I am happy, terribly happy. Relieved actually!
I had been going through the sinusoids of fright, terror, disgust, and all such similar painful emotions ever since I had heard the rumour that “Abhishek Bachchan is going to play Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in a remake of Agneepath”. However, my heart beats got normal after KJo confirmed that Hrithik will play the lead instead.
I understand that Agneepath is not an ancestral-dynastical-protégé, wherein it gets handed over from Yash Johar to Karan Johar, and from Amitabh to Abhishek. None of them could or can do justice to such a kind of film, considering that it’s a direct lift from a masterpiece – Scarface (let Bollywood make one million remakes, but I doubt anyone can match the magic of Brian De Palma and Oliver Stone, or even Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht – original writers of the 1932 film of same name).
Yash Johar would have been insane to equate Vijay Dinanath Chauhan to Tony Montana. Amitabh did no wonders either; Rani Mukherjee would have been a better choice, if only the voice was to be praised. I doubt KJo too, whether he can handle such hard subjects; remember the mess he did with Kaal – a so-called thriller?
Abhishek??? Grrrrr! I hate writing about him; he would unnecessarily feel being important, even if ridiculed. See "Raavan", see what a clutter he is in that movie. Raavan, because it’s recent, I can make you horrifically-nostalgic by taking you to the times of “Refugee” and “Bus Itna Sa Khwaab Hai”, and so on.
Amidst all this comedy of errors, KJo has finally applied some sense and chose Hrithik over Abhishek. However, so, nothing can match the heroics, machoism, and style of Al Pacino. Though Karan says that his Agneepath will be different from his dad’s version, I sincerely hope that he applies lot of mind to the matter of the original movie and try to match his version to Scarface.
I would love to remake Scarface (not Agneepath, mind you). If it had been then in 1990’s when Agneepath was made, I would have haunted Pavan Malhotra (watch Salim Langde Pe Math Ro) to play Tony Montana. If it had been today, I would be pulled in Neil Nitin Mukesh for that role.
If you still feel that Agneepath was a “oh-ah-wow-great-awesome-sahi-sollit” kind of classic movie in Bollywood, I request you to please watch Scarface, and watch it so many times that it finally brainwashes Angeepath out of your head.
In all good hope that Karan Johar will do some good work!
