever you do, do NOT compare this film with the original..While the story is the same, the setting and everything is completely different.Either way RGV knows what he is doing...The first part of the film was great, but the second part could have used some improvement in the when it comes to execution...I have always said that RGV is one of the best film makers in India alongside Mahesh Bhatt, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and Vishal Bharadwaj....From Shiva(1989), satya and company, to kaun, bhoot and sarker, RGV definitely knows what he is doing...There are many scenes in this film that stand out...Amitabhs intro (Babbans) was brilliantly executed...The acting could have also used some improvement...Amitabh and mohanlal were amazing but the rest of the cast was just OK...Ajay devgan was a miscast in my opinion..Instead Aamir Khan or even bobby deol would have been better. So basically, a decent flick (violent though), but it gets a 7 because of RGV's habit of taking a risk

If you don't compare RGV Sholay to the the Sholay then you might like the movie it has its ups and downs. First half of the movie was quite interesting, the characters are well played by Ajay Devgan and Prashant Raj which was an OK surprice and specially Nisha Kothari who surprised me by her good acting, and she looked too good. Now to the main character in the movie Babban, Amitabh sure did live up to the Bad evil character, when you walk out of the cinema you will still remember him. Will the movie be remembered...I think not, its a one time movie and thats it. The second half of the movie was too slow paced and many places the emotion scenes were soul-less and boring. The Mehbooba song was made really good, and Urmila sure did look hot. RGV a good suggestion to you, don't make anymore remakes specially not the classics, I don't think your name as an Director will be criticized much cause You are not a great director.You made some good gangster movies but many flop Horror movies. You are and will always be an average Director.

First of all sorry for giving even a rating of 1 to this movie (nothing less than this available). The film fails in every department be it screenplay, direction, characterization or acting. 1) To start with, the name of the movie is really C class (though the movie itself match up to the name). 2) Amitabh Bachchan tries his best to live up to the character but the weak script coupled with pathetic direction ends up making him a humorous character. 3) In Sholay Gabbar Singh has reward of 50,000 on him (which was convincing). Here in Aag the figure was 100 crores for Babban (Amitabh Bachchan but poor man was beaten by our so called hero's and had only few men bikes to commute (with all automatic guns). Making a Sholay like movie in Mumbai type setup in modern time doesn't look convincing. 4) As for Nisha Kothari, somebody needs to tell her that she doesn't know acting. Why is Ram Gopal Verma casting her again and again ? 5) Mohanlal was good but there is hardly anything for him to do. 6) Sushant Singh and Rajpal Yadav who are great actors are wasted in the movie. 7) Legendry role played by Lila Misra (Mausi of Basanti) in Sholay is replaced cheaply in this movie by some Gangu Mummy. Ramu please grow up and understand that there needs to be some intellect in your movie. Enough of stupid characters in your movie like Shiva and Aag. 8) Should not say anything about modern Jai and Veeru..pathetic to the greatest extent. To summarize, I was shocked to see this movie because it looks like a cheap and comic translation of original classic. Please don't waste money and time on this movie. I think watching Aap Ka Surror (which I thought was the worst movie possible) would be a better idea than to see this horrible package of stupid characters, bad songs and miserable direction. Thanks, Saurabh

This movie is seriously under-rared. I know that It has some serious blunders but the good part makes up for it. First the bad part: Ram Gopal Verma shouldn't have included any "comedy" scenes... they don't go with the rest of the film's look.The suicide scene was ridiculous. This guy, who made Company, comedy does NOT suit him. The moving hand held cameras were handled the ultra-moron way. Moving cameras can be used beautifully - see "The Bourne Supremacy". This guy, Amit Roy ruined it, I don't know, the guy who did well for Sarkar, what was he thinking? The frequent references to Al-Qaeda, America and Iraq were irritating. We'd've got what Babban meant even with out these comparisons. The goods are: Amithab's portrayal of Babban - very scary, sadistic, and freaky. Most criticisms of this are based on the character of Babban himself and not Amithab's acting and are therefore, hollow. Mohan lal. The disquietening affect of the shots - no wonder the guys around Babban are scared of him. The movie was not a scene by scene rip-off of the original Sholay. Once you get into the movie, you are absorbed into it. It is disquietening, it is disturbing - a photographic portrayal of the hierarchy of dominance

I think people need to judge this movie a little differently from any other movie. We should judge it remembering that its a remake. What makes a good remake? I think a movie that gives you the flavor of the original with a new twist, would certify as a good remake attempt. That would make it a truly inspired movie as opposed to a copy of the original. An inspired movie as I said has the 'flavor' of the original but not necessarily the same content. Take for instance the song 'Mehbooba', it is not a Remix of the original! That takes some creativity. To generate the mood of the original song but create a different one. If you want to see a real (good) remix of 'Mehbooba', watch the Himesh Reshamiya movie. Another word to describe the remake quality of Aag is: Subtlety. For example, take the character of Jay. You get the feeling of of the original Jay but can't put your finger on the similarity right away. A more direct copy approach would have been to hire a true look-alike (Abhishek?). The other thing that RGV has done quite well is to present the story in a different context yet retain its believability. I think presenting the story in the context of the Mumbai underworld set in the modern times was a significant challenge in itself in which RGV again succeeds with flying colors. Overall look at it as RGV's tribute to the masterpiece and he certainly deserves respect for his attempt. So if you haven't seen it I would strongly recommend it and you might agree that it stands out as a good example of a truly inspired movie.
