Agneepath (2012) Hindi Movie Review

CNN IBN: By Rajeev Masand 

Rating: 3/5

You’re not likely to be bored by the intense action and the solid performances, but prepare to be exhausted by just how long this film plays on.This remake rolls along like a well-oiled machine. I'm going with three out of five for director Karan Malhotra's Agneepath..... Read Full Review

Rating: 4.5/5

AGNEEPATH is vigorous from the very commencement to the absolute conclusion. The only 'hiccup', if one may say so, is the romantic track towards the first hour, which is lackluster. On the whole, AGNEEPATH is a fitting tribute to the masterwork.....Read Full Review

Like its original, Agneepath is loud and lengthy revenge sage. And while not as blood-soaked or explicit, it bombards the screen with its escalated, larger-than-life tone, vivid colours and robust imagery. To me, that's exactly how Agneepath works, less of a remake, more of a tribute. They should have just called it Dharmapath.....Read Full Review

Times Of India: By Avijit Ghosh 

Rating: 3/5

Remakes are tricky affairs. Expectations are invariably high and comparisons are inevitably made. Innovatively lensed, partly in Diu, Agneepath is a visual delight. Try to wipe out the movie's earlier version from your mind. You might find it more enjoyable.....Read Full Review

Watch this film because this one is unadulterated Bollywood entertainment. I’ll go with three stars and add half a star for the sheer excitement palpable in those who I watched the film with. Near packed attendance, hearty applause and complete silence in parts. What a bright start, it can only grow from here.....Read Full Review

Hindustan Times: By Mayank Shekhar 

Rating: 3/5

An earnest Vijay Dinanath Chauhan delivers poetic justice before a nearly packed hall on the proverbial 'first day first show'. This is the kind of genuine theatre experience, now getting rare, which remains most precious in the life of a film-goer. Reason can take over later. I had a ball!....Read Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5

Devoid of fluff, the hyperbole toned down, and shorter, Agneepath would have been a far superior film. In its present form, it packs in enough punch to warrant a viewing. How much you enjoy it, though, will be directly proportionate to how much melodrama you can withstand. Old school Hindi film lovers, however, are in for a treat.....Read Full Review

Dainik Bhaskar: By Daily Bhaskar 

Rating: 3.5/5

Stupendous performances, fresh storyline despite a remake, Chikni Chameli song and cinematography are strengths of the film. Music, editing, long duration are the weak points.

On the whole, Agneepath totally rests on star power which will lure the cine-goers to halls but how far will it impress them remains to be seen.....Read Full Review

Thumbs: Up  

Neither is Agneepath a great film nor a terrible one. It’s ordinary. It’s gripping in parts but suffers as a whole. Unfortunately for Karan Malhotra, unlike Don or Devdas, there’s only that much you can do to contemporise Agneepath and make it relevant for today’s viewers. Watch it for Hrithik’s performance and a few dramatic moments, but only if you are willing to sit through three hours of an intensely filmy movie.....Read Full Review

Rating: 4/5

What’s Good: The arresting screenplay; the performances of the cast; the Chikni Chameli song; the raw action; the canvas, the making and the shot takings; the direction.

What’s Bad: The excessive violence, blood and gore; the film is very heavy and a bit too lengthy.

Verdict: Agneepath is a surefire hit, no questions asked! It will shake the box-office today (Republic Day) and in the first weekend....Read Full Review
