Remake of Sholay ? Or a Joke ?



Just now I saw RGV ki AAG.... A much much hyped movie.. They say its a remake of the Old Super Duper Smashing full entertaining Dhamakedar one-of-its-own-kind majedar Maha-Comedy maha-Action one of the best movies ever made in this world... 'SHOLAY'.

The day I am hearing , RGV is trying to cash on the name Sholay and Big B, I really really was dreaming, would it be at least 1% of what the original was ? I am not going to jump into comparision, but comeon, at least 1% of entertainment it can provide... ? At least 1% ... this much audience can demand with such hyped movie..

But sorry to say Mr RGV sir... Its all disappointment in movie. I liked lots of your movies(Like Sarkar, Satya, Kaun) but Sholay... comeon you must be Joking...



The worst thing is main actors... 'Raj' and actress Ghunghru... Really the worst choice, RGV ever made for this movie ? Such a bakwaas expression-less face in 'Raj' , and Nisha Kothari , who knows everything else but acting...


Do they deserve to be part of such hyped re-Sholay ? Senseless choice ! I guess they dint charge anything for the movie, hence cost cutting factor is influencing movie production as well..

The next bakwaas thing is story.. Its almost the same... They say 'Old wine in a new bottle..' Should have done some changes at least... They saw remake of DON, and just jumped on Sholay.. Comeon.. Don has some change in the script at least.. And the choice of Shahrukh.. At least proved for its success... The scene by scene copy of the movie, and this kind of performance by 'so-called' actors(Raj and Ghunghru).. What was the dream behind it ? Just a remake for the sake of it... ?

The best part is Babban ... Khauf of such gangster... To see Big B in such a strong role is always a Treat, and the performance here is like one of the best by him in negative roles... Big B rocks !



Music has no charm (Other than Mehbooba), action doesn't revet anywhere, comedy is repeated from original... This movie has nothing to watch... Other than Big B, Urmila's Mehbooba, And Thakur's power packed acting.. 'Hero' (Ajay Devgan) also performed a bit, but still, he could have done much much better.. All in the director's hand...

Mr RGV... Your attempt failed drastically.. Please dont dont ever try to remake with such epics of Bollywood cinema..if you can not do justice with it !

All in all .. This AAG ignites only one spark in mind... "Could it have been worse than this. Dont touch other epics please." Please dont waste your time/money for this movie.





And the original Sholay ko, Jai Veeru ki dosti ko, Thakur ke badle ki AAG ko (:)), Basanti ki baaton ko, Jai-Radha ke pyar ko, Soorma Bhopali ki chaturaai ko, Jailor ke dialogues ko, Train vale scene ke effects ko, Naai ki chugli ko... Sabse zyada Gabbar ke khauf ko.... Mera Shat Shat Pranaaam !!!
